Threads of the Month: April 2023 Edition Kcalbeloh System is a planet pack adding an entirely new black hole system with 30 unique celestial bodies, including a super-massive black hole, 4 stars, 15 planets, and 10 moons and asteroids, each with its own unique set of challenges and features. This planet mod provides a diverse range of environments for Kerbals to explore, such as a planet with surface torn apart by tidal force, binary gas giants with multiple moons, a planet tidally locked by its parent star, and a small moon with a twisted surface. Like the movie Interstellar, there are also a pair of wormholes available for Kerbals to jump between Kerbol system and Kcalbeloh system, adding another layer of exploration and excitement. If you're looking for an exciting and rewarding space adventure, Kcalbeloh System is an excellent addition to Kerbal Space Program, providing tens or even hundreds of hours of entertainment. I really appreciate everyone who has followed this mod. Also thanks to everyone who has provided suggestions, bug reports, or any other forms of help. Also, if you have a cool idea and want to contribute to this project, feel free to let me know. Get ready to blast off into the cosmos and embark on a thrilling journey through the Kcalbeloh System.

What is More Real Exoplanets? More Real Exoplanets (MREx) is a series of mods that add confirmed exoplanets to KSP. Similar to Andi's Real Exoplanets (REx), MREx puts each star at their correct right ascension and declination, albeit with their distance from the Sun shortened to avoid game-breaking bugs caused by large distances. Each planet is based on their real-life properties with some artistic liberty. Series 1 adds two star systems, Kepler-186 (with Space Dust configs) and CoRoT-7. Series 2 adds two star systems, K2-18 and Luyten's Star. Each series will add two new star systems.

Hello Kerbonaut! Have you ever thought of Dres to be.. Boring? No matter how many times you go sightseeing the canyon, you still fall asleep from boredom? Well, you stumbled into the right place! Here at Nova Aerospace, we've taken note of this issue, and after years of collecting Dres-teroids for this project, we are happy to begin the Better Dres series with a Dres ring. Introducing Part one of the Better Dres series: Dres Ring! This mod adds two individual rings around Dres, one very light and dim, close to the surface, and one way thicker, farther away from the surface. In the rings, you can see stripes of cyan, green, blue, and purple, because we thought that grey was just a little bit too boring and decided to sprinkle in some magic asteroids too. (Disclaimer, asteroid spawning rates stay the same for now.) Pictures: (No visual mods other than this one) Tracking station view: Please note that this is my first ever mod. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Souptime for explaining this to me and helping me pull this off. Also VAOS, because this was kind of boring, and his stream entertained me Download: [snip] [snip] Dependencies: Kopernicus (and thus all of it's dependencies aswell)

Hey, electricpants here. It's been a while. This has been a personal project of mine for a little over 4 years now, as I first started making this star back in December of 2019. It's been a long journey, and I've changed a lot since I started. I've been working on this on and off, and the project has kinda been in development hell, having gone through many different iterations before I landed on the system layout I liked best, which is this current one. The mod is still heavily in-development, and I don't know if I'll ever truly finish it, but I really just want to finally get this system out there, so that people can play (and hopefully enjoy) it for themselves. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- You start the game in a highly-compact system orbiting a very cold star. Do note that despite its unusually low temperature and mass, Cherra IS a star, and not a brown dwarf, which is thanks to its high metallicity, providing just enough insulation to keep the core hot enough for hydrogen fusion. Though the planets all look easily accessible, it's harder than you think to navigate Cherra's system, as it takes a LOT of delta-V to get anywhere with pure rocket power. Gravity assists will be your friend here, though you may have to chain many of them together, as they aren't as powerful in this system. Everything moves so fast, it's hard to get something to change your trajectory much! Additionally, spheres of influence are very small in this system, so lots of orbital adjustments may be needed to get everything just right. Some basic descriptions + pictures of the main bodies (spoilers ahead!) CHERRA (Parsec B): PEPSOL (Parsec Bd): DESKEN (Parsec Be): THORBIN (Parsec Bc): ASOOL (Parsec Bb): PARSEC (Parsec Aa) + ARCSEC (Parsec Ab): EXTRA PICTURES!: -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- And there it is! Those little blurbs only covered the central stars and Cherra's 4 main planets, but there's plenty of other stuff to find too, I'm just leaving it up to the player to discover themselves. I know this isn't much, and in comparison to a lot of other planet mods out nowadays, it's not too great visually, but I still hope this is enjoyable to those who choose to play this mod! Do note that, due to me having to use post spawn orbit for Desken, there are unavoidable glitches with the KSC screen in-game. Don't worry, these are purely visual bugs, and do not carry over to flight view or map view. Also, I'm putting this project out under a CC BY-NC-ND license. You can copy and distribute this wherever you want, but only in an unchanged form and for non-commercial purposes. Also, I forgot to say, but Kopernicus Expansion is a dependency for this mod. Download it here. I hope you all have a good day. Download the WIP here!

