New in this latest version release-180: 1.) A bugfix to prevent multistar mode from being inadvertantly forced, sometimes preventing the prior releases performance gains. Known Bugs: 1.) Not exactly a bug, but worth mentioning: The Kopernicus_Config.cfg file is rewritten when the game exits. This means any manual (not in the GUI) edits made while playing the game will not be preserved. Edit the file only with the game exited, please. 2.) At interstellar ranges, heat can sometimes behave strangely, sometimes related to map zoom (be careful zooming out). It is best to turn off part heating when traveling far far away. (I am not sure if this is still releavent as of Release-159, feedback welcome). 3.) When zooming out all the way out in map view at interstellar ranges, the navball furthermore sometimes behaves oddly. We are working on this and monitoring all the interstellar bugs actively. (I am not sure if this is still releavent as of Release-159, feedback welcome). 4.) Very Old craft files may complain about a missing module. This is a cosmetic error and can be ignored. Reload and re-save the craft to remove the error. 5.) Sometimes when reloading a quicksave to KSC, you will get the KSC sunken into the ground. This is cosmetic only, another reload of the same save will fix it. (This error has been around forever, just now listing it). 6.) When you uninstall a mod that had installed a Terrain Detail preset you were using, it may be listed still in the Graphics settings as "New Text." This is by design. If it bothers you, please reinstall the mod that setup that preset, or delete settings.cfg and let it regenerate. 7.) Some mods that used custom Terrain Presets may require you to delete your settings.cfg file and reset your settings with this release. This is rare, but can happen. See this post for details Known Caveats: 1.) The 1.12.x release series works on 1.12.x. The 1.11.x,1.10.x,1.9.x and 1.8.x releases are deprecated 2.) Multistar Solar panel support requires an additional config file, attached to release. 3.) As of release-107, scatter density underwent a bugfix on all bodies globally that results in densities acting more dense than before on some select configs. Some mods may need to adjust. Normally we'd not change things like this, but this is technically the correct stock behavior of the node so... if you need the old behavior, see config option UseIncorrectScatterDensityLogic. 4.) As of release-151, polar generation behavior has changed slightly. Though it will be safer overall for new missions, be careful loading existing craft there. This is probably not lethal but I don't want you to be unaware. Maybe make a save just in case? 5.) The "collider fix" as it's called, which fixes the event in which you sink into the terrain on distant bodies, is now on by default. If you really need distant colliders, turn this off, but you'd best have a good reason (I can't think of any). 6.) The particle system was hopelessly broken and has been since sometime past 1.10.x. Few mods used it, so it has been removed completely as of Release-146. 7.) Because we now unpack multipart PQSCity's correctly, you may find some PQSCity structures are in the earth or floating. Report such bugs to your planet pack author as this is an intended change (only cosmetic).

New in this latest version release-179: 1.) More performance and memory optimizations for single star mode. Known Bugs: 1.)

New in this latest version release-178: 1.) Fix an edge case where single-star mode could generate exception spam on Linux systems (yet to see on Windows for some odd reason). Known Bugs: 1.)

New in this latest version release-177: 1.) Multistar mode now activates automatically when more than one star is present, no user intervention needed or required. The old option has been removed entirely. 2.) The ringshader light direction was defaulting to singlestar mode regardless of the actual setting status, or amount of stars. This has been fixed.

New in this latest version release-176: 1.) A small bugfix for the single-star performance improvements (KSC lights weren't turning on at night). 2.) With this one bugfix, and a few days testing, we now consider this experiment stable and are pushing it to CKAN. Known Bugs: 1.)

New in this latest version Bleeding Edge Prerelease release-176 RC2: 1.)

New in this latest version Bleeding Edge Prerelease release-176 RC1: 1.) New parameter added to Kopernicus_Config.cfg + GUI, called UseMultiStarLogic, boolean, default false. This fills the old role of the "download for multistar support" cfg bringing it right into the GUI. People who formerly had that cfg installed should check this box to ensure all is well. The cfg itself is no longer required, and deprecated. 2.) The stock "single star" mode of Kopernicus now is allowed to make more assumptions based on there being only one point of light. Potential performance boost from this, but will remain in testing for a few days as an RC. 3.) The autodensity-calculator for stock bodies has been made aware of Jools abnormal composition, and handles it better now (for those who don't know, stock Jool is pretty... not dense. Like less dense than Saturn. This doesn't align well with realism modes like the autodensity setting). Known Bugs: 1.)

This is a known bug with font rebuilds on scene switches. It's on the issue list for fixing but I don't know what the timeframe may be (I'm not a dev, so can't comment). I'd advise reverting if you are able and are bothered by it.

