The tale grew in the telling! This was supposed to be a small patch, addressing a few issues while I work on the next major update (planetary rocks + drill!). However, a few new features ending up sneaking in!

As part of that, I needed to revamp planetary lighting: this patch includes colored sunlight, atmospheric ambient lighting, and reflective terrain colors. Also, a feature I'd been hoping to get to for a long time: twinkling stars! I also fixed the skybox generator and tweaked the star sizes and milky way color.

The next big update is going to be awesome: a big change to the planet surfaces, and a big change to the way the game plays. I'm also attempting to smooth out performance in general, reducing annoying frame spikes which have gotten worse over time.
