Jool's Surface

[dsplaisted]

This is a question for the dev team. When will Jool actually be a gas planet and lose its surface?

[Spicat]

We never had an answer to if it's intentional, a bug, or just not possible to remove because of how they made planets.

And besides, isn't Jupiter theorized to have some kind of solid core and if so, why not also Jool?

[The Aziz]

The problem is, no manmade spacecraft would be able to reach the core in one piece due to the pressure. And since it's not really simulated, the only thing that could stop the craft from getting too low is temperature. Buuuut on Jool it's not exactly reliable. Not to mention, the entire reentry profile is borked, but apparently it's not a bug .

External Pressure isn't part of the game. Just atmo-temp.

Yet.

40,000,000 Atm of pressure at the core, so I really doubt that.
