What is this? The sequel to the planet pack Low light levels Red. The pack adds in two binary stars and 11 planets and moons. Bodies: Rubo: A white dwarf that was once a mighty star like Kerbol. Loth: A fiery world with oceans of lava that are slowly cooling in the dim light of Rubo. Ufgo: A tidal locked desert with old dried up oceans and ice on the farside. Crof: A small world even more forgotten than Dres. It has a cratered cold surface. Giza: The biggest gas giant in the system, but still small. Most of its mass got lost in the past. Micry: The only moon still orbiting Giza. It has a cratered dead surface. Zec: A gas giant with strong winds and two very clear bands. Thesi: First moon of Zec, it has a thick atmosphere and small oceans of liquid methane. Pece: An extraordinary asteroid, it is in a binary dance with its partner Poco. Poco: The other asteroid roughly the same as Pece, also orbiting the barycenter. Wilco: One of the most mighty objects in the universe, with the size of the KSC and the name of a scientist his dog. Ria: A cold icy world with a beautiful view of Wilco. Qen: A small asteroid orbiting at big distance from Wilco. The series -3LB - You are looking at it right now... -3LR - The other part of this series which adds 2 brown dwarfs. -B2L - A pack that adds in two blindingly bright stars.

VERSION 2.8! Download from Spacedock Download from GitHub ================================================================================================================= AlphaMensae's Modular Launch Pads Tired of wimpy launch clamps? Feel your KSP launch experience is lacking something? Well, then make any rocket launch an event by making a complete launch facility with launch base, towers and other accessories. Board your crew, start the countdown, then go for ignition sequence start! Modular Launch Pads is a collection of parts, including various launch clamp-type bases, towers, crew elevators, hold-downs and other accessories. You start by either attaching a base to a bottom center node on a rocket; this can be either the bottom node of an engine, or an attach node added by one of the included path files that add an extra node to various mod rocket tanks, stages or engine mounts. Towers attach to the four nodes on the sides of the base. Swing arms and drop umbilicals attach to nodes on the towers; other parts can be attached to the tower tops. Holdd-downs are surface-attached to the deck, frame top or support pad on the base. IMPORTANT: All the parts are now hidden by default from the stock Structural category. This was done to keep from clogging up that category with a ton of non-rocket parts. Use the included custom Community Category Kit tab or the stock custom category (accessed from the Advanced Mode in the part picker, also has subcategories) to find the parts. Delete the Hide_Parts.cfg file from the ModularLaunchPads/Category folder to bring the parts back to the Structural tab. IMPORTANT: Use of the left-shift key with the offset gizmo is required to customize the layout of the bases and towers, holding it down when dragging the gizmo's arrows gives you 20m of offset range; otherwise you won't be able to move a part very far. IMPORTANT: B9PS node-moving function doesn't work properly with rescaled parts, but the latest version of Realism Overhaul has patches to work around this error with the affected Modular Launch Pads parts, primarily the modular service tower sections with the top node that is moved as height variants are selected. I provide no support for RSS/RO/RP-1. Use at your own risk. I don't use RO so I cannot help with it, sorry. Please ask the RO users for help in using Modular Launch Pads in RO/RP-1. IMPORTANT: NOT compatible with Katniss Cape Canaveral, the launch bases will not work with it, they will explode upon spawn. If you want to try to get MLP to work with KCC, then you are on your own. IMPORTANT: The new anchoring system introduced into KSP after 1.8.1 causes a problem with the crew elevators, where the Kerbals riding the elevator car up start to phase through the bottom of the car floor and may even fall out entirely. The elevator car speeds have been slowed down to help reduce this effect, but cannot be eliminated completely. Solutions to this problem are either have the Kerbals jump and/or move while the car is going up, or else attach command chairs to the floor of the car and install Animated Attachment to have them move with the car. ================================================================================================================= NEW in 2.8.0 NEW Vandenberg SLC-6 Shuttle Mount and Tower parts. NEW Atlas-Agena Service Tower. NEW Atlas SLV3-Centaur Service Tower and modified umbilical arms. NEW Atlas I/II Service Tower and custom Umbilical Arm. NEW Modular version of the Delta IV Service Tower with core and top section parts. Remade the Round and Rectangular General Launch Stands and gave them adjustable-height legs. Modified the Shuttle Launcher Base with integrated adjustable SRB hold-downs and custom decks for different shuttle stacks, as well as an SLS variant. Modified many of the launch stands and launch plates by minimizing the stretchy launch clamp module meshes and adding a switcher to turn them off. Added blank decouple animations to all launch clamp bases, stands and plates to prevent throwing an orange-color NRE in the log. Removed the few RO craft files of mine as they are at risk of becoming outdated. NEW in 2.7.0 Revised Atlas Launch Stand by tweaking the meshes of the Atlas Pipes and adding deploy limit slider animations to allow the pipes to be used with the new Bluedog Design Bureau Atlas. Updated BDB Compatibility patch with atatch nodes for the new BDB Atlas 3400 and Atlas V 5300 tanks. Renamed RO Example craft files to begin with "MLP RO Example". NEW in 2.6.0 New General Launch Bases in six sizes--Micro, Mini, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large--with different styling and fewer exhaust hole options per base. New Ariane V Flat Mast and Scissor Umbilical. New General SRB Hold-Down part with adjustable bolts. New N1 basic modular stackable tower part and separate platform part. New Aerobee Launch Stand-Tower with optional integrated cover New Modular Multi Tower part in three different sizes, each main size has multiple sub-sizes. New separate Multi Top part for all the sizes. New Micro General Strongback Tower featuring partial Electron styling, fits on the mew Micro Launch Base. Minimized the size of the launch clamp meshes in the launch bases, stands and plates that don't rely on them for the visual structure; added switch to turn them off, which does not affect the actual clamp function. Retitled a number of the General Parts to follow a more coherent and consistent naming scheme. Added craft files for the KNES Ariane V, TantaresLV N1, Chrayol PSLV, DodoLabs Electron and Taerobee Aerobee rockets. The three old General Launch Bases have been deprecated in preparation for version 3, they will not make the move to v3.0. Version 2.5.3 Note: Added patch, courtesy of KSP Forum member Zelda, to remove MOARdv's Avionics Systems (MAS) flight computer from the MLP crew arms and elevators that have crew capacity and the stock generic3 IVA. MAS (and maybe with the use of the Reviva mod as well) causes the screen to go black when these parts are present. NEW in 2.5.0 Added crew capacity to all Crew Elevators and hatches (Airlocks) to the elevator cars, so Kerbals can still "ride" the elevators up and avoid the anchoring system shenanigans which plague Kerbals on EVA. The hatches have no mesh, but the colliders are big enough for easy clicking. Elevator car floor should be at least a few cm above any crew arm walkway or tower floor to avoid the hatches being blocked. Greatly increased the speed of all