Beating Space Cuthulu

[IvanTehFennec]

Hey! If you're encountering the space cuthulu bug constantly, and it's making your planetary travels impossible, just pull up the cheat menu (Control+Shift+Alt+D), then select "Unbreakable Joints" before you warp, and after de-warping, unselect it and put the menu away. You might want to press ALT-X a few times to clear the trim that opening the cheat menu applies, just in case.

"Space" Cthulhu sounds so cheesy/reduntant, Warp Cthulhu is better.

You can also just go to the space center, then re-select your ship.

What? Space cthulu rips the ship apart when de-warping. Going to the space centre will give you lots of debris and a command module where you used to have a spaceship.

You see that debris orbiting the sun? That was a probe en-route to eve when I de-warped and it ended up like that. The command pod is something else, I subsequently ended the probe's flight.

Having said that, I have also had a visual glitch where most of the ship will just turn jet black like the skin is missing, that can be solved by going to the space centre and reselecting. But that's not cthulu as I understand it, just annoying.

I've found that just switching to ship view to make changes in time acceleration does the trick. Since I started making sure to change time acceleration in ship view instead of map view and do it gradually, I have not had a single ship fly apart.
