  1. I'm pretty sure this is the right place for this... I was messing around with kopernicus, trying to get a custom planet. It will not show up in game. Planet file: Planet log: Kopernicus log: Nothing seems wrong EXCEPT if you look at the kopernicus log file you can see it finds my planet with the configuration loader, but later it doesn't. Kopernicus does work, as KSS works. The .cfg is in GameData/CustomPlanets/KopernicusFiles.
  2. Star packs with Kopernicus are becoming ever more popular, but I've noticed something. There are very little packs that include brown dwarfs. What's else is that those few brown dwarfs are too often planet-less and forgettable. So, as a way to celebrate the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 system, I've decided to create Kumar's Dwarf Stars pack. What's Kumar's Dwarf Stars? KDS is a pack that will add 6 dwarf stars around the Kerbol system, ranging from spectral types Y5V to M0V. This pack is named after astronomer Shiv S. Kumar, who first hypothesized about them in the 1960's. Each stellar and substellar object puts out a significantly less amount of light than Kerbol, and the brightest bodies only glow red-orange. None of the stars in KDS have a radius greater than 100,000 kilometers, making them less than 50% the size of Kerbol. They will all have planetary systems, but you will need some vessel lights for those around dim brown dwarfs. What Are The Celestial Bodies? Here are the celestial bodies currently in the mod: KIP-666: A brownish-purple L7V brown dwarf. With a radius of less than 13,000 km , KIP-666 is the smallest dwarf star in the mod. It has 2 rocky dwarf planets, 1 with life. Krios: A not-so-dense Super Earth located in the close habitable zone of its system. Krios is covered in blue, photosynthetic bacteria that turn all of the planet a dark blue, even the oceans! Koios: The dramatic opposite of Krios, Koios is a dead rocky planet with no life, no oceans, and no atmosphere. The terrain of this planet shows signs of past and present geological activity. 99 Korionis: A flaring M0V red dwarf in the constellation of Korion. It is the largest dwarf in the pack, with a radius of 88,659 km, a mass of 1.3% that of the Sun, and 0.65% the luminosity of Kerbol. It has 4 planets, 1 very similar to Kepler-438b. 99b: A scorching desert planet very close to 99 Korionis and slightly larger than Eeloo. It has one small moon and will have lava lakes in future updates. 99b-1: The only moon of 99b, 99b-1 is a small rocky body mainly covered in lava flows from different time periods. It has a radius of about 74 kilometers and hosts very few craters. 99c: The Kepler-438b analogue, 99c is a temperate world slightly larger than Kerbin. However, frequent flares from 99 Korionis have stripped off most of its atmosphere and boiled its oceans. However, 99c s still home to some quite hardy blue bacteria, like those on Krios. 99c-1: This moon is slightly smaller than the Mun of Kerbin, but is much more different. There are very few craters and many steep highlands and mountains that make 99c-1 a difficult place to land on. 99d: A good example of an Iron Planet, 99d has a huge iron core and a thin crust of water and carbon dioxide ices. It is very geologically active and is colored pink from cryovolcanic eruptions. 99d also has a decently thick atmosphere. There will be 2 more moons in the future. 99d-1: This moon appears to be a heavily cratered binary companion to 99d, but 99d-1 has a much smaller mass, even though it is over 55% the size of its parent. It orbits close to 99d and protects its parent planet from many comet strikes. It is part of a compact binary system with 99d. 99e: By far the largest planet around 99 Korionis, 99e has a radius comparable to a gas dwarf and is turned pink by its weird atmosphere. The air of 99e contains more than 20% methane and reacts to the flares of its parent star. 99e will have a total of 4 moons in the future. Keplar: A distant binary star system consisting of a M4V red dwarf and a Y2V brown dwarf. This system is young, only about 376 million years old. KeplarA: An M4V red dwarf and the primary member of the Keplar System. It has 3 planets and one dwarf planet. KeplarAb: An iron planet whose physical parameters are based off those of Kepler-70b. KeplarAb is covered in oceans of liquid nickel with temperatures excess of 850 degrees kelvin. There is a thin atmosphere of smog where it snows metal. KeplarAb is way hotter than it should be, due to tidal heating. KeplarAc: Is this a dwarf planet or a full