    The gameplay footage looks AMAZING for the first stage of Early Access! I’m super excited to witness the beginning of the KSP 2 legacy. Great job, devs.

    A sneak peek of Update 1.6.2's custom terrain

    This is something I hope to focus on in a future update. Unfortunately, I have no idea when that update will be developed.

    Try deleting Precursor’s cache files. If that doesn’t work, I’ll take a look at what the issue might be. My guess is that either a small KSP update messed everything up or an update to Kopernicus did. On that note, make sure that your Kopernicus version is up to date.

    The science configs and descriptions. I visited Scar on my setup and found no issues. Which mods do you have installed, and what version of Precursors are you running?

    Thanks! This is very cool. Just an FYI, some of the biome maps and color maps accidentally got flipped in the latest update. I will be releasing a patch to fix this sometime this week.

    After some consideration and community discussion, all of my previous concerns have evaporated. I sincerely apologize if I sounded rude to the KSP community and developers. This was not my intent, but I believe I came off as such. Would a moderator delete or discontinue this thread, please? Thanks.

    Install Precursors and EVE Redux by following the installation guides for each. You shouldn’t have BoulderCo or other EVE config packs (Spectra, etc.) in your KSP GameData folder.

    If you watch the whole video, it definitely doesn't look like Minmus from higher up.
  12. wpetula
    Done! I can't stop looking at your map. It's very, very well designed. Amusing how you just gave up on the gas giants.
  13. wpetula
    Yup. While there is technically a bottom, the game doesn't recognize it.

    Concern about the level of surface detail on celestial bodies in KSP 2 Today, I watched a KSP 2 gameplay video with beta footage of a ship landing on Vall. Below is a screenshot from this video, which was posted on Kerbal Space Program's official Twitter page: When I first watched this video, I thought the footage was from KSP 1. Vall is a jagged ice world, yet the terrain showcased in the video is surprisingly smooth and flat. Considering that boring celestial body surfaces are one of KSP 1's biggest gameplay problems, the lack of terrain detail here is extremely concerning. Other KSP 2 screenshots and gameplay videos demonstrate the same issue. Consider this image, which was taken directly from Intercept's KSP 2 website: No surface scatters are visible--just smooth, procedural hills. The sand and rocks the Kerbal is standing on appear to be merely 2D textures with normal mapping. Here's Bop: Bop's surface looks better than the other moons because of the terrain scatters, which are spread across the ground in random, uneven clumps. These rocks are simple and samey in appearance. KSP 2's celestial body surfaces are certainly improvements over KSP 1; however, I don't believe they can be described as having "unprecedented detail" and "variety" at this point in time.

    Math or not, I am extremely impressed! May I post this on the OP and on my Kopernicus Discord thread? All credit will be given to you. Until the 1.6 update, Tranquility DID have a rocky surface; however, it was impossible to land on. Because Tranquility uses the Jool template, KSP considered all ships landed on Tranquility's surface to be "flying". I tried switching the template to something else, but this just caused more problems. Also, while the surface had some cool terrain scatters, it didn't add much to the gameplay.

    NOTE: This is my first significant video and NOT something meant to be watched in full screen. I edited it with Lightworks Free, which wouldn't allow me to export a resolution higher than 720p.

    I attempted to make an interstellar update, but stuff kept breaking over and over again. It was a mess, so I scrapped the update and moved on to something else. Sorry!

    This is a problem with Scatterer that I will be fixing in the update. For a quick fix, go into the Scatterer menu / configs and deactivate ScaledSpace land adjustments. This setting is incompatible with OnDemand texture loading and breaks everything. Also... Abyss just got even more dangerous. Forget about the violent oceans; you'll have dense, toxic haze to deal with.
  24. wpetula
    I figured out how to use EVE! Instead of custom terrain scatters, clouds will be implemented into Precursors as part of the upcoming update.
  25. wpetula
    Try deleting Windswept's cache. If that doesn't fix it, please link a video of the issue and the graphics settings you are using for Kopernicus and Scatterer. I'll try to recreate the issue and patch it in the upcoming update.
