Rescaling the structural parts to 100.000 feet and a mod that extends the physics range?

[Cloakedwand72]

Hi how would one Rescale the structural parts to 100.000 feet and a mod that extends the physics range?And how would one rescale a kas hook?

I'm not quite sure whether this is a good idea. If you make 100 000 ft long part, you'll get extreme lag and extremely low-res textures - and crashes.

Physics range likely isn't possible as you'd have to address krakensbane which is read only. You could likely do it another way, but with floating origin, you normally set a physics range.

Also, this really should be in general add on affairs, for future reference.

Can i just use procedural parts?Or part Wield?

I think there is a limit on that. The issue is also that there is a physics range which might screw up the game. Again as JebKerboom said, you will have EXTREME lag.

BD Armoury extends physics range i think and there was a vid showing you how to make huge parts.

I've seen many a mod to extend the physics range, BDArmory being one of them. However, BDA's author limits the loading of landed vessels to ~11km being beyond that the ground colliders get a bit lax. However you are right about Krakensbane because going 750m/s (or was it 850m/s?) and loading a landed vessel is a great means of making a land torpedo. AFAIK distant loading of vessels in orbit seems to be fine.

You may get more useful ideas from the cloud if you tell us a bit more about what you want to do with these giant parts? Attempting to hook Duna from Kerbin and tow it around to make transfers easier? :P

No i want to try to build a Kerbaled space elevator.Like what Arthur c Clark wrought about.

[FungusForge]

There has been many a discussion on space elevators in KSP, but they have almost all concluded with the idea being impossible in KSP. The best I can say is that the only way this would be possible is if it only acted like a space elevator (allowing resupply and whatnot) but was merely a normal station in keo-stationary orbit with a special part or two. However the limits of KSP would prevent the cable from being a tangible object, and wouldn't really support the existence of an actual elevator either.

The physics range exists for a reason. Beyond a certain range from the scene the physic 32bit math lose most of its precision and stuff goes insane.
