Ryaja Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I think(as a future update or dlc) would be cool, with sharing of custom systems. And then a selection screen to select the systems in your world and your starting world and system. Edited August 16, 2022 by Ryaja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsEJstandfor Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 You should add options for questions 2 and 3, something like "N/A", because I can't vote "No" on question 1 without filling those out as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 System editor as in rearranging the planets? Could go as a free mod. Planet maker, on the other hand... Could also go as a free mod (KSP1 had Kopernicus), but good luck to everyone who tries to build planets even slightly comparable to these without a team of professionals and multiple programs to work with.

Could also go as a free mod If it was official it could work with the steam workshop or a sharing system inside the game better. I was thinking you would create a whole new system. Also, if it was built into the game it would most likely have a better UI and game integration. Mods could add assets to it. 18 hours ago, The Aziz said: but good luck to everyone who tries to build planets even slightly comparable to these without a team of professionals and multiple programs to work with. Yes, you would not have the same quality but the KSP 2 team could upload basic assets to the editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinya Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 How about making a modding kit, which it would be part of ? something akin to the creation kit from bethesda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaman Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Totally out of scope for stock IMHO. As an official standalone program then ok, why not. But don't under estimate the amount of work involved to create detailed, interesting and varied planets etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutabaga22 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It would be amazing! I don't think it would be too crazy, but the planet editor could just be -Scatter -Recolor -Terrain -Atmosphere Scale -Atmosphere Makeup Then the terrain would be random generated based on the terrain selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, randomising using the above options would work as a starting point, or for small moons etc. But adding the details and cool features that make the planets interesting and different enough to each other to inspire and make it worth the effort of exploring them takes time imagination and attention. Look at how often players mention how dull and 'samey' many if the KSP1 planets and moons are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephensmat Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Would it be a good addition? Hell yeah. Do I think it's going to be offered? No. Come to think of it, aren't there mods for KSP1, with 'outer planets' or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the right tools are included to manually adjust and detail things properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
