I mean. I'm curious to whether Iltan has more terrain colors than the preview image suggests, and if there's a high variety in terrain scatter--basically if it comes with its own SVE and SVT. Please, no one take my SVE suggestion seriously. I don't want there to be too much hype now.

@Yargnit maybe it's a game prerelease bug that somehow returned or wasn't quite resolved? Your problem sounds like one that absolutely shouldn't happen. Clearly you've staged your engines and not cheated into orbit as suggested below. (I couldn't quote directly from that thread, so anon quotes and thread link) Perhaps a screenshot of your GameData folder will help.

@The White Guardian I'm curious as to how many features Iltan is getting to qualify for 16 biomes. I'd think you're secretly collaborating with some epic planet makers.

@The White Guardian CaptRobau is indeed likely setting the design trend(s) with planet packs. I'm motivated to make biome maps in forgiving palettes like he's done but I've already inserted dev-named biomes on the two nearest planets to the homeworld Gael in GPP. I'd say 16 biomes for a Laythe-like world is massive. What are you putting in there to justify that?

What better way to make a grand entrance on the forums than to deploy a base that does the Harlem Shake? : D Have a medal, @Sybok Over the last two or three days I've been working on ResearchBodies integration for the Galilean planets. (Said mod is currently in a pre-release state but works just fine.) In a dedicated science game I ended up developing this kontraption on my early quest to earn enough science to unlock the telescope and proper parts for a lifter and probe body. The 5 capsules exist to prove enough Ec to transmit all science, per KSC biome/per launch until I unlocked batteries. The craft itself is a VTOL meant to skate against surface to the next biome until I unlocked any form of wheels. I never thought I'd need an engine for its alternator as badly as in this. And behold, I have the power to make science with a cardboard box and a microwave oven. Ultimately and finally succeeding I get to witness the initial unlock of a targeted body, in this case, the innermost planet, then after, one of the outer planets and all its moons with an experimental upgrade patch for the telescope. The range increased but its usage cost did not.

@Yargnit Do you have SCANsat installed? It has a feature that affects the orbital survey part and disables stock scanning and stock planet overlay. Also what planet are you orbiting? My guide post mentions the challenge of knowing where not to expect certain resources. That means they will be nil or nearly nil in some places.

@Norcalplanner Sigma Dimensions support is already nearly here. @MaxL_1023 I'm kinda wishing you came around sooner. Your knowledge and practical in-game work are astounding. @Motokid600 I'd recommend you install the bundled SVE. That is optional but SVT is built-in.

@eddiew With a little training, and purposely turning toward and a little past the 90­deg heading you can save yourself from a fair portion of the default inclination you'll get. That being said, I've only begun to conventionally launch things after test-launching SSTOs several times. Lol Kerbin. But that sounds like a nice mission, dude

This is my biggest, the Space Center Minmus for KSP 1.1.3, built with MKS Lite, Procedural Parts, and an "EL-Lite" patch to remove redundant parts. It sought to provide much habitation space, modest fuel supplies and both a launchpad and runway. It has deployed a Jool-bound ship and two "flying saucer" space taxis to carry crew between itself, a Kerbin station and a lesser Mun-base. I can still use them all but I'll need to un-break the save it's in. However, I believe this is my coolest, the Muna Industria. I had much more fun (and much more to do overall) with this one. To reduce its own part count the tanker responsibilities are relegated to an associated mining vessel, Graveheart, and the single launchpad area is a linear region bound by survey stakes. There are more Near Future things and less MKS-Lite as I began anticipating MKS-Lite's death with the coming of KSP 1.2.

I've been there in testing, mainly with karbonite jet engines. The atm pressure is so low even ASL that takeoff is a pain, but I kinda like that the issue is there. It adds uniqueness.

@OhioBob Augustus has 1.4 atm so it should be quite capable of sustaining its lakes. But does the 1/3 gravity make a big difference now? for making the lakes tiny it shouldn't be harder than to merely change the deformity and (ASL) offset parameters...but if there's going to end up a lot of shallow lakes that'll be some trouble. But I can share that part of the workload... I did it for Gael, and Niven is closer than Duna to Kerbin. @MaxL_1023 @Galileo There is already a small water presence in Niven's oceans but none in atmosphere. It would be easy to insert/bump those. Small question. If there's water vapor does that automatically mean there's Oxygen to enable jet engines?

Lol. @The-Doctor I'm not. But when you mentioned this mod in the thread of the other, I had to come looking. I needed to know what Mother is.

By mojo I mean epic skills. But enough of that. I think we may have totally hijacked the thread.

I changed the spoiler contents. Shows more galaxy. If you have the Photoshop mojo then go ahead.

Custom universe background @Jiraiyah and thanks @Galileo *ninja'd*

Needs a Poodmund skybox if you ask me.

It's.... it's.... The @ShadowZone !!! : D That's +1 thing to really keep an eye on YouTube for.

No. Just install the mod. That's it. The Sigma code is already there inside Karen, waiting for the mod so it can activate. I contemplated setting up a binary system once so I've looked into things.

@Jiraiyah O_O you've done it. Sigma and Plock? ...Sigma Binary? Just install that mod and the binary mode will activate. It's already in OPM as a dormant feature.

Woah!

I'm sorry, I can't help you there. I've only begun to learn to write MM patches.

I honestly don't know. I've charted the SMAs of all GPP, stock and OPM planets but I didn't chart all those Ap's and Pe's. 10 million km should be fine.

It should be as simple as changing the SMA values of one or both of each pair of planets whose orbits intersect. The GPP crew won't be too fond of it though.

@Jiraiyah GPP is marked as incompatible with OPM because some orbits in both packs will intersect. That and their aesthetics don't mix.

@DarkOwl57 The biome map says explodium, but the resource mods say karbonite. And karbonite is fuel and a hydrokarbon so maybe Eve is quite alive (or quite friendly to life support mods) for a deadly planet.
