α1.2 IS OUT NOW Released on CKAN, Github, and Spacedock. Github is now primary release platform.

JFA MINI DEV UPDATE 5.2 The update is ready, but I am unable to post it for some reason. I am using Firefox, and any time I attempt to access spacedock.info , it gives me the "Secure Connection Failed" error. Any help would be appreciated, or maybe just an alternative to mirror it to. In the meantime, I'll try to push the zip to CKAN manually. Thank you for your patience, I'll hopefully be able to push it to github. Download it there when I send another message here.

JFA MINI DEV UPDATE 5.1 Aklin, also known as Sulphurous Eve. The hard part is over, it's just polishing from here. I've got a few tweaks to Aklin before 1.2 can release.

hi. JFA DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 5 I've been working on another mod for a different game and putting JFA off because... I got bored and frustrated setting up Aklin. I'm coming back to modding, but expect less frequent. Anyways, update will come out this November, but I wanted to talk about the development roadmap. 1.1 - SUNFLARE Released. Small update changing the sunflare textures. No bodies added. 1.2 - SARYN 50% Complete. (November 2024.) Adding 2 new moons and moving the wormhole to Saryn. This may seem minor, but is pretty major. Part of the originally proposed "Alpha 0.4.0" (LUNA), and than the planned version of the released update... I split it in two, those being SARYN and LUNA. Speaking of Luna... 1.3 - LUNA (Jan-Feb. 2025) Fully Planned. It's like Saryn, but for Jona. 3(?) Moons. 1.3.1 - LUNA+ (After LUNA.) In Planning. Polishing and stuff. Mostly unimportant. RELEASE CANDIDATES (No clue lol) Polishing, actual working EVE support, making the mod not suck... All those things. I'm not sure if I'll keep them private or publish them. (r1, r2, r3 r3.1...) Sorry for the lack of images! As stated, I was on break, so haven't really been... Developing.

Hi There. No, The Mod Is Not Dead. JFA DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 4 I've been working on 2 moons specifically, both in orbit of Saryn. I know I said I was trying to add stuff to Qir's orbit (since Nytixe is an empty system), but It's probably best to add the moons to the planet that's getting the wormhole, so needs them. Speaking of Qir, I'm going to make it purple. Currently Saryn and Qir are basically identical, which is not a good thing when developing a planet pack. What are these moons and why did they take so much time? Well... Midr: An asteroid moon of Saryn that orbits at incredibly low altitudes. Expected to form a thin ring system at some point. Progress: 100% This one was difficult because I couldn't get the ScaledSpace mesh to match the main heightmap. Turns out I just needed to reload the cache file. Aklin: Around 1.5x the size of Eve with the same atmospheric density, the storms on this pale beige dot are fierce. The dense atmosphere means that your Kerbals should probably not go outside, even if Jeb insists. Strange orbital defects have been observed in it's orbit around Saryn, almost like there's some sort of dense moon orbiting it, however it has not been sighted yet. Progress: 4% I know what I want to make, I'm just not sure how to make it. NO IMAGES AVAILABLE.

Didn't fix the issue.

Hello! I've been having an issue with the ScaledSpace mesh not matching the PQS of a lumpy, asteroid-like body. I'd first like to mention that I want to make the ScaledSpace lumpy, not the PQS spherical.

This seems like it could be useful. I've got a big issue with non-smoothed heightmaps in my mod. Could be useful in a future update!

Just did a test on actually getting there by wormhole (yes, it is possible without cheats), and it turns out that to get to Ilnixe from the wormhole, it takes over 1,400 years. So, uh, I'm moving it to Saryn's orbit!

Hello! Sorry for the long term of inactivity. I've been busy with other things. There is a poll on the page for what I should add next, because I'm running out of ideas.

Could You Add JFA?

v1.1 // "SUNFLARE" is out now! Have Fun!

I Can make a lava ocean produce heat. The issue is looks and texturing, as the base game doesn't have lava textures, and the scaled version won't glow, even with EmissiveFX.

JFA got an honourable mention (not too special, considering I nominated it) in may's TOTM! I'm incredibly glad to you, the users of my creation. I'll try to make it playable. 2 Stars, 1 Planet, OUT NOW. ( Yes, I said 2 in the development update, but lava is a PAIN to implement. I'll fix up the existing issues instead of adding new ones. Fixing the main bugs comes next update, ( like Ilnixe's flare, @Superpluto126, ) followed by moons and proper science experiment definitions. )

Congrats to all the other winners of TOTM! I'm incredibly glad I got an honourable mention.

Floor 4738: Floor 4739: Floor 4740: An impossible shape that always has the area above it inside of it. Floor 4741 Seems To Be The End Of Impossible Shapes Though. Not Sure What's There...

JFA - JebFarAway

Congrats on the TOTM win!

Thanks @Galileo.

I Believe JFA Fits In Here. (Did not see that @Shadow Wolf TJCHas Already Mentioned This Mod.)

Hello. I am making a planet pack, and am in the process of creating some new stars. One of them should be a whitish-blue, however, since the stock flare is tinted yellow, it is really difficult to add a star of that colour. I do not want to add Scatterer or other visual mods as a dependency. If you have a solution for this issue, please tell me. Thank you! - D4RKN3R

JFA DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 2 Good Day, Fellow Kerbals! As You May Know, JFA Is Currently A Buggy, Unstable, Unplayable, And Boring Mess. I'm Looking To Change That In v0.4.0, By Making It More Unique. We Currently Plan To Add 2 New "Stars" To The Pack, However They Are Only Currently In A Buggy Beta Phase Of Development. Either Way, I Feel I Should Share Them With And JFA Players Who May Want To Know: ÆIXE Is A Bright White Star, Holding The Entire System Of IXE Together. It Is Orbited By One, Fiery And inhospitable World, As Well As A Mysterious Wormhole. (Pictured Center) NYTIXE Is A Bright, Hot Brown Dwarf That Is Nearly Large Enough To Be Considered A Red Dwarf, However It Falls Just Short. In Orbit Of It Is A Small Gas Giant. (Pictured In Purple) ILNIXE ...You Should Know What This Is. Anyways, Here's The Most Recent Obligatory Teaser For JFA... " Taken From The CUBE Space Telescope Is A Recent Photo Of Brown Dwarf Star "Nytixe." " And That's Just The Stars! We're Adding More Moons In 0.4.0, Though I'm Not Going To Spoil Them All Just Yet. I'll Only Tell You That Mystin Is Getting A Moon Named "Minin." Finally, I'm Fixing A Bunch Of Bugs, Including Adding Science Definitions. If You Come Across Any, Let Me Know So I Can Fix Them. Thanks For Playing! JEBFARAWAY

Poll CLOSED. ... I'm Doing All Three. 0.4.0 Is Going To Be Fun.
