 I'm curious if there's any change to the solar power curve in this mod -- will an otherwise-stock planetary system still make it so that solar panels will sort of be useful at Duna but useless further out than Duna?

I don't believe there's any change to the solar power curve, although there is a change in the relay antenna strength curve.  Much beyond Duna, it's all about RTGs.  If you're heavily modded already, I assume you've looked at NFC's Electrical package?

If NFC = NearFuture Construction, then yes I run that mod, as well as NF Electrical.  :)

Can anyone else (@CaptRobau perhaps?) specifically address my curiosity as to this mod running on KSP v1.2.2, despite the specific-ness of this thread title and other metadata (such as AVC or CKAN) stating v1.2.1?

How does the stock CommNet interact with this mod?

Expand  

This mod boosts the stock commNet distances/signal strengths by quite a lot.  It makes the early game kind of unrealistically easy in this regard, but it's necessary for being able to communicate anything past Sarnus.

I wasn't until you mentioned it.  Now I am.  :)

Happy New Year folks!  I'm considering the possibility of a manual install of this mod over an otherwise mostly-CKAN very heavily modded KSP v1.2.2.  Are there any issues I should be aware of before I delve too far into a new career progression?  This mod seems to still be under active development, so I'm not asking on the status of any upgrades, I'm just trying to work off of some confusing metadata that I have at this point.  I downloaded the zipfile from SpaceDock, and the filename of the zip indicates v2.1, but OuterPlanetsMod.version indicates that this is v2.0.0.0?

At any rate, some casual playtesting in recent days uncovered no issue that I can knowably attribute to this mod, but an issue I am in the process of troubleshooting will in all likelihood require that I scrap my career playthrough to date and start over.  Given that, and my own versioning confusion above, I'm curious to check here to see if anyone can advise me with respect to this truly outstanding mod.

Edited to add: I'm curious if there's any change to the solar power curve in this mod -- will an otherwise-stock planetary system still make it so that solar panels will sort of be useful at Duna but useless further out than Duna?

I asked because I am pretty sure a lot of people are looking and cant find one so I decided to make one myself.

also, you need stockvisualenhancements installed

to use the config just copy it and paste it into your cloud config

This is true. However, if you also have Snark's JX2 Antenna, which was made for mods specifically like OPM, a MM patch is included, which reverts the blanket 4x distance boost that comes with 'stock' OPM.

One of these days I'll play around with OPM and re-balance my Stock Antenna Balance mod for it (or have it override the OPM settings).

In my mod, a single RA-100 at Kerbin has ~23% talking to an RA-15 at Plock maximum.  Of course if you have the lifting power, putting (4) RA-100 antennas onto a single craft around Kerbin would increase that signal power by 2x.  And you could send a mothership with 2-4 RA-15 antennas out to Plock.

This may be a dumb question, but is there any place I can find a labeled map of the biomes on each planet in this mod? Updating the SEP definitions has been really, really slow going without one.

 

Expand  

Open the biome map in your image editing software, colour pick a biome and then match the ####### colour code up to the one listed against the biome name in the celestial body's config file i.e.

EDIT: Put the image in a spoiler tag, not everyone may want to see Slate's biome map.

well actually I only said it because you need a few textures that are in stockvisualenhancements and they are the four cloud layers for eve, detail1, and detailstorm.

Good to know, and thanks @ModerndayLink64

SVE is just a hefty download, but i'll get my hands on those files eventually.  Thank you for sharing the config.