planet? KeplarAc is about the size of Kerbol's dwarf planet, Dres, but has a clear orbital space. Its terrain is young, rocky, and mountainous. This lightweight world is similar to Moho in both temperature and surface color. KeplarAd: Another gas dwarf! This exoplanet is 3.88 times the size of Kerbin and is only about 30% rock. KeplarAd is slightly closer to KeplarA than the habitable zone of the system, so it doesn't look too promising. KeplarAe: Despite being young, KeplarAe already has liquid water oceans and abundant unicellular life on its surface and in its seas. It has a Laythe-like atmosphere and one young moon. KeplarAe-b [WIP]: The young moon of KeplarAe, only formed about 170 million years ago. It is a rusty colored moon covered in crisscrossing mountains and deep lowlands. It will have lava lakes in a future update. KeplarB: A very massive Y2V brown dwarf about 1.9-2.1 times the size of Jool. KeplarB is based off of the brown dwarf/Super-Jupiter J1407b with its age, mass, and large ring system. There is also one planet forming around it! KeplarBb: Kerbal scientists first considered this planet as a passing planemo, then a moon, and then an optical illusion. Fierce arguments erupted about its status as either a planet or a moon, but what everyone can agree on is that KeplarBb is BORING.

  3. What is Community Planet Enhancement? Community Planet Enhancement (CPE) is a planet modding project opened to the KSP community. It aims to remake all stock planets to make them more aesthetic and more interesting to explore, without changing any physics parameters of the stock system. Who can participate in this project? Anyone with good knowledge and skill of KSP planet modding. How can I participate? Step.1: Join the CPE discord server. Step.2: Show us your skills of planet modding. It means to make sure all team members have the ability to make good stuffs. You can show your published/WIP mod, or simply some screenshots of your work. For new modders, we encourage you to join Kopernicus server instead to learn and improve your skills. You are always welcomed after you have learned enough. Step.3: Pick (a) planet(s) you want to remake. Step.4: Announce your plan in the corresponding channel under the CELESTIAL BODIES category when you start working. Showing your progress is always encouraged. Step.5: Submit your work to moderator(s). What if I want to make a planet but someone else has already started/finished? You can either: Ask the person whether he/she is willing to work together. Go ahead and make your own version. Later the final version is chosen by voting of the judging committee. Who can be a member of the judging committee? Anyone who has submitted their work. Anyone with good planet modding skills and elected from KSP forums. Note: Judges cannot participate in voting related to their own work. What is the requirement for submission? Keeping the main features of stock planets. For example, the main color of stock planets, main biomes, Kerbin and Laythe’s land distribution, Duna’s ice caps, Dres’ valley, etc. Without changing any physics parameters of the stock system. Radius, mass, orbit, atmosphere, temperature, etc. File lists Kopernicus config (Only edit the following nods unless necessary: ScaledVersion, PQS, Ocean, Biomes) Height map Normal map Scaled-space color map PQS color map Biome map EVE config and cloud maps if needed Scatterer config if needed Other things you can make Sunflares Skybox Planet Icons TUFX Profile Any other things related Gallery
  4. Since this is the first result on google i wanted to make something clear, this is not the full mod The full mod is being worked on here: Endless expanse: DOT-33 is the first part of an eventual galaxy. The current system (DOT-33) is a binary star system consisting of a yellow dwarf and an orange dwarf, each with their own system. So, will you be able to survive the endless expanse? https://spacedock.info/mod/2936/Endless Expanse: DOT-33 To all of the people who supported me during development, thank you. See you in the full release -TheOrios CC-BY-NC-ND
