[WIP][0.90?] PlanetFactory CE

[Porkjet]

Is it possible to change the color of a star?

I wanna try to make a red dwarf.

[Space_Kraken]

Sadly no Porkjet. Believe me, I've tried.

[Porkjet]

That is very sad

[Porkjet]

Iapetus analog

wish there was a way to get rid of the green shine

[Dooz]

Very cool porkjet!

What is the difference, technically, between PlanetFactory and CE?

Huge difference CE allows the creation of custom fully functioning PLANETS!

The planet factory not CE. Just adds more planets.

[rhoark]

That's the difference at a high level overview, but I mean technically. Is CE a front-end or a totally different plugin?

CE is a totally different plugin.

[Porkjet]

So can planets made with CE be installed into the regular Planetfactory Mod?

[Mach_XXII]

No you need to use CE To install custom planets

[rhoark]

And the reverse? Sentar in CE?

[Mach_XXII]

Sentar is already CE

Ah ok.

I hope krag gets back to update and improve this further. It's just way too awesome to be forgotten.

After some time i kinda figured out how to work around the few limitations and get some stuff done. Visual enhancements mod also helps a lot to workaround some things like atmosphere colors.

This might actually turn into a full planet back eventually heh.

I'm working on a kerbal version of the saturn system. GP2 you could say. The rings are a problem tho. There is this workaround to use atmosphere layers to make rings, but honestly, that looks crap from most angles. So I put several of those very close to eachother to get at least one thin somewhat OK looking ring. I've put Eeloo as a moon into its orbit but since I can't remove the original Eeloo its called Eeloo2... I also have a Neptune analogue that is 2000km in diameter and uses Eve as its template (cos I can't properly resize Jool) Visual enhancements mod provided a nice workaround to cover the purple atmosphere.

Here's what I got so far

Those look amazing! Now I have too clear some space on my ksp to use this. Will there be science on the planets? Also for rings maybe ask Proot how he did his rings.

I can help with rings too

Tekto looks really cool for exploration, that north pole has some very nice hill forms! As a side note, do you know if it's possible to add additional meshes to the ground scatter formula?

[Porkjet]

No idea sry. Is it even possible to manipulate ground scatter at all? Because on small minmus based bodies the ground scatter is allways so dense it kills my framerate.

Take a look at Skelton, specifically it's crater/decal. I think this is what Your are looking for.

anyone now how to make a cube shaped planet or moon?

[Porkjet]

Yes, you need a hightmap that turns a sphere into a cube. Look at the super eve planet pack, it has a cube moon called asthsho.

It is Impossible to Edit Ground scatter.

Poke poke.

[Porkjet]

Wow! how did you change atmosphere color?

KittopiaTech ingame planetary editing tools.

Pretty nifty.
