Beyond Home Beyond Home (BH) is the final chapter in the story of Kerbalkind. It can be played independently of Before Kerbin and After Kerbin. Billions of years after Kerbol exploded, a few colony vessels survived and found a new system to inhabit. The Tempus System. The Tempus System is a binary star system, slightly larger than the Kerbol System. The two stars Destiny and Fate orbit each other, almost like a slow dance. These stars are the heart of this expansive system. The Kerbals have begun the colonization of two celestial bodies: Rhode, the home planet, and its moon Lua. Rhode's gravity is slightly less than Kerbin's. Its atmosphere is slightly thinner. It's a lot more modest than what the Kerbals were used to billions of years ago, however it is still a beauty to marvel at. Your task is to explore the Tempus System and uncover its secrets. Beyond Home is a planet mod for Kerbal Space Program that raises the bar by achieving many things once thought impossible. Each planet has custom surface features that the player can explore. These can range from simple rocks to vast structures and crashed starships. Each planet has had at least a week (or more) of time dedicated to making it perfect for the player to explore. Beyond Home may sound easy, but leaving the home planet is no longer the challenge. The journey is what counts - especially what lies at the end of it. Your focus will not be learning how to fly, it will be putting those skills to the test in wild, unique environments never seen before. See the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9llIkFVXAE Trailers There are a number of trailers for Beyond Home. Here is the main trailer and a few popular ones, including upcoming features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9llIkFVXAE - The main trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm6vzBzuGGU - Gas giant overhaul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRoTx2NC9Jc - Mining base https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3_hijMmj04 - Cities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5PSsIbgoBs - The original trailer I also have my own career mode series where I play the planet pack as a player myself: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfbvijUql4RUpLsJLJ-Zdenn6ArbOPik World-Firsts Beyond Home is the first planet mod to feature a fully functional binary star system at its core. Not only this, but entire structures can be procedurally generated on each planet - yes, you can land on those floating islands. Beyond Home comes with its own visual suite, meaning you can finally bring out the most performance you possibly can with one of the most optimized planet mods in the community. As well as this, Beyond Home offers the ability to collect bonus science rewards from various biomes across every planet - you will know where the challenge lies. There is even the option for you to launch from the moon of the home planet to aid with the system expansion and exploration. This planet pack is entirely about exploration and discovering vast, dynamic worlds that actually feel alive. Structures that indicate that an alien race has been here before you exist. The lore is extremely extensive. And yes, there are easter eggs! Compatibility Beyond Home is compatible with (or provides support for) the following mods: Environmental Visual Enhancements Scatterer Rescale (The recommended rescale factor is 2.5 or 3.7) Distant Object Enhancement Kopernicus Expansion Sigma Replacements: Skybox Kerbal Konstructs Astrogator (Use for transfer windows!) KS3P Principia - Download the patch for Beyond Home here: https://pastebin.com/m2QAyA7S Beyond Home is not compatible with: External visual mods (SVE, AVP, SVT...) External planet mods (JNSQ, GPP, GPO...) Scale Beyond Home is built at the stock scale. Each planet has been hand crafted for use within Kerbal Space Program. Beyond Home avoids all of the pitfalls that the stock planet has and sustains incredible detail even at the stock scale. There is also support for Sigma Dimensions configurations, where the recommended rescale factor is 2.5x or 3.7x for a challenge. You can download Sigma Dimensions here: https://github.com/Sigma88/Sigma-Dimensions/releases Installation Please navigate to the following pages to download and install the version of each dependency for your KSP version: Required To Function Beyond Home - https://github.com/Gameslinx/BeyondHomePlanetMod/releases Parallax - https://github.com/Gameslinx/Tessellation/releases/tag/1.0.1 - DOWNLOAD PARALLAX 1.0.1, NOT THE LATEST VERSION Kopernicus (CHOOSE ONE): FOR 1.10.1 - https://github.com/prestja/Kopernicus/releases Upon starting the game YOU MUST go to settings and enable terrain scatters and turn the density up to 100% for key features of the mod to work!

The Plod System [1.7.3] I would highly recommend this review of the mod by KottabosGames. If you're reading this KottabosGames thanks again! What does this mod add? The Plod System adds a binary Sedna analogue dwarf planet to the far solar system. Plod: An icy, green dwarf planet with massive craters and looming mountains. Its orbit is giant and elliptical. Many blame Jool... or could it have been another hidden planet? Oob: Plod's binary companion, orbiting so close to Plod that orbiting in low-Plod-orbit is a necessity. Giant ice spikes jut into the world's horizon, segmenting the world's smoother, purpler terrain. Ninkle: A dark bluish-purple world that orbits Plod with minimal gravity. Its lowlands contrast nicely with exposed green under-ice, hinting at its past and formation. Tebos: A smooth, small world with a bright lump on one side. It is navy blue in appearance, with exposed yellow-brown under-ice and a tall, white mound on the side of the world, which the moon's tiny gravity could not conform. Lia: The oddball. This moon is though to have had severe out gassing and plumage in its early years. The surface is pink, and covered almost everywhere with sharp, spikey terrain. Fear not however, the moon's minuscule gravity makes the spikes much less dangerous than they could have been.

