Climate On Planets

[N1CK]

After a bunch of messing around with the code of planets I replaced the temperature tab on a custom planet with the climate tab.

How I did this was by saving Earth as a body then opening the .ubox file for both with winrar and opening body.json.
Than I copied this code
"},{
"AlbedoFlag":true,
"Snowball":false,
"InfraredA":213.98,
"CarbonDioxidePPMV":389.85,
"UseClimateScenario":false,
"IncrementCO2":false,
"EmissionRateCO2":72882.6019722666,
"DepositionRateCO2":38025.7053768347,
"InfraredB":1.7,
"DiffusionConstMagnitude":0.44,
"HadleyFlag":true,
"LandHeatCapacity":1420.2,
"WaterHeatCapacity":3830.8,
"CouplingCoefficient":3,
"LatentHeatCO2Flag":false,
"$type":"ClimateComponent"
}]"
from Earth and putting it at the bottom of the custom planet's code, I updated the archive and restarted the game and my planet had a climate tab.

-I used Notepad++    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.9.1.html
-and Winrar     http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Next I am going to try texturing planets, if I can... I won't give up.

Could you do a step by step video on this at some point? My planet still doesn't seem to have a climate.After following the steps? These are the two custom planet's i tried to edit.

[N1CK]

Yes I will. I will start now: this is the video

Although it's a tad hard to follow. I appreciate what you've done here. I have no clue how to even make Video's so hey. Thank's again

your welcome sorry it is fast try pausing it when you need to.

Please keep in mind that this manual tinkering with files can permanently break your simulation.
Make sure you create a backup of whatever you're changing. We cannot recover files for you

Also note that the climate simulation is specially configured for Earth and Mars and will not yield any realistic results on any other planet. We are working on a general solution that will replace the current Climate and work on any planet.

I came across this after testing this out on several random planet's. I will turn the climate system off for now. I can wait for a more stable version.

yes i know i found this out when I made a planet not spawn in completely that's why I didn't use it on planets I like. I know it doesn't yield any realistic results but it is still cool that i can use polar ice caps.

Also while i was looking through the code I saw an option for "ShowAurora" what is that?

Looks like you found a secret.

Ikr i cant believe i found it.

[DoctorWh0?]

Maybe the northern lights?

[Pizzaeater1K]

I am going to guess that it is a feature that will be added in the future.

sounds epic
