List of places and biomes in KSP (planetary geology & geography) - UPDATING FOR v1.0.x. (2024)

There are several biomes on Kerbin, and if you go to orbit, you've got low orbit, high orbit and maybe more, I can't remember.

There are few stages of Kerbin's atmosphere.

So far I've seen the deserts of Kerbin, island muddy dirt, regular dirt around the KSC and the launch pad char+goo. Also, north polar ice and sea near the KSC. There are highlands, too (high mountains without snow). (beware - these are not official names of the places you see written in the experiment dialog boxes)

I've sent a probe to Minmus and, except the high and low orbit, there's the surface, and that's it. Regardless of the landing spot, the messages are the same. I've been jumping with the same probe around for an hour.

Cyan-green smooth terrain, pistachio-green plateaus, even the dirty parts (screenshot), it all seems to be one biome, unlike Kerbin.

Mün also has high and low orbit, and surface. I've got only 2 functional probes, so I can't claim that's all there is.

Let's report these places where experiments can be made. Keep it short and simple to avoid cluttering with unnecessary posts. Try to remember the proper names from the dialog boxes.

It's better not to reveal what the goo or science bay do in each situation. It's kind of a spoiler.

UPDATE (includes new stuff from v1.0.x.)

Each is accessible from low orbit, too, and then it becomes a new "place".

Once you're high above the planetary body, there are no known (!) discinctions, except when orbiting high above Minmus, where the regions are still detectable.

Atmosphere measurements are available only when the craft is on a suborbital trajectory.

FAQs

How many biomes are on Mun KSP? ›

Mun. The biggest moon of Kerbin, called the Mun, has a total of 17 biomes, 7 of which are uniquely named major craters. The Mun has the largest amount of biomes in the Kerbol System. Most of the surface area belongs to the Midlands biome followed by the Highlands.

What are the hardest planets to land on in KSP? ›

The same is true in Kerbal Space Program where one of the hardest planets to land on is the one closest to the sun: Moho. Like Mercury, the planet it's based on, it's deep in the sun's gravity well.

How do you find biomes? ›

Players on Java Edition need to type /locatebiome in-game, and a window will pop up with different options for Minecraft players to pick from. Choose the selected biome of interest and hit enter. This will inform the player where the nearest biome of that type is located.

Does NASA like KSP? ›

Some people at NASA are using Kerbal Space Program to experiment in ways that real-world environments wouldn't allow. Kerbal Space Program has spread beyond the gaming community. Just ask NASA, they are fans.

How many planets are in KSP 1? ›

It has Kerbol as the central body which is orbited by 5 planets and 2 dwarf planets. Only Kerbin and Laythe have an oxygen atmosphere and only Kerbin hosts life. With the outermost dwarf planet Eeloo it reaches up to 113 549 713 200 m (about 113.5 Gm or 0.76 AU) out into space.

Is it easier to land on Minmus or the Mun? ›

Minmus is significantly smaller than The Mun, which means: Landing on, and achieving orbit from Minmus is significantly easier due to lower gravity, requiring much less fuel.

What is the command to check biome? ›

The Command Is Now "/locate biome {name}". Displays the coordinates for the closest biome of a given biome ID or a biome tag in the chat for the player who executed the command.

How do you test your biome? ›

Gut microbiome tests can tell you what types of bacteria, archaea, viruses, and fungi are in your gut and how they might be affecting your health. In most cases, you can do the test from the comfort of your home by simply collecting a stool sample and sending it to a specialized lab.

How to scan planets in KSP? ›

Usage. Once the scanner is in a polar orbit between specific altitudes (see below), it must be opened (Deploy Scanner), and then the scan can be performed (Perform orbital survey). Rather than taking half a sidereal day, which would be more realistic, a scan of the entire body is completed instantly.

How do I open the KSP debug menu? ›

Debug Mode

Press ALT+F12 to access the debug console, which you can use to enjoy unlimited fuel, unbreakable joints, and other helpful perks.