Download The Varuta System (v0.3.0): https://www.spacedock.info/mod/2088/The Varuta System The Varuta System is a mod that adds the planet Varuta and its many moons to the game. Kopernicus is required for this mod to work! What are the planets and moons are included in the varuta system you ask? Well here they are: Varuta: Is one of the larger planets in the kerbol system, located between duna and dres. It is host to many unique and intresting moons, all of which should be explored Theonus: Is the closest and of the more intresting looking moons of Varuta. Its surface is partially similar to Varuta. It also has some extreme terrain, so be careful when trying to land! Niven Olten: Is the second and largest moon of Varuta, at almost 1/3 the size of its planet. Olten might look boring at first, but it has awesome views of Varuta and other moons from the surface. Deaphus: Is one of the smaller moons in the Varuta System. It has regions of blue, which might be filled with Apatite under the surface. Like Theonus, it has extreme terrain. Rebos: The smallest moon of Varuta, it has a relatively smooth surface and is most likely a captured asteroid due to its orbit and surface And Oltimos: Its intresting in the fact that it is a sub-satellite of Olten. It orbits at an inclined orbit around Olten, and has a SOI of only 14km and is only 5km across. If you have any questions about the mod or any problems/glitches you have, ask me below. LICENSE: MIT

Planet Dunope v0.2.0 by Johnster Space Program is my first mod for kerbal space program which adds a new planet to the kerbin system, Dunope! Enjoy exploring this small, nearby planet! Watch my official first trailer for the mod here: Ever needed a planet that was in close proximity, had relatively low gravity, and is small, but not too small? Well then, Planet Dunope is what your looking for! Kopernicus is required to use this mod, which can also be downloaded on CKAN along with it. Dependencies (You need this for the mod to work): Kopernicus 1.6.1-2 https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/releases What I'm hoping to add in future releases: A Moon or Two Around Dunope A Different/Improved Texture for Dunope Some Improvement Changes To Dunope This is my first mod so if there are any problems with downloading or using the mod, you can't download this anymore anyways. Download Planet Dunope v0.2.0 Here: https://www.spacedock.info/mod/2085/Planet Dunope

Simple poll: Would you like to see another gas planet besides Jool? If so describe the moon(s) you would want in the GP2 system. FYI : I plan to do a poll almost once a month because of how popular (kinda) this was. Hint for next poll (minimally encoded, I'm not THAT nice): Wait, wait, check my other new poll now:

Sooooo I heard about Kopernicus recently (~1 week ago) and attempted to write my own planet code, using The White Guardian's tutorial. It would be nice if somebody posted example code or looked at my code. I am creating a planet called "Hysphenia", a terrestrial planet with no atmosphere orbiting a polar orbit around the sun. (Using a spoiler format here because it's long) I think that's right...

Gilly Plus is a mod that remakes Gilly to be blue, fixes the timewarp crap and adds craters! just in case you ever suffer from Gilly-is-boring-and-not-blue-enough-itis! https://imgur.com/gallery/PEFIMGV Pics for Clicks Download: https://spacedock.info/mod/2046/Gilly Plus Kopernicus is the only dependency Also, this does remake Gilly's surface, so any spacecraft on Gilly should be launched into a stable orbit before downloading this mod.

Hello I would like to present my WIP planet named Omiea. No pictures yet(it only shows up as a featureless ball in game) this is mostly just a test mod although I will see how it goes and if I'm happy with it, I might continue to develop it. Roadmap- Making the planet science defs scatterer configs EVE ???

Tilt'Em Adds planetary axial tilt for KSP planets Licence: MIT (don't even ask me for permission to fork it ) Download link Installation instructions Source code I always wanted to have planetary axial tilt with the default planets but I've always read that it was impossible to do it on unity. Principia managed to do it, but you have to use it's cool but complex n-body physics. This mod adds axial tilt to the default planets and keeps the default KSP 2-body physics. Follow the installation instructions to check how to install it and how to edit the planet tilts for each individual planet

So im looking for a large planet pack that runs quickly. I'm looking for quantity over quality, and the mod needs to be 1.4.5. Send me your suggestions!

A mod that aims to recreate and add the Darwin system from the book "The Expedition" by Wayne Douglas Barlowe. So far i have only the star (Which will be a binary in the future, like in the book) and a place holder Darwin IV orbiting it. To-do list: 1) Make a better Darwin 4. 2) Add two moons of Darwin 4. 3) Add the gas giants. 4) Replace the star with a Binary. Dev-Team: @Pkmniako - As Map Master. Special thanks to: Wayne Barlowe for creating such an amazing book. @Fdkhio for the Logo. Discord Server of the KSP Sub-Reddit for support.