  5. Welcome to EventHorizon. What this mod is about EventHorizon is a planetpack that adds in a Blackhole-system which is inspired by the movie "Interstellar". I loved Interstellar, the visuals, especially how Gargantua looked like. When @Artyomka15's Kargantua fell into incompatibility, it was sad. So after some time I decided to make my own take on the Gargantua system. Now over a year later, here we are with Murph, a Black hole with a totally appropriate name. 4 Years later, now with Singularity Compatibility! What is featured in this mod. 19 new planetary bodies. 2 new star system 1 Blackhole system Functional wormholes (Thank the Kopernicus developers for that on) Custom science for ever celestial body Custom Planetary Icons(no boring stock dots) A custom lava ocean-texture (not just a red stock ocean) Handmade Blackhole visuals (and a reason to use those fancy high tech high DeltaV engines) Where you can download the mod. https://github.com/GrandProtectorDark/Event-Horizon/releases/tag/1.1 Installation Instructions How to use the Wormholes Some Images Some recommended mods to be used alongside EventHorizon Mod Support - Event Horizon has custom wormhole locations for the following planet packs that replace the Stock-System BeyondHome WhirligigWorld BeforeKerbin AfterKerbin AlternisKerbolRekerjiggered GPP Evolution SLIPPIST-1 - Planet packs that replace the home-system that aren't listed here are supported by placing the Stock system-wormhole in solar orbit -Real Solar System is not supported - Custom Science for the HabitabilityCheck Experiment from EnduranceShip -Antimatter and LqdDeuterium/LqdHe3 can be found in selected regions (When using a mod that needs "CommunityResourcePack") Special thanks to: @Thomas P. not only for Kopernicus itself, but also for adding the ability to make wormholes. @Pkmniako for helping me learn how to make a fancy accretion disk The Kopernicus Discord for being so helpful.

  6. Does anyone know the process of creating an ocean world? I understand that you need to add an Ocean node, but it doesn't translate into scaled space. I'm struggling to find any documentation for this and I would like to know the texturing process for this.
  7. About: To Boldly Go (TBG) is a stand-alone application that allows users to create a procedural galaxy. It leaves the stock game's planets untouched, but adds new stars, planets, and moons--all using real-world calculations (adjusted for the oddities of the in-game physics). The original author, @daniel l., has asked me to take the lead on development, and after a long time of inaction I have finally made a new thread. Current release: For KSP 1.9 (requires Kopernicus Continued 1.9.1): https://github.com/kjoenth/To-Boldly-Go/releases/latest Instructions: Install Kopernicus (comes with a version of ModuleManager). Copy the contents of the GameData/ folder to KSP's GameData/ folder. An example galaxy is included with TBG, but if you want to make your own custom galaxy, launch the GalaxyGen.exe application and follow the instructions. Maximum recommended galaxy size: 200 stars. (KSP 64-Bit) Launch KSP. Depending on your computer and the number of stars+planets+moons in your galaxy, it might take a while for KSP to start up. If you think KSP might have frozen, look in the Logs/Kopernicus/Cache folder to see if files are being generated. Recommended install: Psi Cartographer -- A fork of Sigma88's SigmaCartographer which provides a way to generate scaledSpace images for procedural world. If you think KSP might have frozen, look in the GameData/Psi-Cartographer/PluginData/ folder to see if folders are being generated. Eeek! A bug!: By all means mention things here, but another good place to report things is at https://github.com/kjoenth/To-Boldly-Go/issues Current features: Automatic of customizable galaxy generation. Use of a seed so you can share more easily share your galaxies with friends. An output txt file detailing the details of your galaxy. Star types (O, B, A, F, G, K, M) with procedurally determined colours based on their mass. A wikiEntry html file that is generated for each galaxy that provides details for stars in the generated universe. Different galaxy types: ellipse, disc, or cluster. Galaxy age (impacts the numbers of star types automatically generated). Ability to have no planets, or no moons. Ability to determine exact numbers of each star type. Procedurally generated water worlds (0.3.8). Procedurally generated Eve-like worlds (0.3.9). Procedurally generated kethane world (0.4.0). Procedurally generated views of planets in map view (0.4.1) Add in planets/moons from any start pack. Instructions here. Whether stars are visible from Kerbin depends on their luminosity and distance. Optional integration with ResearchBodies. Optional integration with Environmental Visual Enhancements (EVE) & Stock Visual Enhancements (SVE). Pictures or it didn't happen: @daniel l.'s imgur album: KottabosGames review of an earlier version: Short video showing the "milky way" as seen from Kerbin:
