Oh hai. This is a basic planet pack so far that adds a Near-Kerbin binary asteroid, Doppler-Dyva, a Pallas-like two-toned potato, Quazen, and four binary Jool trojans. Basically asteroids not filled by niches such as Minor Planets Expansion. Download here on SpaceDock. This was the old picture of Doppler, once named Onor (please don't deadname it). It's a relic of my past and how I've improved. Requirements: Kopernicus ModuleManager A good computer

Outer Planets Mod v2.2.11 This version of Outer Planets Mod has been built to work for KSP version 1.3.1 - 1.12.*. About The Outer Planets Mod is a mod that expands the outer edges of the Kerbol system to create something akin to the real Solar System's. It adds Kerbalized versions of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as well as several of these planets' moons. These faraway planets provide a challenge rarely encountered in Kerbal Space Program; you'll have to figure out new transfer windows, manage your power supply differently, provide your spacecraft with more Delta-V and be ready to travel years or even decades. This mod is being developed and maintain by a group of collaborators, alongside and following the initial development of the mod creator, CaptRobau. Features Explore 15 new highly detailed planets and moons, all in a stock-a-like artstyle. Discover never before seen worlds, such as a sub-satellite, Trojan moon or a set of binary bodies. Collect science in over 140 biomes, with almost a thousand unique science blurbs. Custom terrain textures and improved ground scatter has made planets and moons never look so good up close. A full set of KSPedia entries for OPM's various bodies helps you to navigate the far reaches of the Kerbol system. Includes a Level 4 Tracking Station upgrade (requires CustomBarnKit) to boost your communication range out to the furthest reaches of the system without requiring additional modded antennas. Extensive third-party mod integration means you can play OPM with a whole range of other mods. Download You can either manually download and install Outer Planets Mod via the button and installation instructions below or by installing it automatically via CKAN (first-party support of CKAN is provided and new releases should automatically be indexed by CKAN in due course). Installation Instructions Extract the GameData folder found in the downloadable .zip directly into your Kerbal Space Program install directory. If located correctly, the OPM and CTTP directories should be found at: \Kerbal Space Program\GameData\OPM & \Kerbal Space Program\GameData\CTTP Dependencies The following KSP mods must be installed prior to using Outer Planets Mod (ensure you install the correct version of the dependencies for your version of KSP): Kopernicus (depending on KSP version) Module Manager Community Terrain Texture Pack - bundled within OPM Supported Mods Custom Barn Kit Community Resource Pack Distant Object Enhancement PlanetShine Research Bodies Visual Mods By default, Outer Planets Mods does not come with any included visual pack to support EVE or Scatterer. There are a few mods that add these atmospheric visual enhancements to OPM as follows: Stock Visual Enhancements - Retextures the Gas Giants and adds atmospheric scatter and cloud support to all atmospheric bodies. Does not apply effects if Pood's OPM-VO is installed also. Pood's Outer Planets Mod - Visual Overhaul - Retextures the Gas Giants and adds atmospheric scatter and cloud support to all atmospheric bodies. Not been updated in a while so your mileage may vary.

The year is 9302. The Mun has been impacted by a huge asteroid and Kerbin is flooded. Begin on an evolved Kerbin. Its continents have moved, its mountains and topography vary drastically. Set many millenia after the Kerbals first took to space, the general culture of former 'Kerbin' has changed drastically. Because of this change, the planet is significantly different - it's known as Gaia and all interplanetary voyages are strictly forbidden by the global government - You must convince them to fly once more. The entire planetary system has overcome a drastic change. A near miss with another star has caused many planets and moons to be captured by Kerbol. Your adventure awaits; take to the stars once more and prove that the eagerly awaiting space-faring Kerbals still have a future. This mod adds more planets and moons to land on whilst keeping the stock feel to the game. I have revisited the entire Kerbin system and added a bit more variation to the different planets and moons, making you feel the joy of exploring them once again.

