Outdoor map with no plants?

I'm trying to make a Venus outdoor map, but all of the ones supplied in the Foundry seem to be overrun with plants. Have I overlooked something, or is making a lifeless environment like that totally impossible?

Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    The only one with no plants at all that I found is Hobus, which has all the baked in piping and all in the center, and the shield skyline/low grav. But may be usable if you can find a way to block those parts off and use the surrounding area.

    There's also Rocky Clearing, Desert Clearing, and Moon Clearing, which are clear of plants in the clearing at least, but plants are around outside of them.

    Heh, didn't think of Rura Penthe. But yeah, if you can reshade it to not be white. :)

    Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll play around with Rura Penthe (once the server is back up, that is...).

    It would be nice to get Nukara Prime in the Foundry. That thick yellow atmosphere would be perfect for Venus.
