Hello everyone! The KSP Forums have a wealth of great resources for how to develop your own planet pack. But despite these resources, planet making can still be a very confusing process. This page is for people who are new to or curious about Kopernicus and planet-making in KSP. Anyone can contribute questions regarding the subject matter, and other developers are welcome to help answer those questions. Before posting a question here, I highly recommend you check out the following page: I will try to help whenever I can. I might not know the answers to some things: I have been developing my first planet pack for 5 months now, but I still have much to learn

FINAL DAWN CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Final Dawn is the second and best mod I've published so far. The universe has met it's end, but life keeps struggling: as do the kerbals. As two of the blackest stars collided, heat was released and a system was born. Eager to finally have a place to live again, a desert world was terraformed in the greatest mission to terraform yet. All that's left to do, is to rediscover ancient technology, and to rediscover a system forgotten. Final Dawn, being set around a white dwarf, is very hard relative to other planet packs. Approach with caution. Stock screenshots: Screenshots with visual mods: Maps: Download on SpaceDock: https://spacedock.info/mod/2597/Final Dawn Compatible mods: Thanks for reading! I hope you'll have a lot of fun playing this mod -Caps

Hello everyone! This is the new thread for my *HEAVILY* WIP Kopernicus mod: You're Hot 'N You're Cold This mod, as of this edit, has been COMPLETELY restructured. YHNYC aims to add in new and unique worlds to challenge your spaceflight technologies, reaching absurdly close AND far distances from Kerbol. There will not be an absurd amount of objects as originally planned, only a few overall. Object Concept List Below: ALERT! CRUDDY CONCEPT ART BELOW THIS LINE. --------------

OUTERSPACE So what is Outer Space? Outer Space is my first Kopernicus planet pack, aiming to bring more challenge in the game. Nothing much at the moment. !WARNING! This mod is in it's early stages, bugs occur! If you experience weird glitches, PM me and i will try to fix it. When is this updated? Updates will happen, but sometimes things can block development time. I can't really tell. Who is in charge of this? @GenesisPlayz (Myself) The lead developer. I'm doing all the coding and stuff. @ModerndayLink Giving me tips in the beginnng and helping me out when i got confused. @SamBelanger For making the textures, i like them and it saves me alot of time (I'm a terrible artist when it comes to rocky plernerts). CHANGELOG KNOWN ISSUES: TO-DO LIST: DOWNLOAD VIA SPACEDOCK: If you want to take an early peek now: https://spacedock.info/mod/1435/''Outerspace'' KSP Planet Pack Eh, SpaceDock doesn't want to update the mod for some reason. Well, here is an alterative via MEGA: https://mega.nz/#!U3QBlKJT!vAExDvviY35GUhp6XoM61A2fuy30yJapyDujP2XZpz8 SPECIAL THANKS:

(untested) Description: Serenity is a Gas giant beyond the reaches of Jool and sometimes Eeloo. 2 of its moons, Garden and Mesa are some very strange worlds not yet visited by Kerbalkind. Serenity - A pink and blue gas giant in the outskirts of the solar system, theorized to have been pushed to the edge of the solar system by Jool 4.5 billion years ago. Mesa - A desolate vacuum world, orbiting close to Serenity. Garden - A world most comparable to Laythe, with its oxygenated atmosphere and waters, though is too far from Kerbol to support Helmetless activity, though may be possible around Sea level due to unknown reasons (BUGS!) Kassie - A small asteroid sub-moon orbiting Garden. It is very hard to find due to its distance and size. Q/A: Is it lazy? Yes. Enjoy at your own risk of barfing. Is it challenging?

THE REACH: INTERSTELLAR Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License The Reach Interstellar is an interstellar based planet pack for more advanced players. The system sits at about two kerbal light years distance. The mod is meant to be compatible with several system replacer mods, and with any mod in the Interstellar Consortium. The system in question features 16 landable objects, and a red dwarf binary in the centre.