crew elevator cars, as the slow speeds were no longer necessary with the new hatches. Apologies to anyone wanting to use the elevators normally in KSP versions after 1.8.1. NEW in 2.4.0 Added additional height variant, front wall options and umbilical attach nodes to the Mini General Crew Elevator Core. Added new Mini Crew Walkway, a stripped-down short version of the Mercury-Atlas Crew Walkway, designed for the Mini General Crew Elevator. Retitled the crew elevators and crew arms to a standard scheme so they will be grouped together in the CCK category in Simple Mode. Retitled the General Service Tower parts to add "General" at the front so they will be grouped together in the CCK category in Simple Mode. NEW in 2.3.0 Added Delta IV Launch Stand, Service Tower and three Delta IV-specific swing arms. Added attach nodes for rockets to all four launch rails and updated Module Decouple for the rails accordingly. Rockets still can surface attach to the rails, and made the rails surface-attachable too. Modified the Saturn Hammerhead Crane to have a switch between the full crane and the remnant core, which appeared for some shuttle launches. Added v2.3 craft file for the Bluedog Design Bureau Delta IV Heavy using the new Delta IV parts. Updated BDB MLP patches, adding extra attach nodes for the Delta IV lower core tank and the Saturn LRB Engine Mount. Updated MLP Custom Category. NEW in 2.2.0 NEW: Animated Decouplers has been replaced by Staged Animation, graciously provided by NathanKell Staged Animation, It has the same animation staging function and decoupler icon, but no actual decoupler function. It also works with Mechjeb's auto-staging feature. NEW: All uses of the stock ModuleAnimateGeneric have been replaced with ModuleAnimateGenericExtra, contained within the StageAnimation .dll and also graciously provided by NathanKell. This version allows for custom titles of the deploy limit sliders used by many of the parts, and also can fully disable the animation toggle/start/end buttons. The PAWs for those parts are now far more understandable as a result. NEW: Titan III Launch Stand added to the historic launch stands group. It is designed to work with the existing Titan III Auxiliary Mast and Service Tower parts. Can be configured for both the Titan III and Titan IV, and has integrated hold-down bolts that are fully adjustable in position. NEW: General Fallback Umbilical Tower added to the General Service Towers group. It is a generalized, square-truss version of the Thor/Delta Fallback Tower, with many more height variants. NEW: Extra Large General Crew Elevator added to the General Crew Elevators group. It replaces the old 130m height version of the Large Crew Elevator Base, and is compatible with the Large Crew Elevator Section and Side Extension. NEW: Saturn Milkstool Launch Stand has been added. It is a standalone launch-clamp version of the Saturn Milkstool part, with a short height variant along with the default full-height version. REVISED: General Droop Umbilicals have been remade, with an additional size added. An adjustable-length mount extension tube has also been added to provide better custom-fitting to a rocket stage. REVISED: Large Crew Elevator has been revised with new General and Saturn truss styles; the General style is the same as that of the new Extra Large Elevator. The Elevator Tower Section also now has more switchable detail optons to allow it to be used with the Extra Large Elevator. REVISED: Color of the side panels for the Large and Extra Large Crew Elevator towers can now be separately switched. REVISED: More attach nodes for umbilicals and swing arms, including new side mount rails, have been added to the Large General Crew Elevator Section part. REVISED: Large Crew Arm now has an option for a bare hatch interface, with all three sides open and no angled hatch brace. REVISED: An additional height variant has been added to the Large, Medium and Small General Modular Service Towers. More attach nodes for umbilicals and swing arms have been added as well. REVISED: Integrated hold-down support pads have been added back into the Large, Medium and Small General Launch Bases. These have three width options, and are adjustable in position with newly custom-titled deploy limit sliders. REVISED: The Delta II single-piece service tower now has an adjustable-height structural detail group via deploy limit slider, so it can be positioned where desired. REVISED: The Atlas Launch Stand's center clamps are now toggleable like the side umbilicals, for use with the Atlas IIAS (the one with the Castor SRBs). REVISED: The Redstone Launch Stand's integrated umbilical pole can now be switched among 8 positions on the ring, and it's horizontal position is now adjusted with a deploy limit slider. REVISED: The Mercury-Redstone Crew Elevator now has a new long mount rail option, and the tower's rollback position can now be adjusted with a deploy limit slider. REVISED: The Titan II GLV Service Tower droop-style umbilical arms have been revised to match the style of the revised General one, and also include the adjustable extension tube. The Gemini version also has been changed to match. REVISED: The Saturn Launch Stand has been retitled the Saturn IB Launch Stand to make clear what it was designed after. REVISED: The old Saturn V combo swing arm part has been separated into individual arm parts, one for each Saturn V arm (8 total) and one for the Saturn IB's S-IB first stage. Internal revisions have made each arm much smaller in size than those in the old integrated part, and only one animation is now run when retracted. REVISED: The old Saturn Tower General Swing arm has been converted into a telescoping adjustable arm like that of the General Swing Arms, greatly reducing the complexity and .mu size as a result. The pipes can also now be independently switched among 15 variants. REVISED: The Saturn and Shuttle Launch Bases now have the attach nodes for towers and accessories move properly when the base is rotated with the B9PS switcher. The things attached to those nodes won't rotate, but they will be in the right position. REVISED: The Saturn Tower Hammerhead Crane now has an 180° rotation animation and a deploy limit slider to adjust the rotation amount. REVISED: The two crew access arms for the Shuttle FSS Tower have been retitled to "Shuttle Tower Crew Access Arm: Orbiter" and "Shuttle Tower Crew Access Arm: Rodan" to position them later in the part list. REVISED: Title changes for the Saturn Tower sections, Shuttle Tower sections and Shuttle Tower arms to better position them in the part list. REVISED: Nunmerous edits to to the part .cfg files to add/modify B9PS UI Groups and switchers, and to use StagedAnimation and ModuleAnimateGenericExtra where needed. REVISED: Edits to the Saturn and Shuttle custom subcategory names to "Saturn V Mobile Launcher" and "Space Shuttle Launch Platform". NEW in 2.1.0 NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW All parts are now hidden from the stock Structural category. Use the custom CCK category tab or the stock custom category (which has subcategories) to find the parts. Delete the Hide_Parts.cfg in the Category folder if you want the parts back in the Structural tab. The former multi-size merged parts have been split off into separate parts, but the older internal part name is still used for one the new parts. Existing v2.0 craft files will still load, but most likely won't look the same, and will need to be rebuilt. NEW: Historical launch stands for the Bluedog Design Bureau Vanguard, Redstone/Jupiter/Juno, Thor/Delta, Atlas and Titan II rockets, but can be used with other rockets of the same diameters. NEW: Historical service towers for the new historical launch stands. The Titan II tower comes in single-piece and modular section versions.

