Interesting. Do keep in mind that RSSVE-lite is different from RSSVE. It just makes me uncomfortable updating REX to 1.4.5 when one of its dependencies is technically not supported for 1.4.5.

Andi K. Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) @FreeThinker I just tested RSSVE with 1.4.5, and there are some issues. I'm going to wait until RSSVE is updated to 1.4.5 before I update REX to 1.4.5. Edited September 30, 2018 by AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSpace Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Quick question: Rather than make interstellar distances one-tenth as far, why not just add star systems within a couple dozen lightyears instead? Also, which star systems does it add? (the previous version of the mod had a list of systems on it's front post) Edited October 1, 2018 by ChrisSpace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it is just the Alpha Centauri System (including Proxima Centauri) as well as the HD 10180 system. Tau Ceti will be added soon-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally listed as 5 (or was it 7?), simulations show that the arrangement is unstable. In the end they only confirmed two (b, c). "and 10 potentially habitable worlds", ...all of which are either too hot (Tau Ceti e and more), or too big (likely Gliese 832 c), or orbiting a red dwarf, which means that the local stellar wind will blow the living atmosphere out of them and likely immense tidal force will turn them into giant versions of Io (all of them except Tau Ceti e). Not that it's necessarily a bad thing since various kinds of uninhabitable worlds makes for more interesting targets for science and colonization than a bunch of plain ol' habitable worlds filled with unknown alien natives that will (indirectly) fill your house with angry bioconservationists. Within roughly 40 light years there are many more interesting systems and more, like Sirius system, Epsilon Eridani system, or TRAPPIST-1 system, for example. Just beyond that you also have 55 Cancri system. Edited October 3, 2018 by Hypercosmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonas1997 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Does anyone else have lightning problems with Real Exoplanets? I'm running a 1.3.1 modpack with RSSVE and, when REX is installed, the sunlight received on the Earth is WAY dimmer than it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a conversation about this before with @ProtoJeb21 and he figured that an atmospheric pressure between 0.1 and 0.5 would be reasonable. I'd probably agree with him. Tau Ceti g is too close to Tau Ceti to have a super thick atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