Precursors Version: 1.7.1 - ODYSSEY UPDATE OVERVIEW The discovery of mysterious SSTV signals originating from Duna was a monumental leap in the search for intelligent life. Deciphering these signals revealed The Ignotum System, a previously undiscovered solar system 3 light years from Kerbin. Having recently mastered interstellar travel and hibernation technologies, the Kerbals were quick to launch an expedition to this new system. The trip ran smoothly, but upon arrival... … Alone among the stars, you are the future of the expedition. Rediscover ancient rocketry and flight technologies as you explore a vast, handcrafted solar system. Uncover the secrets behind the SSTV signals and the alien race that created them. Precursors is a planet pack designed to provide a fresh and exciting experience to players. Stranded on a cold and barren world, traverse highly detailed celestial bodies and never-before-seen environments. Each planet and moon has a distinct challenge and appearance; hike across scalding volcanic mountains, maneuver through massive forests, and battle against relentless gravity on your journey across the Ignotum System. Collect custom science reports and unearth extensive lore in this continuation of the Kerbal Space Program story. Contents Over 20 highly detailed celestial bodies to explore 1,000+ custom science reports across all bodies Fleshed-out biomes on all celestial bodies Intricate lore and story components Custom flags, loading screens, and more Easter eggs galore!

Screenshots JNSQ Of the French phrase "Je Ne Sais Quoi," meaning "Something (such as an appealing quality) that cannot be adequately described or expressed," JNSQ seeks to be a finely crafted and freshly challenging planet pack. "Galileo's Planet Pack (GPP)" as many have come to know, has broken many conventions and raised the bar very high for high-quality, challenging, career-friendly, and long-term thrilling planet packs. But now it is regarded as only a stepping stone next to this. Everything that Team Galileo has done for and learned from GPP, has been or is being put into practice here. Unlike GPP, JNSQ does not remove the stock planets but rather, does reimagine and reinvent them, destroying what you think you know about some of them, and answering the KSP community's cry for a true stock planet visual overhaul and the cry for the planets to be larger. JNSQ also fills out the local planetary system, providing several all new worlds to discover, with a total body count of 31, the amount in GPP. Logic Many KSP modders have considered that while the stock parts (namely, engines) are overpowered for stock scale, they are tuned just right for 2.5x scale. With this in mind, JNSQ is built in natively "1/4 real-life scale" (about 2.7x stock scale) which is modestly larger than 2.5x. Because of this change in scale, the length of the Kerbin day is now 12 hours. Notes Sigma Dimensions and Rescale! are not required for JNSQ to function, and are discouraged from use alongside JNSQ. When starting new saves under JNSQ, we advise that you enter Difficulty Settings and raise the DSN modifier to 4x. JNSQ applies a patch to increase antenna range by 4x, so leave the range modifier at 1 (changing it triggers a bug that may prevent science transmission). The Making History LV-TX87 and LV-T91 engines have had their thrust, mass and cost increased 25% and 20% respectively. This change was deemed necessary to assure they can lift a Mk2 command pod and service module to low orbit at JNSQ's larger scale. JNSQ retains the stockalike Kerbin-Mun-Minmus system to conform to game elements outside or our control, such as the built-in contract system. Be advised, however, this configuration is unstable. For users of the mod Principia, the orbit of Minmus is moved inside that of Mun to provide orbital stability. JNSQ raises the SCANsat scan altitudes by 3x in order to allow reasonable scan speeds at 2.7x scale, and viable scan work at all but the smallest bodies. JNSQ provides at least 14 facilities powered by Kerbal Konstructs and requires Omega's Stockalike Stuctures. Most of these facilities have gameplay features within them for making use of spare kerbals, launching and refueling ships, farming funds or science, expanding DSN coverage, recovering for funds in career. Most of these facilities are hidden by default and must be found. 9 of these are airports. 2 of these directly replace the MH launch sites (Woomera2 for Woomerang, and Darude for Dessert). 2 of these are mountain-top observatories with science farming and full DSN capabilities. Disclaimer / Barrier to Entry ⚠️ The target audience for JNSQ is the same as, if not narrower, than that of GPP. This mod is made not for the player-base at large, but for seasoned players: who greatly respect rocketry, realism and physics; who do not hold much regard for maintaining "stockalike" and "stock scale;" who are willing and able to mod their way to a great or greater game and who are able to troubleshoot a damaged install for themselves and help us to help them. JNSQ introduces and bundles a new utility mod that depends on the Community Resource Pack and makes Ore even more scarce and challenging than GPP does. This mod is appropriately called Rational Resources, whose purpose is to purge the random resource configurations generated by CRP, grant increased compatibility between planet packs and mods that use certain resources, and encourage the use of mods that use advanced resources. Compatibility for mods that expect the stock planets with default topology, biomes, order or radii is not to be expected and will not be provided by us. JNSQ is not recommended for use with other planet packs. Questions regarding other planet pack compatibility will be ignored. Provided Compatibility Distant Object Enhancement Environmental Visual Enhancements Kerbal Health Kerbal Konstructs: We roll our own extra launch sites Kerbalism Kopernicus Expansion: Footprints MechJeb Planetshine Rational Resources ResearchBodies Scatterer (very specifically 0.05x or newer, for KSP 1.6.1 or newer) Skybox via Sigma Replacements, DiRT, TextureReplacer Strategia Waypoint Manager Requirements Kopernicus (latest version for your specific version of KSP, or latest backport release for older KSP versions) ModuleManager 4 or newer Minimum Hardware: 3 GHz quad-core CPU, 16GB of system RAM and 2GB of video memory Recommended Mods Parts Eve Optimized Engines. An engine pack tailored for Eve ascent vehicles. JX2 Antenna, late-game antennae made to reduce the need to spam RA-15 and RA-100 and preclude the need to install Custom Barn Kit. Utilities Antenna Helper adequately and easily shows the power and ranges of combined antenna in VAB, flight and the Tracking Station. Better SRBs: Although a small engine pack, it is primarily a utility. This mod adds very much needed behavior and appropriate rebalances to SRBs in stock and in a handful of popular large parts packs. CommNet Antennas Info expands the panel info for antennae in the VAB. Kerbal Alarm Clock now works with Kronometer; lets you easily mark the times for maneuvers and encounters in many flights. SCANsat: A tiny mod that adds a few parts but is critical to an exploration or ISRU game. Highly recommended for discovering anomalies including most of JNSQ's KK facilities and identifying atypical resource placements by Rational Resources. Sigma Replacements: A suite of tiny Sigma mods for changing things such as the main menu scene, kerbal suits, and the skybox.