Note: If you had the original InterKalactic mod, this is separate and NOT compatible. This is a separate planet pack entirely, the original has been discontinued. For now, at least. InterKalactic 2 is a remake of InterKalactic; many of the bodies from the original pack are used, but now, there's some story and uniqueness behind InterKalactic 2. IK2 is based off of the premise that Kerbol is expanding into a red giant, and expanding your sights to the stars and planets beyond. I'm aware that in real life these events would take billions of years, but for the sake of this planet pack, we're pretending that these events all happen within a much shorter time frame. InterKalactic 2 has two 'dependencies': Kopernicus and Kerbol++. Kopernicus allows for planets to be modified in KSP, and Kerbol++ is my other planet mod which implements several semi-realism and challenge-based tweaks to planets that are inherited by this pack. Kerbol++ will modify the bodies of every planet except for Kerbol, Ike, Gilly and Eve accordingly. If you want to support this mod or my other projects, you can donate at the following bitcoin address: 15nhma9mEYqhBE5hyCHa4bGUyrAfnaUrxd or PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/clockwork13 You are also welcome to provide your own planet textures if you would like. The bodies in this modpack are currently mostly divided into 2 distinct regions: Kerbol and the InterKalactic Plain, as I have unofficially dubbed it. Kerbol consists of the Kerbol System, with only minor changes by InterKalactic, including an analogy for Planet 9. The InterKalactic Plain currently only consists of one incomplete star system: Sol. It also includes the black hole known as Hawking's Singularity. In between the IKP and Kerbol is another WIP star system, Aartee. While the rest of the Kerbol System remains fairly accessible, the IKP is a tremendously far distance away, and you'll need to be going very fast to reach it. However, once you do, the rest of the InterKalactic star systems become much more within reach, as they will all be much closer to eachother from this point onwards. While IK2 is optimized for KSP 1.3.1, I don't expect it to have any problems running on more recent versions of KSP. Latest Update (0.2): Multiplied Gilly's surface gravity by 10, to account for it's reduced SOI and to make landing a bit less of a headache (now it's 0.05g) Added a black hole named Hawking's Singularity to the InterKalactic Plain, in remembrance of Stephen Hawking. Known Issues: None currently Download on SpaceDock: https://spacedock.info/mod/1750/InterKalactic 2 Download K++ on SpaceDock: https://spacedock.info/mod/1732/Kerbol++ or visit its main thread: You can view the thread of the original InterKalactic here (note that it is not compatible with IK2 or K++): SCREENSHOTS: Sunset on Kerbin Gas planet size comparison; The big one is Korbur (Kerbal's name for Jupiter), the purple one is Korvin, and the green one is Jool Moho on the horizon All 3 of the currently implemented stars from a distance (from right to left: Sol, Kerbol, Aartee) Below, you will find a summary of how the planets have changed. (Changes from Kerbol++ are listed too) Kerbol (The Sun) Kerbol is now many times larger and brighter than before. In addition, it has acquired a reddish hue. Moho Moho is slowly being pulled into the Sun, and as such, it is tidally locked and orbits extremely quickly around the Sun. Moho now possesses Gilly as its moon. If you choose to visit this duo, don't forget radiators. Gilly After being flung through the Kerbol system, Gilly has found home orbiting close Moho. Eve Eve's orbit has been notably elongated. While still not too far from Kerbin, bring some extra fuel if you're going to Eve. Currently, Eve is technically moonless. VoronoiCraters A series of 4 temporary moons orbiting Eve. These are just temporary for testing purposes and will be removed later, so please don't settle them. Kerbin Kerbin has been more or less spared by Kerbol. While Kerbin has been saved from the worst of it, the planet still may experience occasional temperature swings as a result of its increasingly eccentric orbit which wreak havoc on the environment. Kerbin's orbit has slowly been spiraling out, and so it's relatively farther from Kerbol than it would have been otherwise. Mun The Mun orbits extra far from Kerbin now. Minmus The orbit of Minmus is now highly irregular, taking it both closer and farther from Kerbin than previously. Duna Duna has been pushed outwards from the Sun like Kerbin. The Dunian system remains mostly unaffected by the expanding sun otherwise, but has gained a brand new moon, mysteriously. Oogaloo This funnily named moon orbits in between Duna and Ike. It is rather small, just slightly bigger than Gilly. Ike Ike remains unchanged in this pack. Dres Dres has been pushed out a bit as well, but otherwise remains unchanged Jool Vall is now Jool's closest moon, followed by the other bodies in their previous orders. Jool also has a nice set of rings and is much, much bigger. Vall The shephard moon of Jool's rings. Laythe The second closest moon to Jool. Volcanically hyperactive and covered mostly with an ocean. Pol Pol is a distant, irregular moon of Jool. Bop Bop is also a distant, irregular moon of Jool. Eeloo Eeloo remains unchanged by this pack, besides for orbiting much farther from Kerbol. Korvin The elusive, recently discovered 'Planet 9'. Reaching this one is tricky as it has a fairly elliptical and distant orbit. It was discovered after Kerbal scientists studied anomalies found in the orbits of Eeloo and various asteroids. Korvin's two moons are Oceania and Kyel. Oceania This water world has no surface at all, and is heated up by its close proximity orbiting Korvin. Oceania has a fairly thick atmosphere notably similar to that of Kerbin. Kyel A relatively flat and cratered desert orbiting Korvin. Would be great for base building. Kyel has a thin, grey atmosphere. Aartee A high energy star distant from everything else. This is what lies between Kerbol and the InterKalactic Plain. Currently does not host any planets, but is great for solar energy. Sol A welcoming, yellow star, currently the only star in the InterKalactic Plain. Myecl A grey chunk of rock orbiting closest to Sol. Hosts no moons and has little value in colonization, besides for a relative abundance of ore. Alternis A red, ringed desert world orbiting Sol. Currently hosts no moons. A weak potential biological signature has been detected here. Korbur A massive gas giant orbiting farthest from Sol. Hosts just 4 known moons. Ie Korbur's nearest moon. It is very yellow and volcanically active. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT made out of ice cream. Cryo Cryo consists of a large ocean, but locked under a massive global sheet of ice that is kilometers thick. Klaspen The third moon of Korbur. Heavily cratered. Kallisto Sometimes confused with Klaspen, Kallisto is also dark colored and heavily cratered Hawking's Singularity A black hole in remembrance of Stephen Hawking. Currently has no bodies orbiting it.

