<TextureSize>4096</TextureSize>
<AtmosphereSteps>6</AtmosphereSteps>

It will likely affect performance, but as you can see the planets look a lot better closer up.

Well, i am colorblind a bit, but i see absolutely no difference... I spend much too less time watching planets anyway. But keep up looking for stuff like this, one day you may find something i can use .

I see a miniscule difference, But Imo it's not worth it since they are working on planets as we speak, They will look way better then they do now when they get more love and gameplay involving planetary landings.

It is hard to noticed around the coastline but the middle of the terrain does look noticeably crispier on my end.

It's easier to see in the higher resolution image I linked to in the first sentance, than the attached image. It's basically in the fine details, things are less smudgy.
