Do I need to add 4x scale configs or does a mod do that automatically? And thanks for the feedback again - the rings were an experiment. I can't scientifically say what caused the rings to be green though. Tomorrow I have quite the limited time, so instead of pushing out another planet I will make biome maps / science values for as many as I can (the boring bit!)

Changelog VERSION 0.3: | | --- | | - IMPORTANT - IF YOU ARE LANDED ON NIEBOS, GET TO A SAFE SPOT! Niebos radius scaled up to 400KM diameter (Just less than Kerbin's) Niebietos moonlet added around Niebos. It's not what it seems from the map view... (easter egg?) Vega will be moved from Niebos's orbit to Olu'um (gas giant) soon, as Niebietos is Niebos's official moon, now. I'm using a new algorithm to calculate noise for Niebietos. It should allow for some great new scenery KNOWN ISSUE - Niebos's ocean is TOO LOW by about 200m. This will be fixed in the next update! KNOWN ISSUE - Niebos's moon (Niebietos) looks perfectly round from the map view, when it REALLY ISN'T - Go visit it, it's awesome! On request of @eloquentJane and @TheEpicSquared - Thanks for the suggestion! Since your idea was awesome, if you want, PM me an easter egg idea. It can be anything appropriate. Just specify which planet you want it on, and what you want it to be (I can't do monoliths yet, though!).

I have a little teaser for you all. You can pretty easily guess what this is, but it's better to post a nice picture of it first! Now I can get it into orbit inside the rings (at the gap), but every now and then it jumps away from them (I think it's because i'm hyper-editing everywhere), which might be bad. So for now, it does orbit through the gap, but isn't nestled inside the rings until/unless i can find a fix for it!

I think you were referring to that Niebos was listed as Tetra? Yeah, my bad! I'm updating the description now changing it from "adds 5 planets" to 6

I'll assume it is an atmosphere curve issue. Maybe Pressure ASL has something to do with it? Thanks for taking a look, though!

Sounds fine to me! Bearing in mind that Niebos is quite a small planet, possibly smaller than laythe, I reckon that's a good idea!

Amazing idea. I could move Tetra there for the time being? (Tetra now orbits Niebos at 14,000,000m)

Hey everyone following the forum thread, version 0.2.1 has been released! May I present you with this picture displaying most of the 'new stuff'!

Hey dude! Awesome mod, I've had great fun with it. The time has come for me to try my own planet pack, but I'm facing some problems with a number of things and nobody has gotten back to me with any solid information so far My first problem: Ony atmospheric planet, the atmosphere is 60,000M high. The sky is completely black even though ambientlight and skycolour have been set to RGBA 0.8 0.8 0.9 1.0. The sky is black during daytime and the atmospheric rim is extremely low. (No scatterer). My second problem: I have noticed that a lot of my terrain is pixelated because of my DDS format (1-bit depth, no alpha). This makes my file size small but makes the height map more pixelated, and thus the terrain. Paint.net won't even open the height maps from OPM. If I save as anything other than DDS 1 bit no alpha, the file size is closing up to 16MBz when my resolution is 4k x 2k. The OPM mod retains a non-pixelated height map and only 5.3mb file sizes for the height maps, and I think this has something to do with the DDS format the author uses. If you could help with these issues, that would be awesome.

It had compatibility in mind! it should work perfectly well along with (outer)PM (nothing should collide). All the planets are within Jool's orbit (for now!), so I don't see any issues they could cause

Info: This mod is completely compatible with Outer Planets Mod, AND any mod that adds planets BEYOND the current stock system. I cannot guarantee how well the mod will work alongside others that use EVE and Scatterer - always install the EVE and Scatterer configs that I distribute AFTER any others! THE BELOW SCREENSHOTS ARE OUTDATED. DON'T JUDGE THE MOD BASED ON THE FOLLOWING SCREENSHOTS, AS IT HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED!

I've released its beta!