Beyond Home Beyond Home (BH) is the final chapter in the story of Kerbalkind. It can be played independently of Before Kerbin and After Kerbin. Billions of years after Kerbol exploded, a few colony vessels survived and found a new system to inhabit. The Tempus System. The Tempus System is a binary star system, slightly larger than the Kerbol System. The two stars Destiny and Fate orbit each other, almost like a slow dance. These stars are the heart of this expansive system. The Kerbals have begun the colonization of two celestial bodies: Rhode, the home planet, and its moon Lua. Rhode's gravity is slightly less than Kerbin's. Its atmosphere is slightly thinner. It's a lot more modest than what the Kerbals were used to billions of years ago, however it is still a beauty to marvel at. Your task is to explore the Tempus System and uncover its secrets. Beyond Home is a planet mod for Kerbal Space Program that raises the bar by achieving many things once thought impossible. Each planet has custom surface features that the player can explore. These can range from simple rocks to vast structures and crashed starships. Each planet has had at least a week (or more) of time dedicated to making it perfect for the player to explore. Beyond Home may sound easy, but leaving the home planet is no longer the challenge. The journey is what counts - especially what lies at the end of it. Your focus will not be learning how to fly, it will be putting those skills to the test in wild, unique environments never seen before. See the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9llIkFVXAE Trailers There are a number of trailers for Beyond Home. Here is the main trailer and a few popular ones, including upcoming features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9llIkFVXAE - The main trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm6vzBzuGGU - Gas giant overhaul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRoTx2NC9Jc - Mining base https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3_hijMmj04 - Cities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5PSsIbgoBs - The original trailer I also have my own career mode series where I play the planet pack as a player myself: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfbvijUql4RUpLsJLJ-Zdenn6ArbOPik World-Firsts Beyond Home is the first planet mod to feature a fully functional binary star system at its core. Not only this, but entire structures can be procedurally generated on each planet - yes, you can land on those floating islands. Beyond Home comes with its own visual suite, meaning you can finally bring out the most performance you possibly can with one of the most optimized planet mods in the community. As well as this, Beyond Home offers the ability to collect bonus science rewards from various biomes across every planet - you will know where the challenge lies. There is even the option for you to launch from the moon of the home planet to aid with the system expansion and exploration. This planet pack is entirely about exploration and discovering vast, dynamic worlds that actually feel alive. Structures that indicate that an alien race has been here before you exist. The lore is extremely extensive. And yes, there are easter eggs! Compatibility Beyond Home is compatible with (or provides support for) the following mods: Environmental Visual Enhancements Scatterer Rescale (The recommended rescale factor is 2.5 or 3.7) Distant Object Enhancement Kopernicus Expansion Sigma Replacements: Skybox Kerbal Konstructs Astrogator (Use for transfer windows!) KS3P Principia - Download the patch for Beyond Home here: https://pastebin.com/m2QAyA7S Beyond Home is not compatible with: External visual mods (SVE, AVP, SVT...) External planet mods (JNSQ, GPP, GPO...) Scale Beyond Home is built at the stock scale. Each planet has been hand crafted for use within Kerbal Space Program. Beyond Home avoids all of the pitfalls that the stock planet has and sustains incredible detail even at the stock scale. There is also support for Sigma Dimensions configurations, where the recommended rescale factor is 2.5x or 3.7x for a challenge.

Precursors Version: 1.7.1 - ODYSSEY UPDATE OVERVIEW The discovery of mysterious SSTV signals originating from Duna was a monumental leap in the search for intelligent life. Deciphering these signals revealed The Ignotum System, a previously undiscovered solar system 3 light years from Kerbin. Having recently mastered interstellar travel and hibernation technologies, the Kerbals were quick to launch an expedition to this new system. The trip ran smoothly, but upon arrival... … Alone among the stars, you are the future of the expedition. Rediscover ancient rocketry and flight technologies as you explore a vast, handcrafted solar system. Uncover the secrets behind the SSTV signals and the alien race that created them. Precursors is a planet pack designed to provide a fresh and exciting experience to players. Stranded on a cold and barren world, traverse highly detailed celestial bodies and never-before-seen environments. Each planet and moon has a distinct challenge and appearance; hike across scalding volcanic mountains, maneuver through massive forests, and battle against relentless gravity on your journey across the Ignotum System. Collect custom science reports and unearth extensive lore in this continuation of the Kerbal Space Program story. Contents Over 20 highly detailed celestial bodies to explore 1,000+ custom science reports across all bodies Fleshed-out biomes on all celestial bodies Intricate worldbuilding Custom flags, loading screens, and more Easter eggs galore!

