Procedural planets look great until you want to place your own content on one — a base, a village, a landing pad. The terrain is curved and streaming, so a hand-built structure ends up floating or buried. This update fixes that.
Exclusion volumes flatten the procedural terrain into a genuinely flat pad (toward the tangent plane, not a spherical cap) and clear the foliage and grass, so you can drop hand-authored content straight onto a streaming planet. In this video I place a landing pad and buildings inside an exclusion volume on a planet, and the flatten stays seam-free across chunk borders.
Shipping now in PlanetGen V1.9 and SpaceKit V1.1, along with a depth-tinted ocean and more.

🚀 SPACEKIT — COMPLETE SPACE GAME TEMPLATE
────────────────────────────────────────
SpaceKit puts planets, gravity, and a pilotable starship together into one playable loop: explore on foot, board your ship, fly to another world, land, and step out. Everything in this video, in one plugin.
► SpaceKit on FAB: fab.com/listings/bd94c4cc-f603-493a-86dc-8f53e883e24f
► Free Playable Demo + Project: patreon.com/CodeLikeMe/posts/166643913
And update the "GET THE PLUGINS" block to include SpaceKit as a listing option, so viewers can grab either the individual plugin or the whole template:

🪐 WHAT'S NEW
────────────────────────────────────────
✔ Exclusion volumes — flatten a flat build pad on a curved planet and clear foliage/grass, for landing pads, villages, points of interest and streamed sub-levels. Seam-free across chunks, works on planets and ring worlds.
✔ Actor spawner — scatter real actors (ore, plants, wildlife, enemies, loot) filtered by biome, slope and altitude. Deterministic, streamed around the player, respects exclusion volumes.
✔ Depth-tinted ocean — turquoise shallows fading to deep navy, shoreline foam, clear shallows revealing the seabed. Opaque, so it sorts behind the clouds from orbit.
✔ Volumetric clouds fixed on UE 5.4 / 5.5.
