My job was stolen before I got it 
Children Yearn for the Exoplanets (working title)
Sigma
Wait I was going to say that
Too late 
Nope, according to me I said it FIRST
you are wrong and you will be left in the mud with your backwards ideas
Eat dirt!!!!!!!!

CYFTE
children yearn for the exoplanets
got some new textures cant figure out which one is better
Second one
I like the first one's poles more, but the second one's equator. Maybe blend between them?
Second one for em
Blend would be best, using the dev video footage might also work if you're doing glumo
new and more glumo accurate texture
The rest of planets that arenβt glumo surely have placeholder textures
Also I saw this on Reddit a while ago
Planet references got from Tutorial1.7_Save.json:

yeah none of them but glumo have textures
but itβs also because textures broke with new update and didnβt fix them yet
iβm using a mix of this and old map shown in show and tell
looked something like this
So no Rask and Rusk? I thought those two were in Debdeb
well acording to this rask and rusk are in tuun
but it also makes sense to me for them not to be in deb deb
But so is glumo and in the show and tell glumo was in Debdeb
its weird
Iβm pretty sure DebDeb is more analogous to Epsilon Eridani than Alpha Centauri
Have you watched this video? I always believed this to be how it was going to be in game. https://youtu.be/d6WPiaXF6Lg?si=LYcmwQsHcfYz61gR
My vector map: https://www.reddit.com/r/KSP2Mods/comments/z2g1zg/while_we_wait_ive_made_a_vector_map_of_debdeb_d/
I would like to emphasize that the only planets officially confirmed for Debdeb are Charr, Gurdamma, and Glumo. This video is my best guess on where the other new planets could be if they are in Debdeb as well. Nate has confirmed th...
yeah but its not accurate
map comes from this video
π€·
The other reason I thought of that is cuz Lapat has life and Debdeb is too young to support life yet
Hold on, did someone figure out how to add planets to the game?!
They also yearn for the mines 
If you want to make more realistic star systems, I recommend you read "The Little Book of Exoplanets" by Joshua N. Winn. I got it at one of the Smithsonian museums and it has been super cool and interesting to read as it shows how they are formed and how we discovered them.
You know Iβm a bit of an exoplanet myself
But also, don't feel realism is required. Interesting gameplay is more important.
exactly!
get mad
I don't want your damn realism!
Fair, just sayin just in case
a healthy mix of both is optimal i'd say. if you're providing a fun gameplay experience while still teaching the player something about the universe we live in, you're doing it right
We're still hard at work on Children Yearn for the Exoplanets. We'll talk more when we can
debdeb texture
crusty
oopsie
is that glumo?
That's mega. Do those work, as in are actual game objects that can be orbited, landed on, et cetera?
yeah just no ground textures yet
and other stuff that planety doesnt support yet
Still great to see though.
pretty
super pretty
Harru
I love this ring!
nice!
new ovin texture
That looks goodd
Will this mod be part of Redux?
atm itβs a standalone project but would happily merge or help with potential interstellar milestone
You shouldπ
is this a as a child i yearned for the mines reference
i was about to say "as a child i yearned for the exoplanets"
Anything new?
not really
donk finally got its own texture but im not too happy with it
donk and gop
or gup i dont remember
why is donk in the rings
that doesnt seem very healthy
i doubt its in there
okay nevermind
will
looks a bit to fat
my math is very old
im focusing on textures rn
prob will redo the whole system when it comes to sizes and orbits
yeah.......... dont needs to be fixed lol
i dont think its that off tho
looked way more phat in the other images
how far are the systems
like apart
also which stars acctually are stars
qeg tuun and debdeb are stars
qeg orbits tuun
idk the math but thats their current positions
debdeb.galactic_position = [-0.5,0.0,-2.5];
tuun.galactic_position = [3.6,0.0,1.1];
i thought qeq was its own thing
where geq orbits tuun at around 0.2 light year
not a lot is know about qeg
ive seen some stuff about it be grabbed from the files
ill prob endup just putting something myself in there
one thing i would suggest is moving lapat to tuun
ill consider
kinda i liked the idea of having proto earth and proto mars in one system
but 2 habitable planets in one system (Verda) also sounds fun
There is no way those rings could work irl right
idk go to gurdamma and check for yourself 
i dont like it alot tbh.
two habitables are weirdΕ
also lapat is the habitable one no?
with vegetation
verda could be a water world
that would be cool
oh its verde mb
updated them to match what i found in some tutorial json
not the biggest change tho
pretty sure it says ovin yes
Nice
silly Tuun orbits
Will it be a binary system with Qeg?(I think that was the name)
@languid karma What is this?
The imaginary point where Rask and Rusk orbit each other
that depends if ill find anything cool for qeg
atm its orbiting tuun but thats because i have no idea what to do with it :p
but probably gonna make it standalone system because u cant see it from orbit of any planet
just realized u probably also cant see rask from rusk because of how the game works
Idk if you ever saw(probably not) but I asked about Jool's moons visibility from another in the Planety thread because I was wondering if binary planets would have the same issue :/
Hope it gets fixed by some mod
yeah i seen it
actually knew about it before because couldnβt see donk from gup orbit either
Looking at this closely, doesn't Puf seem a bit far to support liquid water?
been wondering the same thing
well not a lot is known about puf
whole tuun system currently is what i found in tutorial1.7_save.json
You could probably move it to Qeg so it doesn't only have Skut
Or switch it with Rem
thats what i like about qeq
its just a single body system
quite cool if you ask me
its boring sure
what on earth is umod
