Question about Additional Planets OXP

Hi all,

I am a bit confused about the Additional Planets OXP and perhaps someone here can help me. I understand that I first need to install the Additional Planets SR Base OXP and then intall other OXP to add textures, but how do these other texture OXP get along together? In the manager, I see the following options:

- Additional Planets Demux Pack
- Additional Planets Redux Pack
- Additional Planets SR: Demux Volcanic
- Additional Planets SR: Other Gas Giants
- Additional Planets SR: Alien World
- Additional Planets SR: Earthlike
- Additional Planets SR: Ocean Worlds
- Additional Planets SR: free bitmaps dusty
- Additional Planets SR: free bitmaps icy
- Additional Planets SR: free bitmaps rocky

If I install all of them, does the game randomly pick textures from all sets or do some of these OXP get priority over the others effectively disabling them? And what are the Demux and Redux pack, are they also texture packs?

No priorities. Everything is pooled and planet/gas giant/moon textures are pseudorandomly drawn from the pool so that the textures are persistent every time you visit the system. Demux and Redux contain the textures from old oxps called System Demux and System Redux. So, install the base and colour your Ooniverse with as many packs as you like.

That's all clear now, thanks spara!
