WhirligigWorld Progress Report

Whirligig World 0.6 Changelog. October 21, 2018, 7:50 PM EDT.

CHANGELOG (from version 0.5):
* Added Gannovar, an icy water world in an eccentric orbit around Gememma.
* Shrunk Statmun by half, returning it to its size in 0.4.
* Mesbin's terrain has been revamped once more, and it now has an 8K normal map to look better from low orbit.
* Mesbin Space Center has been moved and its terrain recolored.
* Mesbin's north pole has a deep basin with a thin atmosphere at the bottom. Around 100 meters tall, 1 atmosphere of pressure.
* Added some more science definitions, changed some.
* Reander now has a new texture and cloud banding pattern.
* Statmun has a normal map that makes sense now.
* Wers' SOI has been reverted to default, it no longer cuts off before you reach Vizea.
* Added Deazil, a Tyepolbynar trojan with lakes of diesel fuel. It was originally added as a binary companion to Lowel, before I realized that it kind of overshadowed Lowel, and I wanted the focus to be on Lowel, so I moved Deazil to Tyepolbynar trojan for now. I may find somewhere else for it or remove it.
* Revamped Etrograd's terrain, it looks fantastic now, especially from the surface.
* Minor tweaks to the miscellaneous orbital elements of some moons--they were not uniquely defined yet.
* Moved Rik to be an asteroid orbiting between Egad and Reander--the closest thing this system has to a "main belt."
* Moved Fophie to be a long period comet orbiting Gememma well above the plane of the solar system.
* Added a new model (created by NovaSilisko) for the Kaputnik probe core, gave it weak gyros.
* Replaced the modular girder segment with the long and short I-beams in the start node of the tech tree.
* Added a new biome map for Etrograd's new terrain.
* Remade and "standardized" the atmospheres of Egad, Valyr, and Oshan.

TO-DO:
* Make Shol's Distant Object Enhancement sprite white, so it no longer overshadows Kaywell.
* Remake and standardize the atmospheres for Shol, Tyepolbynar, Imterril, Etrograd, Deazil, Kerbmun, Derbin, Reander, Lito, Totooa, Gannovar, Lowel, Mandrake, and Rutherford. (Priority on the non-gas-giants first)
* Fix the science definitions for the bodies which have been changed, add more science definitions.
* Change science multipliers for Kerbmun homeworld mode. (And maybe change science definitions?)
* Balance pass for science multipliers?
* Add descriptions to planets.
* Remake the textures for Tyepolbynar and Shol, bringing them up to the quality of Reander's new texture.
* Remake Mandrake and Rutherford's textures to account for their slow rotation period--they should have different cloud banding patterns because their mutual tidal lock causes them to rotate slower.
* Ensure tech tree modifications work with 1.5.0's new parts.
* Ensure tech tree is compatible with community tech tree.
