Replaces all Planets and Background images, and adds a lot more.
which version should you use?
1.2.2 includes only 3 hubble images the rest is made by me.
1.3.2 is the same as version 1.2.1 with 62 additional hubble images, that may be very color intense. In version 1.3.1 i made a lot of changes to hubble backgrounds, so you may not need your sunglasses anymore... ;P

If you have a clean installation of FTL you can just install slipstream mod manager, the mods and activate them.
If you're not sure that your FTL installation is clean keep reading.
go to
"\Steam\steamapps\common\FTL Faster Than Light\Slipstream Mod Manager v1.4-Win\backup"
and delete everything in the backup folder, if u activated any mods after the update, make sure your have the latest "data.dat" and "resource.dat"
if you're not sure, delete those 2 files in:
"\Steam\steamapps\common\FTL Faster Than Light\resources"
then verify game files (this will download the latest "data.dat" and "resource.dat" files) , start the mod manager and activate BetterPlanetsandBackgrounds 1.2.1 or 1.3.1 and optional better asteroids....

Ive been trying to get the mod to work but it does not register in my slipstream folder.
it's a 7zip archive, you have to extract it first.
Hello. When I add this mod into the slipstream mods folder, it does not appear in the mod manager at all when I open it. I even tried putting the compatibility patch in before it. Note: I am using CE edition.Please help.
it's a 7zip archive, you have to extract it first.
so i have to buy 7zip to play with the mod? lol
lol 7-zip.org is FOSS - Free Open Source Software xD
