Without this modification, KSP simply does not exist. Where can I find out about the development status of the new version?

Although I most likely think that KSP 2 will be released than the version of Kopernicus 1.8.X

You can always check progress on GitHub. 

 

If you can't wait, roll back to 1.7.3 and patiently wait for a 1.8.x release.

does it work on 1.8?

Please go back and read some of the posts before yours.

No, this does not work on 1.8.x

An update is in progress.  Korpernicus is always version locked. The forum post title will be updated to 1.8 when released I'm sure.

Either play on 1.7.3 or wait.

Much content has been removed, due to pressuring mod authors for updates, which as we all know (right?) is not okay.  Aside from being rude and entitled, it's also explicitly forbidden by the forum rules, specifically 2.2.p.

Folks, please remember that mod authors do this in their precious and scarce spare time, for free, as a hobby, so they can give us all shiny toys for free.  As such, we owe them a debt of gratitude, but they owe us nothing-- in particular, they do not owe us "speedy" updates, nor do they owe us progress reports.

We understand that you're impatient and excited, since Kopernicus is such a vital, useful mod.  It's great that you love the mod, and likely you mean well.  Please understand, though, that there are tens of thousands of people waiting for the update, and asking about it simply doesn't help matters.

Updating a mod like Kopernicus takes a lot of time.  It's many hours of work.  Likely it's not even knowable in advance how much time it'll take, even for the maintainers; that's how software works.  And please remember that these are people, with plenty of IRL obligations (work, school, family, etc.) which obviously take priority over a hobby such as modding.

For anyone who is still unclear on the concept, perhaps a brief refresher is in order:

  • Q: When will the Kopernicus update be ready?
  • A: As soon as the maintainers have the time and inclination to do so.
  • Q:  No, but I mean, when?  I want to know!
  • A:  It's nice to want things.  However, this is not a knowable thing, per the explanation above.
  • Q:  Would it help make it happen faster if I interrupt the authors and pester them for updates while they're trying to get stuff done?
  • A:  Why, no, as a matter of fact.  No, it wouldn't.  Breathing down people's necks and jostling their elbows does not, oddly enough, help the efficiency of the process.  Thanks for asking.
  • Q:  But then what can I do?
  • A:  You can be patient.  Just like everyone else is.
  • Q:  But being patient is hard.
  • A:  Then you could always find some other toy to play with that won't require patience from you.

Thread is now unlocked; please don't make us regret doing so, okay?

Thank you to everyone for your continued patience and understanding.

Я пытаюсь построить планету с океанами. Но они слишком низкие. К сожалению, во всех уроках, которые я смотрел, не было никакой информации о высоте океана и о том, где его менять. Может кто-нибудь помочь?

(Извините за мой английский. Я же русский :))

Hello @CharDreemur, and welcome to the forums!  :)

I'm not an expert at Kopernicus planet-building myself, but I think it's the case that the height of the ocean cannot be changed.  I believe that it's hard-coded to be at zero altitude.  (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!)  So, when you're designing a planet, you don't change the height of the ocean.  Instead, you change the height of the land.  Terrain elevation is allowed to be negative, so if you have a planet with an ocean, any land with negative elevation will be underwater.

By the way:  Please note that when posting outside the international forums, all posts must be in English.  We do have lots of people here who aren't English speakers, so it's totally fine if you aren't perfect!  ;)  You can always use Google Translate or some similar tool to assist.  Or, if you would like to post in Russian, you can use the Russian forum.  Спасибо за Ваше понимание.

Hi! Just stopping by to say that I love this mod, it expands the horizons of KSP and opens up so many doors, it can make the game 100x better! It's a critical part of all of my mod lists.

Everyone should remember that the more time it takes to develop, the more work will be put into it, and the better it will be when it comes out. That's why I was happy KSP2 got delayed, because that means the developers recognized that they couldn't do the game justice and also meet the deadline, so they opted for higher quality. Take Skyrim, for example. It's one of my favorite games of all time, but imagine what it could have been if it wasn't rushed to meet the 11/11/11 release date. The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope has been delayed 10 years now, but if it had launched on schedule back in 2011, it probably would have broken already. In a time when so many developers are releasing criminally unfinished games, it gives me hope when people take the extra time to put out the best possible product. So stop nagging and let them finish.

Best of luck with the update, can't wait to play it!!!

Northrup Grumman is having a field day with tax dollars, the more they delay, the more they milk out of it

And now I discovered another bug. Apparently making mods with planets is more difficult than I thought. The lighting of the planet is rotated 90 degrees from what it should have been. I have absolutely no idea what caused it and how to fix it. I feel really dumb.unknown.png

That's because you are exporting/saving your normal maps incorrectly.

Ey, can you upgrade to 1.8.1? I tried to launch KSP with OPM, and it won't load past: "Verifying Expansion: Breaking Ground SquadExpansion/Serenity".

Expand  

Ey, can you please read back a page and see that pestering the devs won't make it happen any faster? 

It's not something you just "upgrade".

If you want to play with planet packs, you need to be on 1.7.3.
