  • Scatterer + EVE Volumetrics
  • Singularity (for black holes)
  • TUFX (optional for post-processing)
  • KSP Community Fixes - patch stock bugs and maneuver planner issues

💡 Tips

  • Keep all visual mods updated through their official GitHub releases.
  • Avoid using multiple planet packs that modify the same star systems.
  • If using multiple large visual mods, increase your Texture Quality and memory allocation.
  • Report confirmed compatibility changes through the Discord Server.