Added one biome each to Dres and Edna. Added Optional Mods: JNSQ_Rescale for 1x and 10x versions of JNSQ. Changed Eeloo's rotational period to 8 hours. Changed game start time to 6:00 UT--sunrise at KSC (requires Kronometer). Converted celestial body icons to .png (thanks to @yalov cn GitHub). This fixes issues with Strategia and Waypoint Manager. Fixed Bop's rotation to retrograde for Principia users. Included RemoteTech in antenna range multiplier (thanks to @armegeddon cn GitHub). Included part upgrades in antenna range multiplier (thanks to @jsolson cn GitHub). Revised atmospheres (surface pressure unchanged, heights may be different). Revised CelestialBodies.pdf (atmosphere changes). Revised flying altitude thresholds. Revised NavBall switch radius multipliers. Revised asteroids so that they better populate the desired fields. Reduced Minmus' science values for Principia users. Reduced SCANsat altitude multipliers from 3x to 1.5x. Removed KerbalHealth config. KerbalHealth has chosen to host all JNSQ configs in itself. Removed Kronometer from JNSQ (must now be downloaded and installed separately). Removed MyRocksAreBiggerThanYours plugin (now part of Kopernicus). Removed Rational Resources bundle. Updated TweakChutes to hopefully properly respond to FAR/RealChute. Updated KK: Added three more space centers. (Hidden) Added runway section to S. Musgrave. Added barracks to all bases that were missing them, including observatories. Buffed barracks capacities at astronaut complexes. Fixed duplicate launch site names for helipads and rovers. Fixed orientation or offset of some bases. Fixed west vs east runways. This update includes many important updates, bug fixes, and improvements. This update is certified to work only with KSP 1.12.1 or newer. It may work with older KSP versions, though it has not been tested and support will not be provided. Atmospheres have been redone to provide conformity across all Team Galileo products. This update adds an extra 1/2 rotation to Kerbin's initial rotation. This could break existing geostationary satellites if they are strategically placed over specific landmarks. This change can be reverted by deleting the file JNSQ_Configs/OffsetTime.cfg. Adding JNSQ_Rescale to an existing save is not recommended. DOWNLOAD Please consider becoming a Patron and help us continue to create awesome content for our favorite game!