NEW: Rodan Crew Access Arm, sized for the Tundra Exploration Rodan (SpaceX Crew Dragon) capsule, and used with the Shuttle FSS Tower. NEW: General Mounting Platform, an alternate version of the Mini Flat Launch Base, with solid deck, toggleable railings and side attach nodes. Use for supporting ground structures. REVISED REVISED REVISED REVISED REVISED: General Launch Stand has been split into separate Round and Rectangle versions, and both completely remade. Redstone-style service pole removed from Round version (now in the Redstone Launch Stand), but still available as a separate part. REVISED: Flat and General Launch Bases have been split into separate sizes, with added detail and hole options, and new ladders. Ladders and railings have separate switchable colors. REVISED: General Service Towers have been split into separate size versions, and each split into separate modular section parts: stackable core, multi-height section (except for the Extra-Large Tower) and top section with optional mast(s). REVISED: The former General Crew Elevator and Crew Arm have been renamed the Large General Crew Elevator and Crew Arm. Elevator has been split into modular section parts, with two versions of the base. Large Crew Arm has separate Large and Small Elevator mount types, and more length variants. Large Elevator Tower also has a separate Extension section for mounting on the tower side REVISED: General Swing Arms have been split into separate size versions, and all completely remade. REVISED: General Straight Umbilicals remade. REVISED: Atlas V Service Mast and Delta II Service Tower, with additional details and/or changed styling. Separate modular section versions now available. REVISED: Former Small Test Stand had been split into three separate versions: Cradle type, Tower Type and Engine Type. REVISED: Flat Vertical Bolt General Hold-Down now has a tall bolt variant. REVISED: Saturn and Shuttle Towers have been split into separate modular sections, consisting of the base, multi-heght core, 2-height crew access and top. REVISED: Shuttle FSS tower sections have an alternate SpaceX-style black&white color scheme, and optional mesh side panels added. REVISED: Shuttle RSS Hinge has been split off into a separate part, with the detail being toggleable, and black color option added. Now the current state of the FSS on LC-39A can be recreated without having to add the full RSS. REVISED: Saturn Hammerhead Crane is now an animated part instead of free-rotating. The original-style lightning mast is included, also still available separately. REVISED: The tall white cylinder alternate Saturn Lightning Mast is now the Shuttle Lightning Mast with different mount options. REVISED: Saturn and Shuttle Launch Bases can now be properly rotated using B9PartSwitch--no more misaligned support legs! REVISED: Mass values for the Saturn and Shuttle tower sections have been reduced to tiny amounts. REVISED: The Freestanding versions of the Saturn and Shuttle Launch Bases (in the Extras folder of the download) now have switchable masses: 1 ton for transport, 2000 tons for on the launch pad. REVISED: Soyuz Launch Base parts now have a third blue color option, based on the ESA Soyuz pad colors. REVISED: Soyuz Large Fuel Arm, Small Fuel Arm and Gantry. More height options, straight-sided extension for the Small Arm and switchable-adjustable platform stack for the Gantry. GENERAL GENERAL GENERAL Extensive use of B9PartSwitch transform move and rotate, node move and UI Group features for smaller part sizes and easier to understand Part Action Windows. All launch clamp bases and stands can now have the staging disabled when a milkstool or launch rail or other part is attached to them. Various part title and description changes; part cost is now 1 for everything. Removed simple rescale patch from Extras. Realism Overhaul now directly supports Modular Launch Pads, ask the RO devs for additional support/help if needed, it is their responsibility. Remade all craft files for v2.1. Subassemblies removed, there are now four Example MLP craft files (with a stock rocket for demo purposes), along with bare versions of the Saturn and Shuttle launchers. ================================================================================================================= Recommended Mods: The LC-39 pad statics in particular from KSC Extended are a great companion to the Saturn and Shuttle launchers; the shuttle launcher especially only properly fits on the KSC Extended LC-39, with the RSS sitting entirely on the top of the pad static. The FSS base and RSS both have an alternate variant for the LC-39 pad which shortens the supports so they sit correctly on the top of the pad static. BDB as it is known is the perfect part mod for Modular Launch Pads, as many of the launch stands and towers were designed for and even around BDB rockets. ================================================================================================================= Installation Instructions Modular Launch Pads v2.2 is only for KSP versions 1.8.1 and higher, older KSP versions are no longer supported. Modular Launch Pads v2.1 is only for KSP versions 1.8.1 and higher, older KSP versions are no longer supported. Delete any existing Modular Launch Pads folder. Always do this when updating, as file names can change, and simply copying a new version over the older one can cause problems. In the download .zip file, there is a GameData folder. Copy the folders ModularLaunchPads, B9PartSwitch, CommunityCategoryKit and StagedAnimation from there into your KSP GameData folder. DO NOT put the GameData folder from the .zip into your KSP GameData folder, there can be only one GameData. If you already have the latest versions of the dependencies, then you do not need to copy them over. Otherwise copy over the ones you need from the .zip into your KSP GameData folder. B9PartSwitch is required for all mesh and texture switching, as well as transform moving, node moving and the UI Groups, and must be present in your KSP GameData. CommunityCategoryKit is required, as the parts are hidden from the stock categories by default, and the custom CCK category is needed to find them. The included stock custom category (located in the Advanced mode of the part picker) can also be used, and includes subcategories. Staged Animation is required and replaces Animated Decouplers, but it also has ModuleAnimateGenericExtra, which gives deploy limit sliders custom titles. Staged Animation does the same animation staging function but without any need for a decoupler action (still gives a decouple icon in the staging stack) Craft files go into your KSP/saves/xxxx/Ships/VAB folder. Subassemblies go into your KSP/saves/xxxx/Subassemblies folder The Extras Folder has the older freestanding versions of the Saturn and Shuttle Launch Bases. Copy the .cfg and .mu files into the ModularLaunchPads/Saturn_Shuttle folder to use them. ================================================================================================================= * * * * v2.2 Features * * * * ================================================================================================================= General Bases and Towers: The Core (cick for full version) Multi-purpose non-specific launch bases, launch stands, launch plates, service towers, crew arms, umbilicals and swing arms for mix-and-match creations.

