The Khurakan System

Description
The Khurakan System is a beautiful place, but full of dangers. Chose one of 4 different spawns, each with different difficulty, but also different opportunities. This is a scenario with recommended settings, but you can save it and use with different setup of your choice.


Khurakan is one of the two stars in the system. It is a red dwarf and constitutes 95% of the mass of the system. Khurakan is the center of the system, while other planets and secondary star orbits around it. It emits relatively little light, but its large solar flares causes a lot of disruption and magnetic storms in some parts of the system.


This closest planet to the Khurakan is covered with a lot of hot magma, so be careful where you step! The atmosphere is heavy and full of sulfur, so no breathing without the space suit.


First and smallest moon of Erebus with a distinct red hue. Its outer layers have a lot of iron and manganese that causes the ice on its surface to glow with bright red vapors. Despite it's close proximity to the Khurakan, Corum is generally very cold most of the time. There are also very little winds which remains an unexplored scientific mystery. The atmosphere has a lot of oxygen, but also a lot of toxic fumes.


Ryke is the older brother of Corum and the second moon of Erebus. It is the hottest place in the system and the densest satellite with 1.9 g. Magma is very close to the surface, but mostly harmless. It is full of various precious resources. If you can overcome the difficult conditions, you can get rich here.


Jovan is a rocky desert planet. This is the first planet that has some forms of life. It is a habitat for spiders that expand through the universe. This is a hot planet with thin, breathable atmosphere. Jovan also has a ring, which is a potential source of resources.


The first moon of Jovan used to support life but now is a dusty barren. It has some ice lakes and a lot of asteroid craters.


Second moon of Jovan has quite an eccentric orbit. That is why Mora's cobalt core is subject to volatile expansions and contractions, that causes the surface to break open, creating deep canyons.


Aphus is the only gas giant in this system. It has large ring, that is a source of resources. Its enormous gravity will capture everything that gets too close, so be careful.


The first moon of Aphus has a lot of dried lakes covered with salt, deserts and mountains. Its temperature is nicely warm, but high concentration of sodium chloride causes rapid shortness of breath. Suit recommended.


The second moon of Aphus is a place filled with various life forms. Its landscape is similar to the good old Earth. The temperature is cozy most of the year and the atmosphere is breathable. Also has lots of small satellites orbiting around it, that can be mined.


Third moon has a rocky surface with large craters where it formed a thin layer of atmosphere due to the accumulation of gasses in the bottom of these regions. During the night it becomes a very dark and foggy place.


This is the largest particle of Aphus Ring, covered with craters. The latest collision happened here not so long time ago, creating a huge crater, floating debris and a small nebula in the vicinity.


Second biggest particle is a bizarre place. Not only it has no hydrostatic equilibrium, but also its surface gravity is highly affected by Aphus. This is a very difficult terrain to navigate, but maybe it is worth the risk.


New Lagune, often called "Blue Lagune" is an asteroid cluster. It has distinct blue color, due to specific density of the particles, and gases floating around. This cluster of asteroids has been trapped in Lagrange Point of both stars. It's full of asteroids, that most of them are rich in resources. The friction between particles caused by gravity, builds up an electrostatic charge, that causes a lot of storms.


This cluster is the farthest place from the center of the system. While also being trapped in Lagrange, it is rich in resources, mainly extracted by Space Pirates. There are rumors, that a giant uranite asteroid can be found here!


You can remove Weaponcore and Aryx, if you aren't planning to use the Lost Hope respawn. Check out the discussion for mod recommendations.

Are you sure it's Erebus? According to the description on the planet's workshop page, there shouldn't be any gold there...

But it could be that the ore is very deep, 100 meters or deeper. I noticed back in vanilla that the range of the ore detector isn't always reliable; sometimes it shows the ore 10–30 meters out of range, or it doesn't react until it's only a meter away, and then works as intended again with the next ore.

I'm not finding any ores on the underneath the surface of Erebus? I tried a clean load of this world, so no extra mods, too. Even the ice lakes aren't giving me an 'Ice' signal, no matter the ore detector/drill. Hopped around in spectator mode and found an exposed patch of gold near the Void monster thing, teleported my character in with drill in hand, and still couldn't see the 'Gold" signal. I CAN, for whatever reason, see surface nodes and meteorite impact mineral signals, though. Is this by design?

That's cozy :)

From experience, I can say that if you stay in the starting area, the voids will keep coming back, but only irregularly.

I have three other NPC mods installed: two for space, one for planet, and I also have the spiders, so that's four NPCs.

Only VOID NPC required Aryx and Weaponcore. You can remove them off you want, but this NPC will be less dangerous.

I chose AWE, because it is very popular mood, that also includes laser weapons, that I needed in this case.

Add far I remember VOID only spawns once in the beginning, so it doesn't matter that much.

I'd like to know which changes to the MES settings I'm absolutely not allowed to make. I wanted to add other NPCs that use mod weapons, but if I set the setting to "true," it might also result in the Void getting different weapons.
Captain Harlock 8 Apr @ 6:04am 
Okay, the question of which grids (NPCs) require Aryx weapons is now resolved. I realized it when I saw the Void NPCs... But couldn't you assign them other weapons with MES?

For performance reasons, I have to adjust/check the spawn rate, cleanup rate, and weapon release. I've had bad experiences with other NPCs in this regard.
Captain Harlock 7 Apr @ 1:42pm 
Hi, I find your mod really interesting, but before I use it, I have a few questions:
1. Which grids require the Aryx weapon mod?
I would like to swap the Aryx for another weapon mod.
2. Is it really impossible to play Lost Hope without Aryx?
3. Which mods are incompatible or not recommended?

I just had to delete this request twice because of spelling mistakes... my English isn't that good...

This is an awesome system but very difficult to determine where the planets are. I think I'm heading towards something lol. Added mods and spawned in in my underwear then popped in my ramshackle of a ship from the learning scenario I just finished. Hard to jump even using a ton of solar panels, sucks the power out of my batteries...oh well.

Yeah, also if you have SEWorldGen, then Cealeno features quite dense asteroid field around.
