Very strange bug. I suspect that the terrain shadows are broken for the PQS system (how terrain renders up close). What exactly causes the issue is a mystery to me, but I suspect either there's an issue with the shading system, or the PQS mod system (how you make better close up detail without manual work) has an issue. I've seen it before in beyond home's ash moon, and I've also seen the pattern that appears over it. If that photo is of JNSQ and not BH, that could imply something to do with that texture is screwing with it. In any case, it definitely has SOMETHING to do with PQS, because when rendering terrain, more geometry is added to closer terrain, leading to smaller and more numerous squares. Scatterer probably doesn't fix it because the issue is on the PQS side, perhaps some bad normal/bump mapping, or maybe bad UV unwrapping (how textures are mapped on to geometry). Anyway gtg, theres a tornado warning in the Northeast US. God knows how that works.

If anyone has suggestions for features, or complaints about deprecated features, feel free to tell me.

You will need to delete this section from any planet config that contains it.

If you want wormholes to work you'll need to update kopernicus extension to 1.10, which can be found on my profile. To be clear I recommend waiting until official release. 1.10 Kopernicus is still buggy, and scatters are enjoyable.

Seems mostly ready for 1.10, though you'll need to change that mesh, and use a newer version of Kopernicus Extended

Fixed the wormholes in Kopernicus Expansion. You should bump to 1.10 now

UPDATED: Footprints now functional

If anyone has experience, please do help. Debugging's a hell of a job.

My attempt at a rebuild of some features Currently only wormholes work, but considering thats the most useful gameplay wise, I'm sure it will be useful. Focusing on footprints next. EDIT: Footprints done. Focusing on other shaders

Kopernicus Expansion is a mod aimed at expanding on the features of Kopernicus NOTE: All plugins are now bundled in one package. If one or more gives you issues, please delete them in gamedata/kopernicusexpansion/plugins/INSERTPLUGINHERE.dll Original Threads Dependencies FAQ Can I bundle this with my planet pack? From my understanding, yes! I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that the GNU license allows you to use this as long as you credit properly. A link to this thread should do. How do I use this? Currently I don't have many examples, however examples can be found on the downloads page. I do plan to add a wiki however, so hopefully soon no downloads will be required for an example What do I download? Currently you can either download via Github, where you can download the KEX-Plugins.zip file, and if you want stock footprints configs, download KEX-Examples.zip and delete Gamedata/KopernicusExpansionExamples/VHM16 If you prefer an easier method, simply download from Spacedock and it's ready to go immediately. I do plan to make the Github downloads easier in the future. I'm a developer. Can I contribute to updating the mod? Please do! I'm not the most experienced dev, and I suffer from ADHD, so updates don't come as often as they maybe should. Feel free to file a pull request, or message me on discord in either the Kopernicus discord, or via dm at Vabien#6853 I'm just trying to play a dumb space frog game. What does this mod actually do? For you, not much. We have footprints for you, but most of these features are only going to be useful as a dependency for a planet pack. Footprints require configs however, so you will either need to make them yourself, or look for specifically a mod that has them. This does not apply to stock, as we provide configs.

The issue is with the scatters. After replacing all the textures with CTTP textures, the issue persists, however after deleting the node the issue disappears. For that reason I believe the issue is not the textures but instead the builtin/boulder mesh you've been using. Or I missed a texture

Upon further investigation this mod is NOT fully compatible with 1.10. Everything works but the wormholes.

I've tested this with 1.10, it's fully compatible from what I can see. If you need some assistance with visuals, I'm a 3d modeller so feel free to contact me cause this is a cool mod!

What version @VoltronAWK? Any mods that could conflict (visual mods, etc.)

Some systems are stable, but Sarnus is not stable at all.

Heads up on 1.10, you will see every gas giant as jool using kopernicus 1.9, and currently (R-T-B is working on this as we speak) normals are broken in kopernicus dev 1.10. Currently you can workaround this by implementing a normal map yourself, but if you want to wait, there should HOPEFULLY be a build soonish. Keep in mind 1.9 kopernicus is unstable, and 1.10 is doubly so, so use at your own risk.