VertexHeightOblateAdvanced VertexHeightOblateAdvanced is a custom PQS Mod intended for use by planet modders to enable easy creation of oblate bodies via a simple PQS Mod, rather than via a heightmap. Additionally, when in the SOI of a body implmenting VertexHeightOblateAdvanced, two new camera modes will be added to the camera rotation after FREE mode to better support non-spherical bodies. Planet pack developers implementing VertexHeightOblateAdvanced are encouraged to bundle it with their mod, for the convenience of users. Examples PointEqupotential UniformEquipotential Low UniformEquipotential Low UniformEquipotential High UniformEquipotential High Download Github SpaceDock Installation and Use Install ALL listed dependencies, following the links below Download and extract the VertexHeightOblateAdvanced zip file Place the GameData folder into your KSP directory Once installed, simply add a VertexHeightOblateAdvanced node to the Mods node in your body's PQS node Using the following Google Sheet, find appropriate periods for your body to get the desired oblateness, based on body surface gravity and radius. Camera modes: SURFACE NORMAL Functions like FREE camera mode, but with the vertical axis aligned perpendicular to the shape defined by the VertexHeightOblateAdvanced instance. This eliminates the "uphill effect" that oblate bodies have. Lerps to FREE camera mode when greater than 10% of the body radius above the maximum oblate height. GRAVITY NORMAL Functions like FREE camera mode, but with the vertical axis aligned with the local apparent gravity vector, taking into account the effects of rotation. Surfaces that look flat and level are actually flat and level relative to gravity. Lerps to FREE camera mode when greater than 10% of the body radius above the maximum oblate height.

What is this? The sequel to the planet pack Low light levels Red. The pack adds in two binary stars and 11 planets and moons. Bodies: Rubo: A white dwarf that was once a mighty star like Kerbol. Loth: A fiery world with oceans of lava that are slowly cooling in the dim light of Rubo. Ufgo: A tidal locked desert with old dried up oceans and ice on the farside. Crof: A small world even more forgotten than Dres. It has a cratered cold surface. Giza: The biggest gas giant in the system, but still small. Most of its mass got lost in the past. Micry: The only moon still orbiting Giza. It has a cratered dead surface. Zec: A gas giant with strong winds and two very clear bands. Thesi: First moon of Zec, it has a thick atmosphere and small oceans of liquid methane. Pece: An extraordinary asteroid, it is in a binary dance with its partner Poco. Poco: The other asteroid roughly the same as Pece, also orbiting the barycenter. Wilco: One of the most mighty objects in the universe, with the size of the KSC and the name of a scientist his dog. Ria: A cold icy world with a beautiful view of Wilco. Qen: A small asteroid orbiting at big distance from Wilco.

Rational Resources is designed to operate on the Community Resource Pack or the WBI Classic Stock resources and to strip out the entirely random resource distributions and to apply distribution templates (carefully configured groups of resource distributions) according to the logically expected class and composition of a body. Rational Resources is inspired by Realistic Atmospheres made by @OhioBob and is part of the JNSQ (the planet pack) experience. While this mod is installed, un-configured bodies will have no resources at all (except for less Ore than by default). This mod may inflate your ModuleManager cache quite a bit. Notice that the logo image tells the following: Mun has a sizeable portion of MetalOre and Oxygen, but no Water (will be handled by biome specific config) and no Uraninite. Kerbin has a sizeable portion of Rock and Silicates, and there's a display for crust, ocean and atmo. Duna has a sizeable portion of CO2 in crust and atmo (not in legend), MetalOre, RareMetals and Uraninite, but no Minerals or Silicates. This mod enables planet makers to easily assign these distribution templates to their planet packs and skip the headaches of figuring out and writing the individual nodes themselves, and assorting all of their writings into several per-resource config files. Active CRP Resources Surface and Atmosphere Ammonia, CarbonDioxide, ExoticMinerals, Gypsum, LqdHe3, Hydrates, Hydrogen, MetalOre, MetallicOre, Methane, Minerals, Nitrogen, Ore, Oxygen, RareMetals, Rock, Silicates, Substrate, Uraninite, Water. Ocean Carbon, ExoticMinerals, Gypsum, LqdAmmonia, LqdCO2, LqdMethane, LqdNitrogen, LqdOxygen, MetalOre, MetallicOre, Minerals, RareMetals, Rock, Water. Star Ammonia, Antimatter, Carbon Dioxide, LqdHe3, Hydrogen, LqdDeuterium, Methane, Nitrogen, Oxygen, XenonGas. The resources above are preferred and used. are patched to display them all. Ocean resources only show non-zero values when the scanner vehicle is splashed. The Star series templates apply resource bands to a narrow and general classification of stars, automatically making them all viable as mining destinations for interstellar vessels. The expected members of this seres are: Yellow; Red Dwarf; Red Giant; Blue Giant. Due to a very nasty bug in stock, any resource bands around a star can only have a a maximum span of somewhere under 2 Gigameters. WBI Classic Stock system support: Rational Resources shows in the WBI play mode switch UI. (Picture needs to be updated) Assigning a template to a planet is as easy as: Current templates ISRU With omnipotent Ore being stripped of its Godhood, the following ISRU chains are proposed and encouraged for use by seasoned modders. Ore abundance is capped to 5% and its presence chance to 80%. It will be inconvenient for most players... but it will still be around. Ore tanks will be changed, at least, to hold the cryogenic input resources. Players may find themselves forced towards using Hydrolox rocketry since the required resources (Ore or Carbon Dioxide) for LiquidFuel may often be scarce meanwhile the requirements for Hydrolox (Hydrates, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Water) can be quite abundant. Metals* = Can be the Metal and MetalOre resources used by Extraplanetary Launchpads (EL), Metals and MetallicOre used by USI, or Aluminium. Sorry, it can be a bit of a mess here. Oxidizer options do not appear when RealFuels is present. Compatibility Due to the listed resources and the nature of Rational Resources, compatibility instantly extends between configured planet packs and the following mods: Kerbalism (consumable resources only) TAC Life Support Near Future Tech suite Hydrolox rocketry mods (including BlueDog Design Bureau, Cryogenic Engines, Kerbal Atomics) Potential Methalox rocketry mods Some resources and their distributions are conditionally spared while the rest are removed. Spared resources include ArgonGas, XenonGas, but not Karbonite and Karborundum. Purged resources include Dirt (used by MKS alone but supplanted with more Rock) and any other mod that adds resources (and especially extremely handwaved ones) such as The Gold Standard. But a provision exists to allow such resources to not be purged.

