How many probe cores do you have? Do you have Smart A.S.S on?

Hello, my command pod (Mk 1-2) is currently sinking to the bottom of the ocean. It does not do this in stock. I suspect is has something to do with StockBugFixModules or StockPlus as it only seems to sink using these. Any help? - - - Updated - - - Quick update: It has something to do with these mods: Vens Stock Revamp Stock Bug fix Modules Stock Plus Alternis Kerbol, although I don't think it is this as oceans were fine.

In answer to, what do you wanna call your star/ what is your system?. I think I will have: The star is Kod, named after its wobbling godlike appearance and its binary, Dok In orbit are a blue gas giant, a terrestrial planet with life and a comet that has escaped the star system and is now orbiting Kerbol at a peri apsis above Eeloo.

Wow... 0 Just links that bore me... No offence!!

Yes do that... But it is part of the Forum, so only moderators can change it I think. 6

Just saying, I have contracts showing up for the barycenters... Fix?

Hello! I really love this mod, but there are a few things I need to say: 1. The bug with Kopernicus and moving Kerbin should be stated in the original post 2. Eeloo and Vall should have a binary template with SigmaBinary mod. Just to make it more realistic Other than that, OPM is squashed into this and Eeloo is on a massive orbit around Sarnus and collides with Kerbol on quite a few occasions. Quick fix for this? And Trans-Keptunian too! And I would like the lighting to be dampened it is a bit bright... Edit: On that note, is Minmus supposed to have a SOI of 42km?

It might be because of where I put the files... template.cfg comes before AlternisKerbol/Tylo (folder). And template2.cfg comes after AlternisKerbol/Eeloo. Both were in the AlternisKerbol folder. AlternisKerbol also only had :FOR[AlternisKerbol] so it's definatly bad MM coding on my behalf

Ok good to know. - - - Updated - - - And by the way the binary system is fixed when putting @Kopernicus:NEEDS[sigmaBinary]:AFTER[sigmaBinary&AlternisKerbol] in the binary cfg.

Ok oops My bad - - - Updated - - - Actually looking at that is it possible to make the Sun binary with Jool without setting PARENT_BODY? - - - Updated - - - And now rotations messed up WITH PARENT_BODY set to Sun for TyloDuna binary..

I was trying to make a barycentre for Tylo and Duna from Alternis Kerbol mod. Ill give you the code for the cfgs, but they have not been changed: Tylo: // Apply this patch after the Kopernicus mod is loaded @Kopernicus:FOR[AlternisKerbol] { // We want to make Tylo occupy the point in space that Duna usually occupies. @Body[Tylo] { flightGlobalsIndex = 9288 @Template { @name = Duna } @Template { removePQSMods = VertexColorMapBlend,PQSLandControl } @Properties { biomeMap = AlternisKerbol/Tylo/PluginData/TyloBiomes.png @Biomes { Biome { name = Lowlands value = 1.0 color = 1,1,1,1 } Biome { name = Highlands value = 1.1 color = 0,0,0,1 } } radius = 1103000 geeASL = 4.035 description = Tylo is an insanely massive so-called "Superkerbin" planet. With four gees of surface gravity and a thin atmosphere, aerospace engineers fear it. Its atmosphere is so thin that it won't slow you down, but it is so thick that it will burn you up on re-entry.

Umm.. That's big...

From what I've seen, bigger rockets. I haven't actually returned with kerbals yet, but if you want to, go big.

Yes do that!!! 10

Nope. Monster? - - - Updated - - - EDIT: monstah

I return to Kerbin to see what I have done, and use the power of the multiverse to repair Kerbin. Unknown to me, the Sun just collided with Kerbol... But the Sun is only a few million tons heavier... *mind explodes*
