Kerbol Origins

 

Welcome to Kerbol Origins, a mod that aims to recreate all the SQUAD planet ideas that never got implemented, like the Gas Planet Two (GP2), Gas Planet Three (that is actually a giant rocky planet) and many more. The mod has been fine-tuned to be as stockalike as possible and we made sure that it fills most of the gaps the stock Kerbol system has.

Many of the celestial bodies added by this pack are proceduraly generated, which means that they have a lower memory footprint, but others use heightmaps and while they are not entirely procedural, they offer much more detail than the procedural ones.

 

What does this mod add?

Kerbol Origins is a stockalike pack made to fill in the gaps the stock Kerbol system has while adding more fun and interesting places to visit, from cold giant snowballs to giant majestic gas giants. With a broad selection of 13 celestial bodies you'll never get bored of exploring rocky potatoes. It is strongly influenced by stock art and based on NovaSilisko's ideas (former planet designer of SQUAD)

This mini-mod aims to provide stock planet tweaks to acompany Kerbol Origins. The tweaks are only for looks.

"When in low orbit of a planet, the side of my ship which was facing the planet was completely dark, which was not realistic! It should have been illuminated a bit by the planet's own reflective light!

I decided to fix that with this mod, by making planets and moons to reflect their own (colored) light to your vessel."

"Distant Object Enhancement is a visual enhancement mod that makes objects realistically visible over large distances. It is an update of Rubber Ducky's original "

 

So many giant potatoes...

Faz

Faz is Eve's second moon, a tiny little asteroid-like moon with smooth surface. It is inspired by one of NovaSilisko's test planet with the same name, that however had giant collidable christals on its surface.

Harvest

Harvest is what is left from the collision of Kerbin with proto-planet Beya, the same collision that scientists believe gave born to the Mun we all know and love. Harvest remains forever trailing behind in Kerbin's L-4 point. It is also inspired by NovaSilisko's experiments. In the original version he created, the dwarf planet contained large canyons but all was left from it was the basis for current Tylo's heightmap.

Rega

Rega is a small dwarf planet just like Dres that was only recently discovered. It sports a huge ring system that was captured by the little body while the Kerbol system was still in formation.

Sarvin

Sarvin is the analogue for the famous Gas Planet Two planned by NovaSilisko that part of the community dreamed about. It is the home of 5 moons (Daphy, Potatus, Fonso, Eeloo and Shayle) and an interesting ring system inspired somewhat by Saturn's rings. Blue is the definitory color for the Sarvin System (information about moons won't be shown here)

Keelon

Keelon is a huge Superkerban (Superterran) planet with a thick atmosphere and interesting mountains that make slowing down a pretty great challenge. Danger is the definitory word for this redish world. It is home of three moons, Manai (lava moon), Revus (giant snowball) and Lok (potato moon with interesting colors and equatorial bulge). It was also planned by NovaSilisko except the moons.

Corolet

Corolet is an icy comet and also the most distant large body in the Kerbol system known to kerbal kind, even farther than Keelon. With a very high eccentricity, dust and ice tails (like real comments) emerge from its surface when close to Perihelion.

Installation

  1. Install the required dependency first (Kopernicus).
  2. Merge the downloaded files (GameData folder) with the existing GameData located in you game directory.
  3. If you have problems with memory ussage (the pack is very big but well optimised) you can delete planets. They are split in three systems located inside GameData\KerbolOrigins... . To delete Faz, Harvest, Rega and Corolet delete the DwarfPlanets folder. To delete the entire Sarvin or Keelon system folders, delete SarvinSystem or KeelonSystem.
  4. Run the game.
  5. Send some hugs...
  6. ...
  7. Proffit???