Hello All!!! I've been working on this mod on and off for about two months now, and I finally got myself to finish it. Dwarf Planets Plus is a mod that (absolutely definitely was not meant to shut up the vesta-lovers and) adds in five extra dwarf planets to the solar system! If you've ever felt that Eeloo and Dres didn't represent Centaur, KBO, and Asteroid Belt objects well, this mod is for you. DPP was meant to be a supplemental mod, meaning that it is designed to work with most planet packs created by the community (including my own mods). Note that the mod currently does not work if you are also using Kerbal Star Systems. If you have any suggestions for future updates, leave them here. Here are some shots of the five objects currently in the mod (more will be inserted in future updates). https://imgur.com/a/wMDVx https://imgur.com/a/9JHBT https://imgur.com/a/ubSlx https://imgur.com/a/Al31t https://imgur.com/a/Vxboc Here is the link to download: https://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/dwarf-planets-plus Features for the next update: 1: Dwarf Moons (asteroid like moons) 2: Eris analog with 3: Improved Biome Maps 4: Compatibility improvements (to make the mod playable with GPP and KSS, for example) 5: Research Bodies support (maybe) eve support will come after update 2. don't ask for it.

This really needs a better name. This mod is still a work in progress, this version is being released mainly for feedback. Anyway, this is a simple exoplanet mod, working in much the same way as Extrasolar, with a star orbiting Kerbol at great distance, making for reasonable computer resource usage, and a balanced and believable (to kerbal scale at least) distance. As a planet pack, this requires Kopernicus to work. Bodies: There are some known issues, such as the fact that terrain looks wrong from orbit. This is because I didn't add proper texturing for the scaled version, still working on that. Update listing Plans: More planets Make terrain look nicer Fix bugs Science messages OTHER MOD NOTES: Required: Kopernicus Recommended: Better Time Warp Continued KSP Interstellar Extender or another high-tech rocket mod.

Dres Moons Mod (1.8.1) What Does this Mod Add? The Dres Moons Mod adds two moons to Dres. Pacito: A small, reddish brown moon that orbits near Dres. It is thought to contain a small amount of iron. Ceric: A small, bluish snowball with a bright orange crater and a very faint ring. Quite the curious world indeed, especially since it (like Eeloo) has no surface scatter.

Hello! This is Tekcate, a small, simple planet pack that adds three new bodies to the Kerbol System. Keep in mind that this is the first mod I have ever created, so it does have flaws. Kopernicus is necessary for this mod to function. This mod also features full Science Definitions. I would greatly appreciate hearing your feedback! Thanks to KottabosGames for the review. New Worlds Tekcate- An oversized asteroid (or undersized dwarf planet?) orbiting Kerbol between Kerbin and Duna on a moderately eccentric, slightly inclined orbit. It is the size of Minmus at 60 kilometers in radius, and is a dark gray ball of rock and ice. Tekili- Tekcate's primary natural satellite, orbiting quite to its parent. It is a tiny, smooth, and pink moon even smaller than Gilly. Tekili is roughly an eighth the size of Tekcate at 7 kilometers in radius. Tekova- The second, smaller moon of Tekcate, only half the size of Tekili. It orbits much further from its parent on an inclined, elliptical than Tekili and can be called a miniature version of Minmus. Installation Instructions Simply extract the entirely of the .zip file, and insert the "Tekit" folder into KSP's GameData folder. Changelog Thanks to Gameslinx for helping me with terrain scatter.

Skaian System Planet Pack First, I want to thank @The White Guardian for letting me use his mods to learn and @Thomas P. for the Kopernicus Examples, and also Andrew Hussie to make the webcomic this mod is inspired on! This is my first planet pack so there might be some issues with the developement and I might need some help if someone is kind enough to comment (With all the credit). So, this mod is based on the different planets of the webcomic Homestuck by Andrew Hussie, with Skaia being the center of the mod. Spoiler alert for those who are interested in Homestuck. So, let's meet the planets shall we? (Btw I have no idea how to do the posts) First: Skaia! This blue, gassy marble somewhere in the orbit of Duna has the characteristic of being exactly like Kerbin at some point, being a semihabitable planet with no soil. This planet baffles Kerbals by its blueness, and the mysterious influence the planet has on it's moons, changing lumps of rocks into good ol' habitable planets. Next: Typheus, also known as the Land of Wind And Shade! This even bluer marble is one of the satellites of Skaia, scoured mostly flat by past storms, thought to have been provoked by the influence of the moon's primary. It's thought that before these winds cleaned the planet, this moon used to be rainy and cloudy, and maybe it had life, evidenced by the lakes of pure oil dotting the surface of the planet; and it has old ruins of a sewage system, evidencing sapient beings. It's the most coveted planet of the Kerbol system, specially by the United States of Kamerica. So, this it's waht I have managed to make! Future features I want to include (Green mostly done, orange being worked on, red still not made, blue maybe not included) Lands of Heat and Clockwork, of Light and Rain, and Frost and Frogs. Prospit and Derse The Nobles and Trolls planets. So, this is my planet pack! I hope you like it and I would be so grateful if someone reports any bugs (I'ts my first planet pack so it's likely there are) or could help me out writing the code! -Download the mod: -Dropbox Thanks for reading! :o)

CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT Screenshots coming soon

Hello, it's Noah the Smol! I'm working on a planet pack I call 'NOPE', or Noah's Planet Expansion. It will include multiple planets, moons and objects to explore! The amount of objects will NOT be as insane as some of my other projects, but there will be a good number(5-6 large planets, and lots of smaller objects). The objects will be in red if they are currently not even started or can't be in the game, orange if they've been barely started, yellow for ~1/2 done and green for done with lastly blue for released or soon to be released. Keep posted for more! Thanks! -NTS

Development Thread for Ramesses System Overhaul (RSO) What is RSO? As the name suggests, the mod will replace all of the planets and add a bit more. RSO will be situated around a K-type star which is orbited by 14 planets (3 minor), with an early L-type orbited by 5 planets. All of which are listed below The Planets Ra System Seker System Pics Click for Imgur album Keep in mind that this mod is still a work in progress and will not be uploaded until I feel like it's ready for release.

