Are there some good planet or environment mods?

[RenegadeRad]

I really love to play Kerbal Space Program, started a month ago and really love aerospace now. Yet, my country does not fair in aerospace engineering so I crie...

Back to topic, I have reached till Eeloo, ignored dres because I really hate it, and explored almost all moons of jool, and also explored other planets. It was really accomplishing and a happy moment for me to reach them, but it felt... dead.

See what I mean, I wish we could have a better environment, shaders, lighting and more types of biomes with unique features, minerals, atmosphere, fog, lava, storms etc. And have some hills too, like we have in kerbin. The planets are really boring, repitative and with no unique things to explore, yes I did see all the easter eggs, but it does not make them lively. Also, the planets are very boring, I wish we had more planets like uranus (hehe) neptune, saturn or other unique ones. Kerbin also needs some population and cities.

My request is that can anyone recommend me some cool mods for all this? If this cannot come in one, I would like individual mods with different features because I really cannot find perfect ones.

Thanks!

Check out Environmental Visual Enhancements. It's currently under active development and looks stunning. There's even a beta for the 1.1 prerelease.

For planets, I am in love with New Horizons. It not only adds new planets but gives you a few traversal challenges that aren't in the stock game.

By the way, I'm impressed that you sapped the system of destinations in a month. That took me over a year.

It's not updated for prerelease yet, but you can never go wrong with KSPRC if it comes to beautification. Might cause some RAM issues on 32bit tough:

There are many planet packs trough Kopernicus, some including new stars. Many come with configs for the popular visual enhancement mods.

Maybe something like this mod?

Because I spend 8 hours a day on this, and the first 5 days all I did was see tutorials, Scott Manely and some studies for Aerospace. Also, I should be honest and write that I do use mechjeb, but not that much. I use it when I am not concentrating on my laptop and doing some other work  

I have a question, what is Kopernicus?

Also, know that the game back then was challenging and seeing you I think you kinda played it from the start, so it is sensical for you to sapp them all within an year, Because agree or not, the updates did make the game "easier" in a way, maybe not for everyone, but yea it did...

From their thread:

"Kopernicus is a KSP add-on that allows for modification of stock planets and the creation of new planets via modification of the system prefab. Why is this advantageous you might ask? Previous planet adder mods, such as Planet Factory, modified the live planetary system and had to keep multiple hacks actively running to provide these worlds. We strive to provide the least hacky solution by introducing planets into the game in the exact same manner Squad would."

I Agree with 5thHorseman, EVE is really cool. As for the planets, my personal favorite is the Outer Planets Mod, which adds analogs of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Guys kopernicus does not work for me. I added EVE mod, New Horizons, near future propulsion, some capsule mods, MechJeb and that's it. I have version 1.0.5 and sometimes when it does works the whole space facility disappears and I see the outer space. And Kerbin is white. Pls help. I really want a voyage to those planets. I also would like a mod like Kerbal Galaxy so I can't do some Interstellar stuff...
