Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Olivine formation I got near the same one later today and was going to deploy the rover but... This was from My 5 Meter tall lander for scale next to it Huh first to make the second page... YAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerikBalm Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Eve volcanic rocks (modded to show up on Kerbin) Eeloo ice chunks (modded to show up at kerbin's poles) and just an FYI, this is the small Mun crater variant, the ones I posted on the last page were the large variant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one was at the northern Hemisphere the second being at mun's north pole. During testing of the Eve rover I found a baobab I found out a lot of surface features of three of eve are at the coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't. I want kerbin to be more like Earth. Earth has geysers, earth has volcanic rocks, pumice, glaciers, etc. Of course they only occur in certain areas, like volcanic features and geysers in yellowstone. Surface features can be restricted to biomes, and I wouldn't want geysers randomly all over the place. So in my game, I'm roleplaying the "badlands", which already mostly occupy a large crater shaped basin, to be an area of volcanic activity similar to yellowstone... so it gets the volcanic features. Pumice also floats and is easily transported by water due to its low density. They are different features in the game files, (using the same models), and like everything on kerbin, they don't yield much science. I can easily hunt for features on their native worlds with the mission builder or the alt-f12 set orbit cheat. I'm just doing this to spruce up Kerbin. Plus the badlands are on the other side of the planet. To get shore+grasslands+highlands+oceans+mountains, you barely need to go very far from KSC. tundra, desert, and the polar biomes only require setting down 1/4 of the way around the planet. Getting to the badlands requires going abotu 2x as far as you need to go for every other biome... so I'm quite fine with it. Plus as soon as Kopernicus updates, I'm rescaling everything to 3x, which is much harder than stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Prates Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 @The Doodling Astronaut I found that same monstruous thing in Minmus' midlands. It can be climbed, so it's an anomaly, as I remember scatter not being actually there to block your movement. Didn't have an arm to scan it though, only a Kerbal. Is that ... slime? Moss?! I have picked seemingly unpickeable mun stones, so I wondered... can I pick this up, regardless of it being HUGE?! Turns out I couldn't. Can't tell if it is because of it's size (maybe it is not a rock you can pick up at all), of if I couldn't stay dead-center above it.

Foxster Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That would be a choc chip in the frozen minty goodness that is Minmus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Prates Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Well, I managed to take a scanning arm to it. Turns out it is a OLIVINE FORMATION, whatever the hell that's supposed to be. Cool! The green stuff may be BRINE, then. A whooping 600 science for the full reward. Its not a Minmus rock then, so it can't be picked up. Would be funny if it was tho: putting all 100s of tonnes of in in your regular backpocket! Edited June 24, 2019 by Daniel Prates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was confused at first too! Just came back after surgery so I am going to have a lot of downtime so a big surplus on surface features for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Prates Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The MINMUS GREEN SANDSTONE, found in the great flats: 300 science, half the sci generated by the olivine boulder. Can be picked up - though, again, its one hell of a rock to carry around. I flew back to the lander with my jetpack and no more weight was noticeable. I would have found much more logical an animation of the kerbal chipping away a piece of the stone with a small hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 GILLY LANDER READY We will have images soon. Maybe not first on this but first with detail!

Guest Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Unfortunately the gilly lander due unknown gimbal loss failed to touchdown and get surface features I got close though so I will give pictures out The Gilly private mission failed to land due to an unknown gimbal failure. The gimbal of the spacecraft had little effect so cruise and lander had a weird gimbal failure that no other lander has experienced. Little to no gimbal. This is weird and the exact cause is unknown. Unfortunately, the next gilly mission is the expedition Gilly mission that which will be one of the final two missions of expedition eeloo. The Gilly ridge will remain a mystery. Schedule of surface feature plans Expedition Dres: Two attempted surface features: Meteorite and crater impact Expedition Ike: Unknown surface features Expedition Ike prove (probe attached to lander): Duna meteorite and Duna dunes Expedition Bop and Pol: Unknown surface features Expedition Eeloo: Unknown surface features Expedition Tylo: Unknown surface features Expedition Laythe: Unknown surface features Expedition moho: Unknown surface features Expedition Gilly: Eve Pancake dome, Eve meteorite, Eve basalt, Gilly ridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
