How to change explosion size?

[Fraston]

Is there a way (if so how) to change the explosion from crashing's size within the game's files?

In the debug menu, if something explodes it says "X Exploded! Blast awesomeness=0.5"

Hello @Fraston.

As far as I know there is no way to increase explosion size in the stock game so I have moved your thread to add on discussions.

Yes, you can. You can edit the part cfg file, search for the following parameter (or add it if it's not there):

explosionPotential = 0.1

A low value will give a 'poof' dust cloud, and higher values will yield bigger explosion effects.

how high does it go?

This one used to work - don't know if it still does, would be nice if they updated and used toolbar instead.

This little mod adjusts the explosion power (and effect) of each part based on its resources.

With this mod a part with not a lot of explosive stuff will only create a few dust clouds and debris when destroyed. A small fuel tank will explode a little, a big one will explode a lot.

Disclaimer: no new effects, we got nice new ones from SQUAD only recently!
