Introducing the Gratuiton solar system, my on-and-off (a lot more off than on, lol) project for the past 2 years.
This planet pack replaces the stock one with a completely new fictional one, made up of 24 bodies to explore. The goal of this planet pack is to spike the difficulty of missions for more experienced players that are bored of the stock planets. Planet textures will not be shown, so you can experience it for yourself without me going and spoiling it.
You start on Xipof, an Earth analog with a considerably thicker, but also lower atmosphere at 25km. Gravity is kept the same so the TWR readout is consistent.
Your first challenge will likely be landing on Caccurn, Xipof's moon, whose gravity is around 2.5x greater than Earth's moon. But the challenge doesn't stop there. There are 7 other planets to visit.

Any suggestions for balancing or making it more challenging/interesting are welcome.

- Stegori: No moons. Mercury analog with an atmosphere 6x as thick as stock Earth 20km high. Makes landing a lot easier, but getting off is a different story.
- Scopla: 1 moon. A Venus analog, except the gravity is much closer to Earth's, and the atmosphere is 4x thicker.
- Aluria: 3 moons. Analog to nothing. A super-earth, but with a thinner atmosphere. Gravity here 1.15x stronger than Earth's.
- Dypso: 3 moons. A gas giant. 2 fairly challenging moons, one having gravity even higher than Ganymede's.
- Itania: 4 moons. Analog to Jupiter, with the same gravity but also a ring system. 2 challenging moons, one with a thick atmosphere, and another with gravity greater than Ganymede's. It also has an atmosphere, but it's so thin that it won't help much for landing.
- Pecrolis: 2 moons. Pluto analog. This one isn't too difficult, but will add delta V to missions.
- Icides: 1 moon. Analog to nothing. This icy planet is very far from Gratuiton, and has gravity comparable to Ganymede's.