have i found some new planet
moon of axod?
yeah it is
also axod apears to be in the debdeb system
okay so let me get it
i replaced axod with glumo
wdym
but i think im still missing one planet
because acording to this glumo orbits tuun
and axod orbits debdeb
so i replaced them
tbh i wouldnt mind axod being in debdebs place
well
not really but whatever
i think it should be as acurate to the files
glumo was said to be in debdeb tho
interesting
then again the videos are like quite outdated
there mightve been alot of decisions
and glumos my fav planet so would rather have it in my fav system too
On another note would this save be possible to be loaded in ksp2
lets find out shall we
i forgot where the saves are
all of these are encoded audio
oh wait no you cant can you
i doubt
nah you cant
well maybe
bit of effort into it but probably not
i dont really see why it would work
i mean if its a save file
hang on
lemme make a new thing
nah it cant be used
wait what if this is the save file they used to make them feature videos
Where is this file located? I've tried looking to no avail
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program 2\KSP2_x64_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64
Thanks
Makes sense, I just didn't know where to start
another moon lmao
verda is a moon now?
noj seems to be a rocky moon
maybe like one with like a atmosphere too?
Moon of what?
we dont know
thats why ill make it a planet
because theres 0 info beside a description
can't you literally see the parent body in that file
not really not in that file
thats all there is in the file
and in the tutorial file its orbiting tuun
considering that save dates to 2021 its obviously pretty outdated
so at the time verdas parent planet mightve not had a name
it would also explain why qeq only has one body orbiting it
so were still discovering new planets to this day?
Theres always going to be exciting files
can you already download this mod?
not yet
does anyone knows the source of verdas planetshine being purple?
where did you get verda being purple
some wiki had it and
someone on ksp findings posted it
and thats what I got from the files
was is ksp findings
#π΅ksp2-findings
in my opinion verda should be smth like this
ignore the backround
yeah thats somewhat what i wanted to do
but actually idk
You could also use that as a merbel sorta thing
hehe
the music for that is gonna be fun
This for like descent
Is there any news?
we're still hard at work we'll talk more once someone figures out atmospheres
aint gonne be me 
WIP
Still just a sketch
So it's using ensemble patches instead of my big string players VST and doesn't have legato transitions coded in
but the timpani is nice
nvm feeling like texturing again new stuff soon
glum
merb
merbel might be my fav ksp2 body
Stunning views
stunning views of our moon merbel
@steady sigil actually didnβt thought about this
always assumed it was some kind of early debdeb and merbel
but actually iβll go with it
even if it's pretty obviously recolored Jupiter, the theory that Axod was a gas giant was still a thing before the connection between this image and it was made
interested to see the interpretation of the moons
Me too, until i did reasearch
then i realised it was probs axod
Oooo, i just thought of something
could that be a newer outer planet?
Like for the kerbolar system
and
axod could be a proto-eve
since Gurdamma, Lapat are proto-kerbin and duna
To be honsest, thats the worst texture for Axod if it was in the game, it just looks like Jupiter
I honestly think Ovin is some type of "Proto-Eve", mainly due to it's location and size
Maybe
VERDA JUMPSCARE
It sounds slightly familiar to the icy descent theme
Whether or not thatβs on purpose itβs still cool
I swear I have seen this exact message
From you
In this server
mandela effect
Maybe small ones?
Like duna style
man can't wait to see what these planets will look like with proper oceans and atmospheres
reel
Lapat does not look healthy
orange
maybe the plants are orange?
actually isn't Debdeb like less than a billion years old
surface life wouldn't really exist yet
So Verda is an exception or is that in another system?
verda is in tuun
tung tung tung sahur
exactly what i thought 
(for those of you wondering where this was going)
i think its time to face the truth and move glumo to tuun
Well in one of the dev episodes they told us glumo is in debdeb. I think it was the celestial architecting episode
In the code it says it's in orbit around Tuun
Yh ik
Lots of stuff is old
i mean the code also says that Skut is alone around Qeg
Oh nope according to the localizations it's actually around Tuun 
Pick a damn system, devs! 
any thoughts about what this 'planet?' might be?
i thought it was early ovin but now im not so sure
if its not i think i potentially found reference for Dorau
it's nearly the same color as Ovin, but not quite
it looks very spherical in contrast to most other KSP bodies (having mountains and the like visible in orbit) so despite not looking exactly the same i think it's Ovin
potential moon for ovin
thats just unnamed?
ovin doesnt have any moons tho
it has pretty wide rings for not having moons
-# i am aware rings can form from asteroid encounters like earth's former one
very very slight orangeish hue
ngl i find orangeish somewhat annoying from what i played
and i doubt devs would do that
im mixed then poll
true, i found the blue light a bit annoying with one of my systems
Dev images show it with orange-red flares but idk if it would translate to same color light or white light
From a (I think) realistic aspect, NASA has said the red and orange dwarf stars bathe their planets in reddish light, but from a gameplay aspect, white light is slightly better. Someone might need to check my sources tho, it's been a hot minute.
In the end, you are the "god" of this system so do whatever you please and thinks looks best. And it's also just a game with green silly guys and strange physics
ill see what the poll says
but maybe ill just make a config if anyone cares enough to change this stuff

