A Ringworld for Kerbal Space Program 200 light years from Earth, a huge ring revolves around its lonely star. The inner surface hosts a biosphere millions of times the area of Earth's, but otherwise similar in its distance to its sun, the magnitude of its spin gravity, and even its day-night cycle, thanks to enormous orbiting 'shadow squares' that periodically block the sun. Now you can observe this incredible artifact from your favorite Kerbal vessel! Dependencies This mod will not work without: Module Manager Kopernicus 1.3.0-8 or later These mods are not included in the download and must be installed separately. Try CKAN for easy handling of dependencies. Side effects The Ringworld's sun is normal-sized, and this mod enlarges Kerbin's sun to make exploring the system more accurate, which speeds up Kerbin's rotation to preserve its 6-hour solar day. Comment out the %Properties block of Ringworld.cfg to disable this. Limitations This mod is for visualization only. You cannot: Re-enter or fly in the Ringworld's atmosphere Land on the Ringworld Crash into the Ringworld Crash into the shadow squares Attack invaders with the solar flare cannon Indulge in rishathra I would love to support these things, but if they're possible for the interior of a non-spherical surface, I don't know how. Since the surface is just a tiled randomized texture, notable unique features are not represented: Fist of God Mountain Great Oceans and the Maps Spill Mountains Spaceport ledges Eye storms Attitude jets Shadow square wires Floating cities Links Download: https://github.com/HebaruSan/Ringworld/releases/latest Bug tracker: https://github.com/HebaruSan/Ringworld/issues Source: https://github.com/HebaruSan/Ringworld Localization: https://github.com/HebaruSan/Ringworld/tree/master/GameData/Ringworld/lang License: Public domain (Unlicense)