What is it? A Planet Jam is like a Game Jam but with Kopernicus. Anybody is allowed to participate in the Planet Jam, but a basic understanding of planet modding is expected. Every two weeks, a Planet Jam Challenge will be released on the KSP Forums alongside specific rules and other information. Competitors must craft the best celestial body possible for the challenge and submit it for judging. The score each submission will receive depends on Whether it suits the challenge Whether it abides by the rules, both general and Challenge specific Points awarded based on originality, appearance, and production techniques Following each challenge submission deadline, four elected judges from the KSP Forums (including myself as the host/moderator) will grade the submissions and select four award winners. Winners may choose to have their celestial bodies implemented into an official Planet Jam Mod, which will showcase all previous winners' submissions. Because the Planet Jam is in its early stages, please feel free to ask questions or give suggestions on how to improve the competition experience!

QuackPack QuackPack is intended to fill out an often neglected portion of the Kerbolar system: the deep inner system, far below the orbit of Moho. Oftentimes, when a player has conquered the stock system, it may feel like the only way to access more challenging destinations is to install full system replacers, or interstellar mods. System expansions such as Outer Planets Mod are a very popular first step, bridging the challenge gap between the stock system and full blown interstellar packs. QuackPack is designed to add an additional level of challenge to a stock + OPM install. Instead of looking outwards towards other stars, it is time to look inwards towards our own. These planets are not for the faint of heart. Transfer requirements are extreme, and their gravity wells are deep. Gravity assists are a near requirement. Failure lurks around every corner, as the unique thermal environments can cause unexpected problems, or outright destroy craft. Aerodynamics will work in unusual ways, as the superheated atmospheres are very different from anything else in the Kerbolar system. However, with smart design, clever planning, and skill, these bodies can be conquered, even fully reusable, or, theoretically, with single stage craft. Bodies Blas, a metal poor, scorching hot desert Superkerbin with a large ring system and one small moonlet. Geet, the lone moon of Blas, and a shepherd to the ring system. Jot, an inflated hot Jool with an extremely large atmosphere. Subon, a captured metallic asteroid in a close retrograde orbit of Jot. Cind, a Kerbin sized tidally locked hellworld, with an atmosphere made of sulfur and boiling metal. Features 5 challenging new bodies to explore. Science and career mode ready, with full biome and experiment definitions. Full scatterer integration. Full EVE integration, with clouds, sandstorms, lightning, aurorae, and thermal glow. Planetshine and Distant Object Enhancement integration. Notes This is my first planet mod, pls be gentle.

Does QuackPack support Parallax 2? A. QuackPack does not currently provide configs for Parallax 2, but it will run alongside Parallax 2 enabled planets from the stock system or other planet mods Q. Will QuackPack ever support Parallax 2? A. QuackPack is intended to support Parallax 2 at some point, when I have the time to sit down and learn it. Q. Does QuackPack support EVE True Volumetrics? A. EVE True Volumetrics support will come in a future update. Q. Does QuackPack support rescaling via Sigma Dimensions? A. Not at the moment, also something to consider for a future update.