Hello! Welcome to my second planet mod, Planet Dunope Revamped! Download it here: https://www.spacedock.info/mod/2093/Planet Dunope Revamped Planet Dunope Revamped is my second KSP planet mod which brings back the old Planet Dunope mod in a new and revamped form! Kopernicus is required for this mod to work correctly. Dunope is a small ringed planet located between kerbin and duna. Besides having a nice ring system, it hosts a small green moon orbiting close aswell. Explore this new world with many biomes, and custom scienceDefs! Enjoy a great view of Dunope from its small close orbiting green moon! LICENSE: CC BY-ND 4.0

This mod has been superseded. You can access it by clicking here. - - - - REAL EXOPLANETS All rights reserved WHAT IS THIS? Real Exoplanets is an expansion for Real Solar System that adds several new confirmed exoplanets into KSP. As the name implies, all of these exoplanets are real, and all of the planetary systems are located exactly where they are in real life. All of the planets have accurate characteristics and the visual appearance and texturing of all exoplanets are based off of our current understanding of planetary science. The only area where realism is being sacrificed is in the distances to the planetary systems. Due to the limitations of KSP and other factors, all planetary systems are located 1/10th of their real life distance. This will make the exoplanets more accessible, while still maintaining the incredible size of the universe.

NOTE: THIS PACK IS HEAVILY W.I.P. AND NEEDS YOUR HELP! The idea of Kerbol Genesis is a alteration of the stock system along with adding new stars, planets and moons that can be customized like a set of Lego bricks to make your own Galactic Neighborhood. @TheJangleMan has given me permission to use K.G.R. assets, so as such, I will use ALL of the assets, essentially creating K.G.R. Volume 2. Here is the current list of bodies. All bodies have names and descriptions, though these are subject to change. NOTE - When it comes to K.G.R. planets, I don't exactly know the orbits of the bodies, so bare with me if they aren't correct! Kerbol (Sun, New Texture and Corona) Eternium - Eternium is anything but eternal, as this hot Jool is literally evaporationg away due to Kerbol's Solar wind. Supprisingly, there is a surface of Black Diamond with lakes of liquid hydrogen here - that is, if you can make it to the surface. Moho (Updated Textures and HeightMap) - Moho is a small rock slightly larger than our Mun that is in a binary orbit with Grorth. It is hot here and, frankly, quite uninteresting. SilicaMoon1 "Grorth" (In Binary orbit with Moho) - Grorth is cooler than Moho, but that doesn't mean its not hot here. Still as uninteresting as its brother, Moho. Asteroid1 "Asluaphus" (Orbiting LaGrange Point) - Asluaphus is like the other bodies in the Moho System - BORING. Eve (New Maps and Description) - An Kerbin-like planet with an atmosphere that is not breathable to Kerbals due to low oxygen levels and unusually large amounts of argon. A long mountain range snakes its way around the planet, forming the backbone of several continents. There are Lakes of what is presumed to be Rocket Fuel here. OceaniaMoon1 "Shamun" (%80 Water with craters, similar to Kerbol Star System's Laythe) - A small Kerbin-like satellite with a rich oxygen atmosphere. The moon is dotted with countless tiny islands made from impact craters. The plant-like organisms on Shamun are almost exclusively types of grass. They can reach incredible heights due to the strength of some species, while others would be barely noticeable in a microscope, if not for their spectacular colors. Shrubs, bushes and flowers are also fairly prominent, but fungi and trees are nearly non-existent. While their colors, shapes and in some cases their scents may be wonderful, none of these organisms have developed beyond a more basic form. Gilly (New Maps and description) - Gilly is a tiny asteroid orbiting Eve. Gilly has the smallest gravity of any body in the entire Kerbol System. SuperOceaniaPlanet1 "Wioter" (%100 water) - Wioter has no landmasses to speak of, just barren, empty and cruel oceans. This planet isn't the most ideal place for life, but there are plenty of examples similar to this planet which do sustain life. Only time will tell if Wioter is a future home to new lifeforms. DesertMoon1 "Skruwioter" (Similar to Tatooine from Star Wars: Episode 4) - When scientists realized that a proper landing in Water with a traditional lander wasn't possible, an intern shouted, "Screw Water!" A writer misinterpreted the exclamation as the name of Water yet in-named moon and wrote it down. It has stuck ever since. Sustaining life on its own isn't something this moon will be capable of in the near future, but the conditions are good enough to allow terra forming and the planet is rich in resources, which could make it perfect for a mining colony. Kerbin (Same as Stock, No Changes Here) SpacePotato1 "Tromia E3LF" (Captured Asteroid that threatened Kerbin, but now resides at approx. 3-5 million meters above sea level) - Tromia E3LF made everyone scream a couple years back when it came barreling towards Kerbin. Now it resides in orbit, serving as a potential refueling base for KSC's Missions in the Kerbol System and Beyond. Mun (New Text. and Height.) - The Mun has always been a presence both in Kerbin's sky and Kerbal's minds. However, when Kerbonauts arrived here, their dreams of a world filled with canals of cookies and cream ice cream were swiftly crushed. Bummer Minmus (New Text. and Height.) - Minmus is also called, "That green thing you can see if you squint really hard." Minmus is mint colored, but doesn't taste like Mint ice cream at all. TidallyLockedTerra1 "Huobos" (Rotation slowed by 2 moons, Hurricane at equator with temperate twilight zones and frozen night side) - Huobos's two moons slow down it's rotation so much that although it is millions of miles away from Kerbol, it is essentially tidally locked. One large continent stretches from the north pole to the south pole. Ecosystems range from tropical rain forest to arid grassland and frozen tundra. A large Hurricane is ever-present on it's Kerbol-Facing Side. SilicaMoon2 "Frayalea" (Like Kerbins Mun, 180 degrees away in rotation from SilicaMoon3) - A lifeless rock with no atmosphere, about the size of Kerbin's mun. A few uranium deposits are the only sites of interest here, and there are only a dozen or so of them. SilicaMoon3 "Strov" (Like Kerbins Mun, 180 degrees away in rotation from SilicaMoon2) - Similar to Frayalea, Strov is fairly uninteresting. Unfortunately, it doesn't even have deposits of Uranium to support interest here. Katney ([AKA Duna] Suffered Comet impact, now more temperate and more Kerbin-esque) - Katney, formerly known as Duna, recently suffered an impact from a comet, and has been transformed by it. What used to be a cold red planet is, well, slightly less so. Katney, named after Mark Katney (a famous Kerbonaut who survived being stranded on Duna for over a year), has a moderately-thick atmosphere with oxygen and water present at the surface due to a comfortable temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. While Katney currently holds no lifeforms, it may very well do so in the future. The conditions are near perfect, all it takes now is the right trigger and plenty of time. Perhaps an advanced species could help set things in motion with a failed lander with microbes accidentally spared from cleaning on board. Ike (New Texture and heightmap) - Ike is a cold satellite of Katney that has no satellite's on or near it. Until you go there (wink-wink)! SpacePotato2 "Brora 237" (Like Phobos) - Brora 237 is an uninteresting space potato orbiting Katney. SpacePotato3 "Brora 238" (Like Demos) - Brora 238is an uninteresting space potato orbiting Katney. Dres (More Interesting with new maps) - Dres is a dwarf planet orbiting in Kerbol's Asteroid belt. There is no atmosphere here, but large canyons dot the surface. Resources are pretty much the only thing Dres is known and good for. Comet1 "Gleshan 893" (Captured Icy Comet) - This blue comet is forever suspended over Dres. It saddens scientists that more people Know about Gleshan than Dres. Jool (Now a Green Dwarf Star due to an event similar to that which occur in 2010: Odyssey 2) - Jool used to be a Gas Giant until the Krakening. Millions of Monoliths swarmed Jools Atmosphere, increasing its denity enough until it began Nuclear Fusion. Oddly enough, Jool has retained its green color, and as such is the only known Green Star in existence. Asteroid2 "Lah" (Large Captured Asteroid) - Lah is a tiny metallic rock orbiting in what used to be Jool's Asteroid belt. It is now the only asteroid left from before the Krakening. Pol (Now more like Io, with volcanoes lava) - Pol used to be a calm moon until Jool began Nuclear Fusion. Pol heated up from the combination of Tidal forces and Jool's light. Pol is heavily volcanic, so although beautiful as this moon may be, life will of course never be possible here. But in terms of research, this moon has plenty of secrets and answers ready to be discovered. If nothing else, Pol at least makes for a gorgeous sight in the night skies of the planets around it. Laythe (Less Water, More Land, Higher temp) - A oceanic moon with an oxygen-rich atmosphere, Laythe has warmed and dried up quite a bit. A layer of single-celled photosynthetic organisms covers the entire surface of the planet, giving it a uniform appearance and a vivid green color. These unicellular plants are so successful that the evolutionary process has largely stalled, however several more complex species of photosynthetic plant have also developed. Tylo (Now more like 2nd Eve with thick atmo. AND high G-force ASL) - Tylo is every Kerbonaut's Nightmare, and Jedidiah's Dream Moon. While life will never be possible on Tylo, it does offer a unique sight in the night sky of the rest of Jool's nearby moons. Its colors and violent weather here occasionally makes the night quite magical on those planets, especially those with an atmosphere. TerraMoon2 "Flov" (Like Kerbin but colder and more land) - Flov is essentially a smaller Kerbin. It has the same land to water ratio, but has no life present at the surface. DesertSub-Moon1 "Meylia" (Like Duna but brown, more atmo and water) - Meylia has huge sandstorms that cover its surface. Although extremely violent, this sub-moon holds many resources which could be of the utmost importance to Kerbalkind. With the right technology, battling the elements on Meylia shouldn't be too much of a challenge. Vall (Now like a melted Europa but with land and red plant life) - A small Kerbin-like moon with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. The entire planet is covered by one enormous ocean. There are only a few small islands where forests of red fungus-like organisms grow. SilicaSub-Moon1 "Crufater" (Like Kerbin's Mun but much smaller and Minmus gravity ASL) - A small lifeless rock with an extremely thin nitrogen atmosphere. Its surface is pitted with large impact craters. No indigenous lifeforms exist here, and the only interest in Crufater is its Metalic Crust. SilicaMoon5 "Rarus" (Like Smaller Tylo) - This Silicate based moon is cratered on all sides. It's obvious life on Rarus is impossible, but this moon does hold the key to whether or not life will exist on the other Joolian moons around it. Rarus shields some of the other moons from an asteroid field which Jool comes into contact with every few decades. When this happens, small pieces are scattered through the Jool system, but the vast majority are caught by Rarus. Those pieces that do get scattered are usually not big enough to destroy the other moons, while at the same time potentially holding the right materials or even lifeforms to begin the process of life on those other Joolian moons IceGiant1 "Cryria" (Purple and Yellow Uranus with 4 separate rings) - Cryria is a Highly Tilted Ice Giant orbiting past Jool. A large storm resides at the equator here, and a septagon cloud formation present at both the north and south poles. SpacePotato4 "Trion" (Ring Herder) - Trion is a