Organized Solar System


Organizes the positions of vanilla and modded planets to better reflect the Space Age gameplay progression. The radial distances of planets are unchanged. Their angles are specified by a number called the 'tier'. Tiers run from 0 (north of the star) anticlockwise to 6 (north-east of the star). Mods with no tier assigned appear vertically below the sun.
