Hehe, the included .git directory leaks a GitHub repo, but it's a 404: https://github.com/BobTheKerbal/Homeworld
The user has another one, but it's empty: https://github.com/BobTheKerbal/Homeworld-Planet-Mod

It does come with some config files for PlanetShine, but I don't think it needs PlanetShine-Config as provides, because it doesn't include a Settings.cfg, justCelestialBodies.cfg for its planets.
It does seem to come with complete EVE and Scatterer (+sunflare) configs though.

Did play-test this mod because this all didn't feel right, and the forum thread doesn't have any information at all.
Turns out this mod seems to have an undisclosed dependency on Scatterer and Scatterer default configs, otherwise you get buggy planet textures and lightning (bot for no Scatterer at all, or Scatterer without default configs):

Compared with Scatterer+ default configs installed:

Regarding EVE, it appears to work fine with only core EVE installed, so the configs and textures it ships with for EVE seem to suffice.

License change announced on the forums right now:

That was for a different mod, The World Beyond:

And the author is looking into the planet texture / Scatterer dependency problem now, let's hold off until the've investigated what's going on.

Thanks for looking at this one. I tried to download it during SpaceDock's busy hours and had multiple attempts fail.

Author asked us to wait for the full release of the mod, which may fix this problem.

[DasSkelett]

Closing for now as it appears it will take a while to the full release. Have subscribed to the forum thread and SpaceDock releases, will re-open once the mod is ready.

Author just announced that this mod will never see a full release:
