Gameslinx Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Welcome to the Official Release thread for Before Kerbin. Before Kerbin is based on the Stock solar system, but 2 billion years ago in the past. This mod will replace your solar system, I advise beginning a new save. Overview: This mod aims to add a completely new adventure as you begin on Eve (which has Kerbin's properties for ease) and explore and uncover the secrets of the old stock planets. There is lore for you to uncover on the detailed planetary surfaces. This mod adds highly detailed, 4k planets, each come with their own EVE and Scatterer configurations. Every single planet and moon has been adjusted and changed, meaning yes - you can visit "Dres"! All planets have been tested and I have made sure both rockets and spaceplanes can function on them all. Reveal hidden contents Review: System Requirements: 5GB of RAM KSP 64 bit Donations are never asked for, but always appreciated! Help buy me a pizza if you enjoy the mod FAQ: Will this planet mod add any new stars? No. This is the Kerbol system 2 billion years ago. Adding a new star means you will need modded parts to get there, which I generally disagree with. It also means separating planets and sentencing them to "will not be visited". I want to make sure all planets are easily reachable but also require a challenge once there. Is this planet mod compatible with present day mods like OPM? Yep! Even the visual mods will work together, meaning you can install nearly any planet mod except those that also replace the home planet. How much RAM do I need for this mod? 5GB at maximum texture quality. This mod follows the CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Thank you for downloading!

Cabbink Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Will download this! But why 5 gb of ram? Can it work with 4? Is there a specific reason. Why? Edited August 16, 2017 by Cabbink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next_Star_Industries Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 5 gigs of ram?! Not only is that a big number, but it means I can't even check it out. That's going to limit a lot of downloads, as it seems a lot of users are using basic laptops with only 4 gig of ram. Any chance maybe a release of smaller textures?

It's extremely difficult to release a full sized planet mod that uses less than 4 gigs. I mean, you can try lowering the texture quality in the main menu before installing the pack - that way you will probably run it on 4 gigs.

Any chance maybe a release of smaller textures? Expand It's not really a big number... I have an old Asus G71 with a Core 2 Duo from like 2008, and it came stock with 6gb of ram... My heavily modded KSP (64bit) install was running out of memory and crashing on my 2015 Alienware laptop with 16gb of ram... my new desktop has 32gb of ram and KSP peaks at 17gb!!

Serpent, Eden's moon, hit the planet. Hence the purple shades and metallic appearance, it was heavy and poisonous. It kills the life on Eden and makes it heavier and toxic.

Foxster Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looking very fine. Quick questions: Is TextureReplacer essential here? Does it just provide another skybox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxster Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thanks. I actually like the skybox and I'm going to keep it, including for the stock game. Just didn't want to mess up my existing use of TR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
