Multi Joints?

[mattihase]

One think I've noticed in the 0.2 settings is an option to toggle mutli-joints. is there any clarification on what these are anywhere?

I haven`t found any of the said joint options in the settings... can someone explain where to find them???

Well, I can't answer your question @Mikki, but @mattihase, it's the old joint system that was causing most of the wobbly rocket issues. Use the Enhanced Joint system to nullify most wobbly issues.

it's only visible in the Main Menu's Settings page, under Gameplay. There are 3 new options, under the category of "Physx Joints":

1. Enhanced Joints System toggled off/on

2. Enhanced Joints Mode – heaviest, root, or grandparent

3. Multi-Joint System toggled off/on

The tooltip for Enhanced Joints System says that when you have it enabled, it recommends turning off Multi-Joint System due to performance.

It seems like Enhanced Joints System is basically enabling autostrut for all parts (which I think they said is a temporary band-aid, not the long-term solution), while Multi-Joint System is specifically aimed at making vertical stacks more structurally sound
