Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Unclear OS: Windows 10 | CPU: Ryzen 3 3100 4-Core Processor | GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER | RAM: 8gb I experienced this issue while on a Duna transfer trajectory. I had encountered the issue twice during an Apollo-style Mun mission, but closing and reopening the game was a (surprisingly fast) and consistent solution in both cases, so I wasn't that worried. When I encountered the glitch this time, I didn't think it was that significant beyond being visual, so I decided to go ahead and time warp out of Kerbin's SOI. Doing this, my craft seemed to become stuck on the edge of Kerbin's SOI (or it appeared to, but I can't confirm that for reasons I'll get into shortly), and I collected "Surface/Landed" reports for Kerbol. I closed the game and came back to relaunch it the next day... the save no longer ran well, all screens were incredibly slow and often froze, Kerbol experienced a visual glitch where it became brighter until the entire screen was white, nothing worked quite right anymore. I started a new save, and it no longer runs well either. I'm not entirely sure what happened, the game was functioning well up until that point, and I'm afraid I can't give any more specifics, I'm uninstalling and reinstalling the game now and hoping it fixes the issues. I do hope this info helps in some way. Other than that, Tuesday was my first impressions of the game and I genuinely had fun, this was the first mission I lost to a glitch following ten or so that ran perfectly well. This game has come a long way, and I'm optimistic.

Apologies for the late reply, please ensure your copies of Kopernicus and KopernicusExpansion are fully up to date, on out of date copies of this mod the body Sutapasu has been known to cause the pack to fail during loading.

This is without a doubt one of the most horrifying shuttles I've ever seen in KSP, and this is coming from someone who thought they were doing a pretty good job at making cursed shuttles on their own time! I'm beyond thankful for you sharing this, seeing people play around in the pack and the vehicles they come up with is a joy like no other! I speak on behalf of the entire team when I say thank you so much for playing our silly little mod!

First Patch - Version 0.9.1 v0.9.1 Release Download Here: https://github.com/ExosLab/PJ3Assembled/releases/tag/Patch v0.9.1 SpaceDock Release Here: https://spacedock.info/mod/3493/Planet Jam 3 - The Cervine System Update includes fixes for Skal's display name (issue on SpaceDock's branch), a visual bug on Muntjac, and most importantly fixes an incompatibility issue between Planet Jam 3 and the latest release of KSP Community Fixes! This update also includes an update to the scatterer atmosphere for Clonos' world, Arida. Preview in the spoiler.

Very nicely done!

First minor update, you can now find a DeltaV map made by our very own Sabine (@WarriorSabe) right here on the page! Map Here (And Up There Too): Thank you so much to Sabine for her work yesterday in updating this map for the release version, navigating the system should be much easier now!

That's an astounding Kerbin! It was a joy watching it come together, I think you've managed a fantastic balance of realistic and Kerbal art styles here!

During the first waves of Interstellar Travel, some Kerbals were somewhat... stingier than others. The colonists of the good ship KSS Null Exception had ambition, setting out with no particular target system in mind, they sought to colonize the highest multi-stellar system possible. This didn't work out, they passed the six stars of the Mivel-Agranda System somewhere around three-thousand years ago, and out of frustration and a lot of internal arguments eventually decided to just take up residency in the first star system with more than two suns they could find. That's where they find themselves now, around the young blue-white star, Doe. In their desperation to settle someplace, they've ended up in a rather brutal system, hot off the heels of a local late-heavy bombardment, and some people are beginning to question if some of these stars are actually stars... Welcome to Planet Jam 3! Release has been, delayed quite a bit now, that's no secret. We wanted to have this out months ago, but life had other plans. For that I am sorry, but we're here now! Hopefully it will be worth the wait. The Tuft System After discussions with other members of the team, it was decided to go for a more "traditional" home planet this time around. Unlike Asite Par in WWPJ (which was small, heavily atmospheric, and had no moons) or Armstrong in PJ2 (which was large, lightly atmospheric, with a couple small moons), Tuft is very similar to Kerbin, only slightly harder, and has a proper system of decently large moons. Overall, this combined with system structure, makes Planet Jam 3 the most accessible pack of the trilogy. When starting out, playing Planet Jam 3 should feel very similar to playing in the stock system, at least until you start going interplanetary. Tuft and its Moons, Whitetail is the leftmost, Roe is the largest, with Muntjac right beside it. The asteroid moon Pudu is too small to be seen. Tuft itself is a battered and volcanic world, the land is entirely forged of large impact craters. The Cervine System is rather sparse looking from out here... Going inwards from home, you will find Andor, a large and hot gas giant, but beyond Tuft you will find a great divide until you reach the innermost brown dwarf Mustooine, and Dantafar is further still. The intention is to use Andor for gravity assists to fling yourself to the outer stars, but in all honesty, the way it works out means the deltaV to reach the brown dwarfs is not that bad, very similar to Jool in stock, and breaking once you get out there is easy. Travel times will be a bit long though, similar to OPM. Looks can be deceptive however, a closer look at Mustooine and Dantafar would reveal many, many worlds waiting to be explored! Complete System Layout: Planet Jam 3 DeltaV Map Made by Sabine (AKA WarriorSabe) Spoiler-Lite Astrophotos: In-Game Screenshots - Spoiler Warning: Additional Content Previous Planet Jams have come with their own custom alien skins for the Kerbals, with Parbles in WWPJ and a whole bunch of fun aliens in PJ2. Due to time constraints, we opted for something a little less technically intensive. You'll find some custom flags and three new color variants of the "Vintage" space suit packaged with this mod. These draw inspiration from *another* race of aliens that are prone to crash landings.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that the light curves might drop off to zero after a certain point to avoid casting light onto the Kerbol System, but I'm unfamiliar with Beyond Home's configuration. @Astra Infinitum

I have a theory about the source of this bug, it may be related to the Linux OS (which correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be running). Can you go to this filepath: "Gamedata/PJ2/KopernicusFiles/3_OuterSystem" and delete the IlioABC_d folder? We believe the issue may be there, but we're having trouble confirming it at this time. If it works it should act as a temporary hotfix until a permanent solution is found.

Don't worry, there's a sort of unspoken agreement that, if "Planet Jam 3" happens, it's going to be a long time until then and it will not be nearly as large of a project. Fleshing out and polishing PJ2 will be continuing for awhile, and most of our team are ready to move back to their independent projects for a time. Also, thank you so much for doing your playthrough of Week World Planet Jam, it really helped the pack out and put a smile on all of our faces!

I may have played a small part in putting this one together! I'm excited to see people explore this system, it was a blast to see what ideas folks came up with planet-side, I'm excited to see what folks come up with craft-side!

One of my newest contributions to this pack was Gwargin, spoilers attached I am incredibly excited for this pack's official full release, I alongside many others have contributed many hours of love and care into delivering this gift to the community!

Honored to see the Week World Planet Jam: The Sauwel System recognized as thread of the month! It was a very fun week for all involved, there's almost nothing like it!

It was an absolute honor and a blast to work on this pack, some of the most fun I've had planet modding in a long time, and time spent surrounded by so many talented peers. It's fantastic to finally have a few more bits of my work out to the public after releasing MPE two and a half years ago, hopefully it won't be two and a half years until my next project releases. I hope you all have as much fun as we had making this pack together!
