WELCOME TO THE FORGOTTEN REGIONS OF THE THISTLE NEBULA

This mod adds 4 new moons that aim to fit into the vanilla moon roster, faithful to the game's ambience and visuals, but each with their own unique aspects from one another, either minor or major. From new scrap, to destructible fences... and more.

It is recommended to download its partner mod, DistinctEnemyVariety, which adds enemy skins meant to accompany the new moons added by this mod! Though it is not mandatory to play this mod.
