Yes, without galaxy mode though. (Go into the _GameplaySettings.cfg file and change the rescale to "10")

Though do be warned that rescale for such a mod like this is not guaranteed to work as fully intended.

Can this generate a system and replace the Kerbol system? I want to use this as a randomly-generated system replacer.

currently no, i thought of adding such a thing in the future
 

if you want, i can explain how to do it manually (it is a bit complicated in some areas, such as replacing kerbin)

Please do, so that others in my situation can do it as well

Replacing Kerbin and the Sun is far too much for a text-based tutorial, so I'll explain how to just move some planets to Kerbol.

(Optional!) So first you'll have to remove all planets (except for the sun, and Kerbin.) This can be done with one config. (Paste the below code into a file with a .cfg extension, place it anywhere in the InfiniteDiscoveries folder)

Spoiler

@Kopernicus

{

    !Body[Moho]{}

    !Body[Eve]{}

    !Body[Gilly]{}

    // Kerbin cannot be deleted.

    !Body[Mun]{}

    !Body[Minmus]{}

    !Body[Duna]{}

    !Body[Ike]{}

    !Body[Dres]{}

    !Body[Jool]{}

    !Body[Laythe]{}

    !Body[Vall]{}

    !Body[Tylo]{}

    !Body[Bop]{}

    !Body[Pol]{}

    !Body[Eeloo]{}

}

Okay, all planets are now gone. Now find the generated planets that you wanna move (whatever system you find nice)

The planet configs are contained in the InfiniteDiscoveries/Configs/ folder, they have internal names like (two random letters)-(random number). The planets are ordered from B to Z.

In the planet config you can find the orbit node, set the referenceBody to "Sun"

Spoiler

Orbit

{

    referenceBody = Sun //<----- Replace this one with "Sun," the original was the star's internal name.

    color = 0.9603197048049991, 0.9583296743510439, 0.6328175500969618, 1

    semiMajorAxis = 7048049991

    inclination = 0

    eccentricity = 0.166

    longitudeOfAscendingNode = 0

    argumentOfPeriapsis = 0

    meanAnomalyAtEpochD = 274

    epoch = 0

    mode = OFF

    iconTexture = InfiniteDiscoveries/Textures/Misc/rockAtmoIco.png

}

After that, it should have been moved to Kerbol. Feel free to ask any questions.

(This feature likely be added in the 1.0.0 release, as 0.9.9 is already a lot and I have a lot of things to finish with it)

 

btw i dont know why the spacing is all screwed up in the examples, can't fix it when editing

Excellent, thanks for the guide.

EDIT: It works! (though I flubbed the script to change the referenceBody's so all the moons are also orbiting the sun, haha)

Going to the Outer Planets folder in GameData and setting the planets' parent body to newSun should fix this, but I'm not sure.

Would this also work for Minor Planets Expansion?

It'll work for anything.

Inspiring  , many tried but you managed to finally get procedurally generated worlds to ksp. Awesome!

KSP 2, 30 man studio of professionals releases barely functional ksp 1 with better graphics after several years
meanwhile in KSP 1: 1 person makes Infinite planets!

how do we get to the other systems? get a 20000 dv rocket or discover a wormhole or smth?

How you play KSP is up to you. This mod doesn't include wormholes though. (Yet.)

[gounino]

A Lot of dV!



Okay I found a neat world and decided to land in a volcano on it (it has many volcanoes!) - https://imgur.com/a/EbIBzeQ

I can finally live out my dream of Space Engine in KSP. Or rather the other way round.

Can there be an option to have the planets use their fantasy names as internal names? A lot of mods (Transfer Window Planner, Mechjeb, etc) use the internal, non-fantasy names which makes it difficult to figure out what is what.

Unfortunately not, since that would bring a lot more potential for errors (the amount of possible fantasy names is quite low and would risk having some internal names overlap.)

I keep seeing this RedGiantThing object in Distant Object Enhancement and other in-game planet lists. What is it?

It was an object I used to generate a cache (a cache stores the scaled model for kopernicus bodies)

The cache is used for red giants so they can look lumpy, it's kinda useless now but it's kinda funny to just leave it in

[Sup3r_Tyl3r]

What type of stars do these spawn?
Like brown dwarfs, red giants, hypergiants, etc?

[Sup3r_Tyl3r]

random bug/queston kinda related to that: I dont see the galaxy in galaxy mode. just the two black holes and stars. whats happening, is it something with a skybox?

edit: solved, I didnt want to read the things needed for galaxy mode

currently there's 5 main types (they vary in size though, but generally there's 5) those being main sequence, white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, red giants, and neutron stars

are you planning on adding more? seeing a hypergiant or wolf rayet star in KSP would be awesome.
