130 Gorgonzola

Captain's Log: #184.

The hunger of [NULL REFERENCE] is insatiable. We can't keep feeding it random scraps. We need something... better.
The last of my remaining crew has reported something... strange. Something we've heard jokes about... but never seen realized.
I can't believe I'm writing this, but perhaps our solution to the infinite hunger of the void... lies in... cheese.

Well boys, we've found the golden planet. And here I thought Dr. Harlan was nuts...

130 Gorgonzola is a moon with a surface and atmosphere very similar to the manmade product known as 'cheese'. It is rumored to be somewhat radioactive, and thus not recommended for human consumption. However, it could be good for satiating the appetite of certain extraterrestrials. Keep your eyes peeled for the omnivorous clientele who enjoy the cheese as much as you, including dogs, sandworms, and [SCAN REQUIRED]. Inside is dominated by spike traps, a necessity for processing the cheese into valuable and usable material.

Detailed Info (Spoilers Ahead!)

Difficulty: B+ (slightly above Offense)
Price: Free
Size: 1.4
Interior Weights: 225 Facility / 75 Mansion
(Recommended modded interiors include Storehouse and Office!)

Moon currently has several easter eggs to find with more coming! Features custom weather, scraps, randomly spawning objects, story logs, parkour, pits of cheesy death, and more!

First in a series of moons known as Nikki's Mysterious Moons! These moons will take on wacky and wild themes but attempt to still fit the lore and gameplay of vanilla moons.
The second moon is coming soon... hopefully.

Roadmap (Severe Spoilers Ahead!)

Credits

Shoutout to AudioKnight for his awesome LLL moon-making tutorial! And a shoutout to JacobG5 for making and adding features for JLL just because I wanted them, I wouldn't have custom weather without his help. Thanks to Teserex for making several art pieces for the moon and paying for one of the models I used. And Generic_GMD and Magic_Wesley for helping with testing, updating, feedback, and just overall motivation. This project would likely have been abandoned without y'all. <3
