what to do after landing on a planet

[LoyalOrange503]

like the title says, you land, and eh.... plant a flag... thats it. i just found a new game called ''astronneer'' whitch will launch early 2016, ksp needs this in the game!!

Get CKAN and goto Kerbal stuff / KSP Mods an make a colonization of a planet.
CKAN is a utility that will auto install and update mods an tell you whats compatible.

Good mods to get -

Ferram Aero Space
Tarsier Science
Magic Oribital Science
Tweak scale
Umbrella Space Industries (USI)

Several others.

Any chance you mean Ferram Aerospace Research (FAR)?

Plant a flag, drive around in a rover or grasshopper (RCS-driven vehicle for low gravity enviroments), crash horribly, try to make it back to my lander and go home

Well, planets have multriple Biomes so, if you are near another biome,
either travel to foot to the other Biome/s, or use a rover (if you thought about brining one with you ;) )

You may also think about visiting anomalies on teh surface of the planet (for example the Armstrong memorial on Mun)

that was actually one of my best ksp moments. as I only had a rough idea of where it should be and traveled about 200km through very tough terrain in a particulary big rover by using the coordinates from the wiki. The rover included a return stage and the entire trip granted me a huge amount of science. It was one of the most complex vehicles and mission that I ever did, but I can definitely recommend that :)

Advertising a game on another game's forum?

Tsk tsk tsk.

Blindly copying every similar game out there is a loosing strategy. KSP has thus far survived by being almost completely unique. Don't kill the game.

Didn't even watch it.

Now I did. Still nothing. Someone has watched The Martian too many times (still, time well spent), judging by their obsession with dust storms in what may be too thin an atmosphere. This is KSP with voxel manipulation, KIS, KAS, MKS and EPL (and maybe cloud mods). And if I want voxels, I can peruse Space Engineers.

I for my part would say: We´ll see

It looks interesting, but there are a few basebuilding games in space out there (actually KSP itself also has a few mods (like USI Colonization) that allow you to build colonies on other planets).

So, for me it is more dependant on the question, what feature the game will contain.

For example, if the gravity and atmosphere pressure on different planets will have an effect (on your ability to build, move and/or survive) ... if there are different ores and so on ;)

We'll see if Space Engineers gets that this Thursday. Between SE and Emperyon, I don't think there's a market left.

Looks like KSC openned a new frontier in game style...sadly KSC is an indie game and it will be hard for the devs to keep pace with the big companies...

[Prophet_01]

KSP is a whole different genre. It's halfway between simulation and game. Space engineers is not. It's a very advanced minecraft in space with voxels and moving grids. It's physics are rly messed up

They don't need to. They are already in a stable orbit.

Meanwhile we'll be riding a donut down to the surface of Mars.
