Congrats on release! 

[VoidCosmos]

Congrats!

Any reason this cant be used with a stock system?

[Katniss218]

Mmm, that's one spikey asteroid. Certainly an interesting thing to land on

In theory you could use it with stock, but the distances would be all wrong

What would it take to adjust the orbit?

not much really, just change the SMA. If I was porting this for the stock solar system I would also probably kill the inclination

[Gargamel]

Hi @tosha, Per our add-on posting guidelines, you need to state the license in the OP,  thanks.   Grats on the release. 

[Phoenix-D]

Hi, I made a .cfg to place this in the stock system just past the orbit of Dres (with a high but lower inclination- 50% of real) Replace the socttmanly/planets/scott.cfg 's  text with this

I also made a ResearchBodies.cfg. Just put this in the scottmanly folder as scott_ResearchBodies.cfg. Both the same license as the original mod (currently listed as GPL3 on github), feel free to add them to the download or not as your leisure. No github account here to do a request with. I'd make the first one a non-RSS MM patch but I'm not confident enough with MM's syntax to do that to other people's saves.

Thanks!

what a gamer mod

Game finally dont load anymore when drop that into GameData.
(Mod Stock version in 1.81 game version.)

Delete mod, game loads gain.

sorry for the delay, but I'll have a look at that

I had the same problem in 1.10.1.

Stock version.

Installed with CKAN, which installs it in directory scottmanley_NORSS. This is the same directory as the ZIP file on SpaceDock.

That's not the directory that the plugin expects, for example:

cacheFile = scottmanley/Cache/scott.bin

So I renamed the mod directory from scottmanley_NORSS to scottmanley.

Problem solved!

Here it is, in my save with 83 planetary bodies:

The CKAN install did not include the ResearchBodies cfg, so I manually added that too.

I don't know who is responsible for the CKAN install, either the mod maintainer or the CKAN team, but someone should definitely look into that.

Wow, what an insame challenge :p
How much FPS with all of them with RemoteTech, SCANsat,
Science- and EPLStations- and Bases?

Cant remember what my problem was this time.
 

[Amedee]

I used to play with RemoteTech, but don't do that anymore since the stock CommNet.

I do use SCANsat.

I have started a game with ResearchBodies, Tarsier Space Technology (for the space telescopes), KerbalGPS and kOS, and my goals/challenges are:

• Totally unmanned
• All probes controlled by kOS
• No debris left in orbit
• Discover every planetary body with space telescopes
• Full SCANsat scan of every planetary body: polar LEO orbits
• GPS coverage: MEO orbits
• Communication coverage: GEO or semi-synchronous or Tundra or Molnya, depending whether synchronous orbit falls within the SOI. I define semi-synchronous as an orbital period that is a simple fraction of the rotational period, like 1/2 or 2/3.

... should I record this and put it on YouTube? I don't think anyone would be interested though...

I have no clue at all how to display Frames Per Second. Do I need a mod for that or some third party software?

I have to use the Steam overlay, apparently.
