Tired of getting all the way out to Duna to only have a single biome to explore? Custom Biomes adds biomes to all the celestial bodies in the game that were previously missing them. This allows you to have a more varied Science experience outside the local Kerbin system. Version 1. 2 offers the ability to specify a default biome set to load per save, or disable the plugin for a specific save, and load different biome sets while in game. For more details, check out the forum thread. This mod requires Toolbar (1. 4. 2 included).
