Crush Depths


Recommended Posts

Since I'm playing with part pressure limits on, I'd like to know what the limits are to my submarine aspirations.

1) Do all parts have the same crush depth, or can some go deeper than others?

2) Does Crush depth vary from planet to planet?  (Assuming the same water composition, Crush depth should be deeper on Laythe than on Kerbin, due to the lower surface gravity. Crush depth should be higher on Eve IF the seas are made of something with the same density as Kerbin and Laythe's oceans)

3) Can anyone provide a map of the seas of Kerbin, Laythe, and Eve that have an accessible sea floor to craft with part pressure limits on? 

4) Is there any resource that can show the parts of the seas that are shallower than X meters? It would really help with some mission I'd like to pull off.

I'm not sure about crush depths since I don't play with pressure limits on, but for maps of ocean depth you can use the SCANsat mod to create an altitude map including ocean depth using a satellite.

So I don't have that mod, but from the wiki, they have a colorized heightmap, which I have circled candidate spots:

Don't know how deep those spots are. I wonder if they are above Crush depth.

On another note, I am now playing 6.25x, with 0.35x modifier to heigh (thus 2.1875x modifier to heights and depths), so I'm looking for depths of 140-180 meters (depending on if crush depth is 300 or 400 meters, I must test).

Plus, you know, making such a long/tall vessel is also a pain, so something shallow but still out of sight of land is what I'm looking for
