Newgame space program Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Laythe is not actually close enough to Jool to be like Kerbin, in reality it would be more like Hoth (habitable but barely) so I wonder if the Ksp 2 team are gonna fix this by bringing Laythe closer to Jool so it's actually like a second Kerbin.

Basesixty Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Nope. They stated that they won’t be changing/modifying the kerbolar system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pthigrivi Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Are you talking about tidal heating like the big Jovian moons experience? Edit, did a quick math: In theory you could get liquid surface oceans between Io and Europa, or mean orbits between 420,000km and 670,000km. Based on KSP's 1/10th scale universe Laythe is probably too close at 27,000km, but I think we can imagine a different internal composition is keeping it from boiling away its oceans.

The Aziz Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Tidal heating, internal heating, greenhouse effect... I mean Laythe is still quite cold, with temperatures mostly below 0⁰C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving it closer wouldn't really help that much, what you are really looking for is inclination. 52 minutes ago, Newgame space program said: They made But they made Minmus into ceramic That's more of a lore thing than an actual gameplay element Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
