How to Read The G'S Bar

[Little Kerbonaut!]

I don't know how to read the bar that shows how many G'S your kerbals are going through, I know when it reaches the red marker it's pretty high. But the little lines I don't know how to read. If anyone knows how to red the bar can you please tell me.

@Little Kerbonaut! Each little line corresponds to 1G, and the maximum G force that the scale can show is 15G.

Oh, ok I have another question. What is the little green line on the bar? Does it mean green is good, grey is ok, and red is bad?

Yes, but it's just a rough idea. It's not that specific things happen at specific levels on the meter.

Oh, ok!

The colors are really just for decoration.  There's no "good" or "bad".  It's just an indicator of how hard you're accelerating, that's all.

Going into the red zone is generally considered bad for Kerbal health, if you have Kerbal G limits applied that is. More G forces will make your Kerbals pass out faster and at extremely high Gs (50 or more) parts will fail if you have that option selected in the settings. It takes A LOT of effort to hit 50 gravities though, usually a head-long crash into something (either the ground or an atmosphere) will do it but on occasions some weird part clipping issues can cause sudden and violent accelerations and parts will fail as a result. The green bit is just for show.

Just remember that the G meter will show the combined acceleration forces in all directions.
