Has partial planet destruction been patched/modded back in yet?

Me and my friends stopped playing this when they made it so planets always explode completely when they collide, which ruined the fun for us because we had a lot of custom maps based around smaller collisions, with lots of asteroids and so on.

That was a year ago and we'd like to return to the game, so have there been any developments on this?

That was the asteroids update in July 2015:

Craters with dynamic terrain deformation caused too many issues.

An alternative without craters is on my list.

The craters were a large part of the fun for us though, even if they didn't quite work as intended. If a mod appeared that puts them back in, I'd go back to playing the game.

It's an engine level change.

Something like planet wide killers and base killers from my original wish list: ie no craters

The more options the better but gameplaywise the current implementation is good to end stalemates.
