Also asteroid and comet harvesting would be a valid way to get resources for your orbital colonies. It would be easier than hauling everything up from a planet's surface.

DerkyJerkyWreaksHavoc Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Colonies on comets and asteroids? what is this? Minecraft with floating blocks?! i dont think the game will allow us to build colonies on minor celestial bodies or randomly generated objects.

Even if asteroids work more or less like in KSP1, an asteroid colony is just an orbital base built around one. I would expect there are Klaw analogues to make it possible to latch on.

Guest Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I think it would be a good idea. after all, colonies on asteroids could be useful for mining fuel. But a colony for one asteroid that like the current sizes right now wouldn't make sense. After all, if would be cool if you built a station docked to multiple asteroids to make direct refueling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be, there may not be a klaw analog in KSP2. Since we haven't seen anything attached to an asteroid, or asteroids in general, we can't say for certain. By no means the klaw is necessary to build a orbital colony in a way to trap an asteroid within the structure. Hence the statement, if not officially supported, someone will do it anyway.

NutellaSandwich Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Maybe it wouldn't be manned, but would be a probe on the asteroid or comet, with a space station nearby to send manned missions to collect the ore. Although if the asteroid/comet is big enough, it could have a very *VERY* small colony on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can, but eventually they will drift apart. You would have to grab it of trap it to keep them in place. If you're mining the asteroid and taking it to the station, eventually the constant impacts with start pushing them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't yet know the faults in KSP 2's code yet so I don't think we have proper bearings on what will and won't summon a kraken Edited October 30, 2020 by mcwaffles2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
