@Kaeya appropriate reaction tbh
and by that point it'll likely push 200+ planets since there will be some updates before that (and also because i can actually handle SR2 properly now, since i have a new ipad tho idk if i've ever told y'all lol)
@lafario okay, i absolutely do not remember upvoting or even seeing something like that in the past few days, so it had to have been someone else
and besides, i'm already anti-Nazi in the first place, seeing as one of my favourite video games is pretty much about destroying futuristic Neonazis and using their own weapons against them
we can also rule out finger slips, something which does commonly happen to me, because upvoting a post requires two finger slips, in rapid succession, in specific areas of the screen (and besides, i would've immediately un-upvoted it after noticing)
@lafario i genuinely don't remember anything so i was like "huh??? what the hell did i do now?" and spent a whole day waiting for a response only for you to pull a "lEtS fOrGeT iT"
please explain what's going on because i'm far too confused now
@Tallisar yep, those are pretty much the same suggestions i have
(of course it doesn't have to come right now seeing as we already had a website update a few days ago, but it would be nice to have in the very near future)
@ImperiolTech you can do that by uploading things, if people give those an "upvote" (the blue button on the right) you will get a varying amount of points
seems like this mod and its dependancy needs to be downloaded (bit of a shame it's not a built-in thing like SP, i originally came from there too but now i pretty much only play SR2 since it's just that much better)
images don't work in comments, i know that for sure
and from what i remember, you need a minimum of 100 points (the number next to your username) to be able to even have images appear (you can still use everything else)
these are just very rough guesses, but the yellow outlined one you can get by fiddling with fractal domainwarps (to make them long) and a mask noise (to filter where the mountains will appear), the red outlined one could probably be achieved by some kinda billow noise thing
@XionmassResearchDevt @InherentUnstable a workaround i've found for the input issue is to set the part itself to the AG and the input to "FD.MachNumber>=0" which pretty much acts as an "always on" input, though this does not always work and may not be applicable in every situation, in which case you'll probably need to use vizzy or something
i won't participate because i suck at both building and flying things in this game, but i am curious as to how one is supposed to do this when all but one of the major options for propulsion are forbidden, said option being propellers, which of course don't work in vacuum, and therefore can't be used to complete the last part of raising your periapsis above the atmosphere-vacuum boundary
my best guess is to use explosions of fuel tanks, but idk how forceful those are and it also means needing to carry a whole load of extra weight with you
however, you did say "any method" and didn't rule out glitches (only full-on cheating with tinker panel and in-flight cheats) so those could also be a possibility
aye, same here, i'm gonna remove them from mine in 1.6 (Mortan) and 2.0.1 (ZG2)
i literally only started the "trend" because of my obsession with F-Zero, where in the later games each racing vehicle had its own unique logo, and i thought that was cool so i copied it over to planet making, and then you and maybe a few others also decided to do it after seeing me do it (which is fine, don't get me weong)
but honestly the logos are such a hassle to make, they ruin otherwise clean-looking descriptions in the PS load planet menu (on the site they do look good) and overall were just kinda "tacky" imo
@MatTheAerospacer do you know what the song is called in the XML files? i know that the other songs have specific names (which don't match the soundtrack's title or planet name) that you gotta type into a part of the planet's XML file
@StarDominatorIIVV i really hope they'll expand upon TT tbh, it has had "hiding the darkest secrets" in its description since it was added and yet it has no secrets (structures and stuff) whatsoever
you seem to be using the "Crew Compartment" part, which can only withstand a limited amount of pressure; its counterpart is the "Space Habitat", which can withstand outer space but carries much less people in it
i assume you're in career mode and haven't unlocked the latter yet, so if you wanna get Droods to orbit your best bet would be to just put them in command pods for now
@Coop1999 yoo thanks so much
i don't have Discord for... reasons (it's a long story) but whatever
let's see what i can yoink from this
"A battle between the space between the suns for no reason, logic, or home behind" between the suns? home behind? possible hint at interstellar update???
"Closed of the dreams, turning to starless terrain" can't say much, but "starless terrain" might imply a world with an atmosphere dense enough to block out the stars (this is a setting that can be toggled in planet studio; additionally, water does reflect stars if you have that setting enabled), so this may be a possible hint at Oord, a different new/to-be-added planet in the Juno system, or a planet in a potential new system
@ExplorationAerospace yeah i know "phallic" means that, smh
it's just that i don't like NSFW things because they're overrated and can be found everywhere so i prefer not talking about them
@PANICtitan1681 could be a possibility
it's also one letter away from "clash" which in turn is one letter away from "slash", based on the "scars" and the cut-up looking terrain that could also be a thing
@ExplorationAerospace that's just an artifact of the terrain generation (billow noise + domain warping), they definitely wouldn't step down to that level
@deepfriedfrenchtoast i've been wanting to play around with the angular velocity thing too, but problem is i have no idea how to do so (plus idk how to make them not fall to the ground if they suddenly were given physics like that)
still, it would be cool for, who knows... dyson spheres???
also
"I was tired of RSS textures making up most of the texture files, and it took a long while just to scroll down enough to get to the textures I wanted." real, same deal here
i don't know exactly how to do it, but there's two methods i know of:
for both of these you need to enable Show Advanced Properties under Additional Settings
1. change the Input using the arrows until you land on "AG 1" or "AG 10" (AG 2 to 9 are of course between them), these correspond to the activation groups, though i don't use these myself as the last time i checked they don't always seem to work
2. change the Input using the arrows until you land on "FD.MachNumber", then add ">=0" on the end of it ("FD.MachNumber>=0" — this essentially makes the input controller behave as an "always on" thing), after that all you need to do is assign the rotator to an AG and it should work (i myself use this method as 1. it works pretty much 99%+ of the time 2. it is compatible with crafts that have more activation groups than the default 10, and a lot of my creations are like that)
hope this helped :)
and TBA means "to be added"; related are TBD ("to be determined", sometimes "to be done") and TBC ("to be continued", also sometimes an abbreviation for tuberculosis in medical context)
@lafario select the heat shield, go to the same hidden properties menu, go to "Config" and search for "maxTemperature", increase that (keep in mind that the values displayed in both the tinker panel and the hidden properties editor are in Kelvin)
in the hidden properties editor (accessible from tinker panel) there is a property of rocket engines called "heatTransferOverride", increase the value of that to make it hotter
@Tallisar i also really want to make a wiki for my stuff, but i have no idea what to use
i've heard of this "Obsidian" software before, but i'm not sure if it's what i need or not; FANDOM would be a good choice, but, for both personal reasons and the fact that it's buggy as hell, i don't wanna use it
@Tallisar i mean right now Hypernova is basically the same deal, since i've gone ahead and decided to "rewrite" it (by that, i mean significantly change some aspects of part 1 and thus the backstory stuff, and also change parts 2-4 to reflect this, alongside general improvements), a lot of it is in my head too but at the same time i do have concept text for the first 2 parts in my notes app
