Understood, but I was heating and losing ablator even when orbiting Verex (I think... there's so many! ) Now that I know it's intended and not a bug or something wrong with my install, I'll just keep it in mind. It was just surprising that when I warped in at "minimum safe distance", I instantly exploded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on one of the last few planets, based off mars, but with a more tectonic feel. I'm still working out the heightmap and all that jazz, then it's biomes and definitions for everything. I was watching a few Vsauce videos and SpaceX streams and I feel like the martian colours look awesome. Well, this will be a full sized planet roughly to Mars's scale. Not sure where to put it, though, so I'm open to suggestions! Must...have...tutorial! I must know how to make textures with photoshop!

Remember that in After Effects the textures don't seamlessly wrap around the planet. You will need to remove the seam (so that the two west and east sides of your heightmap meat). I use Paint.net with the Blend Seams plugin for that. Also, remember to polar invert your textures! It's much more easier in Photoshop than After Effects, so if you need help with that just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techm Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hello Gamel0rd1, I have to say, I love this mod. It totally enriches the Kerbol system and it looks stunningly beautiful, particularly with EVE. So exciting to explore. I have a couple of questions though (and pardon if they've already been asked/answered) - It seems Neibos' orbit intersects Duna's at the same inclination... um collision risk? Given enough orbits they might just smack into each other or get caught in each other's SOI. - Neibos, and a couple of the other atmospheric worlds are said to have breathable atmospheres, but at ~0.06atm and 13.7K surface temperatures... that's not too breathable or possible for liquid water, are the physical parameters for them due to be updated later to more realistic values? It's interesting to see that Neibos will orbit well into the habitable butter zone of the Kerbol system and then stray outward... that would make for some harsh winters methinks.

Niebos's orbit will be fixed on Sunday's release. Strangely enough I thought the temperatures were in degrees C. That's my own fault haha. I'll fix that, too. I'm glad you're enjoying the mod!

Plummet Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 HI - this planet pack looks great. Currently sat on Olemut deciding where to go next.. Sorry if this has been asked before, but has anyone made a dV map? Plummet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but has anyone made a dV map? Plummet. Thank you! Nobody has a dV map as of yet. In the next update which is tomorrow, Niebos will have a slight orbital shift (nothing major, but if anyone is on a tight fuel limit, be warned). I would love to create/see a dV map in the future, but I don't think i'll do that until i'm sure the orbits won't change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nascarlaser1 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) is there a way to make this compatible with KER (for the delta-v calculations) and Scansat (for looking for those easter eggs)?

EDIT: just saw that delta-v calculations are subject to change Kerbal Engineer will calculate thrust-weight ratio on different planetary bodies just fine. I'd say, take a Duna rocket to Niebos. Take a Dres rocket to Olu'um, and some monstrosity for Scorch! And I don't think there's a way to find easter eggs using ScanSat. I don't think i can even choose where easter eggs are. I hope that one day there's a mod that would let me do such a thing! Edited March 11, 2017 by Gamel0rd1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't add monoliths to planets, it's a limitation of Kopernicus. I can create heightmap / colormap easter eggs, like a smiley face slightly elevated, like the one on ______ If I can add ScanSAT to that, that would be awesome if you know how to!

Galileo Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 You just need to know what pqsmods to delete and which ones to keep in the planet template. This is a planet in GPP with a Vall template Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I keep the anomaly PQSMOD that means I can go to the monolith's coordinates on the new planet and it should be there? This requires extensive testing!
