This version updates Custom Asteroids for KSP 1.1, and also adds many new features to the config format. Old config files will still work with the new release.

New Features

  • Support for KSP 1.1.
  • Limited support for custom asteroid types.
  • Can now customize asteroids on intercept trajectories.
  • Asteroids can now appear only under certain conditions.
  • Asteroid population blocks now support the log-normal, (rescaled) beta, and gamma distributions.
  • Asteroid .value syntax now supports several characteristic periods and speeds.
  • Asteroid orbits can now be given relative to an inclined plane. Useful for mods like RSS and Harder Solar System.

Changes

  • DEFAULT config blocks are now deprecated. They will be removed in version 2.0.0.
  • Stockalike asteroids have been split off into their own config file.
  • Some tweaks to asteroid spawn rates.

Bug Fixes

  • Invalid populations will no longer stop other populations from loading.
  • Near-Kerbin asteroids will no longer appear on unbound orbits, and are much less likely to appear in the main belt.
  • A large number of asteroids will no longer appear when the tracking station is upgraded while using the fixed-rate spawner.
  • Mean anomaly and mean longitude of celestial bodies are now calculated correctly.