im starting to think dorau actually might be some kind of gas gigant
its so far away
Ice giant?
id say its axod
bis (dorau only moon from the files) is very inclinated
If only the devs left moreπ
Should debdeb emit "normal" white light or something orangish/reddish?

@languid karma have you started on qeg at all
mainly asking incase i dont place a star in a position where qeg is
Chances of that are.. extremely low
tragic 
thats qeg position from the files i believe
"x": -7.0,
"y": 0.0,
"z": 5.0
didnt start but im using those
trying to make somewhat accurate gurdamma made gurdamma my least favourite planet
(ignore donk clipping through the rings ill fix it later)
and ignore how ugly it is hopefully thicc atmosphere would hide it
That tiny Donk SOI looks painful
will the rings be further away or is that how close it will be?
they will be moved
im using this picture as reference
rings are old math
i made gurdamma and donk a bit bigger and forgot to resize the rings too
donk size is also
questionable
uh yeah ill change donk size too
Still seems a bit close compared to this version, but idk which one is more recent and reliable.
id say this one beacuse of the atmosphere
Fair
and it also just might be fov
Theres also this POV from the surface in case it could be used as a referance
true
the map view one
That looks incredible !Maybe donk could be a little bit smaller and what about the other moon gop ? Do you know anything about its characteristics? Great work so far !
actually has a texture but its just a placeholder lmao
i think in the files
it had some textures but i dont remember what it was
ground textures not the texture of the moon itself
Looks like a good contrast too donk tho. Making rocky Moons not look similar is very challenging.
actually ill do a poll like emu
voting for it being in debdeb because otherwise i'd have to edit my planet cards 
doesnt feel right voting for tuun
And we'll get Glumo earlier if it's in deb deb
welp acording to my newst calculations glumo is smaller than ovin 
ig noj is just somewhere inside the rings rather than in one of the spaces sadge
What exactly are you calculating
So far we have 0 data of the planet sizes
mostly asuming stuff
like with gurdamma
we know donk semi major axis
so i could calculate somewhat accurate gurdamma size using it
What is it?
1000000
Sounds very placeholder-ish
You sure there isnβt maybe a different one hidden in the files
eh not neccesary
most moons from the file tend to be
oh forgot the word
theyre very even
like 100000 for donk
12000000 for mun
3200000 for ike and etc
new accurately sized glumo rings
still gotta fix EVERY planet coloring cuz theyve been adjusted for orange hue
ill probably end up remaking them anyway
That's so annoying 
Wait so is Glumo already corrected or do you still need to redo it.
still need to redo
and glumo texture itself is kinda bad
if u compare it to how detailed jool is
Yeah looks epic from far away tho. Will it share the same counter rotating cloud animation with Jool ?
i mean sure if its possible to add one day
Okay Cool
Jool doesn't have that
They showed it off but it literally never was in the game for some reason 
Whoops
But yeah that's something they should look into (and I should too)
Would make it much cooler
Thought it was, just way slower
Kerbal Space Program 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed space flight simulation game Kerbal Space Program from Private Division.

