Science Definitions are cool. I could help with them If you'd like! I know a lot about the natural world, so I could come up with some informative stuff about the Planets with some added Kerbal humor.

Just did a test on actually getting there by wormhole (yes, it is possible without cheats), and it turns out that to get to Ilnixe from the wormhole, it takes over 1,400 years. So, uh, I'm moving it to Saryn's orbit!

Hi There. No, The Mod Is Not Dead.

JFA DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 4

I've been working on 2 moons specifically, both in orbit of Saryn. I know I said I was trying to add stuff to Qir's orbit (since Nytixe is an empty system), but It's probably best to add the moons to the planet that's getting the wormhole, so needs them. Speaking of Qir, I'm going to make it purple. Currently Saryn and Qir are basically identical, which is not a good thing when developing a planet pack. What are these moons and why did they take so much time? Well...

Midr:

An asteroid moon of Saryn that orbits at incredibly low altitudes. Expected to form a thin ring system at some point.

Progress: 100%

This one was difficult because I couldn't get the ScaledSpace mesh to match the main heightmap. Turns out I just needed to reload the cache file.

Aklin:

Around 1.5x the size of Eve with the same atmospheric density, the storms on this pale beige dot are fierce. The dense atmosphere means that your Kerbals should probably not go outside, even if Jeb insists. Strange orbital defects have been observed in it's orbit around Saryn, almost like there's some sort of dense moon orbiting it, however it has not been sighted yet.

Progress: 4%

I know what I want to make, I'm just not sure how to make it.

NO IMAGES AVAILABLE.

hi.

JFA DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 5

I've been working on another mod for a different game and putting JFA off because... I got bored and frustrated setting up Aklin. I'm coming back to modding, but expect less frequent. Anyways, update will come out this November, but I wanted to talk about the development roadmap.

1.1 - SUNFLARE

Released.

Small update changing the sunflare textures. No bodies added.

1.2 - SARYN

50% Complete. (November 2024.)

Adding 2 new moons and moving the wormhole to Saryn. This may seem minor, but is pretty major. Part of the originally proposed "Alpha 0.4.0" (LUNA), and than the planned version of the released update... I split it in two, those being SARYN and LUNA. Speaking of Luna...

1.3 - LUNA (Jan-Feb. 2025)

Fully Planned.

It's like Saryn, but for Jona. 3(?) Moons.

1.3.1 - LUNA+ (After LUNA.)

In Planning.

Polishing and stuff. Mostly unimportant.

RELEASE CANDIDATES (No clue lol)

Polishing, actual working EVE support, making the mod not suck... All those things. I'm not sure if I'll keep them private or publish them. (r1, r2, r3 r3.1...)

 

Sorry for the lack of images! As stated, I was on break, so haven't really been... Developing.

JFA MINI DEV UPDATE 5.2

The update is ready, but I am unable to post it for some reason. I am using Firefox, and any time I attempt to access spacedock.info , it gives me the "Secure Connection Failed" error. Any help would be appreciated, or maybe just an alternative to mirror it to.

In the meantime,  I'll try to push the zip to CKAN manually.

Thank you for your patience, I'll hopefully be able to push it to github. Download it there when I send another message here.