  8. Are there any mods that add planets/moons in a polar orbit around their parent body? I'm just curious.
  9. I am back again and I am pleased to announce a new Planet Pack, yet again. But this one is special, its a remake of my first Planet Pack, The New Crew. Now, you might have noticed, the mod's name is quite misleading, and that's why It is now renamed the Alpharia planet Pack(BTW there is no planet called Alpharaia, It's only called that as it was a remake of my first planet pack and just Alpha sounded boring) Download: https://spacedock.info/mod/2751/Alpharia Planet Pack (The New Crew Reloaded)?ga=<Game+3102+'Kerbal+Space+Program'> Compatible with KSP Version: 1.12.1, 1.11.1 Content(For now) 2 Planets(1 rocky world, 1 Gas giant) 1 Dwarf Planet 9 moons(1 around the Rocky planet,6 around the Gas giant, 2 around the Dwarf planet) Also if you are doing a review for this planet pack, the difficult to pronounce name will have pronunciations in the brackets in the info pannel( also in the pack the syllable "Cy" is pronounced as "Sai") Some Cool shots of the Pack Dependencies Kopernicus(along with everything else in the Kopernicus.zip file) MIT by Thomas P.

  10. This forum post is aimed to share some utilities and tricks that might help with developing custom planets that use Kopernicus. This page is meant for planet developers, not for regular users. Mitchell-Netravali Filtered Heightmap (0.3) Download (and source): Github / CKAN License: MIT Comparison Images PQS similar to the stock's VertexHeightMap, but using cubic filtering instead of bilineal filtering. This yields a generally less pixelated terrain, and far better and smoother cliffs. Read the wiki for installation and usage. It's recommended that if you use this PQS in your own mod, you bundle it with your mod, as to avoid annoyance to the users. Bundle it so the folder 000_NiakoUtils is in GameData. The mod is also avaliable on CKAN.

  13. This mod has been abandoned. It should still work in its current state. Please contact me if you would like to take over the pack. Description This mod adds one small gas giant, the titular planet Helvica, and its moons to the space between the orbits of Duna and Dres. While it may not be as far from Kerbin as Jool or gas giants added by other mods, Helvica does have one trick up its sleeve: It orbits in a retrograde direction. Because of this, you will have to carefully plan your trip in order to get an encounter. It has a few other features as well, including large rings, three moons, one submoon, PlanetShine and DistantObjectEnhancement support, and multiple science biomes for each body. As for compatibility with other planet packs, as long as you don't use mods that add planets between the orbits of Duna and Dres, or that entirely replace the existing stock system (Beyond Home, Galileo's Planet Pack, etc.), you should be good to go. Note: Helvica is my first planet mod, and it is very much a work in progress. Do not expect to find zero bugs. Updates may or may not arrive periodically. Installation Instructions Recommended: Install using CKAN. CKAN will detect compatibility issues and install any missing dependencies if needed. Manual: 1. Download and install the dependencies if you don't already have them. 2. Extract the contents of Helvica_(vX.X).zip\GameData to your KSP GameData folder. 3. Enjoy! Download from SpaceDock Dependencies Kopernicus Stable Branch (1.12.x) Supported Mods PlanetShine DistantObjectEnhancement Q & A Q. Is Helvica compatible with other planet mods? A. Yes, as long as they do not replace the existing stock system, and do not add a planet between the orbits of Duna and Dres. Q. Is Helvica compatible with Principia? A. Helvica is not compatible with Principia. Q. Is Helvica compatible with Rescale or Sigma Dimensions? A. There is currently no support for Rescale or Sigma Dimensions. Q. Where do I report bugs? A. You can either reply to this forum post, or send me a public or private message on my forum profile. Remember to do a proper bug report (i.e., include your mod list and the steps to replicate the bug). I will try to find a fix during my free time. If the bug is caused by a separate mod with no stated compatibility, I may not be able to fix it. A. I no longer take responsibility for this mod. Q. Why does it orbit the wrong way? How do I get to it? A. One of Helvica's primary features is that it is in a retrograde orbit, unlike most other planets. This is intentional. You can either spend enough Δv (delta-v) to put yourself in a retrograde orbit around the Sun, or if you like taking risks, try to get an encounter with Helvica as it is coming