jool ground or just crash?

[jake9039]

so I was wondering wether when you attempt to land on jool, if when the youtubers crashed into the "ground" of jool or if they just hit an "if part is under (insert altitude here) then make it explode!" line of code. just wondering if my jool1 craft should pack a bunch of parachutes.

No, it will just blow up. When it gets to -250m it will blow up, the 'ground' of Jool is highly explosive.

The way Jool and Kerbol are rendered in the game, makes impossible to land.

Eva kerbals and flags used to survive there, do they still do?

It's supposed to be impossible. If you find a way to do it, it's a bug.

You can't actually reach the 0m 'surface' point on Kerbol anyway, you can get close, but theres a zone a little above the surface that insta-kills you when you hit it.

Does the sun ('kerbol') act this way in 1.0? I have not tried it but I expected serious heating effects now that temperatures actually matter..?

[legoclone09]

As I said before, the surface of Jool and Kerbol is made out of C4 that when something touches it it blows up.

I thought yall were talking about Kerbal for a bit and was confused. They should have named it Kol instead of Kerbol.

The devs did not name the Sun anything. It is called "The Sun", Kerbol is a fan-made invention to follow the names for the rest of planets.
