A blind career unlike any other: GregroxMun's Whirligig World with ResearchBodies, 1.6.1.

[darwinpatrick]

Hello everyone! This is my first time using the forums extensively, so bear with me if it takes me a bit to get the hang of things. For a few weeks I've been preparing for my boldest career mode yet.

An absurd homeworld in an alien solar system... I've played some planet packs in my day but this is going to be a whole new level of fun.

I'm going to be playing on 1.6.1- which I haven't updated to yet.

 

But here's the big thing that's gonna ice the cake for me.

I haven't looked at the other planets. I'm playing with ResearchBodies and I'm going in blind. I've never played with ResearchBodies, so that'll be fun to figure out too.

All I know is that Mesbin is big, but spins super fast, and there's no atmosphere.

 

It might take a little bit to get a real post up, but I invite you all to join me on my journey!

Alright! Getting my bearings. I was never given the option to choose how many planets showed up, so maybe that means ResearchBodies didn't work? Either way, there's some moons missing in-game from the list we were given.

 

I don't know what features are implemented where. Does Tyepolbynar really only have two moons I can see? and they don't have orbits? I think I'll just have to explore...

 

First pictures from my getting my bearings.

...I can't put pictures in here. This is discouraging.

 

Wait, I think if I put a link to an imgure picture in here...

Yes! I did it! I hate how complex that is! But anyway, here we go!

Update:

 

Something's not right here and I don't know what. ResearchBodies has been behaving badly with Whirligig, and as such I've decided to take it off entirely. I will be deleting/abandoning this thread and creating a new one without ResearchBodies.

I'm sorry I couldn't get it to work, but it's just not going to happen.

researchbodies gives you the option to set starting number of planets in the initial difficulty options when starting a new game towards the bottom of the list and requires contract configurator.  it's a simple mod and has never given me any issues, even when using it with multiple planet packs simultaneously.
