Looks amazing. Pol has been my favorite celestial body since I started playing KSP in 2014, and I can't wait to re-explore it in glorious high fidelity.
I hope that the pointy triangular boulders are coming back! They are my favorite feature of KSP1 Pol.

Procedural parts would be nice, but I guess they’re just not happening, based on the past >6 years of people asking for and implementing them.
Struts, fuel lines, fairings, and launch clamps are all vanilla procedural parts.
Also, OP isn't asking for procedural parts. They're asking for a way to control how fully the ladders extend. We have deploy limits on cargo bays, there's no reason we can't have them on ladders as well.

Six and a half years ago, Porkjet teased an update to Habitat Pack, which he called "LivingSpace". These were the original images he shared: https://imgur.com/a/fZpyU
Last year, he quietly released all those parts on Github, under the name IberiCo Spacecraft. https://github.com/Porkjet/IberiCoSpacecraft
I've been playing with the mod in 1.11.1 and it works great. Absolutely fantastic parts pack.
This seems to have gone entirely undiscovered by the KSP community until now, which is kind of amazing to me. Porkjet told me it was fine to post about IberiCo here, so here I am, spreading the good news

Those only appear if you are using other mods, that needs them. You need to check your mod list
This information is incorrect. I double checked with a clean install of KSP, no mods except KPBS.
However, I fixed the issue by simply deleting the files for all the parts with non-stock resources.
-
Hello, is there a version of KPBS that doesn't have all the new resources? After installing the mod I'm seeing all kinds of new stuff I don't recognize, like Enriched Uranium, MaterialKits, and ExoticMinerals. I just want the pretty parts
-
Hey, I'm currently using 0.7.3 with KSP 1.11.1 and there are no issues that I'm aware of. It all works great.
Thanks for all your hard work making maintaining KSP mods, Linux, you're the best <3

Hi, I don't have any experience coding KSP mods, but I'm a full time Unity dev so I think I can help.
The problem here is that lights have a culling mask that determines which layers of objects their light affects. Kerbals and ships are on different layers, and the PlanetShine lights do not have the Kerbal layer in their culling mask.
According to the KSP modding documentation on layers, Kerbals are on layer 16. So I think this bug would be fixed by changing line 124 of PlanetShine.cs from light.cullingMask = (1 << 0); to light.cullingMask = (1 << 0) | (1 << 16);. However if that doesn't work (the modding docs seem pretty out of date so I wouldn't be surprised) you can write a script to find the layer of the Kerbal renderer components and use that number instead of 16.

I have yet to see the mun look like the screenshot that galileo has been pointing to, am I missing something? Does it disable itself if you are missing some kind of graphics card feature?
You have to turn up the terrain quality in the graphics settings, then restart the game.

I support this wholeheartedly. Take all the time you need.

@KSK in real life, humans will be making interstellar journeys subluminally. I play KSP for the realistic futurism fantasy. If you really want science fantasy technology there will certainly be mods for it, just as there are in KSP 1.

If they're still using chained constrained rigidbodies to model craft I would not be optimistic about multithreading the physics calcs for a single vessel. Some problems thread well, others don't. It's not just a matter of flicking the multithreaded switch when compiling.
Except thanks to the incredible work of the people at Unity it literally is, assuming the game is built with DOTS. I know this because I have personally worked with multithreaded physics in Unity.

That page only says that Unity supports HAVOC. Supposedly KSP can't use GPU-Accelerated physics engines at all due to how it's physics is calculated. That page does not say anywhere on that entire page that they support Multi-Threaded CPU Based physics at all. If you're going to post something, try and make sure it's accurate.
To quote from that page:
> Built on top of the Unity C# DOTS framework, it is network-ready, completely customizable, and built for performance out of the box. Whether you're building the next mobile hit or a new networked multiplayer console experience, Unity Physics leverages the Burst compiler and Job system to scale across a range of hardware.
DOTS, the Burst compiler, and Job system all mean multi-threading. Also, I have personally programmed multi-threaded physics simulations using this tech, so yes it's multi-threaded.

Just now, kithylin said:
By the way KSP1 is already multi-threaded. At least building in the VAB is. Launch physics are still single core after 7 years of development and likely never will be multi-threaded. The new game is still using unity. So no multi-threading for physics either. Today's current version of unity still yet doesn't support that either.
This is false. https://unity.com/unity/physics

"Initial release June 8, 2005; 14 years ago"
First page on the forums here, KSP2 will be using Unity.
And one line below the text you quoted - "Stable release: August 14, 2019; 4 days ago"
I work in Unity literally every day, so I can say with good authority that it will not hold back KSP 2.
2 minutes ago, Waz said:KSP isn't a thousands-of-similar-objects game, so ECS wouldn't add much.
Yes it is? Ships are made of many (thousands of) parts, each of which is simulated individually in the physics engine. ECS/DOTS enables multi-threaded physics, which would drastically help the performance of the game.

Also KSP2 will be using the same tired, 6+ year old Unity engine that KSP1 uses. So expect 6-7 year old graphics for the new game and there's no possible way the cinematic trailer will be anything close to in-game graphics.
No offense but you have no idea what you're talking about

@SQUAD I'm still processing all of this, however if there is one thing I would ask for (even though I know you aren't making KSP 2, but you talk to Star Theory apparently), is that KSP 2 be available to play without an internet connection. That is one thing that has ruined a lot of games for me. I travel a lot, and when I bring my gaming laptop with me, KSP is one of the few games I can still play without an internet connection.
In the meantime, I look forward to continuing playing KSP 1.8 and beyond. I salute you.
One of my favorite features of KSP is that it is DRM-free. I really hope KSP2 is as well.
-
Technical question: is KSP2 developed with the legacy GameObject Unity architecture, or with ECS/Jobs?

Can someone share a screenshot of the UI for choosing your suit color?

New release is up.
Looks absolutely wonderful! I can't wait to play with it.
The changelog says you removed godrays. Is there any chance they'll come back? Godrays are one of my favourite effects in scatterer.

Best of luck, friend.

How did you get footprints?? I have wanted these (along with rover tracks) since I started playing!
-
Something I've wanted in KSP since I started playing it is the option for map view to displayed on a separate monitor from ship view, rather than having to toggle between them. Unity 2017 has a really nice feature for this, Camera.targetDisplay. Is such a feature on the table?
-
Are there any issues running this on 1.4.3?

I enjoyed this technical deep dive and I want to see more stuff like it!