Definitely, but it's not present in game for some reason

should Glumo be in debdeb (like said on ep4 of show and tell) or in Tuun (like in the game files)

@languid karma how do you make your terrain heightmaps?
i lay on the ground filled with pain and agony then
acually just watch this at lower speed
What do I actually do when creating a Kopernicus planet?
This moon will be featured in the upcoming mod Far Frontiers. Further updates on my Server or in this forum post: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/225999-112x-very-wip-far-frontiers-an-unusual-take-on-the-outer-planets-concept/

lmao i take pride in my work
completely new glumo texture ik its not very accurate but i think it has the detail it was lacking when compared to jool
c'est beau
i reckon atmospheres and clouds will make it 10x better
when of course that releases 
That looks insane
it actually does
stunning
i should stop taking screenshot and work on merbel already
Glumo from Merbels Pov is gonna look so epic.
it really does
turns out glumo can supernova
i set merbels semi major axis to .0 woopsie
how the flip would i even do that
what even happened to cause that lmao
that
thats fun

genius 
overlayed jupiter texture on top of it for more detail but im not sure if i should keep it
opinions needed
I'm am having an Orgasm
Twin
Are we dead the frick ass
Gross exaduration
stop acting like a diddyblud
...
that says #6B8487, not #6B5487, i realized that on another server
do you have plans for qeg and tuun?
plans yeah
i even started doing some stuff for tuun but i stopped long time ago
debdeb is first
BUT realistically
i think redux interstellar will release faster than mine
if you need help i can probably do a few things
hopefully ill have my part in it ;3
like help would always be nice
but still
we need atmospheres
and u cant get to the system anyway witout interstellar parts
unless u teleport
i made a good few planet packs (that i never released) for KSP1 and i am working on a couple for ksp2
actually been thinking all night about it
heres some planets i made
had this silly idea of
wrong pic
yes?
yesterday i had this crazy idea
what if i put
glumo and axod into kerbolar system
and made every other planet
their moons
its so stupid
so weird
but it would at least make it
actually playable
but just the idea
im still doing the whole system lol
but yeah help would be nice
i even
kinda would like to make this project
somewhat open
thast what emu with their mod did and its going well
like theres already
a mod for whole debdeb
and tuun soon
and emu seemingly made 4 high quality tuun planets
in 4 days
i gotta learn blender
nodes
here are some of my best works
OooOOh
yeah ik
i read every message there is on this server
seen them a lot of times now
lmao
i know a good deal of blender nodes
i could definatley help out
im a little rusty but i could easily re-learn
could you help me with something?
her work is just amazing
and ofc others its also wpetula techo and idk who else
and its not even all
GODDAM THATS PURDY
i think
sure
and thast not all the bodies
becuase theyre also adding their own stuff
more moons for axod etc
the lava actually looks good?? in ksp1?? 
and the surfaces too
due to a complex situation i cant run KSP2 and i need to test how somemaps wrap as i made them kinda weird could you import them for me?
That is actually amazing
and i would be happy to help with blender nodes
ditto
and every planet surface
is equaly good
f orm what i tested
sadly cant get myself to play ksp1
π
i mean probably
they also have a fricking
protoplanetary disk
that no other mod has yet
weird tufx but theres not a lot of screenshots
Everytime I try to play KSP1 now, I just can't. This mod just makes me want to force myself to play. KSP2 looks and feels way better though, as unstable as it is...
yeah whats this mod called again??
sick
@languid karma im going to DM you the maps
i can help with what ever blender nodes you need done
just send me the file and what you need
(as long as we are talking shading nodes, not geometry nodes)
Debdeb is planned on being a blue giant, right?
where does it go here
The only problem i have for Promised Worlds is that, it may sound stupid, it's not game accurate
not really a problem
it still debdeb
they added some bodies but without it qeg would be just skutt
what kind of planets did they put around qeg?
well none currently as qeg is far away
but they have plans
to base it on this shot from
ah
the intro to the game
what shot
oh cool
Could you give stars rings like planets? I think that could in theory work for the remains of the proto-planetary disk surrounding debdeb cuz it's a young star, just not dust cloud disk levels young so it'd look more like a giant asteroid belt.
i think u can
idk how it works
outside the map view tho
i wanted to try it but got distractewd
ah
if qeg gets voted as a brown dwarf i might do that
hey @languid karma ik you have some experience of gaseous giganticus, i'm a little confused with the install, i cloned the git but i don't know what to do next
i'm on Ubuntu if that helps
well i dont really remember anything
byt
if u want to use it
u enter this with ur directory
also tip
always add
--equirectangular [resolution]
i use --equirectangular 4096
k
I don't know, i like game accuracy.
to the file itself?
like
it says c/GasGigantGneration/
because
for me
its directly in the c drive
show me ur command
also i tried to test ur textures in ksp2 but something wasnt working
prob on my side tho
okey dokey
i wish there was just like a tutorial for this
im getting most of my info from random places on the internet
as i child i yearned for the exoplanets
As I child I did what im doing right now

last checked this in march and its looking really cool
We're still hard at work on CYFTE. We'll talk more when we can.
fr tho i am currently working on Promised Worlds that basically the same thing but for ksp1
once its content complete i wish to comeback to this project/ or with approval of other PW members just port it to ksp2 instead
(unless redux does that first
)
you are more ahead than we are
so its likely you'll end up doing it first 
donβt underestimate my laziness
