Orion's Planet Pack

#1
This mod replaces the stock solar system, with 20 new planets and moons that orbit around a 2-star binary system. Before installing this mod, you should move your old quicksaves and your resources folder into a backup folder, as this mod is not compatible with other planet mods as of December 30th, 2019. Later on, I will reply you with links to expansion mods that are compatible for this specific mod. Blueprint packs however will work with any planet pack. If you use this mod in a YouTube video or submit it to a mod-sharing website, you should give credit, because I worked hard to make this mod, and I do not like it when people take my mods and say it is their own mod. When I successfully finished this mod, I confirmed that it is now possible to use custom star names. Unfortunately, you can't use a custom name for your home world, because the game is currently programmed to recognize a planet named "Earth" as your home world to launch your rockets from and recover them.

The stars are Orion, a blue star that is twice the mass of the sun, and Orion-b, a red dwarf star with a quarter the mass of the sun, which orbits around Orion.

The mod features:
  • 20 unique worlds to explore (excluding stars): 4 rocky/habitable planets, 2 gas giants, 2 dwarf planets and 12 moons.
  • 1280*1280 pixel highly detailed textures for these 20 worlds and 4096 pixel high atmosphere gradient textures.
  • Gorgeous aqua home world where your rockets will now launch from called Orianna. Called Earth in game to tell the game where to launch your rockets from.
  • Preview quicksaves to look at each body instead of having to launch a rocket to it.

My game however can withstand this mod. For my phone, I have determined that 50 MB of mods is the limit that it can withstand, This mod is only half of that limit. If I try to put more than 50 MB of mods, the game will still load, but when you try to open the build to make or launch a rocket or resume the game, the game will simply become unresponsive and crash. Here are some tips to help prevent this:
  • Uninstall some mods or move them to a backup folder.
  • Resize the texture pictures to make them smaller.
  • Remove some planets/moons.