The year is 9302. The Mun has been impacted by a huge asteroid and Kerbin is flooded. Begin on an evolved Kerbin. Its continents have moved, its mountains and topography vary drastically. Set many millenia after the Kerbals first took to space, the general culture of former 'Kerbin' has changed drastically. Because of this change, the planet is significantly different - it's known as Gaia and all interplanetary voyages are strictly forbidden by the global government - You must convince them to fly once more. The entire planetary system has overcome a drastic change. A near miss with another star has caused many planets and moons to be captured by Kerbol. Your adventure awaits; take to the stars once more and prove that the eagerly awaiting space-faring Kerbals still have a future. This mod adds more planets and moons to land on whilst keeping the stock feel to the game. I have revisited the entire Kerbin system and added a bit more variation to the different planets and moons, making you feel the joy of exploring them once again.

Thank you so much for your support! I might release a beta some time during the week, I need to have a clear and sort of my folders and make sure that everything works without Hyperedit and EVE (I'm going to add rr configs). As for your query about science values, Dusk and Olei have Biome maps. They're relatively easy to make (take the colormap and have a low colour depth so everything is only 8 or so colours for the science values). I really want to have the biome maps and science values sorted before the beta, so people can use the planets in career mode! (Side note) About the colour schemes, they're generally correct but very rough, especially for Niebos. I'm a terrible 'artist' and I have to rely on the Heightmap for colours (low points are all one colour, high points also, maybe gradients at some places). I'm hoping I can improve the look of the planets further down the line (I'm sure the older ones will get a colouring overhaul at some point) And as for DM Science, Karbonite/Kethane and whatnot, that may be later down the line. The mod is only developed by myself and I have limited time in the week (only around 2-3 hours a day!), but I can hopefully assure you that the planets' configs will be suited for EVE/SVE, the most common science mods (probably DM science) and *possibly* Karbonite/resource mods.

Hello! I've put together an image of some planets I have spent the last 2 weeks making. I would like to ask you guys whether I should compile this and turn it into a mod for you to use. The only reason I am asking this is because the creation is still in its beta/early stages. There are only 5 planets, though they are mostly complete (still lacking biome maps for three of them). I'll add a poll and the images below so you can make a vote!

I can't work out how to do the polar inversion - you say it's easy and requires little input but google isn't returning anything useful for me apart from polar coordinates, which distorts the image differently to what yours looks like. If you could say how you managed to do this to your image, I would be greatful

Hello! I have imported my heightmap from SpaceEngine at 8k and 4k textures (i've tried both), but my planet is very pixellated. Help would be awesome!

Having gone through the same problem myself, I have concluded TheWhiteGuardian's config he shows in the video is either outdated or does not work. To get around the problem, I used some of the config code from the OPM mod (a planet pack), changed the values to suit my planet and use that as a config - don't worry, it isn't stealing unless you use the exact code, so make sure you change it when adding your planet. Edit: This is from my config which works. Use this.

Hello! As an amateur planet creator, I would love to know what programs or methods you use for heightmap assets. I made two planets with SpaceEngine but there's not enough variation or different features possible in the program. If anyone could share how they make their height maps, that would be awesome. Thanks.

Would it be alright if you could say what program you used to get your planet textures? SpaceEngine feels too limited because I can't control where stuff is, only the quantities of it. Thanks!

Here shall lie my Changelog and future plans. Update 1 (current): - Niebos is undergoing a terrain overhaul. Unfortunately I'm going to need help with this. - 8k textures for all planets have been updated - Biome maps for all planets have been created, though they are rough and ugly. - Biome map for Niebos has been removed due to its terrain and colouring issues on the surface. Future plans: Gas giant with 4 bodies. One will be small but with an incredibly high atmosphere - like a gas giant with a solid core. Body 2 will be an ice planet Body 3 will be a small asteroid like Gilly but with water. Body 4 will be a lush, Duna sized planet with oxygen. Suggest more below, I'm open for all kinds of stuff!

I've edited more pictures in. I hope that's better now!
