Kerbal Star Systems 2 is the successor to Galaxies Unbound and builds greatly upon the work in Galaxies Unbound. KSS2 takes KSP to yet another new level by bringing you a stunning interpretation of the stellar neighbourhood near Kerbol.

- Download KSS2_Core. Unzip the file and copy the KSS2 directory into your GameData directory
- Download the desired KSS2 system. Unzip the file and also copy the KSS2 directory into your GameData directory.
- Volumetric EVE is natively supported by KSS2. Legacy EVE is not currently supported, but will be soon.
- The
KSS2-folder should look like this.
- Kopernicus: Download and install Kopernicus (Known to work against release 197).
- [NEW EVE Volumetrics]: For the new volumetric clouds, aurorae, geysers, etc. This is the Blackrack EVE and is currently not a free download. Not required but without it, the experience is greatly reduced
- If you choose to not purchase the Volumetric EVE, then the two below downloads will give a reduced - though better than nothing experience
- Environmental Visual Enhancements Redux: For those that are unable to purchase the new EVE Volumetrics. Many of the more immersive features will not be available. SUPPORT COMING SOON.
- Scatterer: Atmospheric shaders for those that are unable to purchase the new EVE Volumetrics.
- Parallax2: For the interesting ground scatter. Note: Parallax 1 is not supported
- NiftyNebulae: For dust rings, nebulae, etc.
- Advise that you do not change any default settings unless you know what you are doing
- GravityFix = True/False : Lowers Black holes', neutron stars' gravity. (will come in handy later)
- GroundScatterDistance = x : Choose between 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 10 - 12 (groundscatters rendered over x distance in km)
- RemoveLenseDirt = True/False : Removes lense dirt from all stars.
- SunAsteroidBelts = True/False : Use this to add asteroidbelts around the Sun.
- ExtraSolarAsteroids = True/False : Use this to add asteroidbelts around other stars.
- Scale = x : Rescale * 1 - 2.5 - 10 (!needs SigmaDimensions) Note: This has not been tested and feedback would be appreciated.

- KSS2 has a custom contract system for Career Mode players. Contract Configurator will need to be installed and you will need minimum v2.1.3. There are early and mid game contracts to help you staff up for the push to Interstellar and the main contracts will start to drop once you have fully upgraded the KSC.
- You need Texture quality at its highest setting. Otherwise a few worlds may spawn as black orbs.

The KSP 1.12 maneuver planner tool will cause issues. It can cause stutter and freezes on scene load, when changing SOI, when timewarping far from Kerbol or when editing maneuver nodes, especially with Kopernicus modified systems. To solve this, you better disable it. KSS2 provides a patch when Community Fixes are installed to make sure this happens.
Neither Home Switch nor Galaxy mode are supported in KSS2 at this time.
