Planet Creator Free

[Cristoforo Kanoy]

NathanPyle fills the pages of his new book Strange Planet with big eyed, bright blue aliens from a planet that shares a lot in common with Earth. These aliens sunbathe, sneeze and even wish each other sweet dreams like us, but they describe these practices with deadpan technical terminology like "sun damage" and "face fluid explosions." The lifegiver aliens even implore their offspring to "imagine pleasant nonsense" as they tuck them in for the night.

I love to imagine a planet where they are about as technologically advanced as we are but they are more emotionally advanced. I think the best way to display that kind of world is to show the beings with a full range of emotion!

I want to celebrate humanity! I think that so much of what we are doing here is meaningful and absurd simultaneously. We have created thousands of different ways just to amuse each other and ourselves and communicate that we care about our friends.

For the longest time I wanted to make something that would ease the creation of planets, and give back to the KSP community in some way. This is not a mod in the traditional sense, but it DOES work with making config files for an existing mod. Anyway...I could not realize this dream for the longest time. I had an idea, but no way to realize it.

I used Claude in developing this because their new 3.5 model is quite frankly amazing. So I give you, Kopernicus Planet Creator, written in Python. I got rid of all the bugs I could find with Claude's help, but right now I need testers. Here is the code so far.

So, in a hypothetical sense if you wanted to do something like, make a patch to make a JNSQ compatibility patch (2.5x rescale to a specific body), you could do that with this? It's a really interesting (and useful sounding tool).

We pray for our family; we pray for our friends; we pray for our leaders; we even pray for our enemies. We pray for the success of our neighbors; we pray for their comfort; we pray for their health; we pray for their growth. But are there neighbors we leave out of our prayers? Do we ever pray for our non-human neighbors God has created and filled the earth with? I invite you join me in praying this litany from the Episcopal Church, which can serve as a guide into prayer for the well-being of all of our neighbors, non-human and human, inanimate and animate. It broadens my prayers and hope it does the same for you.

This planet is a magnificent creation, both as a foundational structure and as a habitat for all the creatures that live within its sphere. As I pray through this litany I am reminded of the planet's many nooks and crannies and the multitude upon multitude of creatures that inhabit those nooks and crannies. I name them, lift them to their creator, let my heart think of them with gratitude and amazement, and ask God's mercy to be upon them.

As I pray and am reminded of the diversity this planet supports, I am reminded of the Creator who sustains all of that diversity. With the same power and love that God sustains my life every day, he sustains every other member of this beloved planet. Motivated by the love I have (and strive to have) toward all the Creator has made, I pray for his mercy to fall with power upon us all.

I pray not only for each of these parts as separate entities, but also remember, celebrate and pray for the interconnectedness of all these part of creation. I pray for God's mercy on those connections and dependencies. Throughout this litany, I picture the things I am praying for, and lift them up to the one who created and loves them. I rejoice and am grateful for the kinship all members of this creation share and thank our Creator for including me in this wonderful world.

I recognize the huge gaps in my knowledge and the huge gaps in humankind's knowledge of this planet. In humility I acknowledge that ignorance,

Creator, have mercy.

In light of all I do not know about this planet and the connections within it,

Creator, have mercy

In light of all the things I wrongly believe about this planet, I lift up this earth and its Creator and sustainer and pray,

Creator, have mercy

Ice Planet 2002 featured a distinctive colour palette: Virtually everything was bright blue, black, white or transparent neon orange. Would we see the same today, as we did back in 1994? I looked back to the past to see how the theme might utilise colour today. Indeed, the LEGO Colour palette has expanded considerably in that time. While a specific space theme might be difficult to follow, the Arctic subthemes of LEGO Town (2000) and LEGO City (2014, 2018) might offer us some clues.

In 2000, the solid colours in use were blue, black, white and bright orange. Transparent blue was the dominant shade used for the windows., Some other transparent colours used for lights and markers. Except for the green parkas, the minifigures were often black and blue, with the Arctic logo printed on the torso. The overall appearance of these arctic figures was similar to the Ice Planet Explorers.

The colour scheme evolved a little in 2014: predominantly orange with both light and dark bluish greys and white for trim. Windscreens were transparent blue. On the whole, while the theme was fit for purpose, the colour scheme did not bring the same sense of the dramatic as that of the original Ice Planet and Arctic sets.

Of course, there were a couple of sets in the 2018 City Arctic series that appeared a little more fantastical. You could probably put them on an alien planet, with a little bit of redesign and set them to work.

Some trans- neon orange windscreens were regularly used in Ice Planet, but the moulds have been well and truly retired. Perhaps some of the elements from NEXO Knights are still available: I will set out to use them as the mainstay of my windows. There is also a 6x6x2 windscreen in this colour, appearing in Monkie Kid sets: it might work well as a windscreen or using 2 back to back as a broad window in a base or space cruiser.

It recently arrived, and I have found myself with many trans neon elements that will be useful going forward. I will also work to liberate some of my other trans neon orange and dark blue elements from around the place. Time dismantle some of my Nexo Classic Space.

Both sets are reasonably economical to pick up: the sports car is priced at $9AUD at some of our big-box retailers, while the Creator 3in1 set is closer to $22. The bike has lots of wedge plate elements, while the sports car features lots of curved slopes, 12 tiles and grille tiles. Most appealing to me, however, is the rear spoiler element. Here is a preview of the elements in each:

The fire department of LEGO Town never had to deal with a flame element. In fact, no fireman appeared in a set with LEGO flame elements before the LEGO City promotional set 2005. That was only available in combination with a kids meal at LEGOLAND Windsor. The next appearance was not until 2008, but there seemed no shortage of flame after the Forest Fire subtheme of 2012!

Likewise, it was not until the appearance of Blacktron that we saw opposing teams in the world of LEGO Space. And except for the Space Police/ Blacktron sets, the Space themes never saw a cross over of figures in the regular sets. You could easily create your own conflict or cooperation, depending on the pending treaties of the day: M-Tron, Ice Planet, Spyrius, Unitron, Insectoids, UFO and Exploriens: none of these appeared in the same set as another faction.

I worked on this while I was still trying to work out the best colour palette that to follow, toying with light azure and bright orange, as well as the trans neon orange. I really like the dark blue landing skis featured here. Some dark blue windscreen elements used in NEXO Knights have been added as stabilisers. The fan has been replaced by a form of a jet engine to push this craft along. I view this as a land vehicle with the ability to take off and fly for short periods at the expense of additional energy consumption. A small Nexo Knights windscreen makes this vehicle suitable for surface work, but not necessarily extra atmospheric travel. Perhaps I will update this to my planned colour scheme as I progress.

I fully expect to dismantle these craft a dozen times in the next few months, as I set about building some additional models to capture the spirit of the theme. But for the time being, we have them started. Now, we have some pilots in the photos above, but are they the best folks for the job?

I am still looking for an ideal Minifigure: should they be heavily armoured? Helmeted? In full EVA suit? Some trans neon orange visors were found in Ninjago: I put an order in for some with the rest of my Bricks n Pieces.

I am happy with our helmet options, sourced primarily from the 2019 LEGO City Space sub-theme, but not quite sure how to proceed with the rest of the figures at this stage. Will I ultimately move towards a custom torso? Should it be blue? White? Azure? Orange? Or something else? Perhaps I can dream that there will be some Ice Planet tribute coming up in the Collectible minifigures? We have had plenty of Classic Space, Space Police, Blacktron and other space explorers over the years.
