@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)
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
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 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???
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)
@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
@Aludra877 hmm
there's no real "fix-all" solution for orbit validator issues, but the first thing i tend to do is reduce SOI sizes of many celestial bodies (especially those that orbit close to one another), so that the chance of the SOI's clipping (and thus the validator freaking out) is reduced; another thing is to ensure that there are no orbits that "clip" eachother (high-eccentricity stuff like comets, alongside binary planets with an identical orbit, are the most likely to be these) since that also gives the validator a stroke
aside from those tips i can't really help all that much, really just mess around a bit until it works
@deepfriedfrenchtoast agreed, i haven't seen anything from SFS2 yet but based on what i've heard it's definitely oriented towards the more casual side of the spaceflight sim demographic (which is a good thing overall), overall i'd say each of the three "franchises" — seeing as both have 2 games each — are each suited towards slightly different niches within spaceflight sims (personally, though, Juno has just the right balance for me, since it allows for realism but i can also just use it to mess around in for pure fun)
welp, i had so much fun with the drift car that i'm making a whole series of simple cars with various gimmicks and stuff
right now there's also an 8x8 with a basic suspension and a long boi that rotates/twists its entire body to turn, i'm also planning on a really OP one that has some, errrr,mild F-Zero inspirations
i don't have the most experience with either, but from what i have seen, XML alone carries a lot of the weight, it's possible to do a lot of crazy stuff with it but there will be a point where stuff is hard-coded into the game, otherwise you can modify things quite freely for the most part
as for dev console, it seems to handle the execution of tasks (i.e. some player inputs like spawning/removing crafts) or at least visualizes them, but you can input your own commands too (i myself literally only use it to access planet studio)
of course, the more you change it, the easier it is to straight up break the game, sometimes irrepairably, so i advise you make backups before doing anything crazy (this of course depends on how "deep" you wanna go)
and, again, i'm not an expert on this and this information comes purely from my limited experience and may be incorrect
@PZLAgencies 1. cycling, for a week, so yeah RIP my legs 2. iirc it's 10th gen (i wanted 11' screen with 512GB but my dad got me 13' screen with 1TB one... yeah it's too big for what i need but oh well i can't do anything about it now)
if you're only interested in the size, try to look up the statistics of the engine (what you'll be needing is "dimensions", these are things like the length, diameter, and weight — if possible, look up official papers on it, but plain old Wikipedia might work too), try to match those values inside the game by resizing the engine (note that you may need to use the hidden properties editor to change it more precisely), in one of the panels to the right the game will display your craft's dimensions in metres (height, length, width, + more), and make sure you make your control unit a very small command disc that you can then move inside the engine so that it doesn't add on any extra meters, after you're done with matching the size (note that the performance will likely not match, it is much more difficult to change that for jet engines unfortunately) you can save the engine as a subassembly or something (if you're planning on using it on a plane)
@Tallisar yep, those are pretty much the same suggestions i have

@Tallisar i haven't done sh** lol

@VectronTechnologies ah i see... that also means low mass and increased explosion power, so...

@PZLAgencies yeah the whole surface is insanely bumpy, there's like zero flat ground on it
10 months ago@MatTheAerospacer oh, i guess no unique song title then
11 months ago@SmileyfaceAirplanesYT i assume it's for carrying droods through an atmosphere, but idk since i barely play career mode

one year ago@Tallisar there are already two characters with those exact names, they appear a bit later on
one year ago(i can't tell if you're being ironic or not lol)
JUNO UPDATE
YIPPIE
also, to anyone who wants to see Oord directly, here you go
one year agogas giants prove that blue&white is one of the best color combos

1.1 years ago@ExplorationAerospace oof, yeah, i forgot mobile has a lite version now
1.2 years ago@ExplorationAerospace the menu button is in a slightly different place now, but yes
1.2 years agowelp, i had so much fun with the drift car that i'm making a whole series of simple cars with various gimmicks and stuff
1.2 years agoright now there's also an 8x8 with a basic suspension and a long boi that rotates/twists its entire body to turn, i'm also planning on a really OP one that has some, errrr,mild F-Zero inspirations
nah, that mug is too based for that
1.3 years agoand besides, i also drink it (at dinner), at all times of the year
@Isosceles51 ooh yes
1.3 years ago@Isosceles51 yea, a few basic cars and trucks (including airport vehicles), more than one ship, and a few basic airplanes and rockets
1.3 years ago@VectorY yeah, it's a good idea to backup if you're doing stuff with XML
1.3 years agoidk if dev console can do anything as drastic as XML editing can
i don't have the most experience with either, but from what i have seen, XML alone carries a lot of the weight, it's possible to do a lot of crazy stuff with it but there will be a point where stuff is hard-coded into the game, otherwise you can modify things quite freely for the most part

and, again, i'm not an expert on this and this information comes purely from my limited experience and may be incorrect
most notable are the actual RSS planets, for some reason all of their stats are at 0 when displayed on the website
1.3 years ago@PZLAgencies idk myself at this point lol
1.3 years agoalso oof
@PZLAgencies also, 10th gen ipad air
1.3 years ago@PZLAgencies 1. cycling, for a week, so yeah RIP my legs 2. iirc it's 10th gen (i wanted 11' screen with 512GB but my dad got me 13' screen with 1TB one... yeah it's too big for what i need but oh well i can't do anything about it now)
1.3 years ago@CloakPin unfortunately i did not
1.3 years ago@PZLAgencies i know what to look for, problem is that it doesn't show up

1.3 years agoooo this one's good
1.4 years ago@Vee ok but wdym by "preach"
1.4 years ago1. this isn't the church
2. i'm an atheist anyways
@Vee ???
1.4 years agostill the best celestial body in the stock system
1.4 years agoi unfortunately haven't found that either
1.4 years agoi know the folder we're looking for is called CelestialDatabase but it does not appear for me
@ChaseyWasey oh lol
1.4 years ago@ChaseyWasey what's that