small red space potato that herds Cryria's 1st and 2nd rings. FormingTerra/SilicaMoon1 "Protonus" (Hot planet with primordial soup being fromed from 2nd and 3rd Rings No life yet, but the materials are there.) - Protonus is a warm moon forming in-between Cryria's second and third rings. It is kept relatively warm by its atmosphere, which is mostly composed of carbon dioxide, and bombardment from the rings above. This is a damp, boggy world, prone to excessive rain and seasonal flooding. A relatively flat surface prevents water from pooling into large oceans and instead keeps the water table high. There are a number of small seas however, which are fed by wide, shallow rivers - a product of the planet's active weather system. It is possible that these sea's have a mixture of Primordial compounds in them, but no scientist knows for sure. Space Potato5 "Kepard" (Ring Herder) - Kepard is a yellow space potato herding Cryria's 3rd and 4th rings. IceDesertMoon1 "Drars" (Colder than Duna, Blue sand) - A cold, blue desert moon with a nitrogen atmosphere. While oxygen levels are too low for Kerbal respiration, the availability of precious metals at or near the surface makes it an ideal candidate for mining operations. Comet2 "Kaprilles 923" (Captured Icy Comet that could deliver IceDesertMoon1 Water) - This small white comet is mostly flat and is made of about 90% water. It is slowly falling back down to Drars's surface. SilicaMoon6 "Fregatis" (Like Ike/Dres) - Fregatis has what KSC scientists call, "Dresitis" - the sickness of being a boring body surrounded by interesting bodies. IceGiant2 "Brao" (Like Saturn but Blue and Orange [I'm an Auburn fan, War Eagle!], and 2 rings) - Brao may look calm due to it's colors, but it is anything but. Brao has the most ferocious winds in the entire Kerbol System, and has Hurricanes larger than Kerbin, Eve, and Katney combined. FormingSilicaMoon2 "Kunia"(Like Stock Pol, but HOT) - Kunia is a forming volcanic world. Obviously this moon cannot sustain life, as the conditions here are far too violent and change too often. Perhaps when things have calmed down in a few million years life will begin to appear, but right now we can only study Kunia for more information about how moons-and planets-are formed. Methania/SulphuriaMoon1 "Eynope" (Like Titan, but Blue surface and Purple Atmosphere) - This odd Moon was all a scientist said when it was first viewed. Eynope has Gail-force winds and a surface with liquid Sulphur. Life is obviously impossible on this planet and will always be impossible. The conditions are too violent and anything that reaches the planet's surface is destroyed in its violence. A violence that is strangely beautiful, yet eerily frightening. Eeloo (New Texture and Heightmap, Binary, Like Europa) - Eeloo is one of the most Distant bodies in the Kerbol System. There are large underground reservoirs of liquid water, heated by geothermal vents here. Occasionally this water erupts onto the surface and freezes in the cold vacuum, covering the planet with tiny ice crystals. IceBallMoon1 "Ulia" (%70 of Eeloo, like Pluto) - Ulia is an ice-ball in a binary orbit with Eeloo. Although Ulia's surface is almost entirely covered in ice, it is so far away from Kerbol it could never naturally heat up. With conditions as extreme as these, the chances of sustaining life on this planet are virtually none-existent. Even if Ulia has calmed down after millions of years, it would probably still take terraforming to introduce any form of life. Abbandon - A small yellow-white star, Abbadon is relatively similar to Kerbol. Aphrodite - Aphrodite is a Valentina's favorite planet. Because she very like pink color. Violetta - When scientists has discovered this planet, they thought that it is more one analog of planet Eve, which they find near other stars every day. But later spectral analyzing has shown that on the this planet there is oxygen. And the purple color is likely to cause single-celled purple algae floating in the atmosphere of this planet. Nix - This dry planet has no signs of life. But its atmosphere contains oxygen! That is really strange... Icy - Aptly named, Icy is the coldest body in the Abbandon System. Although there is a thick Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere here, Icy remains just that. GasDwarf1 "Evis" (Tiny Jool, but Red) - A tiny gas giant orbiting just inside Abbandon's habitable zone, Evis is designated a "Gas Dwarf" due to it's odd mixture of composition and size. It has two large moons; one is essentially just a lifeless rock, but the other is similar in many ways to our home planet, Kerbin. SilicaMoon4 "Glapanides" (Like Kerbin's Mun) - Glapanides is a rocky moon of Evis. Unfortunately the conditions on this moon make it impossible to sustain life, which is a shame as it's in a good enough position to do so. TerraMoon1 "Taonov" (%50/50 water and land) - A large rocky moon with high gravity and a thin atmosphere. The atmosphere only extends about 2 miles above sea level, and many mountain tops are exposed to the vacuum of space. Native flora live in the deep valleys between mountain ranges. Many of these valleys are isolated, causing an interest amount of biodiversity. Erevate - A relatively large red dwarf star, Erevate allows planets to sustain life much closer to it than Kerbol. Eden - Eden is a green dry planet without oxygen in its atmosphere. But when scientists tried to find life on it, they miraculously discovered unicellular life under ice caps of this planet. Helios - This Moon is covered In seas filled with green algae. Perhaps the microbial life from Eden is not unique to that world? Scientists at KSC seem to think so. Sehera - Sehera is a very hot and dry planet named after the Kerbal god of the Sun. Its yellow soil contrasts with its green atmosphere. IceGiant3 "Aurilia" (Green and Yellow, Smaller than Jool but bigger than GasDwarf1) - Aurilia is a Calm and serene Ice giant at the farthest reaches of the Kerbol System. Its Green and Yellow atmosphere reminds Kerbals of the once gas giant Jool. IcyTerraMoon1 "Luspadus" (Tidally