funnelton Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Basically a hollow planet where only the crust remains, with huge holes showing a black hole in the middle? Reason for said black hole would be an ancient civilization accidentally created it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOXBLOX Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Somehow I think this is more of a Hollywood thing... not KSP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTay Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I think by now, probably all of the planets to be released with the game will have already been decided on. But it would be neat to fly through the gravity center of a body somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKI Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Because this game has interstellar features, its possible for the team to create and release DLCs with more star systems. Because of this I feel like more planets/bodies can always be on the table, unless the team specifically doesn't want to focus on such. At the same time, I wonder what it would take to add a visually correct black hole into the game. Nevermind how it would interact, or if it were to exist within a hollow planet. Oh I can feel the kraken really messing with such a planet. Also... can I get time dilation when near the black hole??? I guess adding such a feature would open up a large can of worms beyond just the incredible gravity. Edited July 6, 2021 by MKI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXDIAZ Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Hollow Planets are not possible, or at least in the way you're describing with planet-wide cave systems and what not. It would have to be a Gilly or Minmus sized moon for this to even theoretically make any sense. Edited July 6, 2021 by NXDIAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mcslay Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 If a civilization created a black hole all that would remain is the black hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlutoISaPlanet Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Char will be kinda similar? Butttt not the black hole. Edited July 15, 2021 by PlutoISaPlanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There definitely couldn't be a black hole in the middle either, but I really like the idea of having a low-gravity body with big voids inside it!

Maybe the developers could use very large, thin terrain scatters with collision enabled to create the "crust" of the planet and leave holes in the ground for the player to enter through. Unfortunately, exploring the core of the hollow planet would be impossible for the same reason you can't explore the core of Jool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Technically, all KSP planets are a blade-thin quasispherical crust with an empty space inside, with a zero-size black hole in center, due to division by zero. The holes in the crust sometime present, too, due to gaps between faces. So. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 A hollow planet would collapse into a sphere immediately under its own gravity.

I've never seen a game give us the proper Einsteinian mechanics surrounding one, though. Having a supermassive black hole in KSP2 to fool around in would be interesting, either in a mod or in the base game. Perhaps one in a very old globular cluster would be calm enough to approach. I know they wouldn't add it without doing the physics right, though, so I'm not expecting it anytime soon. I wouldn't want a black hole without actual warped space, time dilation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgently Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 If a black hole were created and broke loose, I don't think a planet would remain at all. But a hollow planet full of dinosaurs and cave-kerbaloids might be interesting as long as we are getting crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerr geometry, including the four dimensional temporal structure of the hole and the ringularity, can be calculated on a home computer, albeit very slowly: http://www.madore.org/~david/math/kerr.html#videos The much simpler Schwarzschild geometry can be done real-time, and there's no doubt Intercept could pull it off: https://ebvalaim.pl/en/black-hole-simulator/ It's possible, but there's not enough interest regarding black hole interiors.

funnelton Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) okay i found this again and i found an image showing what i meant in the outer wilds version it looks like it still have some of its mantle, what i meant is just the crust with massive holes in it Edited September 5, 2021 by funnelton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderKid2 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The orangey stuff in Brittle Hollow are big crystals, not mantle. While having Brittle Hollow in KSP would be a great mod, I don't think it fits in the base game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
