Nice, are you planning to update it?

Yup. Gotta get all the descriptions and stuff done first. If someone could get it on CKAN, that would be brilliant. My computer won't run netkan.exe

I plan to add as much as I can in.

This is great, you should ask the CKAN people, also you're gonna need a license I think.

There is a tutorial on it on the CKAN website.

I have also found out that in April, they found a moon of Makemake, so I'll have to do that.

If you upload it to Spacedock and set the flag 'add to CKAN', then it is automatic.

On it.

Oh, and something else.

This mod needs Kopernicus to function, and also RSS. I reccomend you bundle this with Kopernicus, and put a link of Kopernicus in the desc, and give credit to the Kopernicus author!

 

Keep up the progress man!

It also requires SigmaBinary. I don't want to do that, because people may install Kopernicus et al twice by mistake.

Update 0.13.0 is out!

Get it now!

Finishes porting the mod over to ksp 1.1.2

@ImkSushinice to see a re - release of this mod! Two points of interest:

• It would be a nice idea to add indexes for the new bodies for the bodies to have a consistent ID (crafts around a body won't be teleported to another random one if on a Kopernicus update).
• You can fix Dactyl by fixing the biome map name definition.

I fixed it for the next update.

FAB!

Was patiently and very quietly awaiting this mod to be updated.  I'll never get to all these places, but I like the idea of the possibility! And the beautiful Eye Candy.

Well done Sir!

I'll release 0.13.1 tonight, and then I'll finish the thread.

this is great @ImkSushi, great initiative from your part, I am very thankful !!!!!

one issue I had with pozine's version and that I think it was touched upon a couple of posts earlier is the indexing of bodies - this was clashing with Remote Tech Contract's Pack (and other RSS contract packs).

is there a way to leave the original RSS indexing numbers untouched and use new ones so this mod doesn't break the aforementioned contract packs? I am asking this as a complete noob and out of curiosity, I very much appreciate the work you have done to re-pack this to 1.1.2

[Phineas Freak]

@hypervelocityRSS Expanded is required to have correct ID numbers for the bodies and not modify for any reason the original RSS IDs. Just use numbers higher than 25 (the number ID of Charon in RSS) and everything will be good.

Of course any other mod that would like to add/patch more bodies will have to conform to the already used indexes but that is another story.

[Ciko]

My FPS drop down to 40-35 when use this mod..4 gb ram. Is there a way to increase fps ? if I change the texture to 512x512 ?

Ok. That will also come in 0.13.1, along with contracts.