Overview After over 2 years of improving and learning, hopefully it is worth the wait to those who watched along the way. I started this project as an innocent curiosity, then a personal project that meant something to me. I wanted to set this one apart from the majority of planet mods. I wanted this to be good; as good as I could make it, and did the best I could with my lil' Macbook; with TextEdit and GIMP. I’ll see to even better as updates come. I hope you all enjoy what I have to share! This pack adds a whole new high-quality star system, Polaris, for you to explore, situated directly above the home system at 4.3 kerbal light years! The system is based on Polaris, but also has inspiration from WASP-12, Mu Arae, and our own Sol. It primarily adds giant planets and their satellites, with more to come in the future. The objects feature various scatters on their surfaces, so they’re not so barren! No pre-1.8 terrain shader either. For those with lower end computers, don’t worry! You won’t need visual mods to see wonderful worlds. I’ve designed it partly with no visuals in mind, but it’ll look even better with them! If Kopernicus Expansion is installed, wormholes will appear that can take you to and fro! SCIENCE NOTE: This is not a fully realistic recreation of the real Polaris System. The real system is quite young, has no detected planets so far, and the outermost star is an F-type, not an Alpha Centauri A analogue. Sorry Star Trek fans! This isn’t a Trek-themed pack. Celestial body list Delta-V map courtesy of @WarriorSabe! Gallery Thanks to @Clonosand @ballisticfox0for taking these wonderful pictures! Required mods --Being a mod that adds celestial bodies, it requires Kopernicus and its own prerequisites. Recommended/Optional mods --Arthur's TiltUnlocker will make Gyro sit on its side! Beware: You may run into some bugs with this. One such is its misbehavior with scatterer. --If you want to take a way of getting there that's less of a hassle, try wormholes with Kopernicus Expansion Continued-er! So far I have the stock system (and by extension JNSQ), Beyond Home, Whirligig World, GPP, Alternis Kerbol Rekerjiggered, and GEP primary. --If you want to get there the old fashioned way, I recommend Blueshift, KSPIE, or Far Future Technologies with Calvin's buffed ISP patch. Oh, and Better Timewarp for your convenience. --If you want a nice home that meshes well with this system, try Beyond Home. If you want to give the lone Polaris system some friends, you cannot go wrong with Extrasolar and Galaxies Unbound. Regarding errors If you encounter a problem, provide a snapshot of your GameData and your logs. I can't help you if I don't know what is wrong! See this thread on how: Mod Support —EVE —Scatterer —Sigma loading screens —DOE —Research Bodies —Sigma Dimensions —Most planet mods. Being a mod that adds a whole separate star system, it does not intrude upon any system replacers, system accessories, or other system adders. Download Github Spacedock Being a first mod and first release of said mod, there might be issues. So just report them and bear with me. FAQ -Is there a way to make the system closer? Yes! There is an optional patch I've included to make the distance 10 times closer than normal -I switched back to the KSC and everything looks all glitchy! What can I do!? The KSC will appear all wonky and glitchy if you switch back to it from a long distance. A simple scene change, like going into the VAB and then back, will fix it! -Is this a system replacer? What's the homeworld? This is not a system replacer, but instead a system adder. There are rough plans for a homeswitch in the distant future. Discord It is not my home server, but you can contact me and say hello on the Kopernicus Discord server! https://discord.gg/XmVp23s Changelog Credits @Exo's Lab - For being an all around wonderful person and very supportive of my endeavor. Seriously, thanks a ton. @WarriorSabe - For extra support, remembering lotsa useful things, being a major science wiz, and dropping in logical input.

Outer Planets Expansion Pack Suggestion Box Spacedock Pack (OPX and associated mods) About Long ago, one of my first planet mods I ever played with was the famous Outer Planets Mod. For a while, I had great fun exploring the various moons, but soon I realized that something was lacking. The moon systems of all the gas giants felt almost... empty. Thus, I set to work to rectify this problem. Now, years later, I actually know how to planet mod, and I am proud to announce the Outer Planets Expansion project! This project will take the form of nine mods which will each modify a different segment of the expanded Kerbol System. Each mod can function independently, but it is recommended to have them all because let's be real none of the OPM gas giants realistically start with enough moons for a gas giant system. Unlike the others, OPX-NeidonPlus was brought into the project by a collaboration between me and @Interplanet Janet after several updates on its own, with several additions by me and a restructure of the filepaths. Dependencies Like all planet mods, each OPX mod will require Kopernicus to function. @Pkmniako's MitchellNetravaliHeightMap plugin will be bundled with each installment as they release. Don't forget it, or everything will break. OPX-StockSystemModifications – Github, Spacedock OPX-StockSystemModifications (SSM for short) is a collection of quality of life modifications for the inner solar system. It exists because I was annoyed by minor problems with the inner system, fixed those problems, and compiled all of them into a mod for everyone. Now with two different new Kerbol options! Features: Dependencies: Kopernicus (obviously) Compatible and recommended mods: No specific compatibility was made. If you like BetterKerbol's sun, just set SSM's sun setting to "Stock" and it'll won't mess with it beyond adding a displayName and a biome map. The Minor Planets Expansion is a good mod if you want more stuff to explore in the inner solar system, alongside the obvious OPX-InnerWorlds. Changelog: OPX-InnerWorlds – Github, Spacedock OPX-InnerWorlds aims to fill out the oft-neglected asteroid belt of the Kerbolar System. It adds a number of asteroids throughout the inner system and as far out as Jool (a centaur got in on a technicality). This mod also supersedes the oft-mentioned Janet's Minor Planets, with Doppler, Dyva, and Quazen included among its objects. Features (if you want to discover them yourself, dont open this): Dependencies: Kopernicus Niako's Utilities: Mitchell Netravali Height Map (bundled) Compatible and Recommended Mods: Minor Planets Expansion by @Exo's Lab – 3 Vant and 433 Edas help fill out the inner system alongside OPX-InnerWorlds. Screenshots: Changelog: OPX-JoolPlus – Github, Spacedock OPX-JoolPlus is the first installment of the project to be released. It comes with full biome support for each object that it adds. Below is a map of the Jool System with this mod installed. All objects are either stock or added by this mod (except Aditel, from JoolRetexture) Features (if you want to discover them yourself, dont open this): Dependencies: Kopernicus Niako's Utilities: Mitchell Netravali Height Map (bundled) Compatible and Recommended Mods: Distant Object Enhancement – OPX-JoolPlus comes with a config coloring the distant points of all three new objects within DOE. It looks great, try it out! JoolRetexture – @Clonos' little mod that adds a new moon and makes a new texture for Jool. You can now install this mod alongside my own, with a settings file in my mod folder that allows you to switch between my Jool and his. Kcalbeloh System Planet Pack – This mod adds a wormhole in Jool orbit. To ensure compatibility I include a patch to reparent it to the new Jool object. I have more compatibility patches planned, but they'll be significantly more complicated. INcompatible Mods: Techo's Planet Revamp – Because of the frankly bizarre and unnecessary way that it deletes every single object in the system and remakes them, the combination of that and OPX's modifications to the stock moons' positions results in none of the stock moons existing at all when JoolPlus and TPR are both installed. This is obviously untenable, so you'll unfortunately have to pick one. Screenshots: Changelog: OPX-SarnusPlus – Github, Spacedock OPX-SarnusPlus, the third insallment of the Outer Planets Expansion, adds six new moons to Sarnus and gives it a new texture and physical characteristics. Each new object comes with full biome support, and orbit modifications are made for most of the existing moons. Features (if you want to discover them yourself, dont open this): Dependencies: Kopernicus Outer Planets Mod (the original) Niako's Utilities: Mitchell Netravali Height Map (bundled) Compatible and Recommended Mods: Kopernicus Expansion – adds footprints when you EVA. Play with it. Or don't, I'm not a cop. ResearchBodies – self-explanatory. I dont personally play with it but if you want to the compatibility is there. TarsierSpaceTech – the mod comes with sciencedefs for when you look at the new bodies through a telescope, if you play with that sort of thing No specific compatibility exists at present. Planned compatibility includes: ReSarnus Distant Object Enhancement Planetshine EVE and Scatterer Parallax (in the distant future) Screenshots: Changelog: OPX-UrlumPlus – Github, Spacedock OPX-UrlumPlus adds two new moons to Urlum, rebalances the orbits of the existing OPM moon system, redoes the appearance of Urlum and its rings from scratch (rings by @TheOrios), and makes sure that the system actually rotates clockwise like the description says it does. This mod is much farther from completion than JoolPlus or NeidonPlus, and future updates will add things like new asteroid moons, a trojan companion for Urlum, biomes for Dathil, and more. Features (if you want to discover them yourself, dont open this): Dependencies: Outer Planets Mod Kopernicus (obviously) Niako's Utilities (bundled) Compatible and Recommended Mods: Kopernicus Expansion – adds footprints when you EVA. Play with it. Or don't, I'm not a cop. ResearchBodies – self-explanatory. I dont personally play with it but if you want to the compatibility is there. TarsierSpaceTech – the mod comes with sciencedefs for when you look at the new bodies through a telescope, if you play with that sort of thing No specific compatibility exists at present. Planned compatibility includes: Distant Object Enhancement Planetshine EVE and Scatterer Parallax (in the distant future) Screenshots: Changelog: OPX-NeidonPlus – Github, Spacedock OPX-NeidonPlus is the second installment to be released. Originally created by @Interplanet Janet as a separate mod, I created two and a half new objects and full biome maps for all the existing ones for its integration into the OPX project. Features (if you want to discover them yourself, dont open this): Dependencies: Kopernicus Niako's Utilities: Mitchell Netravali Height Map (bundled) Recommended mods for compatibility: Distant Object Enhancement – OPX-NeidonPlus comes with a config coloring the distant points of all new objects within DOE. It looks great, try it out! Minor Planets Expansion – Adds several objects to the vicinity of Neidon, making it less lonely. They fit with the artstyle of OPX as a whole, furnishing any Neidon explorer with further destinations beyond. OPX-FinalFrontiers (when I finish it) – Another installment of the OPX project, this mod adds further destinations in the same vein as MPE. This mod doesn't actually exist yet, I just pretyped this blurb to save some time later Screenshots: Changelog: Upcoming Installments: In the coming weeks and months, I will continue work on the four gas giant expansions, adding more features to each. After that, I will begin work on the tentatively named "OPXtras", four installments that add other objects to the edges of the solar system (be they the literal edge or the edge of the size graph): FinalFrontiers (dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt), UndiscoveredCountries (Planet 9 and 10), InnerWorlds (inner system minor bodies), and CometsPlus; which each fill in a number of gaps left by the Minor Planets Expansion and add unique gameplay challenges that are not offered in any other mods to my knowledge. Please let me know if you enjoy this mod, and if you didn't, what I can fix or add. Thank you for downloading! Credits: Frequently Asked Questions: Licence: MIT

