After around a year of development, I feel that it is finally time to open a Dev thread! Boundless aims to be a mostly realistic, expansive, and detailed interstellar planet pack. This is my first (of hopefully many) planet packs that I'm going to be releasing, and I've learned a lot during the development of this pack. Development started wayyy back in February 2023, and has been steadily undergoing since. The home system includes 8 planets, ranging from the scorched Koron to the far-off ice giant Oura. The homeworld is the 3rd planet from the Asterai-Mikra binary, being more massive and larger than Kerbin, and hosting thin rings and 4 moons. A major point in this pack is focusing on all types of bodies, ranging from binaries to dwarf planets, which I find very little in other packs. There will be a total of 6 dwarf bodies in the home system, and some will even have moons. These will range from small asteroids to mun-sized icy bodies. The system in total will have 41 bodies. I will not be releasing any of the interstellar systems as of 0.1, only the main system. See below for details. A bit of clarification in regards to the soon-to-be 0.1 release: What will be in 0.1: - Most major bodies/moons in the Asterai (home) syste, - Full EVE/Scatterer support (no volumetrics atm) What will NOT be in 0.1 Parallax support (1.0/2.0) Volumetric support Interstellar destinations (I promise I wont do an intercept games with this, lol) Biome maps for all bodies Science Defs (In need of creative writers) Future plans 12+ total systems, 3 of which will be detailed to the level of the main system Homeswitch Full parallax 2.0 support Volumetric support Lore (?) Full list of bodies in 0.1 (And some plans for 0.2/0.11) Images (Spoilered in case you want to go in blind upon release!) p.s. We have a discord! https://discord.gg/pA5eFFhSyA

Hello everyone! Today, I decided to give back to the community, in the form of a new mod! This mod will feature Therma, a new planet. It's basically a modified Kerbin, yes, but it's just a start. In the future, I might turn this into a planet pack, when I actually get some experience. Therma: Is a new planet. Is slightly warmer than Kerbin, but still comfortable. Has liquid water oceans. Has a breathable atmosphere, containing oxygen. Is basically a modified Kerbin. Has lower gravity than Kerbin, low enough for jetpacks to work effectively. The atmosphere is slightly smaller, but denser too. Is not a mix of Duna, Laythe, and Kerbin. Is between Duna and Kerbin. Has rings (in the future) Will have multiple moons, soon™. Is Eve's worse nightmare. Is also the name of this mod. Doesn't exist yet. Since the community seems to be very supportive of mods, I decided to go here. I am only starting to develop Therma, any new updates will go here. I don't have much experience in making mods (this is my first real one!), so, I need your help! Tips and tricks here will also be appreciated. UPDATE 1: Concept art:
