VERYBASICSOLARSYSTEM (VBSS) BY ZENITHSPEED
A simplified replica of our own solar system. Includes all main planets, most of their major moons, as well as Pluto because it's still a planet in our hearts.
I mainly made this for the people who wanted to have an experience similar to the real-world system, but don't have a device that can run, for example, HyperPatch's much better replica - that said, no true plagiarism intended - only inspiration. This also comes with a downside that there is much less realism, but hey, sacrifices had to be made.
Planetary body scales and orbits are roughly equal to IRL, however i had to convert radians (the displayed numbers) into degrees, this means that inclinations, arguments of periapsis, true anomalies, and other things, are not completely accurate. Eccentricities, celestial body radii and SMA's are somewhat accurate, however. I used Wikipedia as a main source (as always) so chances are it will have some inaccuracies.
Related filenames are marked as "VBSS" and then the respective body name (e.g. VBSSEarth)
CHANGELOGS:
1.0.1: Decreased quality of most celestial bodies to performance issues, also changes of differing magnitude to Earth, Moon, Io, Iapetus, Titan, Titania, and some others
1.0.1.1: Added Mars spawnpoint and revamped appearance, closely taken from how it looks on the surface IRL
1.1: Updated system with update 0.9.923+ features, replaced old Sun variant with new one (the resulting rendering errors on celestial bodies should only be a cosmetic issue, don't worry about them), revamped Titan (new color, mountains, atmosphere), Io, Europa (credits to StarDominator for helping!), Mimas, Deimos, Pluto (now in true color!), major changes to Venus (better atmosphere and surface), Earth (revamped US Base and some recolors, Moon (new colors + launch location moved to Apollo 11 coordinates, even if not accurate), Mars; gas giants no longer have terrain and are fully flat, gas giant moons are now aligned with parent axial tilt, removed launch spots on Mars and Pluto due to the recover craft feature (this may return though), and many other changes

accidentally forgot to put in the description that Enceladus got a complete revamp too... oh well, enjoy
@Zenithspeed thanks, that worked (i'm writing this while the assets are getting loaded)
@PZLAgencies ok lemme tell you
1. download VBSS 1.1
2. load the savefile that has VBSS 1.0.1.1
3. open planet studio
4. tap "load system"
5. find VBSS 1.1
6. tap the ••• icon at top right
7. tap "set as current system"
@PZLAgencies idk man, i didn’t have any problems with it
@XRS2200 but my system version is the older version 1.0.11 can’t update
@PZLAgencies 1.3.116c is the most recent update, and this system doesn’t have an update
@XRS2200 1.3.116c also I need to update this system, not Juno system
@PZLAgencies go to app store and update juno. What version of the game are you on now
@XRS2200 no ipad
@PZLAgencies laptop?
@XRS2200 ippop
@PZLAgencies what device r u on?
@Zenithspeed nah, ur amazing!
how do you update from old version to current version because idk how to and i need current version.
@XRS2200 been doing this kinda stuff for three years and i still suck
@Zenithspeed ah ok lol. I’m trash at planet-making so i couldn’t make my own, but i’m glad u could!
@XRS2200 this was made on a similarly potato-tier ipad :D
i did recently get a new and much more powerful one after 6 years of having that one though
FINALLY A SYSTEM THAT DOESN’T CRASH WHENEVER I LAUNCH! This makes my ipad feel slightly less potato-y. I’ve been scouring this site for an RSS scale real planets system, but they’re all for PC and crash all the time. This is actually so good. Take my upvote :)
@Zenithspeed alright but im just showing you something.
@PZLAerospacesAgency why are you threatening me? i don't really care, they can do what they want with their system because it's their system, while mine is my system
You have a competitor.
@joemam i might be able to get the update out this summer if i have enough time, but i can't gurantee (next closest time to that is winter break)
when next update 🥺
Currently the first solar system that genuinely has earth’s terrain that i have found
@LunaMelodies i know of that, i accidentally discovered it and decided to keep it cause it kind of looks like clouds, i'll remove it on the next version though
