Kerbol System Renewed v0.3.0 Volumetric clouds support!

About

Kerbol System Renewed is a mod that moves around stock celestial bodies to be similar to our solar system, including changing the orbital inclination of planets and eccentricity for a more true to life and challenging experience. In this process i've had the need to implement a new gas giant beyond Jool to better accommodate the already existing celestials bodies.

This is my first mod and post on the forums, but i've been playing KSP for 7 years. I plan to add more features as i learn. Any feedback is appreciated.

Existing features

All stock celestial bodies keep their original size and characteristics for gameplay purposes.

  • New gas giant with rings further than Jool called “Juni” with volumetric clouds.
  • Kerbin inclined to 23.5 degrees to simulate axial tilt, all other planets and moons follows this inclination, with their respective changes in their degrees.
  • All bodies have a rotation rework and follows their real life counterparts.
  • Most bodies have been moved to a more true to life experience without major overhauls.
    • Gilly now orbiting Duna. (Deimos)
    • Minmus now orbiting Juni as the first moon of the system. (Enceladus)
    • Ike moved as the further planet from Kerbol. (Pluto)
    • Laythe now orbiting Juni as the second moon of the system. (Titan)
    • Vall now oribiting Jool as the last moon of the system. (Callisto)
    • Tylo now orbiting Jool as the third moon of the System. (Ganymede)
    • Bop now orbiting Ike. (Charon)
    • Pol now orbiting Jool as the inner most moon of the system. (Io)
    • Eeloo now orbiting Jool as the second moon in the system. (Europa)

Planned features

  • Juni rework
  • Adding small ring to Jool.
  • Minmus volumetric geyser jets.
  • Laythe denser cloud coverage.
  • Duna smaller ice caps.

Known bugs

Juni's volumetrics are a v1 so there will be improvements, they may look choppy on certain angles.

Seems mods that add stuff beyond Jool are getting quite popular to do, eh?

But seriously, how do people make such great gas giant textures???

Very cool and exactly what I've been looking for! Are there any plans to add Uranus/Neptune analogs, or perhaps more dwarf planets?

Glad you like it! In this mod will not be any more additions other than the planned features. I'm working on another mod that will be an expansion for this one, and that will have more celestial bodies to complete the solar system.

Awesome! Just waiting for the volumetrics support, and it'll be my main planet pack for a good while.
