3D Terrian Generation

Description
Unlike planets, asteroids have depth, large craters, and huge mountains. Even though planets look 3D, if you land on them, they aren't. I started playing around with asteroids, and realised they have elevation maps! So, that means I could put Mars's map on asteroid, andmake it 3D! Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Get an asteroid.
Step 2: Change the radius, map, and interface colors to Mars's. (That's if you want to make 3D elevation for Mars.
Step 3: (THIS PART IS REALLY IMPORTANT.) Change the mass to something 100-1 atmospheres. The low mass is what makes it an asteroid, not the radius.
Step 4: Change the Elevation Maps. Change the first one to Mars, then the second one to "Flat."
Step 5: You have completed the guide!

NOTES (PLS READ)
This also works with the imaginary planet maps.
Not ALL planet maps work.
Sometimes, the elevation map does not line up with visual map.
It is hard to edit "planets" if the elevation map 2 is set to "Flat"
You might glitch through "planets" if you try and land on them.
Ice, snow, atmospheres, clouds, and city lights do not appear on these planets because the game still thinks it is an asteroid.

If you can find a work-around these, please tell me.