**Images are broken** Welcome to Lazarus: Awakenings. The depths of the mind. Lazarus is a brand new planet pack created over the course of a year and a half. Awakenings, the first installation, consists of a system replacer and various interstellar destinations. A port to KSP 2 is possible but will not come until KSP2 is out of the earlier stages of early access. Storyline removed (click)

This mod adds 100 celestial bodies in a cluster orbiting far from the Sun while preserving the stock system. Designed for modded late game exploration, colonisation and other wackiness. Ever since the Kerbalkind learned how to properly look at the night sky, a bright blue light accompanied by a few flickering spots among the stars had always intrigued them. Throughout history, this realm in the deep sky has been associated with mythologies, the Kraken, the multiverse and snacks. As time passed, they realise that the greatest treasure the universe have to offer is right in their backyard - a neighboring cluster centered around a blue star with multiple yellow and red dwarfs guarding the outer reaches of the system. The more they looked, the more astonishing this system becomes: habitable worlds appeared one by one, documentations of ring systems became more and more detailed, the resolutions of images got higher and higher, and even a brand new protostar had been found. However, questions and mysteries started to pop up among the excitement: an abnormally high amount of friendly worlds near the quaternary red dwarf system, an unyielding planetary nebula around a main sequence star, the capture of some allegedly artificial signals, and an exotic stellar remnant with unknown composition. Nevertheless, this cluster remained silent but inviting, and space programs all over Kerbin began missions toward the stars. After countless missions to Jool, the spirit of the Kerbalkind was ignited once again to venture into The World Beyond, and this system is aptly named The Dawn Cluster. One day, all the boundaries will fall. Star map TWB does not replace the stock system and no changes has been made to it. Star emblems Inner Dawn System Dawn - An A3V class blue star, the center of the cluster that every planet and star orbits. It is quite a lot more massive and a lot brighter than Kerbol. The space near it harbors a large amount of planets. Oblivion System Oblivion - A new protostar orbiting Dawn from a distance with a big accretion disk (which is basically a colossal ring system) and plenty of asteroids. Despite it's unstable system, a few planets have already formed around it. Traverse System Traverse - A M1V orangish red dwarf shrouded by a immense nebula, it orbits roughly in the middle point of Dawn's SOI and holds up a Quadruple system with an very large amount of densely packed habitable worlds. Fragment - A very small M9V red dwarf orbiting Traverse in close binary. Due to it's size it has little effect on the overall structure of the system. Ascension System Ascension - A small M5V red dwarf orbiting Traverse from afar, shining a second dim light onto Traverse’s worlds, and also hosts some planets itself. Eternal - A tiny M8V red dwarf orbiting Ascension in binary Wall System Wall - A dim T4 class brown dwarf with only one companion. Eon System Eon - An outlying G7V yellow dwarf near the edge of the SOI of Dawn Barrier - VERY FAST spinning exotic stellar remnant orbiting Eon, and one of the most mysterious objects within the vicinity of Dawn. THE WORLD BEYOND IS CURRENTLY NOT READY FOR REVIEW AS MANY ASPECTS ARE STILL BEING DEVELOPED/REFINED. PLEASE DO NOT REVIEW THIS MOD UNTIL THIS NOTICE IS REMOVED. CC 4.0 BY-NC-SA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SUPPORTED MODS The Gold Standard: TWB provides configs for the resources added in TheGoldStandard, so you can mine gold and unobtainium far from home! Community Tech Tree: installing CTT will reposition the antennas on the expanded tech tree. Community Resource Pack: TWB provides configs for ALL the resources added in CRP, so you can harvest them deep in the sky for fun and profit. Sigma LoadingScreens: shows custom loading screen images and loading screen tips if installed. Texture Replacer: you can take off your helmet and breathe in any alien world with a dense oxygen atmosphere. RECOMMENDED MODS Near future technologies: provides a large assortment of parts for your spacecrafts. USI Catalog: Orion drives and warp drives to help you travel between the stars. Poodmund's Milky Way Skybox: extremely nice looking skybox that is used in all the screenshots shown above. Interstellar Extended: for those of you who want to cover interstellar distances in a realistic way. BetterTimeWarp: to make your interstellar journeys feel slightly faster and far more bearable. ESLD Jump Beacons: an alternative method to travel between the stars. COMPATIBILITY TWB is compatible with the following planet packs: Gameslinx's Planet Overhaul (GPO) Outer Planets Mod (OPM) Galileo's Planet Pack (GPP) Grannus Expansion Pack (GEP) Extrasolar* Other_Worlds Reboot (OWR) New Horizons Before Kerbin After Kerbin Whirligig World TWB is NOT meant to played with Principia, but you can install both and see what happens *Extrasolar is known to break the scatterer sunflares in TWB. Check page 9 in this thread for a workaround. KNOWN ISSUES The resource configs in this mod could make the stock KerbNet unusable (crafts that should have KerbNet access don't). This is a problem with KSP itself, and the best solution is to use the mod SCANSat and Waypoint Manager instead, both of which provides better functionality compared to the KerbNet.

