Kerbal Exoplanets is a mod which aims to add strange new worlds to the game. It will add in some new star systems, all with exoplanets and moons orbiting them!

New Star Systems added:

Keldo System

Spoiler

Keldo - a G-type star not very much unlike Kerbol.

Lifeless - A hunk of rock orbiting extremely close to Keldo, how did it get there?

Germy - A Kerbin-like world with unicellular life.

  • Virum - Moon of germy, which has managed to obtain a very thin atmosphere and ammonia-based lifeforms.

Ringler - A gas giant with rings (obviously).

  • Rexter - An asteroid moon which orbits inside Ringler's rings
  • Fungler - An exomoon which, like Germy, has life (fungi).
  • Windwy - Water world.
    • Li - Captured asteroid moon of Windwy
    • Woot - Same as Li.

Gasgoon - A large gas giant.

  • Minimos - A small moonlet that looks kind of like mint ice cream.
  • Kolobum - Another moon of Gasgoon, but has an atmosphere
  • Monsteros - A moon that actually has breathable air, and supports life.
  • Foongoo - Another asteroid.
  • Fanger - A moon that contains large amounts of GOLD!

Curcubita - A green-ish planet that's a *bit* icy.

Yankee - A frozen dwarf world.

  • Tinky - a moon of Yankee

Troonor - A sad, frozen, lonely dwarf world.

 

Metaris System

Spoiler

Metaris - A blue giant, which will soon die in a cataclysmic explosion.

Aestu - Once a rogue planet, Aestu was pulled in by Metaris's gravity well and has been the punching bag of asteroids and radiation, making it extremely hostile.

Kendulon System

Spoiler

Kendulon - a red giant which is nearing the end of its life.

Kadar - a once-habitable world, now a desert due to Kendulon's expansion.

Minon - a surprisingly dense comet.

Nadoon - A large gas giant whose atmosphere starts very low (due to some weird anomaly).

  • Petra - a once volcanic planet, which has dried up lava flows now.

Look great. A rare systems mod with good looking planets.  How many stars currently? How is the performance?(How much ram does it eat?)

This mod adds two stars currently (though more are in dev) and it has been tested on 8 GB RAM (although maybe it can go to 4, I don't know).

---------------------------------------

By the way,

Version 0.1 has been released!

Changelog:

  • Added 2 star systems (one of them is WIP)
  • planets  with moons orbit each star!

Get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vfvjrm5wtgsqmup/Kerbal Exoplanets v0.1.zip?dl=0

I was literally just watching that!

-which is why i'm downloading it!

oh, and can I use scatterer with it?

 

 

This mod doesn't have scatterer support yet, maybe if I can figure out configs and stuff then I can add support.

I don't mean to judge but those textures look an awful lot like Space Engine imports. Get that fixed soon! I'm assuming you were already planning on doing that and that the Space Engine textures were just placeholders?

Actually many of the textures were from Kittopia, the only planets that have a placeholder Space Engine texture are Kadar and Virum. I will get that fixed soon though, thanks for the heads-up!

Also, PLEASE fix Virum's atmosphere. It's 194 km high. Just a *bit* too high for an asteroid.

It might be good for a world with an extremely thick atmosphere like Venus's, though.

Nice! do I need to re-install this to work right! 

Actually this will be released with 0.2 as a separate download, you should expect it to come out in a week or two.