towards Kerbin and either aerobrake or use gravity assists (very difficult). You can also raise your Sun apoapsis to a very high altitude,and use a combination of gravity assists and engine power to easily invert your orbit. This has the upside of requiring less delta-v, and the downside of taking many months or years. Q. Can I make suggestions? A. Of course! Feedback and suggestions are very welcome. I need all the help I can get. I might not take suggestions that ask to add X moon, although I will consider it if it is a good idea. A. Suggestions will not be responded to. Helvica System Blue = Complete Green = Released Red = Unreleased Changelog Known Issues Ruse may have strange terrain, particularly around its poles. Borders between biomes may not be well-defined on certain moons. Large file size due to the use of .png textures for Neus Nadavo.

  14. ***Some unknown forces of the Universe (the Kraken) took down to original thread. I was waiting for it to be restored, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Either way, here's the new thread!*** Interstellar Adventure Revived (IA-Revived) is a continuation of the mod "Interstellar Adventure" by @amarius1. The pack adds in a total of 5 new solar systems, each one a near-realistic representation of their counterparts in our universe. These system are TRAPPIST-1, HD 219134, Mu Arae, K2-3, and PSR-B1257+12. Throughout all systems are 6 stars, 20 planets, 16 moons, and a comet. There are also two additional rogue planets, one inspired by Planet 9. Every object is named and presented in a realistic scale - all values are comparable to Earth but shrunk down to Kerbal scale. All the planets have been given a Kerbal flare to them to make them more interesting. Whether it's in their appearances or moons (all of which are hypothetical), these objects are more interesting but still very similar to their real-life counterparts. MUST be run in KSP x64-bit! List of Objects: ROGUE PLANETS TRAPPIST-1 NIOBE-AMPHION (HD 219134/HR 8832) CERVANTES (MU ARAE) K2-3 LICH (PSR B1257+12) UPCOMING FEATURES! While at version 1.2.9, IA-Revived has quite a lot of work ahead. Here are the features coming up soon. Those in green will be in the next update (1.3.0), those in blue in near-future versions, features in orange and coming later on, and those in red are...dubious. Completing the rest of the 1.3.0 features. Completion of the Lich system. Biomes! Biomes! Biomes! Working with Sigma Binary The Kepler-47 system DEVELOPMENT STATUS (AUGUST 18th) Pre-release 1.2.9 has been uploaded to Spacedock. Development on 1.3.0 will re-continue in a few weeks, after my trip to the Carolinas and the busy end-of-summer schedule. =================================================================================================================================================================================================== Download from SPACEDOCK ======================================================================================================================================================================= Version 1.2.0 Screenshots ======================================================================================================================================================================= Kottabos Games Review (Outdated): Fun Facts/Tips: Glauce is the only moon in the mod that may be detectable in real life, if such a moon like it exists. Braciaca is inspired by a study in late 2016 proving that the majority of rogue planets are frozen, orphaned Mars-sized worlds. Morena has a pretty small SOI. It is best not to encounter it with an eccentric orbit, or else you will fly by it too quickly to be captured. There were plans to make a new moon for Selphar, named Valgoh. However, I scrapped the idea when its height map was glitching up. Barcelon may be the new nesting place of the Kraken. Be warned. All planets orbit at 1/10th the distance they do in real life. Every planet and moon is 1/10th the size they would be in real life. However, the star sizes are proportional to Kerbol as they are to the Sun in real life. All main system stars are 1/1000th the distance they are in reality. The name for Trappist-1f was partially inspired by Hurricane Irene, a tropical cyclone that proved quite a nuisance for me back in 2011. During initial development, Cervantes was known as Alcides and the planets were named Iolaus, Iphicles, Hylas, and Megara. I may use those names for any planetary systems I find in the Hercules constellation. Lamancha went through FIVE re-texturings during the development of version 1.1.0. In fact, I did ANOTHER re-texture for 1.2.9/1.3.0.
