In that case, have you given any thought to Parallax 2.0 compatibility? I imagine it probably wouldn't be too difficult to implement the existing terrain scatters even if you are changing the worlds around a bit with Kopernicus. I have no idea what's involved with making brand new scatters though.

Down the line yes.  I'm still learning myself and Parallax is going to be a pretty big leap, so I'm working my way towards it. 

Most likely won't be before this mod releases though.

Ended up scaling it a bit too big, which as a consequence robs it of some of its dramatic heights and lows, but that will be adjusted in time. 

You'll also notice a cloud layer that's pretty visible; thats going to be replaced with a genuine atmosphere and thus scatterer...probably. I don't think anyone's actually ever used scatterer to give a moon a barely existent atmosphere, but it would be a lot better for my purposes to use it over an EVE hack.

Triton in KSRSS has one iirc

If minmus has an atmosphere could you give Tylo one? In one thread I heard someone say that it is weird a body that massive wouldn't have some atmosphere.

Real talk I thought it had one lmao :sticktongue:

Maybe switch it's environment with laythe if you are making this a planet pack. You could make laythe have a duna-like atmosphere and make tylo the wet one.

Ehh I'm pretty keen on keeping Laythe the classic Laythe. Tylo I plan on bringing closer to Iapetus which was, according to Nova, the general inspiration for it.

The, I think, 6th iteration of Kerbin. This one I think I'm pretty satisfied with.  It also has lore, which is going to be a thing I think.

Obviously of course there's no scatterer work and the EVE effects are just copy/pasted in from Sol, and the normal still needs some work, but its come together really well today.

"Still needs work" he says about the best looking Kerbin I've ever seen.

You'll come to see that I'm what one might call a perfectionist. 

Plus it also doesn't help that as I continue to work on these worlds I get better at it, so my earlier work starts to look worse to me than it did when I originally made it, making me want to re-do it. 

Which I'm about to do for Mun :wacko: lol 

But on that note, here's the initial go at Duna.

I had an idea. If you want to make dres colorful you could have it be growing bismuth on it's surface.

That is an interesting idea. A very interesting idea in fact, and I think I know q good way to do it. 

Nice!

That's great! JNSQ and KSRSS are so heavy these days, I really would love to go back to the stock system and not having it crash anymore because of excessive memory consumption

Don't get me wrong, as a baseline the mod is going to be pushed as hard as I can push it. But I'm also big on accessibility, so in general it shouldn't be that much heavier than stock+OPM was, particularly if one chooses to skip or downgrade the other visual aspects like the eventual EVE and Parallax applications.

Will you be moving the orbit of Pol to make it closer to an Io analogue?

Probably yeah Pol and Laythe will swap places.
