This looks cool. How does it interact with gpp?

If GPP is installed and the player is patient enough, a new star system is created around a star Kiro, surrounded by all the GPP planets

Darn, so this would mess up my gpp career then

If you do decide to try it, Just know that the compatibility patch for GPP to work with KSS is not an official patch from the GPP team and is largely untested by the GPP team. I have no idea if it will break your career. From what I have been told, the code was taken directly from Galactic Neighborhood, and it includes bits of code that is only relevant to Galactic Neighborhood, and may cause issues with kopernicus.

Is it normal for this mod to skewer my performance? With a ton of visual mods but otherwise unmodded (running Scatterer, EVE, Planetshine, and a couple minor things like HotRockets) I was getting consistently 50-60 FPS, with maybe 10-second load times, but after a fresh install with this mod it takes a solid 10 minutes for the game to boot up and my framerate is at maybe 30 FPS but it constantly plummets. Are there some Scatterer or EVE settings that are really performance-draining or is this mod just that much more demanding than the base game?

I've noticed that my game performance plummets with the EVE settings, sadly, but the 10 minute load is normal due to the large amount of planets in the mod

Ah, that makes sense. Do you just turn EVE off or do you still use it? What's your typical FPS with it if you do keep it installed?

I don't know my FPS spcifically when EVE is installed, but it's gotta be no more than 20. What I just do is keep EVE when I'm not attempting getting close to a planet, and to conserve RAM I remove EVE and restart the game when I'm gonna be doing long-term land missions

NICE PICTURES!! I noticed that you stated a "new career" in your first picture. Did you visit all of those planets in career mode??? If you did, did you use cheats??? Or did you use Hyper Edit?

Thanks  and some of the screenshots (Alvarise, for example) was just me testing using Hyperedit. Most of those screenshots were from me doing a (mostly) legitimate career, and I ended up stumbling on something pretty and I said "hey, that's pretty neat" and took a screenshot that I felt looked good. In the end, I filtered through all my screenshots and picked out the ones that I felt were the best.

Here's a couple that didn't make the cut, for example:

Hello,

First i would like to express my excitement and admiration towards this mod, and my utmost respect for everyone involved in making this.  As someone that has been a die hard KSP fan for years now, I can honestly say this is the most impressive work for this game that I have ever come across.  I have successfully installed this mod, and to the best of my knowledge, I have followed every instruction perfectly.  The only thing I cant seem to figure out is getting the clouds to work on the various planets with atmospheres.  I know scatter is working properly, and I followed the correct instructions for the visual enhancement installations under the separate download labeled "Visuals".  I have tried to adequately search the 50 pages of this topic to find an answer, and either its not there, or I missed it.  If I did miss it, i apologize for this repost.  I have included pictures of Kerbin, Duna, and EVE to give u a visual representation of what I am seeing in game, and hopefully a solution could be given to me.  Thanks in advance to any help I might receive on this subject.

Man, I wish my computer could handle visual mods and KSS at the same time. I'm really missing out.

I notice that you have pictures of both regular Duna and Terraformed Duna. I'm curious, what's your preferred combination of optional planets?

I typically have regular Duna (because I like Mars) and Tropical Laythe installed.

Duna and Tropical Laythe is my preferred setting. If you look closely, you can notice that a few of those pictures were taken before 0.6, which is when I decided to look at Terraformed Duna and noticed there's no bad angle on that planet.

Also, you should see my framerate when I try landing on a planet

Did you make sure to install EVE and put the KSS folder for the clouds in the GameData?

Yes, i installed the latest version of EVE, and the folder labeled "clouds"  has a folder named "KSS_clouds" that I put in the general "KSS" root folder.  So the directory for this cloud addition would be GAMEDATA\KSS\KSS_CLOUDS.  Or is it supposed to be alongside the main KSS folder?  Such as GAMEDATA\KSS_CLOUDS?

@DAMAN2U1

There are problems with clouds + not having a full KSS version. There is going to be a fix soon.

I see.  I was just curious if there where where possible solutions since it works for some people.  What do you mean by "+not having a full KSS version"?

If you don't have all the optional planet systems installed - clouds could not show up. If you have, and they won't show up. You made a mistake while installing.

Well, thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  I tried adding the two additional star systems with no success, and I am 99.9 percent sure i installed everything right.  Perhaps I have an intermittent glitch unique to my situation or gaming rig.  The mod is still immensely entertaining with or with out clouds on the planets, and I will look forward to any possible fixs you come up with in the future.  Once again, thanks for this fantastic mod.

That's an enceladus texture, right? I see you used mars as well for Duna. Don't let KSS turn into RSS! This pack is too unique to start using real life textures!