  15. Planet Staus: A Concept, No ideas or textures. Just Started making, May be a name and texture. First Prototype. May be planet pictures. Pre-Release: I will leave a link to download the planet for peeps to test. I want some feedback if you were to test it. PLS This means the planet is complete and it will be downloadable in a planet pack when it is released. The Planets A Hot-Jool Planet at about half the orbit of Moho with alot of moons Moon 1: A lava moon. May have another small moon orbiting it Moon 2: A less Lava-y Moon. May have a big crack in it Moon 3: A very small red Asteroid moon Moon 4: Another moon may be a small moon or an asteroid one. This planet would have rings Fazo/Faza : An asteroid Moon of Moho Moho may be re-textured A third Kerbin Moon/Probably a asteroid Moon 2 water planets, 1 between Eve and Kerbin and one between Kerbin and Duna Get rid of Ike for 2 smaller duna moons. Sarna: A Gas Giant bewteen Duna and Jool Dres and Vall are moons Will Probably add more moons Jool will have many more Asteroid Moons and will probably. Goal 20 moons. Uarnus: Has a odd ring and many moons orbiting in weird inclinations Nedo : A Planet with a heavy atmosphere which gives it oceans Neiden : A Light Blue gas giant with not as many moons as Jool. Will have many weird and Interesting moons. Armedia: One of a few dwarf planets on the kerbol system outskirts Pluti : Another Dwarf Planet.

Maybe a random pulsar. A made up 2nd solar system. Contents unknown This are my ideas so far. If you have any ideas or name suggestions pls comment them. I want more things and this is a ll i got
  16. For decades Kerbals have ignored Dres and never went there. Because of this, the Kerbals didn't know much about Dres. All of this changed when The Dres Awareness Society sent a probe there and discovered Dres' secrets. Almost everything the Kerbal Astronomical society though they knew about Dres was wrong. - Dres Awareness Society Welcome to the Dres Plus mod. This mod aims to make Dres more exciting and fun. Features: Re-sizes Dres to be 950 km in radius instead of previous 138 km. Dres has rings! (They need some work though) Dres' orbit is more circular and less inclined to make it more like a planet. Surface gravity of Dres is now 2.1g Dres spins very fast now, with a rotational period of around a half an hour. (This makes landings easier than you would think) Dres has three moons. Opaki is the largest moon of Dres It almost entirely covered in a deep blue ocean, except for the poles, which have some land. It has a thick oxygen atmosphere which extends to 40 km. It is about half the size of Kerbin with a gravity of 0.4g. Okuv is the next moon. It is white and brown which makes it look like a snowball that was dropped in mud. It orbits Dres in such a way that it looks like it actually orbits Opaki in a very elliptical and inclined fashion. In terms of landing, it is somewhere in between the Mun and Minmus, as it has a radius of about 100 km. Ast. DIR-284 (also known as Fonzo) is a small moon in the asteroid belt. It is dull and grey like the other asteroids. It is a bit bigger than Gilly with a radius of 19 km, which makes it a Class-V Asteroid. (Yes, I did the math) Pictures: At the time that I am writing this, my profile picture is a sunset from Opaki. Note : This mod requires Koperncius Another Note: This mod is very much a work-in-progress. Now on to the important stuff. Download (Spacedock) License
  17. Welcome to my second mod thread. If you haven't already noticed, I've pretty much halted development for RealExpansion due to low community interest and me wanting to persue Far Lands. Far Lands adds more star systems into the game in a similar style to KSS, with multiple filler stars for gravity assists and to look nice. Far Lands is defined as a mega project as I plan to add a large amount of systems working in between other mods. The goals are very much long term, and updates will be infrequent.