32k Planet Textures For JNSQ 32k texture pack for the main planets of JNSQ, so the ground stops looking blocky in low orbit. You've just assembled the final piece of your magnificent space station, right above the edges of the atmosphere. You gaze at Kerbin in all its splendor, with its glorious JNSQ volumetric clouds, and suddenly you notice, 'holy cow, Kerbin is all pixelated !' And ever since, during every launch, that's all you can see, desperately waiting to get high enough to no longer see that pixelated mess. That's what happened to me, and that's why I made this texture pack, to fully enjoy the planets in all their glory, no matter the altitude ! Dependencies JNSQ ModuleManager Compatibilities: This mod is purely visual, so everything compatible with JNSQ will be with this one. Recommended mods JNSQ_ParallaxScatters EVE Release 4 & Scatterer JNSQ Volumetrics Deferred rendering Download SpaceDock GitHub Installation FIRST, install JNSQ and it's dependencies SECONDLY, drop and merge the GameData folder from 32K_planets_for_JNSQ with your current GameData folder.

Kerbol System Renewed v0.3.0 Volumetric clouds support! About Kerbol System Renewed is a mod that moves around stock celestial bodies to be similar to our solar system, including changing the orbital inclination of planets and eccentricity for a more true to life and challenging experience. In this process i've had the need to implement a new gas giant beyond Jool to better accommodate the already existing celestials bodies. This is my first mod and post on the forums, but i've been playing KSP for 7 years. I plan to add more features as i learn. Any feedback is appreciated. Existing features All stock celestial bodies keep their original size and characteristics for gameplay purposes. New gas giant with rings further than Jool called “Juni” with volumetric clouds. Kerbin inclined to 23.5 degrees to simulate axial tilt, all other planets and moons follows this inclination, with their respective changes in their degrees. All bodies have a rotation rework and follows their real life counterparts. Most bodies have been moved to a more true to life experience without major overhauls. Gilly now orbiting Duna. (Deimos) Minmus now orbiting Juni as the first moon of the system. (Enceladus) Ike moved as the further planet from Kerbol. (Pluto) Laythe now orbiting Juni as the second moon of the system. (Titan) Vall now oribiting Jool as the last moon of the system. (Callisto) Tylo now orbiting Jool as the third moon of the System. (Ganymede) Bop now orbiting Ike. (Charon) Pol now orbiting Jool as the inner most moon of the system. (Io) Eeloo now orbiting Jool as the second moon in the system. (Europa) Planned features Juni rework Adding small ring to Jool. Minmus volumetric geyser jets. Laythe denser cloud coverage. Duna smaller ice caps. Known bugs Juni's volumetrics are a v1 so there will be improvements, they may look choppy on certain angles.

QuackPack QuackPack is intended to fill out an often neglected portion of the Kerbolar system: the deep inner system, far below the orbit of Moho. Oftentimes, when a player has conquered the stock system, it may feel like the only way to access more challenging destinations is to install full system replacers, or interstellar mods. System expansions such as Outer Planets Mod are a very popular first step, bridging the challenge gap between the stock system and full blown interstellar packs. QuackPack is designed to add an additional level of challenge to a stock + OPM install. Instead of looking outwards towards other stars, it is time to look inwards towards our own. These planets are not for the faint of heart. Transfer requirements are extreme, and their gravity wells are deep. Gravity assists are a near requirement. Failure lurks around every corner, as the unique thermal environments can cause unexpected problems, or outright destroy craft. Aerodynamics will work in unusual ways, as the superheated atmospheres are very different from anything else in the Kerbolar system. However, with smart design, clever planning, and skill, these bodies can be conquered, even fully reusable, or, theoretically, with single stage craft. Bodies Blas, a metal poor, scorching hot desert Superkerbin with a large ring system and one small moonlet. Geet, the lone moon of Blas, and a shepherd to the ring system. Jot, an inflated hot Jool with an extremely large atmosphere. Subon, a captured metallic asteroid in a close retrograde orbit of Jot. Cind, a Kerbin sized tidally locked hellworld, with an atmosphere made of sulfur and boiling metal. Features 5 challenging new bodies to explore. Science and career mode ready, with full biome and experiment definitions. Full scatterer integration. Full EVE integration, with clouds, sandstorms, lightning, aurorae, and thermal glow.

