    They've had nearly a year to produce something meaningful

    So we're just gonna ignore the bug fixes, dev chats, re-entry effects, new parts, science, etc?

    Stuff that's worked on and not yet in the builds we have access to?

    Don't get me wrong, this game is hateable, but please do it right.

    I can't really think of a good way to phrase it, so...

    Something something soft-body dynamics? Could that potentially work? I mean, it's a discipline that specifically deals with deformable objects and there are games that use it to plausibly simulate local damages and flexing (Strangely they're all vehicle simulations/racing games)...

    Yes, I do not have any expertise. So this doubles as an opportunity for me to ask why such an approach is infeasible should that be the case.

    Try as hard as one might, KSP2 will never be its own separate thing from KSP1.

    This isn't about the game's name or gameplay though. This is inherently about how the game is coded. So it's kinda ironic that given KSP 2 has bugs KSP 1 doesn't, they are in fact not the same.

    Look, all I'm saying is that just because KSP 1 never had a performance problem after a bug fix (which I'm uncertain of in the first place) doesn't at all imply that this couldn't be the case for KSP 2.

    I don't remember this happening in KSP1.

    Well, it does happen right now, in a product that isn't KSP1. Aside from the nature of the game as a space sim I don't see how "but it didn't happen in this other game" could be relevant here.

    What do the models say about the 10kya ocean level raise by 100 m? Why no trace of hurricanes and tsunamies?

    Okay, so our estimates of sea levels, temperatures and atmospheric composition 10,000 years ago were wrong. I'll grant you that. That does not undo what we see today.

    So why do you bring this up instead of watching the news?

    The estimation of the far past condition is extrapolation by 100 000 years, when your empiric data are just from 100 year long range.

    This means almost random set of values.

    This is not relevant to the Exxon study you were responding to.

    Before you build a model, you should collect raw data.

    After building the model, you can extrapolate.

    And while building the model, you are intrapolating, the extrapolation is much less accurate, unless you have a straight line.

    That is to say, a scientific experiment or observation is either model-creating or model-fitting. Either we use our data to create a new model or we use it to corroborate an existing one.

    As far as climate change is concerned (as well as our activities being the primary driving factor), we typically find the latter. Anthropogenic climate change is the scientific consensus, as are the consequences we face for not doing enough to stop it.

    If even Exxon's paid scientists cannot find a way around this conclusion, believing it to be absurd is frankly ludicrous.

    What have you been playing recently? (Other than KSP)

    I recently played Mirror's Edge. The original game. Not the sequel.
    Actually I streamed my very first playthrough of it and I was very lucky that a (former?) speedrunner of the game occassionally helped me a bit. I was a bit... just a bit stupid at times, but I got through the game okay.

    Unfortunately it's really not that long - I took around 5 hours. But it's a very lovely experience even almost 15 years later. The graphics are still absolutely stunning and beautiful and I've fallen in love with the soundtrack.
