No, ten of those juicy characters

0/10, I have not seen you before.

Not much. From what I recall of psychohistory, it is similar to thermodynamics in that it relies on trillions of people/atoms to give accurate predictions, and a mere 7 billion people wouldn't be a big enough sample size.

Also, I've added some details about secondary production to the rule book. Next up is transportation of all kinds.

I'm beginning to feel that the G+ integration was simply added to drive anyone who's too resistant to change away. G+ ftw.

What kind of stuff could I include in it? I'm now planning on including a general overview of the type of game at the top of the rulebook. EDIT: Political map of the world so far.

Laythe would have more radiation and vulcanism than Io. This is because Laythe orbits at 271 relative Mm whilst Io orbits at 420.

Time to invest in lead spacesuits!

The forums won't let me give you any more reputation, but I love this post.

You've quoted the OP, and yet ignored it in your own post. Whether time is discrete or not doesn't change that our equipment is only sensitive to a certain degree. According to this, scientists are able to measure time to 500 zs. We also know that the lifespan of a W or Z boson is 0.3 ys. You'd have to ask someone more qualified than I how we know that, but it looks like a lower limit on how far we can currently measure time.

I made an artist's impression:

Press Alt + . and you can timewarp up to 4× no matter which situation you find yourself in.

That might also explain the EVA report. If Laythe's atmosphere is something like 5% kerbon dioxide, it could create a greenhouse effect, be toxic and have an acceptable level of oxygen all at once.

And yet something is keeping Laythe from freezing, since the surface temperature is high enough for ice to melt. Yeah, that's the problem with threads like this one. We can't tell whether Laythe is meant to be the temperature it is or whether it's just an artefact of an incomplete game

Laythe's temperature is over 4 Celsius (check the OP), so temperature isn't an issue. There,s no doubt that something is heating Laythe to temperatures at which liquid water can exist. The only question is what. I compiled it, using data extracted directly from the game files. I'll take another look tomorrow, I might have missed something when I copied the descriptions into paint?

Ah good, another revival. Zuni, we are working on creating an online civ-style game where people control Kerbal nations. There are two problems with this: There is no rulebook There are no kerbal nations Currently we're working on both. Thanks for helping with the second! When we get going, switch over to kerbalgreatgame.webs.com so we can avoid accidently breaking any rules about roleplaying. Also, how did you get such an awesome looking line on the map? It looks glorious. EDIT: I've begun to rectify the issue of not having a rulebook. If you have a google account, message me on the forums and I'll add you to the list of approved editors. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z-7y4_YGPCNZLm9sLV9QAQyAurFtkwZY0UsOSqZCjrs/edit?usp=sharing Anyone else can still leave comments on segments of the rules for an approved editor to come along and resolve.

Fuel lines was the big one for me, Asparagus staging blows every other type of rocket staging out of the water.

I googled it, and it's pretty sad. Turned out that it was just resistant to arsenic, it still needed phosphorus. Oxygen in the atmosphere, in the quantities needed for jets, is a sure sign of some sort of life, even if it is just single-celled. Maybe the water is operating as radiation shielding.

What if the Kerbal had Scuba gear? The pressure and temperature is good, and the atmosphere contains oxygen. All you really need is some kind of filter to clear out the unbreathable segment of the atmosphere. Speaking of unbreathable segment, what could it be made of? I have a list of atmosphereogens somewhere, I'll check it against Laythe. When comparing KSP to real life, it's good practice to pretend that everything has normal density and 10x greater radii. Otherwise, it's impossible to compare to reality and that's not fun or interesting.

The old thread was necroed then locked, but some interesting points were brought up. To continue the heated debate, I bring you this thread. Stats about Laythe Source: Kerbal Knowledge Base Physical Characteristics Eq.

It would be great if you actually read the post

Good point. Let's also remove orbits from this game, because we don't want realism, right?

They won't die midway, unless you plan incredibly poorly and put ailing 70-year old Kerbals on a space mission. This suggestion adds a reason to hire more astronauts, rather than just recycling the ones you have until their skills increase to infinity.

I like it, a reoccurring Future Tech.

If your ships take more than a lifetime to go to Jool, consider improving your orbital mechanics knowledge.
