I made this little mod mainly for myself, but decided to share with everybody.
This mod adds a new species - 
Alta, 2 new planets with their own biomes, monsters, many hazards and treasure. The mod adds new unique weapons, armor, cosmetics, augments/collars, spawners, codexes, throwables and other equipment.
All new content can only be found on those 2 planets, is fairly balanced, and thus doesn't interfere with normal gameplay!
Check out the end of the description for a rundown of new content. Or, even better, check out the official Wiki!
Version 2.4: Alta Hobbies is out! Check out the changelog for details.

Where to start
To explore the worlds added by this mod, try to find new planet types around tier 3+ stars!
To start progressing in the mod content, craft an 
Alta Crafting Station! It should be available at the tier 2 Inventor's Table.
From there, you'll be able to craft:
- mod equipment (armor, weapons, throwables, etc);
- other mod crafting tables;
- all mod items that can normally only be found through loot (requires max tier).
Other crafting tables include:
Alta Constructor for crafting objects/decorations/traps (upgrading to max tier allows you to even craft natural objects and loot tables);
Alta Datacenter for crafting codexes that tell you the lore and/or explain how certain mod items work (highly recommend reading them so you don't have to visit the wiki);
Alta Upgrade Station for upgrading some mod items in exchange for 
Gheatsyn Shards.

Compatibility
- Doesn't require any other mods to work;
- Should be FU-compatible.
Incompatible
Having these mods doesn't crash the game, but using them with altas will not work.
Temporary partially incompatible with NpcSpawner+ - use this patch if you want to create alta NPCs with it.
Supported Addons
More about supported addons here: Mod Support
- Tabula Rasa (most items and objects are available at the table);
- Spawnable Item Pack (all objects and a lot of items are available here, though fewer than at Tabula Rasa. I would recommend using max tier Alta Crafting Station, Alta Constructor and Alta Datacenter for all recipes);
- Equivalent Exchange (all plant-based and non-organic materials can be studied at the Farm Table and the Mine Table respectively. Nothing for the Hunt Table);
- Improved Food Descriptions (proper support for all effects added by this mod);
- More Planet Info (proper support for all effects, weather and biomes of this mod);
- True Space (planets added by this mod are able to spawn near True Space stars.
Alterash can spawn as a mild/cool planet or satellite, 
Alterash Prime as a cool/cold planet or satellite); - Race Traits (check mod screenshots for stats);
