Have you ever said "I don't want to live on this planet anymore"? Now you can! We at Kerman & Kerman Orbit and Surface Structures are proud to present you the all new product line for Kerbals who want nothing more than to live on another planet!

This mod adds several new parts that are designed to be used in a planetery base for the Kerbals. This includes Habitats, Greenhouse, Laboratory, a Cupola derivative, Command-Center and others. It is designed to fit with the other stock parts and feel als "Kerbal" as possible.

Please use the Forum Thread for questions or to report any bugs!

Installation Instructions:

Since many have trouble installing this mod, here is a short description of the important steps and pitfalls:

Steps to install

Download the this mod (the file is named: Kerbal_Planetary_Base_Systems-X.X.X.zip)
Unzip the folder
In this folder (Kerbal_Planetary_Base_Systems-X.X.X) you find a folder named "GameData"
Copy the CONTENT of this GameData folder (namely the folder CommunityCategoryKit, CommunityResourcePack and PlanetaryBaseInc) into the GameData folder from your Kerbal Space Program installation. You can easily indentify you KSP installation directory, it contains the executable (e.g. KSP.exe for Windows).
If you already have these folders in your GameData diretory, remove them folder first. Do not overwrite, this can cause errors and duplicate or bugged parts.
Done!

Important!:

The folder structure should never look like this:

Kerbal Space Program/GameData/~~GameData~~/PlanetaryBaseInc or

Kerbal Space Program/GameData/PlanetaryBaseInc/~~PlanetaryBaseInc~~

Kerbal Space Program/~~PlanetaryBaseInc~~/

it MUST always be:

Kerbal Space Program/GameData/PlanetaryBaseInc

To be sure you have the right folder structure (it is strictly needed for this mod to work) compare yours with this:
