Eve/Venus Cloud cities

[Curiosity7907]

Inspired by this video:

I thought what about making cloud cities in ksp?

Doing this requires any cloud or atmosphere effects* mod.

For balloon mods i think using hooligan labs,procedural airships or heisenburg seems to be the mods,

for cities maybe kerbinside or habitat module or just making out of structrual panels.

And there a few things that are not possible or with another mod like growing trees,or extracting water from clouds or having domes full of oxygen. In the title I wrote Venus,because also you can do this RSS and RSSVE.

Question:

-Can I use kerballons? It's an old mod that adds balloons for hovering on atmosphere. My plan is basically have a whole city floating on the eve atmosphere supported by balloons

-I don't know of my laptop can handle cloud mods, it's a low end anyway. So is it okay if I post a pic without clouds?

That's all. I'll try this one

Ok,can you use scatterer?

Nope, scatterer is too much for my laptop. Even simple flying on kerbin is lagging a lot. But I DO have a design for my floating eve colony

im going to be honest having scatterer as a requirement for a challenge is a bad idea because what about the people who cannot run it not everyone has a super fast computer so maybe tell people the altitude of the clouds

When will the pictures come?

It can be possible without scatterer,but actually scatterer is for realism.

Hold on, I'm still on the way to eve, I'm still having a school exam in real life

Finally I'm able to devote some time into the game. Here's my floating colony on eve:

It uses 4 heavy payload balloon to stay afloat. The engine beneath the structure is for stabilization (it's a nuclear thermal jet engine that allows it to run inside non-oxygenated eve atmosphere). The balloon alone is not enough to lift the colony by itself, neither do the engines. However, together, they allow the colony to be placed on top the eve clouds (Not pictured, my computer isn't strong enough to hande graphic mods). This is still a colony prototype. The structure is very hard to stabilize inside eve atmosphere and engine is not perpetual, eventually, the enriched uranium resources used to run it will be running out, and the colony collapsed. I might try to improve the design more if I have more time

this looks good, I think that there is a need for more habitat modules and nuclear thermal jet engines are cool ideas.Are the electric charge produced by nuclear reactor?can you use tac life support or snacks or kerbalsim that will add realism

Actually, the electric charge generated by solar panel alone is enough to sustain the colony, with some batteries. The only reason I'm using the nuclear reactor is that, the nuclear thermal jets is basically a reactor turned into an engine. It uses surrounding atmosphere as fuel, so in order to use it, it must be fired up like most fission reactor that you often see in near future or life support mods. And this reactor needs enriched uranium resources. The reason I'm using nuclear thermal jet is:

1. Jet engines does not work on eve

2. Rocket engines have poor fuel efficiency compared to jets

I can install life support mods, but one thing that I'm worrying is that how to resupply the colony, since this is basically a rendezvous inside atmosphere, though seeing how often people atttempted aerial refueling in KSP, we might even see someone landing a plane on eve flying airbase

I might try a Heisenburg airship with a runway on Eve.  The MOD airpark makes floating colonies easier.

Would be using a clouds mod?

No, my potato computer can't handle graphics mods.

Some life support mods do have stuff like oxygen scrubbers,greenhouses,which recycle.Doing a rendezvous inside the atmosphere,while the target is hovering,should not to hard,you can try that in Kerbin,but remember that,the supplies will get recycled.