This project has been discontinued for reasons I am keeping private. All downloads have been removed and no support will be given. The Vulture System The Vulture Star is a main sequence star similar but more massive to Kerbol. It holds 6 planets, all with individual backstories. The Vulture System is my first ever full Kerbal Space Program project, taking about a month to complete. Github Repo Donate Bodies The Vulture System has 6 planets and 13 moons, making for a total of 19 celestial bodies in total. Features 19 detailed bodies with their own individual stories and high amounts of care put into creation. Two gas giants with detailed moons. Hints toward life and the previous existence of it in the system. Scatterer / EVE support. DistantObject support. PlanetShine support. Installation Requirements: Kopernicus (Should also work with the Bleeding Edge however unrecommended). The Mod Itself (Download Latest Release Here) Scatterer - Not technically requied, but due to an unfixable bug with Kopernicus is extremely recommended to prevent this from appearing. You simply need to install Kopernicus (and it's dependencies) + the Vulture System into your KSP's GameData folder. Vulture should work with 1.9.1+ Recommended Mods: EVE - Adds clouds to both Palleo and Desolation. Make sure to get the stock configs (BoulderCo Folder) for this too! Planet Shine - Makes your vessels reflect the colors of the planet. DistantObject - Makes the planets visible from a distance. Interstellar Extended - Interstellar travel parts. These mods follow a similar installation process. Credits Kopernicus Discord Server - Main place I went to for help and feedback. Great community. @Caps Lock - Made Vulture's sunflare and gave a lot of feedback. Support The best way to get support regarding Vulture is to make a reply on the forum thread (where you are now), or to make an issue on the github repo. Cool Screenshots Licence Squad requires all addons be released with a licence. Vulture is licenced under Apache License 2.0. For a basic rundown you can go here.

FINAL DAWN CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Final Dawn is the second and best mod I've published so far. The universe has met it's end, but life keeps struggling: as do the kerbals. As two of the blackest stars collided, heat was released and a system was born. Eager to finally have a place to live again, a desert world was terraformed in the greatest mission to terraform yet. All that's left to do, is to rediscover ancient technology, and to rediscover a system forgotten. Final Dawn, being set around a white dwarf, is very hard relative to other planet packs. Approach with caution. Stock screenshots: Screenshots with visual mods: Maps: Download on SpaceDock: https://spacedock.info/mod/2597/Final Dawn Compatible mods: Thanks for reading! I hope you'll have a lot of fun playing this mod -Caps

THE MINOR PLANETS EXPANSION - 1.0.8 This One's for the Little Guys! I have worked on this mod for a few months now. It all started after I failed to find a mod that added analogues to various minor planets that was on par with something like OPM, or at the very least compatible, and the few mods I did find were all outdated. I took it upon myself to make a mod myself that would fill in these missing niches in the Stock+OPM system. Particularly, asteroids, comets, centaurs, and dwarf planets. I wrote down a list of nine objects, and now, four months later, I have now created my first planet pack! All of these new worlds were made from hand-drawn maps, with very little reliance on real world data to ensure a stock-alike feel. This mod is made to be used along side OPM, think of it as an unofficial, fan-made expansion pack for OPM. The analogue list: Edas - Eros Vant - Vesta Zore - Psyche Lint/Mikey - 67P Crokslev - Chariklo Geito - Halley's Comet Havous - Haumea Kal - Namaka Ki'KI - Hi'iaka Mracksis - Makemake Flake - MK2 (not really, but it's a moon around a Makemake analogue) Ervo - Eris Archae - Dysnomia Soden - Sedna Lon - No Real-World Analogue Images: (taken from the v1.1 update which is still in development, the difference between what is shown and currently released is relatively minor) Bonus Features: (Can Be Disabled by Deleting the "Bonus" Folder) REQUIREMENTS: Kopernicus KSPCommunityFixes (Turn off Stock Maneuver Tool in Settings) DOWNLOAD: SpaceDock Link GitHub Link This mod can also be acquired through CKAN! License - MIT A Word of Warning: SpaceDock/CKAN Still Carries the Initial 1.1.0 Build DO NOT Use 1.1.0's Parallax Config - THEY ARE UNSTABLE MPE 1.1.1 "Not-Minor Update" Patch Notes: If you have a bug? Report it!

