New Planets Of Outer Planets Expansion

Moons Orbiting Urlum

Nuovana

Half of this moon's surface is covered by a large glacier. Some KUFO believers say that the small white dots seen inside the glacier are secret alien bases.

Lyvara

Evidence suggests that in the past Lyvara looked very much like Kerbin.

Lyvara's biomes!

Ven

A rocky brown planet that had a strong volanism in the past. Now it appears to be all frozen...

Kerlanes

Many years kerbal astronomers thought the newly discovered planet, Urlum, didn't had moons... Until someone started cleaning the lens... What they saw was just an ordinary but beautiful boulder.

Moons Orbiting Neidon

Phal

A rocky blue planet simmilar to Vall, orbited by it's moonlet, Olmo.

Olmo

This litle snowflake (it literaly looks like one) orbits Phal on a 1 degree ange and it has a VERY spiky surface. Attempting to land here is SUICIDE!

Kintar

This moon has many collision craters that may contain precious minerals and even frozen water!

Erfen

This captured cratery moon is deformed by a huge impact crater caused by collison with another moon, in the distant past..

Dwarf Planets/Asteroids

Klive

This litle asteroid was discovered when the KSC decided to start the asteroid redirect mission. All they found was just that this space potato is the smallest object in the Kerbol system.

Sisyphus

Curently this litle comet is the farthest known object in the Kerbol system. Further observations showed strange formations close to it's north pole.

You should check the KerbalStuff page again! It now ads 4 moons to Urlum! >

[amarius1]

That is one high contrast body... Did Bender (REFERENCES ARE AMAZING) crash an oil tanker there too? Anyway, looks interesting.

[amarius1]

Well, that was just 1 moon! Check the latest update. 3 new moons for Neidon and 1 dwarf planets as well as some orbit tweaking for Urlum's 4 moons!

Great, thanks!

[amarius1]

Well, did you heared that v.1.4 is out? I released 3 moons for Neidon and 1 asteroid similar to Dres!

[Larrt_M]

Yes, just downloaded it

[amarius1]

Well hey man! It's version 1.5 today! just made OPMexpansion compatible with the new OPM 1.5 update! You'd better check the kerbal stuff page daily!

[Dres]

Cool, downloading.

[amarius1]

Would you like to be a tester? Also, i released the 1.5.1 hotfix because of a Kopernicus-breaking bug.

[Dres]

Maybe, lemme get back to you in a little while. I do have a knack for finding bugs (read: Ruthless searches).

[nebuchadnezzar]

I can't seem to get the new moons for Neidon or Dres to work with the new 1.5.2 update. The Urlum moons seem to work fine. I noticed the only data in the kopernicus config file is for the Urlum moons, not the Neidon or Dres moons. Is this why the moons aren't working?

[amarius1]

Well, I let those textures from Neidon's moons there to fix the for the next update. Also, today I released version 1.5.3 that re-adds Neidon's moons and 1 dwarf planet! Also, I made a new album.

Well, i released 1.5.3 with even more moons to explore!

[Dres]

Cool man! Also, repeating text ftw.

[amarius1]

Well, guess what?! New update! v.1.5.4 See the changelog on the DL page!

[Borisbee]

Why are you distributing OPM textures and .bin files along with your own stuff?

[Dres]

Cheking it out now.

[Eudae55]

Why are you distributing OPM textures and .bin files along with your own stuff?

I just had a look for myself.

Amarius1, you'd save a lot in terms of download size if you just included the textures for your own mod. Seeing as you're asking people to download my mod in advance, distributing the OPM textures is a needless redundancy as they should already be there when people install this mod.

[amarius1]

Yeah... sorry, but I was in a hurry... also, new update today! 1.5.5. Lyvara got rings, (hopefully working) ground scatter for some planets, tweaked orbits for all the moons added, added Voronoi_PQSmod to Lyvara (I still don't know if it's working) and added a dwarf planet farther than Plock!

- - - Updated - - -

I've let them there my mistake... also, since 1.5.4, OPM textures shouldn't be in the download anymore...

[frencrs]

Currently working on a 6.4x size config for this. I'm leaving the surface gravity of all the bodies the same as in the original and adjusting the mass accordingly to the new 6.4x radius.

[amarius1]

K thanks! When you finish can I include your mod download in the thread? You will be listed as"thanks to" list.

[Shepard]

Is it me or Erfen is Thud from Krag's Planet Factory ?
