ProtoJeb21 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures I found the research paper about 82 G. Eridani published this month, and it looks like there may be as much as SIX planets orbiting the star. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.05124.pdf The parameters for the three confirmed planets have been updated and constrained as well. It turns out that planet D is in the Optimistic Habitable zone with a temperature around 318*K. Based on its mass (almost 5 times that of Earth) and the star's low metal content, I think this world is actually an ocean planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, until I create that expansion I've been talking about. I generally go by the conservative habitable zone rather than the optimistic one.

For certain types of planets (ocean worlds) and planets around red dwarfs, I take into account to optimistic zone. It's a lot more forgiving with the two examples I just mentioned.

Scotskerb Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think the TrES-2 and HD189733 systems should be added, just because of their amazing planets. And Kepler 438 and 442 for their Earthlike planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpants Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) RSS doesn't appear to like this mod. Whenever I load both of them, it doesn't work and none of the planets, stars, or moons of RSS/RSS Constellations are loaded.

Yes, but I'm nowhere near good enough at KSP to play RSS with stock parts, and I don't have enough knowledge of IRL fuels or engines etc. to play with RO. So Sigma Dimensions is the only way I can play RSS or an other planet pack that depends on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is your problem. Follow the directions in the "Read Me Before Installing!.txt" file. By the way, in that file, there is a typo.

Can you help me out here? On 4/16/2017 at 3:14 PM, AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures said: Haven't added the GJ 570 system. The txt files you see there are placeholders. Also, do not change the distance to be real life scale. You'll summon the kraken. On 4/16/2017 at 3:18 PM, Scotskerb said: You're sure it's not just your computer? I'd like to test this myself.

On 4/16/2017 at 3:36 PM, AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures said: sure You're right. It did explode. However, I was able to safely zoom out far enough to easily see all the stars. Therefore, all that's needed is a warning to not zoom out all the way, which, unfortunately, I did not take the time to include in the folder.

Alternatively, you can simply make a Sigma Dimensions cfg so you only have to update it when I add new bodies.You could even do some module manager magic that would scale the distance of all bodies that are beyond a certain distance. That way, you wouldn't have to update it all all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoJeb21 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures The fourth planet of 82 G. Eridani has just been confirmed! The new planetary parameters listed in the research paper I linked to a few weeks back are now the new legitimate values. However, the original planet D is now named E, and the 330 day planet is now designated D. Very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