  18. Welcome to Kluster, a new, WIP mod that will add not 1, but 2 galaxies to the game! the main galaxy, Miluwy pass galaxy. will be the galaxy where the small, Megtellastic Storm galaxy would orbit! What`s going to be in Kluster? Red: Not complete / Not in development Purple: In development Blue: Near Completion / Beta Test Green: Completely Done and dusted / Finished Saugi Awn: the Miluwy pass` supermassive black hole, it will measure at about 26421561552 meters in diameter, and its escape velocity at its surface will be 299792458 meters, AKA at the speed of light. saugi awn will also include a immense `ring` system. ---Alphua: The Megtellastic Storm`s Supermassive black hole, measuring at about 1827356214 meters in diameter, its escape velocity at its surface is also at the speed of light. This would be what kerbol orbits. it will orbit Saugi Awn. ------Kerbol: No info required. Just orbits Alphua. (its red as its orbit has not been developed yet) ------Poait: a medium sized purple star, for hundreds of years kerbals thought it was a giant egg awaiting fertilization, thinking a great and powerful creature would arise from it, however. scientists dismissed that idea quickly. Poait will be 45000000m in width, and would be bright purple. It will also include a small system of planets. ---------Koriand'r: a wierd world orbiting Poait, it has pink oceans and green + orange landscape. it is very hospitable due to its lovely oxygen rich atmosphere (which is purple). but it has 3x the gravity of kerbin. it hosts a lot of lifeforms, scientists at KASA wonder if the color of the oceans are the cause of life. its diameter is around 1200km. and has 3 moons. ------------Troq: a hostile moon, due to tidal influence of nearby moons and Koriand'r, it is highly volcanic, it has large seas of magma, rivers and alike. It is 320 km in diameter, and has no atmosphere. it is in a highly eliptical orbit ------------silasyrhc: a weird world, it has massive mountain ranges, and a thin atmosphere (which doesn't contain oxygen). it is very cold, and somehow had captured a large asteroid, it is 275km in diameter ---------------Sola: a small asteroid, around 89km in diameter, it is heavily cratered and mountainous. it has no atmosphere. ------------kitoail: the largest moon, some kerbal scientists cant decide whether to change it from `moon` status to `binary planet` status, it is a large world, also containing life. it has massive blue oceans and massive continents, it is 800km is diameter, it however has 2x the gravity, so landing and launching is just as hard as eve! it also has a oxygen rich atmosphere. ---------Savaos: a massive, and i mean MASSIVE gas giant, around 2200000m in diameter, and whats more, ITS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO POAIT. around 1210510 km away from the star. a day here is as long as its year, 2 days, 3 hours and 29 minutes. and it has some moons. it was discovered 30 years ago. ------------Rith: its orbit takes 2 days, 3 hours and 29 minutes, and due to this is technically tidally locked with poait, it hangs permanently in the shadow of savaos, never being hit by daylight or heat, it is as cold as ice, actually its colder than, around that of -182*C. it also has oceans of liquid oxygen. More bodies are going to be added later, but feel free to suggest your own ideas, because you never know if your idea is gold! Screenshots N/A, The mod has not been developed yet. Developers GalacticVoyager - Founder, Tester, Main Planet Creator ProtoJeb21 - Co-Owner, Main Planet Developer, Main Coder License Feel free to share your thoughts on this mod, we are aiming for a quite unique mod that includes many worlds that would look weird or bizarre to other people! Kluster suggestion thread and development!