Does QuackPack support Parallax 2? A. QuackPack does not currently provide configs for Parallax 2, but it will run alongside Parallax 2 enabled planets from the stock system or other planet mods Q. Will QuackPack ever support Parallax 2? A. QuackPack is intended to support Parallax 2 at some point, when I have the time to sit down and learn it. Q. Does QuackPack support EVE True Volumetrics? A. EVE True Volumetrics support will come in a future update. Q. Does QuackPack support rescaling either natively or via Sigma Dimensions? A. QuackPack does not have native rescale support, but will function with rescales done via Sigma Dimensions. This means you can install QuackPack alongside other 1x scale mods, then rescale the whole thing with Sigma Dimensions, but QuackPack will not function correctly with mods like JNSQ, which have a native scale difference.

Hello all, and welcome to the release thread for Low Quality Planet Packs! Low Quality Planet Packs are small planet packs made for low-end computers, or for people who do not care about fancy graphics. The only dependencies these mods will ever have is Kopernicus (And all of its dependencies) and ModuleManager. Some will be interstellar, and some will add to the stock system. These mods contain: -Low quality textures (2048x1024 or less) -Small, compact systems -No sciDefs, ground scatters, etc. I decided to make these after playing many planet mods, with many being so well made that they'd lag my game even on the lowest graphics settings. RELEASES: LQPP: Truyot LQPP: Oasis LQPP: Wilmo LQPP: Johanna LQPP: Cronos Please send bug reports through the discord server, if they're sent here then I probably wont be see them for a bit. You'll also be able to see upcoming content, screenshots, and other things through there.

Nem - Binary Companion for Eve (All ingame screenshots were taken with Astronomer's Visual Pack, Scatterer and Parallax enabled.) - SUMMARY - A new binary planet companion for Eve, Nem is a volcanically active desert world with sweltering temperatures, massive volcanoes, deep canyons, and an oxygenated atmosphere. We don't know precisely how it's able to maintain this atmospheric oxygen. Some say the planet is actually hiding complex life, but this couldn't possibly be true. How could such a hostile world possibly sustain life? Regardless of its habitability, Nem represents a unique opportunity for our interplanetary SSTO program. Because of its low gravity, reasonably dense atmosphere and oxygen, Nem is ideally suited for an SSTO mission- especially if ISRU technology can be utilized. Ascent with a traditional lander, meanwhile, may prove difficult- as its aerodynamic properties will matter far more than a similar mission to Duna. At least your parachutes will work great! - FEATURES - Nem has an extensive feature set, including full science logs for almost every relevant stock science experiment, spanning each of its 16 biomes. This also includes full science logs for every usable DMagic Orbital Science experiment! For realism, it moves Gilly into orbit of Nem, as its previous orbit would've been unstable. However, as its hill sphere would be too small to be reasonably playable if Principia is installed, it will instead put Gilly at Eve's L5 lagrange point if that mod is enabled. Eve's rotation period is also modified to tidally lock it to Nem. If Alternis Kerbol Rekerjiggered is enabled, the mod will not touch Gilly/Gillian's Comet, and otherwise supports Alternis Eve just fine. (Though enabling Alternis Eve's rings is a tad unrealistic.) It includes custom Parallax surface textures, and even custom-modeled surface scatters- which can be installed optionally. The mod includes its own basic EVE clouds and supports Blackrack's beta Raymarched Volumetric Clouds, but if you have Astronomer's Visual Pack installed, it will hook into the mod and use your AVP install to generate its own clouds and auroras. It also supports SigmaDimensions. This functionality is now dynamic, meaning it will adjust Nem's HazardousBody setup and Eve's rotation period according to whatever configuration your SigmaDimensions install is running. - DELTA-V MAP - - SCREENSHOTS - (Spoilers!) - MOD COMPATIBILITY - Nem supports (but does not require): Astronomer's Visual Pack Community Resource Pack Environmental Visual Enhancements (Supports Raymarched Volumetric Clouds and old-style clouds) Parallax/Parallax_StockTextures Scatterer Distant Object Enhancement PlanetShine Principia ResearchBodies Alternis Kerbol Rekerjiggered DMagic Orbital Science Tarsier Space Technology (ChemCam and Telescope) SigmaDimensions - DOWNLOAD - Requires Kopernicus!