The names of celestials and biomes are most certainly not blatant references to TV/cartoon/anime/games/people/other mods and if you think they are, you are just imagining things

The year is 9302. The Mun has been impacted by a huge asteroid and Kerbin is flooded. Begin on an evolved Kerbin. Its continents have moved, its mountains and topography vary drastically. Set many millenia after the Kerbals first took to space, the general culture of former 'Kerbin' has changed drastically. Because of this change, the planet is significantly different - it's known as Gaia and all interplanetary voyages are strictly forbidden by the global government - You must convince them to fly once more. The entire planetary system has overcome a drastic change. A near miss with another star has caused many planets and moons to be captured by Kerbol. Your adventure awaits; take to the stars once more and prove that the eagerly awaiting space-faring Kerbals still have a future. This mod adds more planets and moons to land on whilst keeping the stock feel to the game. I have revisited the entire Kerbin system and added a bit more variation to the different planets and moons, making you feel the joy of exploring them once again.

Minmar Kerbin Rings 2.4.2 [1.12.x] [Kopernicus] (The screenshot below was taken using Astronomer's Visual Pack. Highly recommended!) Requires Kopernicus! DOWNLOAD HERE (Spacedock) This mod gives Kerbin rings, intended to be the remains of part of Minmus when it was captured hundreds of years ago. The mod now also moves Minmus inside the rings, tweaking science values to reduce the value of Minmus and transfer it to the Mun for balance. It even adds a new description and new science logs(With DMagic Orbital Science support), relating to Minmus' new position! I highly recommend landing on the Greater Flats. The view of Kerbin and her rings is nothing short of spectacular. PERFECT real estate for a mining base! The custom science logs additionally remove existing logs that contradict Minmus' new position- stock, DMagic, and Crowd Sourced Science. Now included are a few custom flags- based on the stock Kerbin Mun flag. This is the primary one, but two other(worse) options are available with the legacy versions included in the download. I hope people enjoy it! The original versions are still included in the download, as Classic, 'New' and Minmus Mover Alt versions- previews of which are spoilered below. Also, sorry, but I didn't bother updating the CKAN version. I just couldn't be bothered. If enough people ask for it, I will.

Oh hai. This is a basic planet pack so far that adds a Near-Kerbin binary asteroid, Doppler-Dyva, a Pallas-like two-toned potato, Quazen, and four binary Jool trojans. Basically asteroids not filled by niches such as Minor Planets Expansion. Download here on SpaceDock. This was the old picture of Doppler, once named Onor (please don't deadname it). It's a relic of my past and how I've improved. Requirements: Kopernicus ModuleManager A good computer

NO LOGS, NO SUPPORT. This solar system completely replaces the stock system. Version 1.6.6.0 Changelog Added Optional Mods: GPP_Rescale for 2.5x and 10x versions of GPP. Added extra launch sites to MechJeb2 config. Added HazardousBody to gas giants. Updated scatterer configs and fixed bugs. Updated CelestialBodies.pdf. Updated KK things to only be read when KK is installed and not when GPP_Secondary is installed. (No more KSC++ on Squad Kerbin.) Revised atmospheres (surface pressure unchanged, heights may be different). Revised rotationPeriod and/or intialRotation of many celestial bodies. Revised flying altitude thresholds. Revised NavBall switch radius multipliers. Revised Lili's fade limits to fix frame rate drop. Deleted MyRocksAreBiggerThanYours plugin (now part of Kopernicus). Deleted GPP KSPedia (doesn't work in current KSP version). Deleted unused MapDecal and FlattenArea in GPP_Secondary. Miscellaneous other fixes and updates. This update includes many important updates, bug fixes, and improvements. This does not include any of the texture or terrain changes that have been hinted about (that's still a work in progress). We're releasing these changes ahead of schedule to correspond with similar updates to JNSQ and GEP. The update is certified to work only with KSP 1.12.1 or newer. It may work with older KSP versions, though it has not been tested and support will not be provided. Atmospheres have been redone to provide conformity across all Team Galileo products. The changes to rotation periods and initial rotation may break existing geosynchronous satellite networks. Additionally, moon bases may find themselves facing a different direction - perhaps no longer with a line-of-sight to the planet. If you suspect your existing save may be damaged, then either consider not updating, or be prepared to redo, abandon, or correct the damage. Adding GPP_Rescale to an existing save is not recommended. For more information about Rescale mods, read here.