Welcome to the official Celestial Harmony thread ! Celestial Harmony is a sequel to the famous Beyond Home planet pack by @Gameslinx, set in the distant future where kerbalkind had to ultimately flee the Tempus system after Destiny entered its red giant phase and engulfed Fate during its expansion. Kerbalkind now find itself inside the Harmonia system, a rare and luxurious system featuring an habitable binary : Sanctar & Alia (Alia in current final phases of terraformation), where kerbalkind now calls home. Radio signals seem to be emitting from several bodies in the system, revealing abandonned artificial objects scattered across the system; Kerbals are not the first to have been here. Explore and find all of the anomalies to uncover the mysterious disparition of those who were here before and to trace them to their final destination, where they met or not their Demise. (Future *Chaos* star system that will be available in v1.0) This mod is currently under developpement. Here are the current available features: A complete Harmonia System - Mostly refined planets with unique caracteristics. Custom ground scatters and ground textures. Custom anomalies (easter eggs) / In progress, currently 5. Custom science definitions Custom scatterer and EVE configs + textures This mod is axed towards exploration, the goal is to provide a unique experience without too many repetitive planet explorations (to avoid similar bodies with same characteristics). Celestial Harmony is my first ever planet pack and I am continuously updating it with new aquired knowledge to meet today's standards for planet packs. The mod has a story told across diverse ways in the mod, paying attention to details could be useful. Watch the alpha trailer here (1.0 trailer coming soon) : (Most of the features presented in the trailer have been updated by now and are of better quality) Since Celestial Harmony is a system replacer, it is NOT compatible with other system replacers such as JNSQ, Beyond Home, Homeswitches, etc. Celestial Harmony has its own configs for certain visual mods. See below for more details. KSC Switcher is not supported. This is a list of mods that are NEEDED in order for Celestial Harmony to work: Kopernicus Niako's Kopernicus Utilities* VertexHeightOblateAdvanced by Lt_Duckweed* Duckweed's easy emissives* (* means they are bundled and do not require any external downloads) Celestial Harmony is compatible / provides support for the following mods : EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements - Supports volumetric clouds, do NOT install StockVolumetricClouds, Celestial Harmony has its own configs and textures Scatterer - If your scatterer download has a StockScattererConfigs folder, do not remove it Parallax (Parallax Continued is supported) Parallax_StockTextures is needed Kcalbeloh System -WH3141-A (the wormhole on our side) will orbit around Aklarka. Planet packs that do not replace the stock system. Kerbal Konstruct : Custom launch sites on Sanctar Badly stitched together System map (Click the image above to be redirected to the Github page where you can download the mod) Future plans: At full release (1.0) Celestial Harmony will feature an additional star system, the Chaos system, composed of a Sun-like star and a distant brown dwarf sub-system. Some previews (Those are bodies that will release along 1.0, they are not yet available): Clost and Lorte Sublime Binary planets In the future additional star systems will come along as Celestial Harmony's stellar neighborhood. The first system coming in this sub-mod will be the Misfortune system; the remnants of the Tempus system For any support join the official Celestial Harmony discord server : https://discord.com/invite/rGF5Ge9y7f Licensing : All Rights Reserved by ProximaCentauri (To be changed on 1.0 release)

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

Threads of the Month: April 2023 Edition Kcalbeloh System is a planet pack adding an entirely new black hole system with 30 unique celestial bodies, including a super-massive black hole, 4 stars, 15 planets, and 10 moons and asteroids, each with its own unique set of challenges and features. This planet mod provides a diverse range of environments for Kerbals to explore, such as a planet with surface torn apart by tidal force, binary gas giants with multiple moons, a planet tidally locked by its parent star, and a small moon with a twisted surface. Like the movie Interstellar, there are also a pair of wormholes available for Kerbals to jump between Kerbol system and Kcalbeloh system, adding another layer of exploration and excitement. If you're looking for an exciting and rewarding space adventure, Kcalbeloh System is an excellent addition to Kerbal Space Program, providing tens or even hundreds of hours of entertainment. I really appreciate everyone who has followed this mod. Also thanks to everyone who has provided suggestions, bug reports, or any other forms of help. Also, if you have a cool idea and want to contribute to this project, feel free to let me know. Get ready to blast off into the cosmos and embark on a thrilling journey through the Kcalbeloh System.

From the terraformed landscapes of Mars-like planets to the lush green expanses of exoplanets, every celestial body offers new challenges and discoveries. Uncover historical landmarks and artifacts scattered across the planets, remnants of ancient civilizations and epic battles that hint at the complex alternate history. Engage in unique missions and science experiments designed to immerse you in the lore of Sternenfront, guiding you through a narrative that spans centuries of antient innovation and conflict. Prepare for liftoff, and let the adventures of Sternenfront ignite your passion for exploration. This is a work in Progress mod that is based on a project on DeviantArt. This mod requires: Kopernicus, Niako's Kopernicus Utilities, & Duckweed Utils.

Decided to attempt to revamp the stock system. ill update this topic with my process Dependencies: Latest Kopernicus Kopernicus Expansion v9.1.1 Niako's Kopernicus Utilities Notes: - Parallax continued compatibility is spotty atm, if you have issues try removing it. - Parallax 2 is supported but you need to re-enable the configs in the mod folder, then remove parallax continued configs. - There is still some mystery issues causing some people to be unable to load the mod, hopefully ill find out why eventually. - Please download from github for the latest (possibly buggy) experience, spacedock takes way too long to upload for me to bother until i have a proper release ready. - Finally big credits to Cloverdove for helping me with the Jool system!

