Requirements and Optional Mods

To play with this mod, you require to also install Kopernicus

The mod also requires, but is already bunbled with, VertexMitchellNetravaliHeightMap and CTTP.

As optional mods, you can use Enviromental Visual Enhancments, Scatterer and Parallax for a more visually striking collection of planets.

You can also install Contract Configurator for a small collection of custom contracts.

Other Source code

This mod also includes some laser sail parts that require custom code to work. You can find that one here.