Heated, VERY cold) - A moon with a nitrogen and chlorine atmosphere, Luspadus is tidally heated by Aurilia and has a small ocean around it's Equator. This moon is currently devoid of life, but there's an abundance of resources, many of which are usually quite rare on Kerbin. Life is certainly possible on Luspadus, as the conditions are right, so this moon is a prime destination for any Kerbal colonization in the future. SilicaMoon7 "Cloebos" (Like Dres) - Cloebos is another moon suffering from "Dresitis" IceDesertMoon3 "Suspore" (Like Duna but Brown) - Suspore is a Katney-like moon orbiting Aurilia that is extremely cold. Comet4 "VL-624" (Captured Comet) - VL-624 is rarely shown or talked about, but it's surface is truly - alien. Gargantua - Gargantua is a massive, rapidly spinning black hole and the largest black hole in the Kerbal Galaxy. Pantagruel - A tiny white dwarf star orbiting Gargantua. Miller's Planet - Miller's Planet is a water world with extreme tides; Troughs measure mere inches, whereas Peaks can be miles high. Mann's Planet - Mann's planet is a icy world with multible layers - one of which has life. Unfortunately this data is a lie, and this planet is barren. Edmund's Planet - Edmund's planet is a dry but hospitable world that could be Kerbalkind's future home. BrownDwarf1 "Faetis" (Like Wolf 359, Replaces Nim) - Faetis is a brown dwarf - a mix between gas giant and star. It has bands of Nuclear fusion in its atmosphere, but it is not a star. It is the largest planet in the Abbandon System. OceaniaMoon2 "Ailiv" (%70 water, %30 Land) - Ailiv is a oceanic moon with huge storms. Extreme weather conditions and violent tectonic plate movement make this planet unsuitable for any life. But this planet is still fairly young, so perhaps once it has aged and calmed down a bit, life might find its way to this world. Super-TerraMoon1 "Theobos" (3-5x Kerbin size and GeeASL) - A large rocky moon that is about 4 times larger than Kerbin with high gravity and an atmosphere of mostly Carbon Dioxide. The planet is known for its many active volcanoes, crushing atmosphere, and a surface temperature enough to melt some probes, and certainly Jedidiah. Supercomputers at KSC were fed data from Theobos to calculate possible missions for brave Kerbonauts. After a few seconds, they all said, "Do not land here." IceDesertMoon2 "Athion" (Colder than Duna, Yellow/Orange) - Athion is a tidally heated desert moon with water. Surprisingly, life hasn't managed to find its way on this moon. The conditions are perfect however, so all it takes now is time and the right trigger. Asteroid3 "Oblars 738" (Captured Asteroid) - Oblars 738 is another uninteresting red asteroid. Comet3 "Smiri"(Large Captured Comet) - Smiri is a blue-green comet orbiting Faetis. There might be frozen microbes underneath the surface of the ice here. Oblok - One of the largest stars known, Oblok is a beautiful blue giant star. Lava/DesertPlanet1 "Krush" (Binary Planet with Clone that share atmosphere, new maps and orbits) - Scosucury is a tiny ball of rock in a binary orbit with Scadulea. Scosucury's surface is practically equivalent to Kerbin's Mantle, both in temperature and geological makeup. Lava/DesertPlanet2 "Krush-B" (Binary Planet with Clone that share atmosphere, new maps and orbits) - Scadulea is made of the same materials as Scosucury, but Scadulea is slightly smaller. Aelion - A large gas giant that very similar to Pre-Krakening Jool, except for its color. Phoenix - The main feature on this scorched world is the large lakes of molten rock. Phoenix is a world dominated by volcanic and tectonic activity. Volcanoes regularly dot the surface and erupt constantly. Sunflower - Sunflower is very close to it's neighbor moon - Phoenix. Due to gravitational stress from it, the surface of this strange world tends to crack and split. Opete - Opete is a medium sized star. Poseidon - A large blue gas giant, Poseidon is a calm planet orbiting Opete. Hypat - Hypat is a large desert moon orbiting Poseidon. Osiris - Osiris is a Neutron Star. Neutron stars are the densest and smallest stars known to exist in the universe; with a radius of only about 30 km, they can have a mass of about two times that of Kerbol. Ida - Ida is a small rocky planet orbiting Osirus. Isus - Isus is a large blue ice giant bombarded by its rings and Osiris. Rocko - This moon is being ripped apart by Isus. Volco - Volco is a small silicate moon orbiting Isus. Polaris - A hot, bright star nearing the end of it's life. Rumors abound that it was once very much like Kerbol before it flared up and began to die. Pandora - A very hostile planet with acidic seas and atmosphere consisting of nitrogen, the thick atmosphere of Pandora hides most of its ground. Ryla - A large gas giant that is primarily composed of hydrogen with a substantial amount of helium. It is believed to have a rocky core roughly 2000 km in diameter but otherwise has no defined surface. Surrounding the planet is a thick planetary ring system that orbits around the equator, likely as a result of two large moons colliding with each other. Hoth - Small moon of Ryla. Hoth can provide one of the most beautiful views in the whole galaxy! Cite - Cite is a young rocky planet with a diameter around the size of Eve. It is a heavily cratered world with many impact sites over 100 km in diameter. Smaller impact sites were probably much more numerous in the past but they have since eroded away. Water covers roughly a quarter of the surface, with most of it located in craters, thereby retaining the majority of Cite's habitation near them. Life is quite abundant on Cite, only the vast expanses of desert seem devoid of fauna. If you would like to help code or texture, please comment here and I will PM you a Discord Server link and we can talk. Now working with me: Nansuchao, Artyomka15, TheCanineCraver Thanks to @TheJangleMan for giving permission to me to use K.G.R. assets in this pack. Thanks to the creator of fantasynamegenerators.com for an AMAZING Online R.N.G. (Random Name Generator) and R.D.G. (Random Description Generator).