Very self-explanatory mod. It changes overall looks of Jool and adds a simple procedural wasteland beneath its clouds, making it into a new destination for your space frogs. It should run any visual packs, EVE, Scatterer, without problems, it has resources and other stuff normal Jool will get from mods. With pressure limits it will be even more interesting. --------------------------------------------------------- Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International ------------------------------------------------------ Suggested mods: Visual packs. Will add true clouds that can be seen from surface. EveEngines, ExplodiumBreathingEngines. Absolutely must have for flying there. Any mods with electric jets or propellers - RationalResources, KAX, you got it. Also, Jool remains ore-abundant with RationalResources so you won't run out of fuel If you feel need to touch it by Kopernicus patches(adding moons?), use JooI, not Jool (last letter is big "i") Have fun, report bugs! https://spacedock.info/mod/2967/JoolSurface https://github.com/hohmannson/jool_surface/releases Pics, clicks, stock EVE-less clouds. If someone doesn't like them or they a getting in the way of a visual mod, change fadestart, fadeend and deactivatealtitude to commented out values in Jool.cfg

Outer Planets Mod v2.2.10 This version of Outer Planets Mod has been built to work for KSP version 1.3.1 - 1.12.*. About The Outer Planets Mod is a mod that expands the outer edges of the Kerbol system to create something akin to the real Solar System's. It adds Kerbalized versions of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as well as several of these planets' moons. These faraway planets provide a challenge rarely encountered in Kerbal Space Program; you'll have to figure out new transfer windows, manage your power supply differently, provide your spacecraft with more Delta-V and be ready to travel years or even decades. This mod is being developed and maintain by a group of collaborators, alongside and following the initial development of the mod creator, CaptRobau. Features Explore 15 new highly detailed planets and moons, all in a stock-a-like artstyle. Discover never before seen worlds, such as a sub-satellite, Trojan moon or a set of binary bodies. Collect science in over 140 biomes, with almost a thousand unique science blurbs. Custom terrain textures and improved ground scatter has made planets and moons never look so good up close. A full set of KSPedia entries for OPM's various bodies helps you to navigate the far reaches of the Kerbol system. Includes a Level 4 Tracking Station upgrade (requires CustomBarnKit) to boost your communication range out to the furthest reaches of the system without requiring additional modded antennas. Extensive third-party mod integration means you can play OPM with a whole range of other mods. Download You can either manually download and install Outer Planets Mod via the button and installation instructions below or by installing it automatically via CKAN (first-party support of CKAN is provided and new releases should automatically be indexed by CKAN in due course). Installation Instructions Extract the GameData folder found in the downloadable .zip directly into your Kerbal Space Program install directory. If located correctly, the OPM and CTTP directories should be found at: \Kerbal Space Program\GameData\OPM & \Kerbal Space Program\GameData\CTTP Dependencies The following KSP mods must be installed prior to using Outer Planets Mod (ensure you install the correct version of the dependencies for your version of KSP): Kopernicus (depending on KSP version) Module Manager Community Terrain Texture Pack - bundled within OPM Supported Mods Custom Barn Kit Community Resource Pack Distant Object Enhancement PlanetShine Research Bodies Visual Mods By default, Outer Planets Mods does not come with any included visual pack to support EVE or Scatterer. There are a few mods that add these atmospheric visual enhancements to OPM as follows: Stock Visual Enhancements - Retextures the Gas Giants and adds atmospheric scatter and cloud support to all atmospheric bodies. Does not apply effects if Pood's OPM-VO is installed also. Pood's Outer Planets Mod - Visual Overhaul - Retextures the Gas Giants and adds atmospheric scatter and cloud support to all atmospheric bodies. Not been updated in a while so your mileage may vary.

THIS MOD IS NOT COMPLETE YET!!! I have created this thread in advance, you can follow dev updates here. Photos soon!

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

This mod is not ready for review. It is heavily work in progress and there will be visual errors, bugs, and more. Please report them to help me fix them! THANK YOU FOR JULY 2023 TOTM! Join our discord!: https://discord.gg/P69PwuJGCa Overview: The Kerbals find themselves now on The Alter Kerbin, a world visually very similar to Kerbin, but yet vastly different. I seek to create a high-quality small-set of systems, with Indepth sciencedefs that allow you to truly discover what's brought a world to be and empower the player to meet extremes they haven't before yet seen. This mod is memory-intensive. If you have less than 16gb of memory, expect some issues with frames with all visual mods like parallax installed. Thank you for taking the time to read this page, to see the newest images go to the latest page. Note about Transfer Window Planner: the D/V requirements are WILDLY inaccurate.
