I'll second the Jool vs BetterJool issue, I've noticed a number of errors popping up in my logs related to the name change, mainly around Parallax and Scatterer. Nothing that's stopped the game from loading (although I've yet to visit Jool in this save) but I find myself wondering as to the purpose of the rename.

I'm pretty sure the purpose of BetterJool is to retexture Jool, otherwise I see no reason. I never found Jool to be a particularly ugly planet anyways, it is just a green gas giant.

But you can re-texture or even replace (which is what OPX does) a planet without renaming it, that's why I'm unsure of the reason for the rename. Hopefully the mod author will stop by and let us know.

Basically Jool's HD texture is hardcoded into the game, so if you want to do another texture it's easier to just kill-and-replace it than try to do any textural code-changing shenanigans.

Is the MoonDistance.cfg file in OPX-SarnusPlus\KopernicusConfigs supposed to be for use with a specific mod? It's increasing the SMA of a bunch of Sarnus's moons via a multiplier (rather than a specific number), but only a couple are tagged with a "NEEDS" for a specific mod.

I don't think so, but I THINK this was to accomadate the fact that Sarnus (had to stop myself from spelling Sarkin) is much larger then OPM Sarnus.