24/01/2024: Important update 0.2.0! Major performance fixes! Read the two sections below "Download" for more info. APP (Avalon Planet Pack or Avali Planet Pack) is a planet pack for KSP, built to tell not the story of Kerbalkind’s first venture into space, but that of the Avali, the avian alien species known from the popular Starbound mod. Avalon comes bundled with a mod to replace some of the Kerbal models in-game with Avali, and some flavour texts have been changed to include Avali references. APP has you start from the Avali homeworld of ’Avalon’ (hence the mod’s name), which isn’t a planet, but a moon orbiting an Ice Giant! This means an abundance of early-game destinations and science, but it’ll only get harder after that. Avalon is orbiting Solakku, a high-mass star near the galaxy’s core. Having a more massive star means planetary orbits are scaled up compared to the stock Kerbin system. Transfer windows are rare, transfer times long, and antennas don’t reach nearly as long as you might want them to. To make it far, you will need to plan ahead, and get the most efficiency you possibly can out of each launch. ISRU will be a heavy part of any playthrough, and Avalon is ready, with complete configs for CRP, SpaceDust and Kerbalism resources. There is also three interstellar destinations in the pack: Crest, a red-dwarf directly orbiting Solakku. Karat, a dead white dwarf a medium distance away from Avalon, and Amber Light, a red giant flying by the rest of the systems, luckily quite far away. Avalon Radius: 0.75 Kerbin Radii Gravity: 0.25g Atmospheric Pressure: 1.5 atm Orbiting: Valaya, ice giant Avalon is difficult to launch from, due to the intense atmospheric drag, through an optimal location for building SSTOs (you can break orbital velocity at sea level or eject to escape velocity using only jets), and, being a moon, also provides an increased difficulty for navigation. Its surface is covered in oceans made not out of water, but of a mixture of water and ammonia, as the mean surface temperature is a round -30°C. It does still posses an ocean of liquid water, but deep underground, warmed by tidal forces. Its surface is additionally cooled by the constant presence of a cloud cover blocking light from reaching the surface. Its perfectly habitable conditions for the Avali, an ammonia-based life form. It shares the sky of Valaya with 5 other moons, some easier to reach than others. They will be your most valuable locations for early exploration, and good spots for fueling up. The journeys between planets here will be long and fuel-intensive. System Layout Full map of all solar systems in the pack (names only, no image spoilers): Map of just the Solakku system, with images of each celestial body (slight spoilers!): Screenshots (spoilers) Tips for playing Build relays! The stock antennas aren’t anywhere powerful enough to reach even the outer planets, so you will need to strategically deploy relays not just around the planets, but also orbiting Solakku itself. Over-do transfer burns! Even getting to the nearest planet to Avalon takes over a decade. Getting to one of the outer planets takes up to 200+ years. It is basically required to burn additional dV on each transfer to get to where you’re going in a reasonable amount of time. Near-Future electric engines are really good for this. Launch multiple missions per transfer window! A few particular windows only come around every few decades (the window to Edith being the longest, only once every 20 years), so you really need to launch all the missions you can for each. ISRU is your friend! SpaceDust is a heavily recommended install. The other moons make for really good places to fuel (or build, depending on your mods) interplanetary crafts. If in science mode, set science rewards slider to 40% in difficulty settings for a more balanced experience. Bundled mods These mods are required, but included with the pack download, and you shouldn’t need to install them individually. Better Skybox (custom-made for this pack, License: MIT) Tholin’s PQS Additions (custom-made for this pack, License: MIT) Required mods These mods must be installed before the planet pack. Kopernicus Kopernicus Expansion Continueder Scatterer KSP Community Fixes (see "Known Issues" below) Heavily recommended mods! The pack will technically load without these, but may be unplayable past a certain point. I designed the pack with these mods in mind. Avali Space Program Near Future Technologies Far Future Technologies Though KSP-IE should also work Community Tech Tree JX2 Antenna EVE In general, you will benefit from having a large set of mods while playing this pack. Mod support Additional, APP supports the following mods, if you have them installed: Community Resource Pack SpaceDust Planet Shine Distant Object Enhancement EVE Rational Resources Kerbalism (resource configs only) Known Issues You will need to install KSP Community Fixes and disable the stock manouver tool in its settings, or else the game will lag heavily, and eventually crash when orbiting one of the other three stars. This happens even when not currently using the manouver tool, as its code is always running in the background. This is a stock KSP bug, and not something I appear to be able to fix, unfortunately. Distant Object Enhancement may interfere with my custom skybox shader, which will appear in-game as the skybox being way too dark. To fix this, go to the Distant Object Enhancement settings in the toolbar, and disable the option for Max Skybox Brightness On some of the smaller moons in the pack, placing a flag will occasionally result in the flag spawning displaced far above the surface. Not technically an issue, but nothing in the interstellar star systems has been playtested in science or career mode yet. Expect typos in flavor texts, broken science rewards, and low terrain detail. Note on upgrading When upgrading versions, always make sure to completely uninstall (delete) the previous version first, or you may end up with duplicate files that break the mod install. Download From SpaceDock Config File A config file exists in GameData/Avalon/0-settings.cfg (as of version 0.2.0). Here, you can change some settings including disabling the interstellar destinations if you have little RAM (it won't disable the stars themselves, but their planets). If you are daring, you can edit GameData/Avalon/2-Contracts.cfg where I had to put the lines forcing Kopernicus' on-demand texture loading on. Only set this to false if you have 32GB of RAM or more. Will provide a really good performance boost when on or near a celestial body's surface, though. 24/01/2024: Update 0.2.0 Introduced the config file Now forcing on-demand loading on so the RAM requirements of the pack are no longer astronomical Download size reduced by almost 2GB Fixed Musoya deleting any vessels in its SOI Asteroid belts added around all stars and some planets I switched to a new kind of custom PQS node for 16-bit heightmaps. This doesn't reduce RAM usage of the mod, but reduces download size, install size and load time significantly. Source Source codes for the plugin components of this pack are available on GitHub: BetterSkybox - Tholin's PQS Additions Source for the pack itself is here! Special thanks Various people in the Luna's Mods discord server, for helping me fix issues in the pack. Techo, for his contributions in the form of the moon Ghorun, and Avalon's cloud textures.

About Real Exoplanets Real Exoplanets (REX) is planet pack that adds several confirmed exoplanets into KSP. As the name implies, all of these exoplanets are real, and all of the planetary systems are located exactly where they are in real life. All of the planets have accurate characteristics and the visual appearance of all exoplanets are based off of our current understanding of planetary science (as well as some artistic license when necessary ). Real Exoplanets is compatible with both Real Solar System and the stock, default solar system. With RSS, REX is properly scaled by a factor of 10. DOWNLOAD ON SPACEDOCK OR ON GITHUB Exoplanet List Below is a list of all of the exoplanet systems added into the game by Real Exoplanets.

Welcome to Asteroidz Plus! Asteroidz Plus is a planet mod for KSP2 aims to give players more places to visit within the Kerbolar system, without significantly altering the layout of the classic Kerbol system. The mod features 11 unique Asteroids to explore. These asteroids are celestial bodies, meaning you cant move them around, but you can land on them and orbit in their SOI. Most asteroids can be found between Duna and Jool, but you might find some suprises if you go looking. Some asteroids even have special features! Warning: this mod is still being developed. celestial bodies subject to change- your kerbals may suddenly find themselves underground or on a crash trajectory after updating.

