Or RJ's mods

Noice, which one?

a certain bad one that had a red giant

Then SMACK

I was kinda the same with Stellaris, but after the announcement for KSP2, it makes sense now. And now I'm wondering if Stellaris should get it too in a couple years

i wanna say that stellaris probably won't get a sequel

but look how that turned out with ksp, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who knows

Do you have kopernicus?

What you want to do is add a vertex height offset to lower the terrain (the ocean will always be 0 elevation). This will make the planet slightly smaller, so if you want, you can increase the radius by the same amount you lower the terrain, but this will change the mass of the planet a bit unless you slightly lower surface gravity (since in KSP, surface gravity decreases at higher elevations).

For example: If you apply a vertex offset of 2km (lower terrain 2k), then increase kerbin's radius by 2km (which raises the ocean 2km), to have kerbin have the same mass, you need to set the surface gravity to be what it was on unmodified Kerbin at 2km high.

For my part, I wasn't worried by Duna's effective radius going from 320km to 319.25km.

Here's the file for Duna:

yeah, i do have kopernicus :p how else could i be testing the mod

thanks though, i'll try it out to see if that works!

Hello there

hello

....

Can relate. I've forgotten to update some sites for months xD

Yes... you are

Yeah

I don't think you can truly say gg until I get 1000 rep. (Which'll probably take another year, lol)

More rep-More "fame"-More likes per post

Why do you think every Vanamode's or any other popular dude getting a ton of likes even if it literally says nothing?

Its going to be quick, and unrelevant.

Likes don't matter.

True that.

You're right it does start getting addicting after the first 5 minutes.

It's addicting from the start for Americans XD

Maybe it is delayed for me because I am part Colombian...

Why thank you, sir!

Congrats!

Jar jar's!

When you have Kittopia installed, you can open it up in-game by pressing ctrl+p. There's a section called "Scaled Space Updater." In there you will find "Update Scaledversion." Click on that to load your heightmap onto the planet.

It worked! (I think, Phoenix's light is so dim I'm having a hard time trying to tell)

I know how to use Kittopia, btw.

Can you find anything I did wrong in the cfg? (I don't want to post this to the Kopernicus thread just yet, because the planet shows up as Laythe, so it's highly likely it's a mistake on my part)

Depends. You can take Kerbin's curve and scale it down, or do things the hard way.

I make an atmosphere nowadays by first coming up with a composition, and then calculating the atmosphere properties: density, molar mass, temperature (using the distance from Kerbol and the guesstimated albedo) and surface pressure. I then create a temperature curve by hand before converting it to polynomials, and then enter all that data into a spreadsheet to create a basic atmosphere model and see what would be a good altitude terminator. Then I just pick a few altitudes and log the pressure data as pressure decreases exponentially with altitude.

This method may sound awfully confusing and overcomplicated but after @OhioBob walked me through it I understand it all and will soon make a video explaining the whole process, which is actually rather straightforward once you know what to do.

Well, I have a semi-completed version 0.4 on my computer. I'll (hopefully) get back to it after finishing Trappist-1. I'm kinda in a race, if you would call it, against some other guys who are also making their own Trappist-1 recreations.

Well I'll have to download yours! (Because I can trust it to be good)
