@s89Aerospace these were made pretty early on in developement, when there were a lot more new things to show, as the game heads towards 1.0 its a lot more about internal stuff and polishing the game rather than lots of shiny new things to show so i doubt it they will do something like that on a regular basis again.
Technically you can do that, if you use a vizzy raymarcher like this one from the view of the satellite (position can be obtained through vizzy and the calculations work regardless of craft position).
@ChaoticGraviton i actually kind of like it, and it actually works properly now, previously it would constantly break the scene and i'd have to go to the menu and back to fix it.
You can use the comparison blocks to see if for example one number is bigger than the other, if it is the case it will execute all of the blocks inside of the if block.
@Leah depending on the craft thats running either cpu or gpu, mobile gpus arent known for their amazing performance and rendering the planet terrain is very gpu intensive, especially for custom systems like SS.
I'd say it depends, sometimes i want to make replicas that are as close to the real thing as possible in terms of functionality, i play in Hyperpatch's SS with the REO mod but sometimes i just wanna enjoy the stock experience with its unique features. And this is the great thing about it, that you have the choice to quickly switch between vastly different play styles with a couple clicks.
These are the questions that vizzy enthusiast have asked themselves since the beginnings of time. Fr though there are many ways to go about it and none of the answers fit inside of a small comment, but if you want to learn about it and/or need some help on the topic i'd suggest going to the SRC discord, theres a dedicated channel just for vizzy conversations.
Good points, some small thing to help with streamlining would also be the ability to delete blocks of code while dragging them by hitting the delete key, always having to drag it to the top right of the screen can be quite tedious, plus if there is another part of code directly under it and you miss the delete button theres a chance you could insert parts of code accidentally.
@HorizonsTechnologies this suggestion is almost 3 years old now so i dont expect anything to change but i still think ion engines make no sense how they are from a gameplay standpoint, if you wanna argue about realism, there are plenty of other things to talk about so it doesnt seem too unreasonable to make ion engines worth using. Not to directly compare the two games but ksps ion engines are orders of magnitude better in terms of energy input to thrust output and a lot of people still find them too weak to be bothered using them and with carrer mode aproaching on the horizon i think it would makes sense to have a reason to unlock them in a playthrough other than if you wanna torture yourself for an hour making dozens of small burns for minimal to no gain over small chemical rockets.
Try avoiding direct impacts with the ground, a way to do this is to use makeshift launch clamps with side interstages and struts. If you put enough of them on it will act kind of like springs feathering the rocket.
You would need to make a mod to do this, the files arent openly available/changeable. And anyways the part has a sound volume slider, i think its even set to 0% by default.
@Tweedle_Aerospace bro, whats you're point? I could've posted it half a year ago but i never got around to finishing the extra features i wanted to implement. The video is meant to show the fact that it works, and not be a trailer for the craft itself being posted.
@Tweedle_Aerospace again, no. A craft file is just a small piece of text telling the game how represent a craft in game, a mod file is a package that add new code or even prefabs to the game, it can alter core funtions of a game and add entirely new content to it which a simple text file cannot. The problem that apple has, is that they dont want third party executable code that they cant check themselves runking on their devices and i dont think that will change, as its a fundamental part of their tos.
@Tweedle_Aerospace no, its a fundamental issue with android, unity and the way the game is made. This is outside of the control of the developers and its unlikely something is gonna be done about it anytime soon.
@Shemes213 its a fractal, a theoretical structure that has a finite surface area but an infinitely large circumference with repeating patterns and seemingly endless spirals. This is an awesome video explaining a bit better.
@Natedoge Well, yes. To a certain degree i can render any position at any zoom, the individual renders take a long time though and im limited by the resolution and accuracy (amount of iterations per pixel) as it would literally take hours to render a single pic. If you zoom in too far (about at 1quadrillion) you run into floating point imprecision and it starts to break but thats usually not an issue.
@Chtite451SR2 the problem with tidal lock is, that its not an existing feature, you have to manually set the rotation value of the moon to the orbital period, which will never truely line up perfectly.
Interesting, i counted 66k in april
