~KSC Moar Trees!~

[HuntsmanThe7]

Hey Guys, Is there any mods that add more Trees,Bushes,Plants,Statues, and various other random little things to the KSC? I tried KerbinSide and Lack's KSC Expansion but I can't stand all the Memory those Mods Eat up.

If you are going to add more static elements, you are going to use memory. Either you do or you don't, there is no miracle that lets you add things for free.

what about dynamic loading for the trees? use a sprite when far away, only load a few when close

The game already does that. Display of ground scatter rectangles (trees, rocks, grass) depends on distance.

But I'm not sure if there's some kind of LOD.

What takes up memory is textures. Placing another tree takes a few kb for the position/rotation/scale and the link to the meshrender, nothing more. Unless you mean more tree *models* rather than just more trees that have the same look.

How does the game determine which things to use with terrain scatter? Biomes?

If that's the case, then in theory one may be able to create a MM config to treat the KSC like it's another biome for generating trees/rocks/cacti....

(That's only conjecture, and if I'm wrong feel free to explain why.)

It's done by the PQSLandControl PQSMod.
