Sadly, if it is an abandoned mod, the only thing that can be done is if somebody adopts it on their own. Even if eve and scatterer don't work, I say as long as it is functional that would be well enough, for me, at least

Yeah, i always delete the eve and scatterer, it halves the loading time. and yes it has been abandoned but maybe someone can carry it on or somethin

Anybody think they could keep this going? looks really good and i dont wanna leave it in the dust

though this might be probably abandoned

1, i could get it working in 1.9.1 with a CKAN install if your sure you like this certain pack

2. theres this new mod in development called Nova Korbani (kerbani?) made by the same user who made KSS, and seems really good. it is the works tho and only has 1 system out of alot more planned systems

hope this would be a good alternative

[Souptime]

Oh yeah, i downloaded nova kirbani. its just that this mod looks too good to be left behind in the dust

good that you could find something you like!

i just installed nova kirbani so i havent got much to say bout it but it seems really epic!

[wkwied]

I do suppose the mod author has already given their blessings for someone to re-start this from the source..

Best of luck to you, I hope this can be made to work in 1.11 without too much difficulty as its the largest planet pack I know of and seems like it would go quite well with Far Future Technologies.

Is there any chance of there being a version change to allow for a license update so this can be maintained? Otherwise this is largely a dead-end.

If anyone wants to adopt this mod they have my permission to do so, simply fork it on github and you are good

Unfortunately due to a variety of reasons I can't update the repo and license in it right now, but for all purposes it is now BY-NC-SA instead of BY-NC-ND

Ok, cool! Maybe I‘m gonna use something from this mod in my Mod. This is now possible if i understand correctly.

As long as the parts you are using are credited correctly, yes

Although I would  prefer that anyone using the resources from this mod to not directly copy and paste (or reuse) entire planets in their projects

Alright. Until it gets updated and changed officially however mods will smite derivations/continuations.

i definetly wont be using entire planets. this would count as stealing.

[Noah Foloni]

IT WORKS FOR 1.11.2 !!!!!!

Y E S S S S S

 

without the scatterer and eve configs at least

[smushanoob]

If this is ok, me @Mangu(i think thats his username) want to breath new life into this mod? I really like this from what I've been playing and thinks it deserves to be revived.

I never said I was going to stop making Homeworld. It's one of my top priorities right now.

[Clasher236]

Will there ever be a port to 1.7 and later? I know it technically works with later versions, but the scatterer effects make all the planets dark on the surface. If there's no newer versions planned, then can you or anybody offer a fix for the scatterer incompatibility? Thank you in advance.

This mod adds 100 celestial bodies in a cluster orbiting far from the Sun while preserving the stock system.

Designed for modded late game exploration, colonisation and other wackiness.

Ever since the Kerbalkind learned how to properly look at the night sky, a bright blue light accompanied by a few flickering spots among the stars had always intrigued them. Throughout history, this realm in the deep sky has been associated with mythologies, the Kraken, the multiverse and snacks. As time passed, they realise that the greatest treasure the universe have to offer is right in their backyard - a neighboring cluster centered around a blue star with multiple yellow and red dwarfs guarding the outer reaches of the system. The more they looked, the more astonishing this system becomes: habitable worlds appeared one by one, documentations of ring systems became more and more detailed, the resolutions of images got higher and higher, and even a brand new protostar had been found. However, questions and mysteries started to pop up among the excitement: an abnormally high amount of friendly worlds near the quaternary red dwarf system, an unyielding planetary nebula around a main sequence star, the capture of some allegedly artificial signals, and an exotic stellar remnant with unknown composition. Nevertheless, this cluster remained silent but inviting, and space programs all over Kerbin began missions toward the stars.

After countless missions to Jool, the spirit of the Kerbalkind was ignited once again to venture into The World Beyond, and this system is aptly named The Dawn Cluster.

One day, all the boundaries will fall.

Star map

TWB does not replace the stock system and no changes has been made to it.

Star emblems

Inner Dawn System

Dawn - An A3V class blue star, the center of the cluster that every planet and star orbits. It is quite a lot more massive and a lot brighter than Kerbol. The space near it harbors a large amount of planets.

