    Best Up to date Planet packs

    in KSP1 Mods Discussions

    Posted

    I believe many, if not all of the planet packs are Kopernicus dependant. So planet pack developers have to wait for Kopernicus to update when a new KSP release comes out.

    That said, I am running KSP 1.8 and love Outer Planets Mod (OPM) and Minor Planets Expansion.  The two together finish out the Kerbol system with a full family of gas giants and several dwarf planets, asteroids and at least one comet to visit.

    I like these because they provide many more worlds to explore and are not too memory excessive.

    Enjoy the journey.

    Hello @Sky Whale

    Please note that the unit refereed is not meters (m).

    Speed-of-light = 299,792.458 km/s

     

    I thought speed of light was 299,792,458 meters per second

    or 299,792.5 kilometers per second

    or 182,282 miles per second?

    Given ratio of miles to kilometers, the above seems right.

     

    Burned out on KSP

    Change your style of play.

    When I got burn out a couple of years ago, I changed my SOP to building rockets and planes with an eye towards hyper efficiency in terms of part count and cost.  I also challenged myself to reduce my mod dependency.  I went from 40+ mods to less than half as many.

    It' amazing how the creative challenge sparked my desire to play again.

    Have fun.

    Rovers on other planets/moons

    spelling, duh!

    Solar panels still work on Duna.

    Check out Wild Blue Industries mod for some cool rovers with built in rooftop solar panels.

    I prefer skycranes because they provide better control for a precise landing.

    Have fun and let us know about your future adventures.

    Is MechJeb hate still a thing?

    Of course! Its KSP, always been like that. Why would anyone care how anyone else plays this lovely game??

    In KSP, everything goes. Modify config files, play only in hack gravity, build boats exclusively, modify the planets... whatever you want. You might even share everything you come up with here on the forum and nobody will give you hard time. Its a single player sandbox game and we are all aware of this.

     

    As for MechJeb, personally I appreciate all the information it gives you, but I never used any kind of autopiloting whatsoever. These days I sometimes settle for KER on some installs, does the exact same thing as far as I am concerned. Tend to choose whichever one has less performance impact on that KSP version.

    Exactly how I feel.

    I modify configs all the time.  I change parts to suit my needs.

    I'm having a blast as I explore the Kerbol system.

    And lastly, I love MechJeb.

    I looked into this one. While I think it’s be great to have, I went with Stockalike Station Parts. I’m trying desperately to find a balance between keeping a fun game while also not killing my poor 6 year old laptop... so alas, I went with that! 

     

    Also, thanks to all you guys for responding! I’m always so impressed with how cordial and helpful everyone is on this forum.

    You might want to try a mod called Janitor's Closet.  It let's you selectively prune parts to save memory.  I have an old laptop as well and pruning parts and deleting unnecessary files saves a lot of memory, speeds up loading and reduces lag.

    Have fun.

    Because a few bugs on 1.4.4 are so nasty that we prefer to live with the old ones. People using KK and Kopernicus know what I mean.

    I run Kopernicus so 1.4.4 was a no fly zone.

    I finally crossed over to the dark side and upgraded to 1.4.3.

    Chose that version because all my mods have either upgraded to that version or are stable in it.

    Played around with it a bit yesterday and all seems to be well.

    Happy flying everyone.
