This mod may be safely installed before landing on any other planet, as it does not change anything about the initial part of the game on Nauvis. Other planets have various recipes changed and sometime even the planet generation itself, so I wouldn't recommend it adding it if you're already that far in the game. I've tried to maintain the vanilla balance as close as possible, though the changes inevitably will make some planets easier and some harder than usual.
Completely untested with others planet mods, things might break

Changes:

  • Vulcanus
    -- Changed coal for carbon in planet generation
    -- Removed coal to carbon recipe
    -- Added sulfur crystallization for turning sulfuric acid directly into sulfur (only on Vulcanus)
    -- Rebalanced coal synthesis to give more coal and added it to Vulcanus tech

  • Fulgora
    -- Removed solid fuel and holmium from scrap sorting
    -- Changed heavy oil ocean into oily sludge ocean, refined into heavy oil, light oil and holmium solution
    -- Changed holmium chain, you get ore from solution, then smelt it into plates
    -- Added holmium bacteria, post Gleba, to breed as much holmium as you like from bioflux

  • Gleba
    -- Gleba trees now give wood as well as fruits
    -- Added a way to get carbon out of wood
    -- Added bio-oil, crafted from coal and jelly, a new required ingredient in various gleba recipe
    -- Bio-oil can also be used as flamethrower fuel, extremely effective against pentapods

  • Aquilo
    -- Completely changed planet generation to create a full arcipelago of icy islands
    -- Changed crude oil into bitumen seeps, separated into coal and petroleum gas
    -- Added quartz as a minable resource
    -- Quartz can be smelted into silicon and further processed into silicon cells, used in quantum processors

  • Miscellaneous
    -- Added a new crafting machine, the Gravity Assembler, as a pre-Aquilo reward. Can only be placed on space platforms
    -- Added the ability to use agricultural towers to farm fish
    -- Added a deep-mine item that automatically explodes after being placed and creates a new water or lava pool depending on the planet
