This mod adds a binary sibling to kerbin (Hence the name gemeni) The planet's name is Kerbanon, It is a barren desert, And while dry and dusty it has an oxygen atmosphere and is very suitable for colonization. Kerbanon is almost entirely supportive of career mode as it has complete sciencedefs and biomes.

This mod supports (Can work without): 

 

 

Planned:  Coming Next release, Planned Eventually.,

Small Asteroid Moon, (To replace minmus as kerbanon's moon)

Surface Easter eggs,

Support for scatterer,

 

Known Bugs And Oversights:

Main menu screen is bugged. (Not a serious problem at all... Really it isnt.)

Intense Lag spike on EVA. (Help?)

Visible seams on terrain.

Very interesting idea, will check it out as I get home tonight. Beatiful views of Kerbin! )

One remark: science body mulpiliers for a planet so close to Kerbin ("landedDataValue = 17" ?!) are wa-a-ay too high, IMHO.

 

[_Augustus_]

Okay, that's awesome...

You've really come a long way Daniel.

Try getting a little asteroid moon to orbit Kerbanon, and maybe change the name and texture to be more stockalike? (i.e. procedural)

According to the stockalike naming scheme I've seen, it could be called Aton.

It could have a little asteroid moon called Lith orbiting close enough to stay in it's SOI.

Im not sure about renaming, But the moon idea is great! I already have plans... And this moon is something special

Looks awesome, great work! Although a picture of what the Planet looks like in Map view with it's orbit and all would be nice.

[The White Guardian]

Looks pretty good! However, I'm pretty good with GIMP and with Kopernicus, I bet I could add a sandy texture to the surface in a matter of minutes! So, if you'd like... I'm more than willing to collaborate, I'll do the textue part.

Sure!  I was having trouble with that and could really use some help.

Alrighty then. I'll make a few sand-textures in GIMP (using a special effect that will make them look 3D), download Gemini and add them to the config. I'll play around a little until the results are perfect, then send you a download link for the 'enhanced' Gemini mod, okay?

Got it  should I add you to the author list on space dock?

Yes please! I'll also search for what could be causing the EVA lagspike. I can't guarantee that I'll find the issue, but it's worth trying, isn't it?

Yes it is, thank you.  And I'll add you to the link as soon as I'm using something other than this crappy tablet.

@daniel l. How did yo get the planet and cacti ground scatter to work? Can you provide me an example for my mod Interstellar Adventure Revived?

I think you only have to copy that into your cfg file. Just remember to paste the "Landcontrol" so its inside Pqs/Mods/

Everything's fine over here! I've been messing around with PQSMods for the second Kopernicus Creativity Marathon, but I've also created a sand texture. I have yet to apply it though.

Oh I nearly forgot, I do not (yet) have an account on SpaceDock, will make one right away.

EDIT: made an account, my username is 'The_White_Guardian'.
