imkSushi's Better Densities Mod

[ImkSushi]

REQUIRES:
Sigma Dimensions (which requires Kopernicus)

Download on Spacedock: http://spacedock.info/mod/751/imkSushi's Better Densities Mod

In ksp, all the planets are roughly 10x denser than in real life, such that they have a realistic surface gravity. This mod changes it such that instead of:
    Realistic Surface Gravity BUT Unrealistic Density;
You get this:
    Unrealistic Surface Gravity BUT (more importantly) Realistic Density;

NOTE:
Do not install this on an install of ksp that has a save you care about without backing up the save.

Me -for a decent idea.

ThomasP - for Kopernicus

On a more serious note, I do think that it is perfectly viable to do a playthrough with this mod, so if you want to, show me some of your spacecraft that you use.

Yes! Realistic surface gravity definitely NOT important. Absolutely!

I just thought that it would be fun to do a (short) playthrough.

My thoughts about the Kerbal universe have always been that the gravitational constant is an order of magnitude greater, rather than simply the densities being different. Even so, this is an interesting concept and I may try to play with this mod at some point to see what I can achieve with one tenth the surface gravity.

The problem is, if it was, then it would probably be impossible that things like stars can form, as the equilibrium of fusion vs gravity is upset when gravity is 10x larger inside the star. Therefore, the Kerbal System cannot exist, as with those constants, stars are impossible, yet Kerbol is a star.

And yet it does exist, so your reasoning is flawed or incomplete.

OR the Kerbol System is actually only in your head, or maybe a just an inaccurate computer simulation by an advanced civilisation...

Nice mod!

Huh, just last night I was seeing your mods on TCF. It's a small internet

Thanks. In case you are wondering why I am active modding wise over here, and not on TCF, is because it takes me not long to code one of these mods. My Terraria mod requires more of my time. I am going to start working on it again at the end of the week, as atm, I am Busy^TM.

Advanced compared to the society of mice.

 

Although I suppose Kopernicus=Magreatha.

Is there any chance you could change it so that the density multiple is a setting? Then I could make 1km Kerbin with 100g gravity

Umm. I just used Sigma Dimensions Mod. Check it out to customize stuff how you want:

 

[teag2]

I know it uses SD, I was wondering if you could make the density muliplyer a setting so that we could customize the density, the same way you can customize scale in SD.

I suppose. I may do stuff, but I have a long to-do list:

Finish this week
code update 2.5.0 on my Terraria Mod
Start coding some planets for ksp
More Stuff

As you can see, I'm quite Busy^TM.

or maybe your universe is just an inaccurate computer simulation by an advanced civilization, so your argument is flawed.

Or it's simulations all the way down. To stop us escaping and discovering all the low-resolution planets around other stars, they tweaked up our G and removed our photosynthetic ability so we would starve even if we tried. But otherwise we're a close approximation.

your universe? Do you come from another one?

That's a very plausible theory.

Well, actually, it isn't. Universe implies that there is only one, and as such, you cannot come from another.

Just because humans labeled the universe with a word implying one, does not mean there is only one. Here is a theory which postulates that you may be reading this in a different universe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-minds_interpretation

To put it simply, you cannot be from another universe, because you would need to achieve one of two things to get there:

Either travel faster than light from the edge of the universe, which is impossible
Or go through a wormhole, but it is impossible to do so without using negative energy, and it is impossible to get negative energy.

Gotcha.

Nope, my consciousness has branched universes many times since my last post. Check out the article. It's not about lightspeed and wormholes, it's about quantum mechanics.

Do you come from a universe like this?:

That's an interesting read, if only it wasn't met with scoffs and silliness here; a tad disconcerting.

But nonetheless, neat mod. We can never have too many physics-adjusting mods, since they often have the most significant effects on gameplay.