  Reveal hidden contents

• Tengu - a world extremely close to the Dawn in a retrograde orbit.
• Hyperion - the only planet known this close to a star with an atmosphere and magnetic field, has a large field of auroras.
• Horu - beautiful yet hellish heavy rocky planet covered with lava oceans and have a dense and thick and tall atmosphere.
  • Keter - a rocky moon that once had water on it’s surface but still retained an oxygen atmosphere.
• Summit - Eve sized maroon-purplish rocky planet with extensive canyons and mountains extend beyond its thin and low atmosphere. It may once had a moon that got crushed into a small ring.
• Gersemi - a large desert planet engulfed in sand storms but also have some oasis scattered on the surface. Has an oxygen atmosphere.
  • Icosahedron - a small blue rock.
  • Faith - a small but almost completely oceanic world, save for some small islands on its equator.
• Paradise - a super Kerbin that is much larger than Kerbin but less dense, resulting in similar gravity (about 1.2g). Has liquid oceans and a slightly denser and higher atmosphere with a composition almost identical to Kerbin. Harbors a large ring system and multiple friendly moons.
  • Fantasy - small (200km radius) but life supporting moon inside the rings.
  • Bahamut - a large habitable moon with an magnetic field (which means auroras). The landmass and ocean and roughly balanced and has several volcanos
    • Asgard - a tiny (~85km radius) impossibly hospitable world
  • Heimdallr - Laythe-like tropical and oceanic moon of vibrant color featuring land chunks and archipelagos, surrounded by a calm oxygen atmosphere.
  • Horizon - slightly more colorful mountain-and-canyon moon on the edge of Paradise's SOI,  with a thin oxygen atmosphere.
    • Vindication - very colorful subsatellite.
• Hikari - pink gas giant with a *very cool* (and big) ring system.
  • Moun - very small almost spherical moon deep inside the gravity well.
  • Mirage - mostly featureless desert moon in the middle of the rings, has an atmosphere with sandstorms.
  • Yggdrasil - a curious moon, it has plants and other complex exotic life forms that do not depend on oxygen and carbon dioxide, and survives in its atmosphere composed with nitrogen, ammonia and other noble gases, with an ocean composed “partially” of water.
  • Sandalphon - another warm habitable moon with liquid water oceans and oxygen atmosphere, orbits just next to the Hiraki’s rings
    • Baldr - small silver rocky subsatellite.
  • Ebott - medium mountainous moon in a very inclined orbit
  • Zhuque - a partially habitable moon with life in its crayons and valleys while the higher plateaus remained deserts.
  • Basin - a cooler moon further from Hikari, contains methane lakes with a stormy atmosphere.
    • Cerberus - small rugged rocky subsatellite.
• Wyvern - a blue rocky dwarf in the asteroid belt.
  • Guardian - grey Ike like small moon with flat oceans.
• Kaze - the second gas giant with a concentrated ring system, beautiful deep blue color with moderate storms.
  • Baihu - Tylo like moon (but larger) with a series of very interesting and complex geological feature instead of just boring craters.
  • Ve - small moonlet that shares the same orbit with Baihu.
  • Epik - a geologically active and fragmented moon with of lava like fluid on the surface, has short and moderate atmosphere.
  • Ouroboros - mountainous rocky moon in polar orbit.
    • Bi - Very small hunk of rock
  • Sagen - (somewhat) titan like world, features a calm and dense atmosphere and lakes composed mainly of water and ammonia.
• Yama - purple and green gas giant with distinct stripes and violent storms, it has a very small and thin ring system.
  • Centurion - mountainous moon with craters and other formations.
  • Zen - while it’s covered in ice caps of frozen glaciers, the geological activity of allowed some liquid water lakes to exist and maintained a thin water vapor/oxygen atmosphere
  • Xuanwu - green and unassuming rocky moon
  • Leviathan - a hostile world that is presumably a failed gas giant. It comes with a extremely high, thick and stormy atmosphere and a high gravity, making it very, very difficult to leave (this is basically Tellumo, Super Tylo and Catullus combined: 2.3g gravity, 230km atmosphere and 14atm ASL pressure).
    • Hai - subsatellite in polar orbit.
• Qinglong - a world mostly covered in frozen tundra, a trench of the equator is barely kept liquid as it’s atmosphere struggle to keep some heat on the surface.
• Infinity - a silver frozen world with distinct canyons, ice caps (for some reason) and other geological features.
  • Noir - A very dark rocky moon.
• Border - super long period comet.

Oblivion System

Oblivion - A new protostar orbiting Dawn from a distance with a big accretion disk (which is basically a colossal ring system) and plenty of asteroids. Despite it's unstable system, a few planets have already formed around it.

  Reveal hidden contents

• Kaamo - a rocky planet (no atmosphere) with large ring system of it’s own and a lot of asteroids.
• Kroadwell - an cooling ice giant with a very small ring.
  • Nirvana - a somewhat Eeloo like icy moon.

Traverse System

Traverse - A M1V orangish red dwarf shrouded by a immense nebula, it orbits roughly in the middle point of Dawn's SOI and holds up a Quadruple system with an very large amount of densely packed habitable worlds.

Fragment - A very small M9V red dwarf orbiting Traverse in close binary. Due to it's size it has little effect on the overall structure of the system.

  Reveal hidden contents

• Labyrinth - tidally locked world with a scorched continent and water on the farside, despite this, a good amount of the surface is surprising not hostile and harbors non-oxygen dependent exotic life.
• Bishamenten - tidally locked half ice, half water tidally locked world, with a larger habitable area than Labyrinth and has liquid water and oxygen atmosphere.
• Adeon - a desert world with some oceans, small amount of plant life scatters with the dunes, has small rings (basically Gersemi with more water and green).
  • Seraph - a desert moon with cracks flowing lava.
• Promise - ocean planet scattered with a large amount of archipelagos but has no big chunks of land masses.
  • Raem - medium sized moon of double tasty color, while there are no life here, it’s oxygen atmosphere and temperate temperature made it the only rocky world that can be walked on without special protection (and the only rocky moon that has auroras).
• Matterhorn - an almost habitable world with large concentrated continents of mountain ranges (basically Summit but with water and oxygen).
• Brynhildr - a warm tranquil world slightly larger than Kerbin, this terra have just about any geological features that can be named, save for ice caps and volcanoes.
• Overture - another colorful habitable super earth that is in many ways similar to Paradise, with global auroras (sort of like Eden in BK) and a wide ring of distinctly concentrated areas, it’s larger than Paradise and thus have higher gravity, but is still less dense compared to Kerbin. 
  • Collide - a slightly smaller super terra in the rings, orbits Overture.
    • Parallel - a slightly smaller kerbin sized terra in a polar orbit Collide.
      • Tack - small rocky moon (the deepest stacked world yet).
• Amaterasu - a tropical super Kerbin with a fairly dense atmosphere that caused its relatively high surface temperature. Possesses auroras and yet another ring.
  • Hakurei - a beautiful and diverse terra currently holding the highest score in the Kerbin Similarity Index, being only a few thousandth points above other habitable worlds.
  • Jeanne - another majestic terra that is almost identical to Hakurei, with equally colorful surface plant lives. In co-orbital configuration with Hakurei.
• Sora - enormous gentle giant with a smoothing gradient (cyan blue purple pink yellow or something like that) possibly supporting exotic airborne life.
  • Mirai - a terra moon of life bearing valley ranges and canyons, but they have since find a way onto the highland plateaus.
  • Megumi - an unassuming desert moon with some rivers and lakes, turns out it is rich in just about every type of resources.
  • Nishimiya - a once lifeless moon full of craters and scars that had been revived to harbor a friendly environment and life.
  • Miyamizu - a terrestrial moon featuring both mountains ranges, calm grass fields and tropical islands. A remain of a large impact is also visible through the terrain, for which might have brought life to this world.
  • Lyria - a world with distinct biomes resting onto different islands, making it looks like a map from some sort of JRPG.
  • Yukino - a defrosting moon recovering from its ice age, as the ice caps melt away, colorful lands emerges.
  • Rin - tiny gas dwarf moon, has its own rings.
    • Mabel - tiny terra (but slightly smaller than Asgard) that is theorized to be artificially constructed.

  • Carnell - a very Laythe like cool moon, silver islands protrudes over a vast sea, maybe able to house life very soon™.
  • Porter - a moon with ever changing landscapes and exotic life
  • Young - a world with fields full of fields and hills of exotically colored plants (orange, yellow, pink) and colorful seas.
    • Perry - an aqua color rocky submoon.
• Odin - once a temperate world, this blue planet is currently in the middle of a global ice age, but some volcanic activities continues.
• Daedalus - geologically active planet with massive active hot springs of a mixture of water and ammonia.
• Tiamat - long period comet (certainly not a reference to some another comet named Tiamat).

Eon System

Eon - An outlying G7V yellow dwarf near the edge of the SOI of Dawn

  Reveal hidden contents

• Wallnut - a brown rocky planet and the first in the entire Dawn cluster to be actually named after some sort of edibles...
• Everest - a mountain world with most of it covered in white hills and plateaus.
• Newell - a j1407b like super gas giant with RINGS™.
  • Iris - a habitable moon found outside Eon’s habitable zone, it probably maintained its temperature due to Newell’s Tidal forces.
• Kestrel - icy world with liquid water deep under the global ice layer.

Barrier - VERY FAST spinning exotic stellar remnant orbiting Eon, and one of the most mysterious objects within the vicinity of Dawn.

THE WORLD BEYOND IS CURRENTLY NOT READY FOR REVIEW AS MANY ASPECTS ARE STILL BEING DEVELOPED/REFINED.

Poodmund's Milky Way Skybox: extremely nice looking skybox that is used in all the screenshots shown above.

Interstellar Extended: for those of you who want to cover interstellar distances in a realistic way.

BetterTimeWarp: to make your interstellar journeys feel slightly faster and far more bearable.

ESLD Jump Beacons: an alternative method to travel between the stars.

 

COMPATIBILITY

TWB is compatible with the following planet packs:

Gameslinx's Planet Overhaul (GPO)

Outer Planets Mod (OPM)

Galileo's Planet Pack (GPP)

Grannus Expansion Pack (GEP)

Extrasolar*

Other_Worlds Reboot (OWR)

New Horizons

Before Kerbin

After Kerbin

Whirligig World

TWB is NOT meant to played with Principia, but you can install both and see what happens

*Extrasolar is known to break the scatterer sunflares in TWB. Check page 9 in this thread for a workaround.

 

KNOWN ISSUES

The resource configs in this mod could make the stock KerbNet unusable (crafts that should have KerbNet access don't). This is a problem with KSP itself, and the best solution is to use the mod SCANSat and Waypoint Manager instead, both of which provides better functionality compared to the KerbNet.

I will be. The fork will be posted on here soon enough. A small team has formed on the kopernicus server and is at work upgrading, optimizing, and adding to this mod. We wish to honor TheProtagonists original wishes in his roadmap on GitHub, which we will be following closely.

Some people actually started developing a port less than a day ago.

That's really good to know. Can you keep me posted?
