Liao's OPM take - A planet mod


Recommended Posts

A OPM-esque modpack that expands  the solar system. Still OPM compatible, hopefully. 

-   Tervin, a GP2  esque saturn analog, with a uranus-esque color, larger than jool. Multiple ring systems, and seven major moons:

  • Tok, A heavily cratered metallic world, mainly made of iron and nickel compounds, as a mimas analog
  • Eeloo as an enceladus analog
  • Sila, A world with massive nitrogen ice glaciers, with large darker areas from mountains jutting out of the ice as a tethys analog
  • Kolmas, A brownish rocky world with minor glaciers that appear like frozen lakes, tall mountains, escarpments and the occaisonal deep sinkhole as a dione analog
  • Tim, A mix of corot-5b and triton, a cold, carbonaceous planet with large crystals made of diamond, covered in an occaisonal patch of snow as a rhea analog
  • Toltin, A titan analog with a thick atmosphere, seas of an unidentified liquid and dried up rivers and plains, as well as eroded mountains. A mountain range running north to south on the moon gives it a unique appearance. The mountain range's highest peaks have alpine lakes of liquid methane even on the equator, where most methane seas dry up.
  • Kontra, An Iapetus analog with bizzare ridges, escarpments, and color changes as if it was assembled badly from parts like a spacecraft.

- Tubal, Orange/yellow gas giant that is an analog of (real life) gas planet five, similarly sized to jool, with five major moons

  • Fezan, A world that rotates so quickly that at the highest mountain peaks on the equator, one can jump to orbit

  • Kiv, A "blue mars", being composed mostly of copper compounds.

  • Potash, A world with terrain and coloring like rock salt. It has a thin atmosphere about half the size of duna's.

  • Aur, a mysterious asteroid with precious metal deposits...

  • Termin, a rocky world with the occasional steep mountain, with a ring system and a submoon.

    • Hiper, a hyperion analog, a rapidly spinning spongy asteroid that is barely too small to be spherical.


- Kanla, Uranus analog with purplish-blue coloring, tilted on its side, in between the sizes of Jool and Tervin,  with six major moons.

  • Ezon, A barely spherical grey rock with less gravity than gilly. a puck analog.

  • Flake, A small world that is extremely mountainous, save for one valley covered in lava flows. A miranda analog.

  • Koltia, A world that has a slightly thinner than kerbin atmosphere and is barely able to support ammonia lakes at the poles and equator. An ariel analog that is light blue.

  • Mesin, A world that is butter-colored with many smooth craters that are like dents and darker valleys. Considered a sister moon to minmus. An umbriel analog. Its binary partner is a titania analog.

  • Meslo, The binary partner of the umbriel analog. A world with a magnetic field that is dead on the surface, but an easter egg reveals the kraken civilization within an underground nitrogen sea. Their failed colonization attempts at Bop have caused them to hesitate to colonize other bodies or make their presence known beyond a few "accidents" with kerbal ships. A titania analog.

  • Hemat, A world with a rusty orange color, like a less intense duna, with no ice caps and few craters. Some of the mountainous regions are grey. An oberon analog.

Ned, a neptune analog which is deep red in color,  smaller than jool, with stormy clouds. It is in a distant binary with Prot. It has four major moons:

  • Aster, an adrastea analog that is just as red as its parent planet, orbiting extremely close to the planet, barely above the point where it would break apart. A little smaller than gilly.
  • Telm, a triton analog with frozen nitrogen glaciers and frozen oxygen snow. It has a tenous atmosphere of nitrogen.
  • Blas, a super-venus with a 50 atm carbon dioxide atomsphre and lava seas. The new final boss.
  • Met, inspired by Mez, a lens shaped planet spinning extremely quickly.

Volta, a vulcan analog, a tidally-locked heatblasted world barely hanging on. Has a trail of material behind it.

Harvest, a theia analog, with many easter eggs as tribute to @HarvesteR and Squad :D

Prot, a planet nine analog, a super-kerbin that is extremely cold and has no ice, with mysterious surface features and a strange eccentricity and inclination.  It is in a distant binary with Ned. It has three moons.

  • Bek, a frozen world with quartz crystals across the surface.
  • Tink, a Bennu analog, a chondrite asteroid with valuable resources. It is a trojan of Bek.
  • Tonk, a near kerbin-sized moon with large amounts of ejecta from neighboring bodies on its surface.

I would love to hear what people think:)

Personally, I think there's too many gas/ice giant planets, but your ideas for their moons are nicely diverse. I'm happy to see you're adding a super-Earth type planet, they're underrepresented in both our solar system and mods for the stock system.

Looks to me like this is an addon development thread thats been misplaced. @Great Liao, is this accurate?

yes sorry

Hey there! I just wanted to mention that I noticed an object called Flake. Do you think this might conflict with the Minor Planets Expansion?

still working on textures at this point no point in worrying about it for a few months
