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)

Well, the one of the sigmabinary barycenters don't work, but I think that one's just a programming issue.

I think we should take this to the KDS thread...

For SCIENCE!

YEEEEAH!!!!

Okay, no prob

Nice  Maybe I'll do one moon with oceans like Titan and thick atm, and another with lots of ice, and a thin atm.

Also, i ran out of likes

Also, is KDS dead? Nothing's been posted since August 19th except for me asking this same question.

I just responded 

Yeah, I just saw it!

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...

Oh...

Ur smarrt arnt u?

Anyways, since I have several weeks with nothing to do, I think I should make a YouTube channel with the first video being a Kittopia Tech tutorial. It really sucks that nobody has bothered to do a planet-making tutorial since Planet Factory. I mean, c'mon guys! PF:CE is two years outdated and not NEARLY as good as Kopernicus and Kittopia!

ikr

Seriously though, that's a very good idea. I've seen only a few tutorials for PF:CE, and that's it. No Kopernicus, no Kittopia (Obviously since this version of it is a revival. I know because I found the original, and it said it was dead).

Ok, thanks!

Oh, and can you figure out the latitude/longitude of the middle of that island?

Nope, sorry. Best option would be to load it in-game with Hyperedit installed, fly there, and go to the 'ship lander', where you can then obtain the coordinates of the craft and thus the land directly underneath the craft.

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.

*shrugs* I don't know, maybe just a hiatus.

Ok, well apparently the reason is that he is in the process of moving. :/

I'm proud to say it: 

I LOVE DRES! 

plz don't kill me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down! You already have the Antares and 2KAS-J0523 systems, and now you want to make a fleeping GALAXY?!

I like the idea, and I wouldn't mind helping you out with the project, but both of us already have mods we're currently working on. Just saying.

Yeah, it's just an idea as of now. But I do intend to eventually make this into a real life mod.

When you download Kittopia, start the game, and enter the tracking station, open it with (Ctrl+P). Then, select the body you want to edit with the list you get from the button at the top of the Kittopia window. To export textures, go to Scaled Space Editor, scroll down, and click "Update Textures." Edit your PQS Mods inside the PQS Mod editor. Select your mod, change values, and save your changes with "Rebuild PQSMod." 

Those are the essentials. PM me if you need extra help

Also, are you a fan of exoplanets like GJ 1214b? (just wondering because of your background picture)

Yes, I love the idea of water planets. That's where I got the idea of Coaster from the Antares mod. (Though GJ 1214b isn't my favorite exoplanet, J1407b is.)

It's weird how my first ever mod is so popular.

I just thought "Hmm... Since there are no Red Giant mods, I'll make one!".

And then it started to explode.

Click on the arrow next to your username at the top of the screen. A bunch of options should show up, including "Account Settings." Go to that. You will see four "tabs" on the left side of account settings, and one of them is for signatures. Click on it, and make your signature.

Thanks!

Moving.

If I'm gone for 2 days or more, I'm either camping, moving, grounded, or just can't go on the computer.

Oh.

It turns out that Galacticvoyager is moving too.

SO MANY PEEPLE R MOOVING!

Is Kopernicus already out for 1.2? 

Haven't checked yet.

Maybe you could put aliens in it who destabilize Jool, and slingshot Kerbin out of the Kerbol system, and the Kerbals have to make a generation ship to go to another solar system.

Or maybe their space exploration tech isn't good enough and you could write the psychological stress of dying, from like the POV from Val, Jeb, Bill, and Bob. (Although that would be pretty dark)

Or you could write about how they try to build a ship that could create a colony on one of the planets around Kerbol (No aliens, no unstable Jool's, just Kerbin suddenly becoming rogue).

It's your story in the end, so you could take some points from these, and turn it into your own, when you do, run with it

Here's the story (Only Prologue and Chapter 1 for now): 

Do you like it?

....

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)

Jar jar's!

Why thank you, sir!

Yes... you are

Yeah

Hello there

hello

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!

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

Noice, which one?

a certain bad one that had a red giant