At least it was just the documentation. Honestly, there would be another hotfix but I'm waiting to figure out how to make the "auto density calculations" I did work on Joolian templated gas giants best (pretty much every gas giant ever is based off the Jool Template, and it has some problems). For those who don't know, if you just linearly scale Jool, things end up pretty unrealistic. It's actually less dense than even Saturn by a good margin (and that's already less dense than liquid water) and ends up with a pretty weak gravitational pull that in things like Principia, result in it losing control of the system rather easily even WITH mitigations like retrobop and co. Hmmm... Of course none of that matters at kerbal scale packs, but when you try to go to realistic densities things get weird fast. For right now i'm just going to warn pack authors who play with this: Jool scales weird into real world densities, and you may have to manually correct it. There's a issue where I am tracking this stuff, and it's also what prompted me to add this feature. See here: https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/issues/590

And then the bugfix... at least it's just misleading docs this time, lol.... Nothing major but worth a hotfix. New in this latest version release-175: 1.) New parameter documentation in autogenerated Kopernicus_Config.cfg and GUI updated correcting some incorrect info. Known Bugs: 1.) Not exactly a bug, but worth mentioning: The Kopernicus_Config.cfg file is rewritten when the game exits. This means any manual (not in the GUI) edits made while playing the game will not be preserved. Edit the file only with the game exited, please. 2.)

New in this latest version release-174: 1.) New parameters added related to scaling Kerbal scale bodies automatically to real world densities (such as the stock system). Please see the config file or GUI for a description of each parameter. They are designed to be used alongside a rescale mod like Sigma Dimensions. If you don't want to play with a real world density system (most don't) you can just ignore this. 2.) Reorganize the GUI to be more sensibly arranged (boolean/checkbox options up top, always). 3.) In short, most the things added in this release are for pack authors to easily make "real world scale" systems, and the end users don't need to touch them, really. Known Bugs: 1.) Not exactly a bug, but worth mentioning: The Kopernicus_Config.cfg file is rewritten when the game exits.

As of release-151, polar generation behavior has changed slightly. Though it will be safer overall for new missions, be careful loading existing craft there. This is probably not lethal but I don't want you to be unaware. Maybe make a save just in case? 5.) The "collider fix" as it's called, which fixes the event in which you sink into the terrain on distant bodies, is now on by default. If you really need distant colliders, turn this off, but you'd best have a good reason (I can't think of any). 6.) The particle system was hopelessly broken and has been since sometime past 1.10.x. Few mods used it, so it has been removed completely as of Release-146. 7.) Because we now unpack multipart PQSCity's correctly, you may find some PQSCity structures are in the earth or floating. Report such bugs to your planet pack author as this is an intended change (only cosmetic). ADDITONAL NOTES ON THE DENSITY CHANGES INTRODUCED THIS RELEASE: I have used these changes in my personal save for some time, so I felt there was no need for testing given I have literally been testing them for months. I also have a "goody pack" people seeking to play in a realistic density universe may find handy. I will link them on my personal file server here below, the configs and what they do are pretty self explanatory, but basically they limit kerbal jump, RCS, and engine strength for a 5x rescaled "density-proper" kerbolar system and include a proper star + sigma dimensions rescale config to go with it. Feel free to customize, and consider the configs open domain. Also, you may want to set the gee-scaling of your kerbals accordingly. https://glacialsoftware.net/KerbolarRescaled/

That may be temprorary though, I'm sure what's holding @Jason Kerman up is the homeswitch system Kopernicus provides right now is friggin awful as far as compatibility. We are working on a vast improvement Kopernicus-side just don't know when it will be done just yet.

@Jason Kerman Kopernicus is getting a few reports that RunSharp.dll is suddenly causing errors in the opposite way, in that it is needed again by some KopernicusExpansion element you are using and causing a refuse to load situation in Kopernicus land. Here is an example log: [LOG 12:29:56.108] [AddonLoader]: Instantiating addon 'PQSModCreator' from assembly 'KopernicusExpansion.RegionalPQSMods' [ERR 12:29:56.110] ADDON BINDER: Cannot resolve assembly: RunSharp, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be9f22c3116c2290 [ERR 12:29:56.110] ADDON BINDER: Cannot resolve assembly: RunSharp, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be9f22c3116c2290 [EXC 12:29:56.113] FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'RunSharp, Version=1.0.0.19, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be9f22c3116c2290' or one of its dependencies.

EDIT: Or not, it didn't fix my users issue, see here: https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/issues/586

I would kindly note that my KSSL project does not have this issue when acting as a launcher bypass, totally not a plug btw. Yeah, a lot of mods break if you don't respect the working directory.

