If anyone wants to help with science Def's, I am open

 

 

stuff to look for in the next updates (0.5 and 1.0)

Spoiler

Lue, a new moon or coronia

binary planet revamps

gas giant fixes

twool, kerbin astronomers thought that this planet was a new jool because of the relitive size and color, orbits Gargatua currently has no moons

Murphy, another new moon of coronia

Groi, a rouge planet without moons, moons will come later has a ring

Kevin-Kelvin system, a habitable binary system

Haven, a habitable moon in the Kevin-Kelvin system

Kelly, another habitable moon in the Kevin-Kelvin system

Panorac, yet another habitable moon on the kevin-kelvin system

sully, a normal moon in the kevin-kelvin system

Yorgy, an atmospheric moon of Melvin

Wallop, a Atmospheric moon of coronia

Goos, a moon of coronia with massive hydrocarbon lakes and 8 atmospheres of pressure and 0.89 gees

There will be 2 comets in a new update somewhere down the line comets, PO-2384, in the Poly system and RO-2746, in the Reo system

A brown Dwarf orbiting Poly

Kory will have a tiny submoon kind of like gilly called Potato

Planned futures,

Spoiler

binary stars, habitable system, scatterer support, parallax support, biomes, EVE support

Asteroids in the rings

Rings for most of the gas giants

A option to make kerbol orbit the blackholes

Easter eggs

15 moons of coronia

11 moons of melvin

Dependencies (So Far)

Kopernicus

Singularity

kopernicus expansion (for the wormholes)

 

What I am working on

Spoiler

TCFC

Ground scatters

Biomes

Science defs

Moons

More stars

Poly system changes.

 

Features that will be in the next few updates (guaranteed)

Spoiler

Murfy, a new moon of Coronia

Mortus, a giant gas giant that is orbiting Cynus, striped of most moons because of Cynus, has a giant ring system

Murtos, the only moon of Mortus

Cale, a star that has a few planets

Kale, a small gas giant orbiting Cale

Kcale, a moon orbiting Kale

Roy, a small terrestrial planet

Biomes!

Planed planets

Spoiler

Kevin-Kelvin system, a binary planet system with 3 moons, both planets are habitable.

Panorac, a small habitable moon of the Kevin-kelvin system.

Sully, another small moon or the Kevin-Kelvin system desert with atmosphere.

Kelly, a small habitable moon of the Kevin-Kelvin system.

Sprint system, a binary system with one habitable planet 2 moons, and a ring, thanks to @Iapetus7342 for the suggestion!

Kye, a habitable moon orbiting Melvin

all poll planets will be in updates, but the top ones will be first

I am relatively new to modding, so this probably won't be the best

Q&A

Spoiler

Q. How many stars do you plan on adding?

A. A lot

 

Q. How good of a computer do I need?

A. if you are running ksp right now you should be fine.

thanks to @SQUAD for reasons that I hope doesn't need  explaining

 thanks to @blackrack for the amazing mod singularity, without that mod I could not play with black holes.

thanks to @Vabien for maintaining Kopernicus Expansions.

thanks to @R-T-B for maintaining Kopernicus.

And thanks to @elryker for playtesting

I actually have this already made but there is the weird Kopernicus thing that prevents it from loading.

I don't have any ideas but I could maybe help get it to load.

[Kevin_kerman]

ok thanks that would help a lot, I am rewriting the code for it but any help would be amazing, it happened after I changed coding software. thanks

[Kevin_kerman]

I will hopefully have screenshots this weekend

[Kevin_kerman]

I am making a intergalactic space craft to take some real cool screenshots

[Mr. Kerbin]

Why not make it then teleport it to there to make it much easier?

Unless that is what you are doing.

[Kevin_kerman]

I wanted to see how hard it is to get there without the alt-f12 menu, but yeah that's a good idea

[Kevin_kerman]

[Mr. Kerbin]

That looks great!

When do to you plan to release?

Edited November 20, 2024 by Mr. Kerbin

[Kevin_kerman]

I might release once I finish the Poly system, hopefully in a few weeks if not next week

its not completely finished yet, I need to revamp some gas giant textures and some rings

[Kevin_kerman]

Probably will make more stars

[Kevin_kerman]

I will get better screenshots soon, including the Vessel in that screenshot

Maybe you could add another binary planet similar to Kevin-Kelvin, but only one of the planets are habitable. This binary would also have 2 other moons and a shared ring system orbiting the barycenter!

[Kevin_kerman]

Thanks for the idea; Will probably do that, haven't thought about the binary ring, that sound like it would be pretty fun to make and look nice

I got the idea from Exo's Planet Jam 3, where one of the planetary systems (Mun Kon Wawa and Mun Kon Tawa) share a ring.

[Kevin_kerman]

cool

[Kevin_kerman]

I will continue to work this weekend and hopefully release an early access on GitHub, it will not be complete, I plan to release a more complete version in a few weeks

[Kevin_kerman]

if I ever make custom contracts what should I do?

[Mr. Kerbin]

Exploration.

Like Other Worlds.

Needs  Contract Configurator. 

[Kevin_kerman]

ok, so like grand tours and stuff like that?

Yes. Maybe exploration on certain regions?

[Kevin_kerman]

ok, that sound good