So for my first mod release I have made a mod that makes the Mun have life! This does add some new things for it! Gave the Mun a breathable atmosphere New Biome Map Gave the Mun an ocean There is Scatterer and EVE support for it too!! I really hope you guys will enjoy it!! If there is any issues then I will try my best to fix them! Be safe! SpaceDock Link!! https://spacedock.info/mod/3467/Habitable Mun Needs Kopernicus! :0 License: GPLV3

Very self-explanatory mod. It changes overall looks of Jool and adds a simple procedural wasteland beneath its clouds, making it into a new destination for your space frogs. It should run any visual packs, EVE, Scatterer, without problems, it has resources and other stuff normal Jool will get from mods. With pressure limits it will be even more interesting. --------------------------------------------------------- Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International ------------------------------------------------------ Suggested mods: Visual packs. Will add true clouds that can be seen from surface. EveEngines, ExplodiumBreathingEngines. Absolutely must have for flying there. Any mods with electric jets or propellers - RationalResources, KAX, you got it. Also, Jool remains ore-abundant with RationalResources so you won't run out of fuel If you feel need to touch it by Kopernicus patches(adding moons?), use JooI, not Jool (last letter is big "i") Have fun, report bugs! https://spacedock.info/mod/2967/JoolSurface https://github.com/hohmannson/jool_surface/releases Pics, clicks, stock EVE-less clouds. If someone doesn't like them or they a getting in the way of a visual mod, change fadestart, fadeend and deactivatealtitude to commented out values in Jool.cfg

Remember how creating fake mods was a thing back then? Now it's time to make even more fake KSP stuff! This time, it's fake celestial bodies, rocket/spaceplane parts, and manufacturers. Btw, you can do either or both, it's up to you. My examples: Fake Celestial Body - Gerris: A planet slightly larger than Kerbin but smaller than Eve, it has green oceans, a green atmosphere, and yellowish brown land. It has aliens living on its surface. Orbits between Kerbin and Duna. Fake Part - The AEM-293 Solid Rocket Booster: A SRB that was created because we always need more boosters. Manufactured by Boosterz Co. Fake Manufacturer - Boosterz Co: A solid rocket booster manufacturer. Nuff said. Have fun making whatever your heart desires!

I am making a planet pack as my first kopernicus mod. It is inspired by the old theorized planet Vulcan,However the it seems that it uses the map of its template(Moho) in map view and it is perfectly flat when landed on. I am sure that I am doing something stupid that is very simple but I do not know exactly what I am missing. The code for the ScaledVersion and PQS is ScaledVersion { fadeStart = 60000 fadeEnd = 90000 type = Vacuum Material { specColor = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1 shininess = 0 } OnDemand { texture = planetpacktestthing/PluginData/usvaalcolormap.dds normals = planetpacktestthing/PluginData/usvaalnormalmap.dds//Normal map } } PQS { fadeStart = 90000 fadeEnd = 130000 deactivateAltitude = 130000 //Maybe I will need to make a material{} subnode Mods { VertexHeightMap { map = planetpacktestthing/PluginData/usvaalheightmap.dds offset = 0 deformity = 4000 scaleDeformityByRadius = false order = 20 enabled = true } VertexColorMap { map = planetpacktestthing/PluginData/usvaalcolormap.dds order = 20 enabled = true } } }

As part of an assignment for graduate school I created a planet for KSP and its Kopernicus mod, which I have dubbed Hira. Beyond the orbit of Eeloo, between where Sarnus and Urlum orbit in the Outer Planets Mod, Hira is suspected to once have been a rogue planet that was captured in the last few thousand years by the combined gravitational influences of Kerbol and Jool. It includes five custom biomes and a number of unique Science reports. With low gravity, a moderately high rotation speed, and no atmosphere, its surface is relatively easy to visit once the planet's SOI is reached. I make no claims about this being an exceptionally interesting or elaborate planet pack, but since I made it I figured I'd share it, so if you are looking for a new planet to visit, here it is. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions or issues Prerequisites: Kopernicus Installation is the standard procedure for any planet pack and most mods. Extract the ZIP archive and either copy the GameData folder into your installation directory or copy the problemecium folder into your GameData directory. Download

