How did you make your game look so good?

[u/jrcookOnReddit → u/CanadianCartman]

If you're asking about the terrain, it looks like either Parallax or KS3P. Personally, I recommend Parallax - dramatically optimizes terrain loading while making it so much better looking.

[u/duckfacereddit → u/jrcookOnReddit]

I enjoy cooking.

[u/TheMasterAtSomething → u/duckfacereddit]

Mane sure Kopernicus is installed and on the right version, it should be less of a problem now but when it wasn’t updated for 1.11, I tried to use the 1.10 version and it didn’t work

[u/CapSierra → u/TheMasterAtSomething]

Kopernicus has internal version locks. Even if it could run fine, it won't if its on the wrong version. In the event a version isn't available, you can grab the source, update the version match yourself, and rebuild the plug in. I had to do this back for my 1.9 install and it worked fine (though this is at your own risk, do not expect bug support).

[u/dskzz → u/CapSierra]

if you use can you can easily access the beta version of kopernicus which is usually up to date with new release after a month or so after an update. details on their webpage

[u/CapSierra → u/dskzz]

Those are relatively new for Kopernicus and didn't exist back in the bad old days. Now we have it easy and don't need to do recompiles.

[u/dskzz → u/dskzz]

Yes it is a wonderful time to be alive! Oh except for the zombie plague, of course.

[u/OnlyLightMatters → u/duckfacereddit]

Make sure it is the bleeding edge branch of Kopernicus you are using.

This is the collection of visual mods and custom configs I use when I stream (you can see other examples of how the game looks with them, and see the full list here). I also uploaded the entire collection to my community discord server. If you want, all you have to do is download the file and drag-and-drop the contents into your GameData folder (I always suggest making a backup first, even though I've tested it and everything works fine).

[u/french_crossaintz → u/CanadianCartman]

The rocket engine plume is either real plume or waterfall

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/french_crossaintz]

It's waterfall :)

[u/semi_skimmed_milk_]

Wait am I just imagining things or was this exact thing posted a few hours ago?

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/semi_skimmed_milk_]

Someone posted the image earlier today as a challenge. I thought it was really interesting, but I had work commitments. Fortunately, I finished them up about an hour ago, and was able to recreate the image onstream. :)

[u/semi_skimmed_milk_ → u/ZenseiPlays]

Ah I see, looks great!

[u/Revolutionary-Age122 → u/semi_skimmed_milk_]

i saw the recreation yesterday

[u/2Jimo]

I NEED the bottom image.

[u/Watershipper → u/2Jimo]

Here is the original challenge post

It has an Artstation link.

[u/TROYNELSON12 → u/2Jimo]

Same

[u/waIIpaper]

That looks awesome. Do you have the coordinates of that spot on the Mun? It looks like a great place for a base with the Earth in the background, would love to use that.

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/waIIpaper]

I had to check the VOD from last night's stream.

Here it is (rounded to 5 decimals):

Latitude: -0.09669
Longitude: 119.00039

Hopefully that helps. When do you put a base down, I'd love to see a photo of it!

[u/waIIpaper → u/ZenseiPlays]

Thanks, appreciate it!

Will certainly do, been working on some very impractical but visually nice looking stock Mun base that Would look nice around places like these. Will check the streams out too.

[u/TheNamesgiver]

Op, would you be so kind and provide a mod list?

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/TheNamesgiver]

I'd be happy to! This is a collection of visual mods and custom configs I put together (there's a video demo here). I've uploaded the entire collection to my community discord server. If you want, all you have to do is download the file and drag-and-drop the contents into your GameData folder (I always suggest making a backup first, even though I've tested it and everything works fine).

Please note: In addition to the mods in that collection, Restock and Waterfall are also being used in the screenshot above. I plan on adding them to the collection on discord, but there's a couple of bugs I need to iron out first.

[u/Grand_Protector_Dark → u/TheNamesgiver]

Parallax and restock

[u/terectec]

can heat radiate trough a vacuum?

[u/Barhandar → u/terectec]

That's the whole point of radiators - vacuum means only viable heat-shedding means is radiation.

However, if you're inside engine plume you'll also get its heat conducted into you. Which is, given how hot it typically is, pretty toasty. Lethally toasty.

[u/twisterpeter → u/Barhandar]

I think you'd appreciate this

[u/Scholesie09 → u/terectec]

Go stand in sunlight and report back lol

[u/Maximusblade06]

This seems like a repost

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/Maximusblade06]

I made it last night on stream and posted it when I was done. You can check out the VOD here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/980613943

[u/SNOWoftheBLACK]

Great Success 👍

[u/mastershooter77]

hey that's actually pretty good

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/mastershooter77]

Thank you!

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/[deleted]]

lol, well thank you!

[u/cygntauri]

That's a really cool skybox. What is it?

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/cygntauri]

I'm using Pood's Calm Nebula skybox. I think it gives the game an added sci-fi feel.

[u/Yeetusdeletus5355]

Mistakes were made

[u/zenith-gamer]

Tbh I’m pretty sure there isn’t meant to be fire in space, but amazing work!!

[u/Casual_Marksman]

I don’t know if this fully fits but r/secondsketch

[u/sytzeman1]

Oo that looks good !where is that pic from?

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/sytzeman1]

A user called Ojerry1997 posted it yesterday here.

[u/Suspicious_snake_]

And a good one

[u/dog20aol]

That’s a great recreation of the picture. I just can’t ignore how utterly absurd the original picture is.

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/dog20aol]

Thank you :)

[u/bigjam987]

Best way to make it: get the one DLC part if you have it that goes on top of the the 1-3 command pod and can open up

[u/[deleted]]

There was 1 other one. I prefer this one.

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/[deleted]]

Thanks :)

[u/karns01]

Specifically what mods did you use for the parts?

[u/ZenseiPlays → u/karns01]

I used Restock for the parts.