This is a list of the top five planet packs in my opinion. 1: Kerbal Star Systems Kerbal Star Systems is a mod that turns the Kerbol system into a bigger, more realistic place. There are 125+ Stars Planets and Moons, each crammed with detail and effort. You can get it here 2: Galileo's Planet Pack Galileo's Planet Pack is an amazing mod adding several interesting planets, with a super-Kerbin and, as it deletes all original planets, your granted habitable moon. You can get this one here 3: After Kerbin After Kerbin puts the Kerbol System 4 billion years into the future, and Kerbol is a red giant. You can get this mod here 4: New Horizons New Horizons is a mod that makes the Kerbol system revived. It adds 19 extra bodies, including an object that Kerbin itself orbits. This special mod is downloaded here 5: Xenonclave's Planet Collection Xenonclave's Planet Collection, otherwise known as XPC, adds two planets and 5 moons around Stock planets. You can get this planet pack here

This mod turns the Kerbol system into a more realistic representation of the Real Solar System. Moho has a new texture, Gilly is moved, and there are more outer planets? Also it's all inclined? That's just part of this mod. Download license = CC-BY-SA

First problem so far: @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures You know how to make Coronas, and I even used your Valentine corona as a template for Kerbolus', so why is this not working?

So I'm currently making a system rearrangement thing that doesn't use all of the stock planets, so I wanted to remove the ones I'm not using from the game. I've tried twice with no success, so I was just wondering how to do it in 1.4.3 if it's even possible.

The Homestead system will at one point be an entirely new solar system. Also, a mod created entirely by people under the age of 14! Credit to Mattdiction for the system idea

I'm new to making ksp planets and I was wondering if I could turn a model and textures into a ksp planet thank you.

Is there any way to Target a planet in camera tools (so I can zoom into it and take a nice shot) or, if not, is there a mod that can do it?

Let me ask you - what do you think of the stock planets? If I was to answer my own question, I would (constructively, of course!) say that they're... Not exactly in tip top condition. There are many things that can be improved about them, such as the actual terrain, the detail or how Gilly and bop look like mud balls instead of asteroids. However this isn't just about Gilly or bop. This thread is about how badly the planets need a makeover. As some of you may know, I'm a planet modder. I make planets. Now put into perspective, I would like to compare Kerbin (and also duna) with a planet I created. The reason why I am comparing two planets is because squad didn't actually 'make' kerbin. Kerbin's colour texture comes from the Libnoise first example, not squad. Now then. Assuming that duna was created by a much more skilled creator than myself, with more experience, qualifications and is employed to do exactly this sort of work, why am I able to do better using paint and Microsoft word. I'm not joking. I made a relatively decent planet with two free programs in 2 hours. I'm not tooting my own horn or saying that squad is lazy or bad, I'm saying they could do much, much better. I shall elaborate. Planets consist of three textures - a height, normal and colour map. The normal map is generated from the completed heightmap. The other two are created manually. I created the height map with Paint and Paint alone. No filters, no layer system. I just used a paint brush and drew on my texture. Squad would likely use Photoshop, or gimp at the least to make their planets. Maybe even a professional drawing program. They'd certainly not fire up paint and set to work. The colour map, admittedly, was created with Adobe After Effects, however this exact effect can also be achieved using the planet config, albeit it is more time consuming. Here is the video where I create the planet, then I'll talk about my next point. Now, by no means am I trying to show off. That is not the purpose of this thread at all. If I can make a planet which looks arguably just as good, if not better than kerbin in 2 hours, squad can do the same with their professional tools and heightened knowledge of the game. "But Linx, the planets do not have to look good, they just have to be there for us to land on" Alright, so who goes to duna and says "actually yeah, this is a good spot I'll visit again! I love the terrain here, the colour and detail is simply breathtaking. I love this planet!" Right. Barely anyone. Because duna is just bump after bump with no variation at all except for the poles. Not to mention that most of the bumps are procedural and not textured, which is just as easy to accomplish (as I used procedural noise mods on my planet, too) Now then, duna is not a particularly interesting planet with much diversity except for the poles being the only difference. I would love for duna to have more colour variation, more evidence of previous water (assuming it is a Mars analogue), more pronounced terrain variation such as mountains, small cracks and such. The same goes for other planets like Dres and tylo. They don't really look very interesting or worth exploring as they have no canyons (Dres has one, but nothing more) or defined mountains. Even Jool needs a facelift! I'd love to also see more craters or evidence of past activity on the planets and moons to make them more diverse and interesting, not to mention that squad MUST rely less on procedural noise mods, as they make the planets and moons incredibly "samey". A balance must be achieved and at the moment, we can be safe to say that the planets are a really weak point in the game, especially since they're supposed to be a substantial goal within the game's progression. I'd like to hear your view on this situation. - Linx.

I recently started trying to figure out how to make a new planet with Kopernicus. Long story short, I've coded the planet but haven't drawn the planet or its biomes. After some searching, I still can't seem to find out how. Any ideas?

I am continuing the mod, again. Most of the team quit and started a new mod. I'm not bashing anyone, okay? Below is the DD post, will be updated quite a bit. I miss @SamBelanger Logo! (Made by a very good and helpful friend!) A very nice header made from a very nice friend. Hello KSP players, here is an interesting mod that adds several star systems, some of which are binary pairs. You may find it unrealistic, but what isn't so in KSP?

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)