The Plod System [1.7.3] I would highly recommend this review of the mod by KottabosGames. If you're reading this KottabosGames thanks again! What does this mod add? The Plod System adds a binary Sedna analogue dwarf planet to the far solar system. Plod: An icy, green dwarf planet with massive craters and looming mountains. Its orbit is giant and elliptical. Many blame Jool... or could it have been another hidden planet? Oob: Plod's binary companion, orbiting so close to Plod that orbiting in low-Plod-orbit is a necessity. Giant ice spikes jut into the world's horizon, segmenting the world's smoother, purpler terrain. Ninkle: A dark bluish-purple world that orbits Plod with minimal gravity. Its lowlands contrast nicely with exposed green under-ice, hinting at its past and formation. Tebos: A smooth, small world with a bright lump on one side. It is navy blue in appearance, with exposed yellow-brown under-ice and a tall, white mound on the side of the world, which the moon's tiny gravity could not conform. Lia: The oddball. This moon is though to have had severe out gassing and plumage in its early years. The surface is pink, and covered almost everywhere with sharp, spikey terrain. Fear not however, the moon's minuscule gravity makes the spikes much less dangerous than they could have been. Pictures (more to come shortly) Download Dependencies: Kopernicus Time warp mod (technically not required but Plod is like very VERY far away so it may be worth getting one to save time.) https://spacedock.info/mod/2033/The Plod System All rights reserved

Exactly as the title. I have been experimenting with an idea to revamp the inner system, like OPM does for the outer system, but add really crazy planets with eccentric orbits and unique ideas that are hard to get to, but rewarding when you get there. Some of my ideas are: - A blue mars due to copper oxides (not cold, actually hot) - A hycean Kepler 22 b with glass storms that can shred your craft - A carbon world that blends in with space with tons of exposed diamonds in an eccentric orbit - A yellow/green sulfur gas dwarf - A torus world - Vulcan analogue with lava - Dwarf Planets i.e Sedna, Eris etc... Analogues - Pure Iron Planet -Radioactive Moon of Eve, Binary with Poison moon, with rocky moon orbiting them - MonMonMon, the third moon of Kerbin - Salt Flats planet with Helium Atmo - Kerbal Rock? So yeah, those are my ideas. Any tips or suggestions on how to go about this?

Я начал разработку своего мода для Kerbal Space Program, но во время тестирования заметил, что солнечная сторона планеты не обращена к Солнцу, как это исправить? [Moderator Added Translation] I started developing my mod for Kerbal Space Program, but during testing I noticed that the sunny side of the planet is not facing the Sun, how can I fix this?

Little Big Planets "Everything's just a hop, skip, and a jump away" What is Little Big Planets? Little Big Planets is a collaborative project, seeking to replace the stock system, with a 10x smaller system, effectively at 100x smaller than real scale, creating a new an unique experience similar to that of the ancient Toy Kerbin mod. This pack is being made by a handful of developers with great experience in KSP modding, and hopes to establish a fun and high quality experience. Can I join the development team? Yes, you can! All you need is to know how to make a planet, a planet texture, and to make it work! We'll consider it based on your skill level, but the project is open to new and beginner modders getting their bearings. How do I get in touch and view active development updates? We have a development discord here! Is it out? No, but Alpha testing is open to people willing to find bugs in the mod, you can join the discord to find more details.

Since this is the first result on google i wanted to make something clear, this is not the full mod The full mod is being worked on here: Endless expanse: DOT-33 is the first part of an eventual galaxy. The current system (DOT-33) is a binary star system consisting of a yellow dwarf and an orange dwarf, each with their own system. So, will you be able to survive the endless expanse? https://spacedock.info/mod/2936/Endless Expanse: DOT-33 To all of the people who supported me during development, thank you.