So, I love planet packs. I love exploring new worlds, establishing communications, and setting up colonies. I love habitable worlds. I love strange and interesting new worlds. I appreciate some fine little dust balls, and I enjoy gazing at the majesty of real purdy gas giants. But my problem has always been that new planet packs might add a half dozen (or more) new planets, and I only really want a couple of them. Some huge packs only add a handful I REALLY love, and many packs put new planets so far away from Kerbin that It would take ten thousand Kerbal lifetimes to get there, or leave the solar system so chaotically arranged that planets actually collide (or, you know... just kind of.. clip through each other... like wall hacks.) Some packs use their own textures, some reference CTTP, or their own textures. Sometimes, the same exact artwork is loaded in multiple different folders, saturating my system memory with three instances of the same high-def picture of some lovely, lovely dirt. So I built my own solar system in an attempt to capture exactly what I want in my little sandbox. I call it "Kerbal Impossible Solar System." I wanted many planets, and even new systems to explore. I wanted a veritable smorgasbord of habitable planets to colonize, recourse rich bodies to exploit, dangerous worlds for Jeb to go give his life for the cause on. Well, I've filled it up with planets that many of the very talented modders have created and shared with us. I've combined and organized all the extra resources that they use, like textures and decals, and such to reduce the memory overhead. I've adjusted the science values to be more appropriate, and I'm in the process of creating descriptions and appropriating mining resources. After that, I'll be working on setting up EVE atmospheres and Scatterer configs. Maybe I'll add mod support for things like research bodies, if I'm feeling especially willing to punish myself. At this point, I've put a pretty large amount of work into this project, and I would share it so you can see where I'm at so far... I totally would... But, I've stolen, BLATANTLY STOLEN the fine work of MANY of the modders in this community. I haven't asked anyone for permission to use their planets in a pack yet, because I wasn't originally planning on uploading this. While I am sure *some* of the victims of my wanton theft would be happy to share their colormaps, heightmaps, biome maps, and Normals, others, I am sure, would not allow me to make use of their artwork and files. I'll start asking some of the folks that I have... erm, "Borrowed from" and see if they mind lending the fruits of their labors to this ridiculous enterprise, but I don't suspect that every planet artist will be on board to have their products so shamelessly exploited. We shall see. So, I guess I'm just kind of posting, first of all, to test the waters and see if this is a project that would generate any real interest. Those in search of realism obviously wouldn't be interested, but there are plenty of other packs that strive for realism. This pack seeks to maximize the things that an intrepid explorer, a true capitalist... a conquest minded imperialist, would appreciate. Even just people who want to get out and explore, don't really care where they end up, and don't want to have to worry about transfer windows, or plan gravity assists Kerbin years ahead of time. And secondly, to ask if anyone has planets that I may use? Maybe you are the creator of a popular planet pack, and would be happy to let me pilfer your artstuffs. Maybe you've made planets in the past, but never found a place to put them to good use. Maybe you are just really good with GIMP and like making planets, and wouldn't mind helping me fill in the gaps with some custom requests. Anything helps. (I can't actually draw / draft planets myself, so I really am totally dependent on the charity of this community if you guys want to see this come into fruition. Of course, credit will be given where it is due.

Hello guys. I am working on a new mod that adds in a temperate gas-giant. The mod deletes Duna, but makes up for the loss of the planet with a gas-giant and four moons! I will release the mod soon. Currently, I have not added in Biomes or Science Defs, so the mod is complete if you cheat and play in sandbox mode. However, I need to finish painting up biome maps and making at least some custom science defs before I release the mod to the community. I appreciate your patience. Here are some shots of the planets: Bervin: Alru: Goval: Unox: Some shots of Cavran: Oh yeah, it has been out for a while, just forgot to post it here. https://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/ksp-cavran-planet-pack
