LetsGeiloLp Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Well RIP my 16Gb ram.I mean i could only blame my other mods but when its loading in the planets i can see the ram usage skyrocketing from 3 to 12gb. Can you maybe optimize it? I want all of the planets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpacePotato Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 During its surveys of Blalo, the K.I.X. seems to have uncovered an anomaly around the Giant Impact Peak. As a response, scientists created the KSS Anomalous to scout the area out. Carrying highly valuable cargo, it has departed from Kerbin orbit, and is expected to reach Blalo in a couple days...

TheSpacePotato Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Want to see what 0.7 is going to bring? Keep reading and find out! Spoiler In honor of the Great American Eclipse, the KSS Team has decided to grant you the ability to see some of the stuff in 0.7! And since @StarCrusher96 is doing work right now, I've been tasked with giving you a list of what to see! Kerbol System Chur - An analogue of comet Churyumov Gerasimenko Thes - A Proteus analogue Nian - A Titania analogue Ilum - a moon of Hypat Nyla has been turned into an analogue of Nereid Kerbin gets a new texture The new texture looks like stock Kerbin, but has different features like mountain ranges, volcanoes, etc. A bunch of retextures! Kerolon System Completed Kerolon System Etim - Scorched rocky world Retextured Ceth Retextured Hetoo Clorum - Moon of Hetoo Olve - Moon of Rilna Isen - Another moon of Rilna Aquel gets a set of rings An asteroid moon Nil Mer Retextured Mesmo Iave - Pol-like moon of Mesmo A subsatellite around one of the moons More moons! Still InDev Retextured Lyrne Tesyl - Trytho-like moon of Lyrne More moons InDev! Planet around The All A Rogue Planet Visual Improvements Uses current version of EVE instead of the old one Make sure to look closely at the gas giants (phys-warp helps) More sciencedefs! Tylo Vall Minmus Eeloo Voon Laho Oran Naal Kel Hypat Kirb, Kelin, Kernim Blalo Narath Taythe Ilve Mirn More to come! A bunch of new stars! These stars will act as "gravity walls" to make travel a bit more difficult These stars will have no planets, but some are made to be compatible with other mods Kerman's Star Kilise Kiro Kerlanes More to come! Lore Basic implementation of the Lore using custom sciencedefs The player will need to use a part to go and find these fragments of the story Look for the black pyramids! Compatibility with more mods! When a compatible planet pack is installed with KSS, the planets will move to a new star GPP will move around Kiro GPO will move around Kilise OPM will move around Kerlanes More planet pack compatibility planned for the future! A bunch of bug fixes! Now for spoilers! Spoiler Chur New Mesmo Iave Isen The revamped Kerbin The black pyramids you need to look for The new science part! Currently, it requires DMagic's Science Mod to work, but we're going to get it to be standalone Data revealed by the K.I.X. during experiments over the Nova Kirbani planets BlaloInSpaceHigh = It looks a lot like Kerbin. Blalo could definitely be a new home for kerbalkind. NarathInSpaceLow = Narath seems to be tidally locked to Kernim, meaning that only one side faces the star at all times. That limits the amount of the surface that is actually habitable. TaytheInSpaceHigh = It seems Taythe has smaller continents than Kerbin. It has a lot of islands, meaning that the life may be isolated and varied. And the data collected after the KSS Anomalous landed on Blalo 28. Over time, they began to consume the resources of worlds outside their own system, exploring far and wide and studying every planet or moon they found in their stellar neighborhood. The last thing the KSS Team wants to announce is that we are working on a HUGE project for you guys, and it'll be released alongside 0.7. It's so big, it's been in development since March and still isn't finished Edited August 21, 2017 by TheSpacePotato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonas1997 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hello! First of all, I wanted to thank you for making such a great mod. The screenshots look absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to try it! However, there is a big, big problem: I tried to install this mod about 2 months ago, but (sadly) the game would get stuck on the loading screen; it must have something to do with my modest 4Gb of RAM - which can barely handle the ~30 mods I have already installed. But (and I'm being completely honest here) I decided this mod was the perfect excuse to, at last, buy some more sweet memory for my humble laptop. The readme file mentions "at least" 8Gb, and since I guess this estimate doesn't take into account the RAM that can be used by other mods, I have to ask: do you think an extra 4Gb (for a total of 8) would be enough, or should I aim for 12? Adicionally, would I need to employ the "orbit glitch fix" every time I load a save, or am I only "required" to do so on the first startup? Sorry for the long-ass post, but I want to make sure I fully understand these topics before investing on more memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the long-ass post, but I want to make sure I fully understand these topics before investing on more memory thx for the compliment Well I'd say 12 is always better than 8. But that's up to you. 0.7 will be modular, so people with low RAM will be able to install parts of KSS and will be able to enjoy all the star systems. Orbital glitches should be fixed in 0.7 and the fix needs to be applied each time your orbits are messed up.

Yes, but 1.3.1 is very close and Squad has said to look out for a release date any day now. So I would expect 0.7 to be for that version. Also, if you can afford it, go for 16. I'd argue that 16 is the minimum requirement for mods like this. 12 would be fine if you were running JUST this mod, but if you want to even sniff EVE, Scatterer, any part mods, or any other number of mods, 16 will be needed. I ran this mod the other day and was hitting between 10-11gb without any other mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, my GPU isn't good enough to run visual mods without dramatically dropping frames, and I don't think I could afford that much RAM (I'd have to buy two cards instead of one)... guess I'll just wait for 0.7 and see.

Scotskerb Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Could you maybe give Eve its purple color back? It doesn't feel quite right if Eve isn't purple. I mean, you even had Jool keep its greenness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you even had Jool keep its greenness. Sorry, all the custom sciencedefs written for Eve (as well as its new description) center on Eve being yellow. It would take a lot of work and extra time (which would be better spent on other projects we're working on) to rewrite all of that. On the plus side, there's a purple colored Eve-like moon called Sern in KSS, if you really wanted something purple Edited August 23, 2017 by Greatness101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you even had Jool keep its greenness. The other thing to consider is that KSS has focused its design intent on replicating the look and feel of the real world star systems and various heavenly bodies. This extends itself to not only how most of the planets and moons look like in terms of textures and colours as well as shapes, but also to how various star systems are set up. @StarCrusher96, myself, @Greatness101 and @TheSpacePotato have repeatedly referenced and used real world items to draw inspiration from throughout the development phases. Though not all items in the Kerbol system reflect this (Jool as you pointed out), the vast majority of what you'll find greatly reflects the actual solar system we live in, albeit while still maintaining a certain degree of artistic license. I can understand how not having something you've come accustomed to (such as a purple Eve) can be off-putting, but @StarCrusher96 and the rest of us have put in some time and effort at producing what we believe will be (and is) one of the best, if not the best planet pack out there available for KSP and will redefine the planet pack standard hence forth, and our hope is that whatever is ''lost'' from the changes we bring will be more than overcome by everything else KSS brings to the game. We're constantly working at improving it in every way. We're a small group of very dedicated individuals, some of us with and some of us without talent... but you can be sure KSS, when fully done, is gonna be like nothing else. Anyways, just some food for thought! Thanks for your comments and feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
