OK, fellow Kerbonauts, v0.90 is just around the corner, so let's prepare ourselves for a new survey of the Kerbol system. Prepare your probes, ships and launch vehicles, because this will be the largest survey in the history of KSP. Many new biomes have been added and everything needs to be checked and noted.

Is it just me or did the Maps for the Planets change? Dres looks different and Laythe looks way different.

Edit: Tylo is on the end o the Video.

hmm. With that many biomes, will there be a stock "ScanSat" in the game anytime soon? Mods are fine, but with that new contend, there should be a ingame solution to manage this.

Dont think there will be a stock SCANsat but I think also this Mod will be helpfull not to loose track.

Well, the map view visualization is similar to SCANsat.

New Biomes:

* Added new Biome Maps to all celestial bodies.

* Over a hundred new biomes available in total.

* Added cheat menu option to visualize biomes in map view.

I don't get it.

You get science from researching and sampling the KSC sections.

If you make a Space Program, at least know what you made the Center out of :P

That's why it's worth so very little science. It's basically the "baseline" test that everything else is compared to.

A new data point for you: While I have yet to test this thoroughly, it appears the "KSC" biome has been subdivided into "sub-biomes" for each building. Perhaps an artifact of now having buildings upgradable.

I can confirm that the VAB has its own "biome" with respect to crew reports.

sorry if this is covered in another post or another thread, but I've done a bit of searching and haven't quite come up with an answer to the my question (I've seen things in the right direction, just not quite what I was looking for). With all the planets getting biomes does anyone know if there's going to be a way to have like a orbiting satelite perhaps, that can scan for different biomes? like if you were to get it into a polar orbit and just have it reveal the biome as it flys over the planet or something? I know there's some mod's that do something like this, but I'm curious if there'll be something official from Squad? I think it'd be cool to have unmanned satelites used in the game or something along those lines to relay important data. (and then a map overlay to show the location of the different biome)

if this has been answered elseware feel free to delete this post. (though a PM with the location to the answer would be nice as well) thanks!

That was an amazing bit of research and I thank you for your time, I'll be making great use of it shortly.

One thing of note: The VAB has 2 distinct biomes, 1 on the roof and 1 on the ground. I am fairly certain it is the only building to do this, though it may require testing. If no one checks it out by the weekend I will update.

With the help of KSP's cheats to see the biomes, HyperEdit for "fast travel" and MechJeb to see the biome names, I have a list of the different biomes on the planets and moons.

Since the old "KSC" biome has been divided in seperate biomes for each building, there is a chance that "Old KSC" and "KSC island"also have their own biome. I'll have to check it later.

Completed:

- Kerbol

- Moho

- Eve

- Gilly

- Kerbin (Need to check the other bases on Kerbin)

- Mün

- Minmus

- Duna

- Ike

- Dres

- Jool

- Laythe

- Vall

- Tylo

- Bop

- Pol

- Eeloo

ScanSat can scan biomes, but it isn't updated for 0.90 yet.

Awesome! Thank you! :cool:

Thx
