[1.12.x] [VERY WIP] Far Frontiers - An unusual take on the Outer Planets concept


Recommended Posts

As a co-developer of OPX and IPX, I thought that players should have the option of a Kerbol system less similar to our solar system. My first experiment in this was the Pylo mod, and it turned out pretty good. When I saw Kerbol System Expansion, I was immediately inspired to do an unusual take on the Outer Planets concept. Presenting...

FAR FRONTIERS

Far Frontiers will introduce not three, not four, but FIVE giant planets to the Kerbol system. All giant planets are designed to be very different from any solar system equivalent, per the design philosophy of a unique Kerbol system following the Pylo mod.

ROADMAP:

Spoiler

Mostly complete:

  • Ryle and Lyre, binary gas giants (Top image)
  • Croi, cryovolcanically active moon (Ryle-Lyre)
  • Afor, hazy moon (Ryle-Lyre)
  • Cael, purple ice giant (Bottom image)
  • Pel, volcanically active moon (Cael)
  • Mir, a moon with cliffs (Cael)
  • Nui, the mod's equivalent to Tekto (Cael)
  • Teyta, the mod's equivalent to Slate (Cael)
  • Sannen, green ice giant rotating in the wrong direction
  • Sett, potato moon (Sannen)
  • Xap, A prograde moon in a retrograde moon system (Sannen)
  • Cali, the mod's equivalent to Nereid (Sannen)
  • Auro, a gas dwarf
  • Faust, a distant icy moon (Auro)
  • Biome maps for ALL terrestrial bodies
  • Eeloo repositioning
  • Parallax support for ALL terrestrial bodies

Planned:

  • More moons for Ryle-Lyre, Cael, Sannen, and Auro
  • More volumetrics
  • Silan compatibility

SUGGESTIONS BOX: Here it is!

DEPENDENCIES (If you decide to try it now): Kopernicus, 000_NiakoUtils, VertexHeightOblateAdvanced (Core), EVE/Scatterer Volumetrics, Parallax (Visual effects, delete Parallax folder if not needed)

LIKELY INCOMPATIBILITIES: OPM, KSE, JNSQ

LICENSE: MIT

Will there be any support for KBO related mods? (MPE, Trans-Neidonian objects, etc.)

AFAIK, this mod and all of @JoshTheKerbal’s mods are dead, considering in a community post (YouTube) he said no more planet videos, and said he hates making the planet mod videos. What he doesn’t realize is that likely ~80 percent of people subscribed BECAUSE of planet mods.