Terras Irradient Introduction: Hello everyone and welcome back to my latest Alt-history series focusing on a "What if" scenario in which NASA pursues a program similar to Apollo. That might sound similar because I've done one in the past where you can find it here, but in all honesty it wasn't that great and I was limited to a completely different solar system/modset - not to mention my interest in KSP dropping to an all-time-low. All things considered this will be a remake of the previous timeline but with better rocket designs that aren't just blatant copies of Eyes Turned Skywards concepts. I also have better visuals now and started making posters just to make it even more believable and somewhat plausible. I hope you will enjoy this reimagination/revitalization Inspiration/Special Thanks: @TruthfulGnome and their amazing No Shortage of Dreams Thread @AmateurAstronaut1969/@Jacktical's Artemis Timeline @Beccab's Integrated Program Plan @Talverd's Chasing Dreams Redux: @Jay The Amazing Toaster's Kānāwai: Ares to Mars And finally @PhazzeeYeehaw on Twitter for their extensive knowledge on the Chinese Space program (see latest post) (In all seriousness you should check them out, all of them have awesome posts and builds) Timeline of Events (subject to change):

CORELIAN - 1.0.5 RELEASE A new home for Dres The system: This mod adds a new ringed gas giant, the eponymous Corelian, to the Kerbal system. It sits right where Dres used to, though with less inclination and eccentricity to make it less inconvenient to travel to. The worlds: Corelian: A pink, ringed gas giant a bit smaller than Jool. 4700km in radius with a gravity of 0.84g; 64% the mass of Jool Thale: a dense, lumpy, Pol-sized body with a fast rotation rate and a close, somewhat irregular orbit. Baseline radius of 52km, with some areas nearly 30km above that. Baseline gravity of 0.113g, though near the highest points on the equator the apparent gravity can be as low as 0.012g due to a combination of elevation and spin rate Pras: a rocky, barren world between Duna and Laythe in size. It has a relatively thin but oxygenated atmosphere, at datum it's 26% of Kerbin's sea level pressure and only 173 kelvins (-100 degrees celsius) in temperature. Radius of 391km, gravity of 0.37g Atraxi: a rocky, Mun-sized world with a relatively high density and large canyons on its surface. Radius of 213km, gravity of 0.246g Dres: the same Dres as before, just now orbiting Corelian with its same eccentricity and inclination. Rotated so that Corelian is visible from the Dres Canyon The mod: Requires Kopernicus Continued. For 1.8.1, instead use the original Kopernicus, and set useAtraxiScatters to false in the settings config. There are no other dependencies apart from those of Kopernicus/Kopernicus Continued, but several mods are supported: Resource configs for Community Resource Pack and Rational Resources Radiation, resource configs, and science reports for Kerbalism Scatterer atmospheres Science reports for SCANSat, SSPXr, and DMagic Orbital Science Configs for Planetshine and Distant Object Enhancement Jool re-patch and tested stability for Principia And a reparenting for if you decide to use this with Beyond Home despite the clashing styles Download: From Spacedock (yes, this mod has actually been around for a while. I just now decided to take a break from developing my next, much bigger mod to give it a touch-up and proper release) From Github Screenshots:

Edge of Eternity The stars have come and gone, but eternity has only just begun Trillions of years ago, the ICS Mercury departed to set up the first extrasolar colony. As it was en route, it encountered a temporal wormhole, into which it was pulled, hurling it both into the far future and untold distances away. In order to avoid the unstable wormhole's imminent collapse, the crew had no choice but to press forward on a journey far longer than the Mercury was ever meant to travel. Over the decades, more and more of the ship had to be cannibalized until they finally reached their destination: a binary system consisting of a red dwarf and a blue dwarf, hosting several planets including one that could possibly sustain them. Unfortunately, due to the ship's state of disrepair, the landing was hard and much was lost, sending them back to the pre-industrial age. While Haven was habitable, it was only barely so: UV radiation was abundant, it had no native life, the oxygen content was only 60% of Kerbin normal despite the denser atmosphere, and the temperature was low enough that major settlements were restricted to near the equator. Despite this, over time, they managed to regain their technology, and are now ready to look upwards to the unending abyss once again. Edge of Eternity is a WIP planet pack set near the end of the stelliferous era of the universe. Most stars are dead, and those that remain are low-mass red dwarfs (and the blue dwarfs they evolve into); Terminus is one of these blue dwarfs. The system favors flyby missions and probes due to the positioning of Haven in the system, and science is balanced against very roughly 30% of stock for most worlds beyond Haven (with a boost around Eterna and particularly Apep to respect the minimum tech requirements of getting science from there) due to the larger number of similar difficulty targets available at once. Gravity assists also are quite effective in the Terminus system. IMPORTANT: At its current state of development it is highly WIP, with many worlds having only placeholder noise-based textures and no custom biomes, and there are doubtless a good few more bugs than you'd see in a completed planet pack. Everything, particularly balance-related things, is subject to change Beta download for those still interested: On Github Required mods: Kopernicus Kopernicus Expansion VertexMitchellNetravaliHeightMap PQS Mod VertexHeightOblateAdvanced PQS Mod Recommended Mods: Either Sigma Replacements - Skybox or Texture Replacer for the starless void of the end-times (really rather immersion-breaking without it) Kronometer, for synching the clocks to Haven's day and year Custom Barn Kit to rebalance the DSN (including adding a fourth level) for a better antenna range progression (note: due to a few strange bugs, disabling the rebalance through the settings.cfg won't disable the CBK configs) Transfer Window Planner, as some transfer windows can be fairly unusual Custom Asteroids for improved handling of asteroid spawning Supported Mods: Community Resource Pack (all resources) SpaceDust Kerbalism Scatterer EVE (note: volumetrics configs are in development but not ready for release) Principia (stability tested to 500 years in current version, started having memory problems and couldn't continue test. Tested to 7000 years in an older version.) PlanetShine (sorta, configs have not been updated in a long time and so don't work on many bodies) Note: Sigma Dimensions is not required for the rescale, 2.56x and 10x are handled fully internally, just activate them in the settings.cfg and you're set. Credit for the artwork in the loading screen image featuring Zephyr goes to @Exo's Lab Diagrams and dV maps: Future plans: near term (likely next update or two) - finish Portent's terrain revamp, port comets to Custom Asteroid support, update PlanetShine configs long term (at some point before release) - science definitions, proper maps and biomes for all remaining planets, higher quality maps for all planets, kspedia, terrain scatters, more thorough balance testing, whatever other miscellany I discover I'll need to add

The Xopak System The Xopak System, inspired by my own system of creation, is a planetary system pack that includes 30 bodies, including 14 planets, 15 moons, and one comet. The system is primarily set light years away, but scaled down from 50 light years to 4.55 light years in 1/11 scale, or 43,000,000,000,000 Kilometers away from Kerbol in-game. This mod is in active development, and will be updated as soon as I have the time to. Features This planet pack includes a variety of worlds, from a world melting near the star, to a binary dwarf system cold and far. With many planets to explore, there is unique opportunities to encounter, and even a few secrets to uncover... Taken with EVE, Scatterer, Blackrack's Volumetric Clouds, TUFX, and Deferred Rendering.

About This is a small planet pack I've lately put all of my effort in, the main goal was to make it as good as possible. It adds a super weapon near Dres named "Dreskiller base" as the weapon threatens to destroy Dres. In case you didn't know, this was inspired by the Starkiller base from Star Wars. I hope you like it The time has come, it's time to get rid of this rock called Dres, Wait what is Dres? Anyways, this snowy superweapon is a whole new place to explore!