  19. The Kronkus system - Kopernicus Planet Pack by MrChumley This mod adds a ringed gas giant with 4 moons. It is ready for career mode with full integration into the stock game. Completely new biomes with custom science, and new secrets to discover. Textures have been optimized for quick loading, and low memory use. Includes: 1 GAS GIANT Kronkus: Huge purple ringed gas giant orbiting between Dres and Jool 4 MOONS Eahpeh: The icy shepherd moon that weaves its way through the rings of Kronkus. Kersex: It's the "Almost Kerbin" home away from home. A whole new frontier with towering mountains, desolate deserts, and fjords that stretch as far as the eye can see. Meelo: Next, is Meelo. The middle moon. Orbits outside Kersex. It's monotone colors are home to the most "sensible" moon in the Kronkus system. Scool: The outermost, tidally-locked, dusty snowball moon of the Kronkian system. Known issues: Kerbin space center "looks weird": Using Kerbin template causes the sky to be incorrect in the space center view. It is, however, correct in the flight view and the flight map view. Kersex has extra ground station(s): The extra ground station is hard coded into the Kerbin template (Which Kersex relies on) and cannot be removed (as far as I know). After extensive testing, I have determined that the extra base has minimal impact on gameplay. During career mode the station cannot be upgraded so its range is extremely limited. Enabling extra ground stations is not recommended. DOWNLOADS Kronkus Releases Source ________________________________________ (Requires Kopernicus and Module Manager) Supports: Optional: "FarOut" Contract Pack requires Contract Configurator Galactic Neighborhood Distant object enhancement bis New Horizons compatible Environmental visual enhancements (adds clouds to Kersex) Research bodies ________________________ Add this optional config file to your Kronkus folder if you want to move Kerbin into orbit of Kronkus: MoveKerbin.cfg <~~~ Right click & Save as Enjoy!
  20. _____________________ Kerbol Origins _____________________ Welcome to Kerbol Origins, a mod that aims to recreate all the SQUAD planet ideas that never got implemented, like the Gas Planet Two (GP2), Gas Planet Three (that is actually a giant rocky planet) and many more. The mod has been fine-tuned to be as stockalike as possible and we made sure that it fills most of the gaps the stock Kerbol system has. Many of the celestial bodies added by this pack are proceduraly generated, which means that they have a lower memory footprint, but others use heightmaps and while they are not entirely procedural, they offer much more detail than the procedural ones. _____________________ Pictures _____________________ ( https://imgur.com/gallery/vKGxl7c _______________________ Recommended mods _____________________ - by Amarius1 - by Nils277 - by Valerian _______________________ Lets meet the new planets! _____________________ Faz: Harvest: Rega: Sarvin Keelon: Corolet: __________________________________ The team! ________________________________ @amarius1 - Original Owner & Lead Developer @Mythical Donuts - Developer @zherdev - Developer @Nils277 - Part Creator @Olympic1 - Career Compatibility & Tweaks @The White Guardian - Career Compatibility, EVE Clouds & Tweaks @smokytehbear - FF Ribbons @Eriksonn - Principia Compatibility And more! __________________________________ Thank you ________________________________ Thomas - For developing and mantaining Kopernicus.

  22. This thread is outdated and old, check out the new one here Check out the discord server! This thread will remain up for archive stuff and also because why not
  23. This is no longer the main thread find the new one here^
  24. I have always wanted to create a few ksp planets, but I find that the learning curve of kopernicus prevents me from achieving anything. So an idea would be to have an integrated editor, where the only thing you would have to do manually is creating the textures for the system. There should be an array of options that set the properties of the planet, with a view of the body you are making - similar to the map view in flight. You would also skip the process of constantly opening and closing the game to see the results. To visualise this, I created an incredibly rough design of what this could look like if implemented: I'm not suggesting a procedural planet editor like space engine, but instead an understandable UI that visualises the whole process.
