Red Iron Crown Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What is the purpose of destructable buildings?The terrain isnt destructable, infact the only destructable things currently are the parts themselves. Sure its cool looking, but how often are you actually going to hit the KSC with a ship? Hell I think I'm doing well getting a ship to re-enter on the right hemisphere let alone on the KSC itself. As for liftoff, well if you dont drop your boosters till after climbing 2,500m then they will never hit the ground anyway.I can only forsee these buildings as becoming a massive cost for newer players in career mode who still have difficulty breaking the 2km altitude record, ofcourse there are those who will deliberately destroy them (because, you can). Beyond that though waht does it add?Also, what are the effects of a destroyed building? If say a rocket detonates 500m off the pad and sprays 20 solid boosters all across the KSC taking out both VAB and SPH, can I no longer launch any vehicles?I get that its in development and that the video said they have big plans, hopefully including a fully destructable terrain system, I'd just like a bit of info into the reasoning why this is being done.Shania.They've said it's an interesting side effect of some ground work laid for a big feature in 0.26. My guess is it's the multiple models/textures for buildings, paving the way for them to change appearance as they are built or upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegrade Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 News from Miguel PiñaMain design and goals for 26 fully on paper now. Will write blog about it post 25 launch. Expect biomes on all bodies.[edit:] source: Twitter.ALL bodies? That's awesome! Nice find!Just two thoughts though:- Why did it take so long historically, and now is happening all at once? O.o- Does that include Jool and the Sun/Kerbol? (Low space EVA and Low/High space Gravioli are biome sensitive afteralll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Low space EVA and Low/High space Gravioli are biome sensitive afteralll)Probably just because it wasn't high enough on the priority list until now, or they've been working on it internally for a while and it's now finally done *shrugs*. Good question about Jool and the Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question about Jool and the SunGood question on Jool and the Sun. Jool is based (loosely) on Jupiter, and Jupiter does have regions, like the Great Red Spot for example as well as the various belts, so I could see at least that one happening. I don't know if Earth's sun or any sun has defined regions. Edited October 3, 2014 by Alshain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Earth's sun or any sun has defined regions.I don't know if the Sun has any permanent features (I'd guess 'no' here?), but there could conceivably be transitory features that we could investigate, having to do with flares, sunspots, solar wind output/composition, magnetic poles or oddities, etc.And I'd love to see recognizable storms on Jool, and belts. It's a little bit boring right now..a big storm spot or three and some belts would definitely spice it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
