How many biomes are in KSP?

Kerbin's biomes show a loose correlation with Earth's biomes and geographic features. Uniquely, Kerbin has 33 location biomes at KSC, these are comprised of each building and their props, the crawlerway, the flag, and KSC itself; these give a jumpstart to gathering Science points in Career mode.

What is the hardest planet to return from in KSP?

Moho is the closest planet to Kerbol, making it the first out of the current seven planets. You should not attempt this mission if you haven't done a mission returning from Gilly, Laythe, Tylo, Vall, Eeloo, or Eve, as Moho is the hardest planet to return from, except maybe Eve, Eeloo, Laythe, or a Jool Landing .

What is the hardest body to land on in KSP?

Tylo, a rocky moon , has gravity similar to Kerbin and terrain similar to Kerbin's Mun. It has the largest SOI of Jool's moons, making it easy to encounter, but achieving orbit and landing are exceptionally difficult due to its large gravity well and lack of atmosphere.

List of places and biomes in KSP (planetary geology & geography)

I pulled the exact values for space/flying altitude thresholds directly from the game, as well as the science data multipliers for each planet/situation. There are a few updates that can be made here, and several that I can fix on the wiki. It also needs to have additional columns for the difference between multipliers for flying low vs high and in space low vs high.