New in this latest version release-173: 1.) Fix yet another bug with the new setting that was causing RSS users grief. Known Bugs: 1.) Not exactly a bug, but worth mentioning: The Kopernicus_Config.cfg file is rewritten when the game exits. This means any manual (not in the GUI) edits made while playing the game will not be preserved. Edit the file only with the game exited, please. 2.) At interstellar ranges, heat can sometimes behave strangely, sometimes related to map zoom (be careful zooming out). It is best to turn off part heating when traveling far far away. (I am not sure if this is still releavent as of Release-159, feedback welcome). 3.) When zooming out all the way out in map view at interstellar ranges, the navball furthermore sometimes behaves oddly. We are working on this and monitoring all the interstellar bugs actively. (I am not sure if this is still releavent as of Release-159, feedback welcome). 4.) Very Old craft files may complain about a missing module. This is a cosmetic error and can be ignored. Reload and re-save the craft to remove the error. 5.) Sometimes when reloading a quicksave to KSC, you will get the KSC sunken into the ground. This is cosmetic only, another reload of the same save will fix it. (This error has been around forever, just now listing it). 6.) When you uninstall a mod that had installed a Terrain Detail preset you were using, it may be listed still in the Graphics settings as "New Text." This is by design. If it bothers you, please reinstall the mod that setup that preset, or delete settings.cfg and let it regenerate. 7.) Some mods that used custom Terrain Presets may require you to delete your settings.cfg file and reset your settings with this release. This is rare, but can happen. See this post for details Known Caveats: 1.) The 1.12.x release series works on 1.12.x. The 1.11.x,1.10.x,1.9.x and 1.8.x releases are deprecated 2.) Multistar Solar panel support requires an additional config file, attached to release. 3.) As of release-107, scatter density underwent a bugfix on all bodies globally that results in densities acting more dense than before on some select configs. Some mods may need to adjust. Normally we'd not change things like this, but this is technically the correct stock behavior of the node so... if you need the old behavior, see config option UseIncorrectScatterDensityLogic. 4.)

New in this latest version release-171: 1.) A new bool configuration parameter has been added, "UseOnDemandLoader." The default is false. This is the same OnDemand system Kopernicus has always had, but we are handing control over to the user more directly. Mods can still override this in the usual way. 2.) To elaborate on the above, the default has been changed to OnDemand OFF. This uses a bit more ram but is generally much faster and allows for things like DistantObjectEnhancement to work easily. If you are ram constrained you may want to change this, otherwise it is advised to leave this off as it has been known as a source of planetarium stutter. Known Bugs: 1.)

For the record, it is I, RTB, and not severedsolo who made the PR that switched it to the ingame stock alarm clock. Yes, there are days I regret it too. I may see about making it an option or something in yet another PR, if I ever find time...

New in this latest version release-170: 1.) We did some minor optimizations to the biome sampler. We wanted to do more, but some mods that probably won't get updated (Parallax) are dependent on it's methods, so cutting out large chunks of it is not an option. Maybe after communicating with other authors. 2.) The config variable "ScatterLatLongDecimalPrecision" was previous mislabeled "ScatterlatLongDecimalPrecision." Note the improper lowercase L. This has been fixed for consistency. You may need to reset this setting if you had it customized (you probably didn't, it just got added not long ago). 3.) These changes have been previous vetted by my beta testers on the bleeding edge, and are considered stable. Known Bugs: 1.)

Despite my vote, I'm in agreement but think it a rather big ask (hence my vote). I'd just be happy if they removed the "grey area" as you call it and allowed more open use of some more powerful tools. Sadly I have my doubts even that will happen.

Shouldn't matter, it's literally designed to detect gaming workloads that were developed before this architecture was made. Of course, there is theory, and then there is practice... How well it works, I can't say. I've heard mixed reports... heh. If it's basing it on a strong singlecore load though, KSP might actually trigger it.

Intel's Thread Director tech and the windows scheduler should do that automatically. If he's using Linux, it's more iffy, not sure how support for that chip is there.

New in this latest version Bleeding Edge Prerelease release-170 RC2: 1.) Reverted the refactor of the biome sampler. Some mods that probably won't get updated (Parallax) are dependent on its methods, so cutting out large chunks of it is not an option. 2.) Yes, this means the config option "ScatterLatLongDecimalPrecision" is now back. You still can't get more precision than a stock quad, so keep that in mind. We wanted to keep some performance gain, afterall. If this bothers you, you can always raise the subdivision level of your world. 3.) As this is a bleeding edge prerelease, some or all of these changes may be rolled back, pending testing. Known Bugs: 1.)

New in this latest version Bleeding Edge Prerelease release-170 RC1: 1.) Prerelease testing a moderate refactor to the biome sampler. Performance FPS wise is about the same, but it appears to improve load times with regards to scene switches. Feedback welcome. 2.) The new refactored biome sampler operates per quad, so the config option "ScatterlatLongDecimalPrecision" is now obsolete. This gives around slightly more than 1km precision on stock Kerbin. Increase subdivision level if needing more precision for scatters or biomes. 3.) As this is a bleeding edge prerelease, some or all of these changes may be rolled back, pending testing.

@Nightside, please see if this release does what you need, or if something internal to KSP is still stopping you.
