I'm not sure why "2 billion years in the future" and "4k planets" go together but there are a number of visual mods already which might be useful to look at.
<kspx>
when I get through the atmosphere and try to decouple for the next stage, it works, but when I fire the engine doesn't work
<Pinkbeast>
I recommend posting to that forum. Include the craft file.

The KSP developers are extremely unlikely to read email about individual staging problems... oh
<Althego>
also kso1 is barely maintained
<SporkWitch>
did you put the engine on the same stage as the decoupler? turning the engine on is a separate action, doesn't magically turn it on just because the decoupler below it was activated
<Pinkbeast>
They'd save themself a lot of work by setting the mod 6 billion years in the future (since Kerbol will probably be a red giant and everyone will be dead)
<SporkWitch>
already a mod for that, think it's called "after kerbin" or something. Sun enters red giant phase, Kerbin ends up looking like Duna, kerbals terraform a Duna that's become tidally locked with the sun and move the KSC there.
<Izaya>
always wanted to launch from duna
<Althego>
there is a mod for that
<Althego>
if i remember you could choose eve too

And RO has a "launch from Venus" feature activated by immediately turning off your computer
