First of all , I love this mod. Its amazing.
Secondly, its kinda laggy with a bunch of big ships, the game really slows down when nearing a planet with a ton of ships in a big ship

Hello, I will go ahead and test it with a bunch of big ships and see how it looks. I will inform you here if I manage to optimize it further to make it less laggy. Thanks a lot for the kind words and for reporting it!

I reproduced it with 10 big ships and 0.4.2 cuts the lag while ships arrive or leave by about 10x. Let me know if it still feels slow on your side, thanks again for the feedback

found a new bug? visual bug. How to repeat ; anytime a platform in bg is "in a planet" with planets in background mod and the floor disappears. Especially with enlarged planets

Thanks for the report! Found it: Factorio 2.1 draws the planet as part of the background, under everything mods draw. Visible Planets draws its planet differently, as a sprite on the lowest mod layer, which is the same layer Fleet View used for the floor. So the planet could cover the floor of the background ships, and bigger planets covered more.
0.4.3 is out and moves the floor above that layer, so the floor should stay visible now. I tested it with Visible Planets at a big planet size. Let me know if you still see it!
