Ah, good times. I loved that old system. Went kablooie when the new version came out. No new planets until after I finish the config stuff I am afraid. But if I have time I'll put Fred and Ginger in when I release it.

Other modders can use the code as long as they ask first. Two other mods are already working on plugins based on the code. The purpose of the license is to ensure someone can't just edit a few files and then release a conflicting plugin. Two plugins trying to do the same thing will not work. I understand folks want to make their own planet, but the best way to do that isnt to fork the project. Its to add an interface to allow you to make planets via config files. That's what I am working on now.

Random responses. -The planets are cool. You need to start with height maps tho. -I did a fake barycenter a while back and it worked ok. Obviously it didnt act like a real barycenter in that you would fall into this one. But the engine didn't go kablooy or anything. -Some planets are more configurable than others because they are newer. I went from defining them in code to cfg files and I haven't converted all yet. -I'll do a how-to-create-a-planet-from-scratch post after I release the version that allows planets to be added/removed from a cfg. Until then - the secret is to bang the ctrl and nine keys together guys. -No science. Probably easy to add but I never got around to figuring out how it works.

Its true, Serious is rather easy (dv) to get to. Surprising isn't it? Ablate is much harder. Speaking of Ablate. I am surprised no one has climbed The Spike. http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/1qo2u3/planetfactory_space_elevator_challenge/

Sorry I dont have time to respond to a lot of the good questions/ideas. Here are a few randomish responses Not working? Make sure its installed right. The stuff goes in GameData not Plugins. "Default" texture somewhere? Means there is a missing texture. I fixed Sentar in Dec 3 version. See it somewhere else let me know. Create/Delete planets? I plan to make the system configurable from a cfg. Then you should be able to create (and yes disable) CelestialBodies. If you are resourceful there is a lot you can already do with the current version. Tadpole. Liked it. But no plans to change descripts. Other fish to fry.

Updated the OP with new version. Only change is fixed Sentar texture bug.

Sorry about the default texture. I'll fix tonight.

Next version will have the planets defined in a config file. If you see "DEFAULT" anywhere it is because there is a missing or damaged texture. Does anyone else see default on Sentar?

Updated the Spaceport version with the Serious.cfg. Hopefully that will fix the SOI issue.

Sorry about the SOI bug. I think I missed a config file. Could someone test adding a Serious.cfg with this in it and see if it fixes the problem. CelestialBody { GeeASL= 0.0962500333786 }

I haven't been able to repro this problem. I might have missed a file in the release. Is anyone NOT seeing this bug?

Most distressing. Anyone else having this problem?

Orbits the sun way out. Took the Kraken out back and gave him a proper thrashing with patent pending antiKaboom tech.

Done. Krag

Alas no. Didn't have time to get that working.

Mac/Linux/Steam versions (sorry). -Added UltraWarp disable option to Ctrl-U Hello Kerbals! Here it is, the long awaited Sentar planetary expansion. You Kerbals have been cooped up in that tiny system far too long and I think this is a nice mix of planets to explore. A little something for everyone! Krag http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/krags-planet-factory/ Screens: http://imgur.com/a/cvIzV Few things to keep in mind: -Backup your saved game. Bad things could happen -The planets in this expansion are target at more advanced players. None are easy to get to. -These planets require plenty of RAM. You might have to remove other large plugins or risk crashes. -I HIGHLY recommend rbray89′s cloud plugin for use with these planets. It really makes them look amazing!

Last orders everyone. Closing up. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/45576-Retrospective-So-long-Kerbals!

Hey! Serious over site on my part. My absolute first inspiration for this entire project was Macey Dean. You rock! If you haven't seen every single one of his Carrier series then shame on you. http://www.youtube.com/user/MaceyDean Oh Man... That is perfect!! Beyond perfect. How could it be anymore perfect. I say close with that! Any objections??

Well! Its last call. I am officially retiring. Going to spend some time fishing for a start. I had planned a retrospective. But time is short and I hate long goodbyes. So here is just a few highlights from the last two months. One last look at what might have been.... The riddle: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/38641-Pleased-to-meet-you The reveal: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/36293-Planets-and-ScaledSpace?p=510233&viewfull=1#post510233 System tour: Slow pass over Krag. Not one of my better efforts Barycenter system Hering at the (9.5k high) Wall. http://imgur.com/a/igmmb A very special thanks to everyone who supported the project (or at least played along) and Macey Dean. The rest of you lot can... well... live in interesting times So long Kerbals! It was sweet! Kragrathea Out. Edit: Gojira came up with this perfect video:

Yup. And if you look at the next few posts I asked him if he was serious. When no reply came I pointed out the irony that his join date was 2106 and his location was "In a Nordic Kingdom". He never replied. An irony lost on you when I asked how you liked living in the Pegasus Galaxy. Again where exactly is this RP line when all the mods have fantastic info in their sigs?

Well Intentioned Mr Shifty, But sumghai either misunderstood or is a troll. And the rp thing is pretty much a done deal. They can't very well have a Kragrethea exception. Either way we don't want that to be the final word in a thread that is sure to be locked at any second. So let me add that I am thinking of doing a Kragrethea Retrospective thread. Coming soon. Details to follow. After I get a bloody tan that is. MODs maybe leave this open as long as it stays civil? Everyone else. Stay civil eh?

Yes, I am in fact churlish. I think the record will prove that. But in this case I got 70 some posts in before someone pointed out the "unwritten rule" that it was "highly discouraged". So Pfffffft!!

I am not necessarily quitting moding. I might still pursue the dealership idea (although "Ingame Craft File Sharing Plugin" sounds a lot less interesting than "Krags Used SpaceCraft Emporium!!!!"). I am giving up on the planets thing because it has turned to drudgery. It was fun doing the rp and making planets. But after 0.21 it has gone back to square one. Last weekend (which was beautiful btw) I spent 12hrs working on it. I loaded the game 87 times (i keep the logs) and I spent 42 minutes "InFlight". You know how much of that was "fun". None. The only bit that was enjoyable was working on the Krag status updates and the continuing story line that I had in mind (it was going to be a doozy!). Now I am just going to enjoy the rest of the summer and we will see what happens after... Honestly I don't see why you would prefer this bitch over lovable Krag, but whatever.

No further breakthroughs are expected. I am winding down. The 1-2 combination of 0.21 and official opposition to the story stuff has pretty much scuttled my interest in the project. I have emailed AstronutKhillips to ask what he wants me to do with it. I'll post any news here. Thanks to everyone who supported the project. Sorry I couldn't deliver. : (
