1/10 Stock System Config for RSS

[metaphor]

Yes, this is a configuration for RSS that has the stock planets but at 1/10th the stock size. That means Kerbin has a 60 km radius, its atmosphere ends at 7 km up, the Mun orbits at 1140 km, etc. The orbital and rotational periods are also scaled to match, and the surface gravities should be the same as stock.

Still having some problems with the terrain of some planets (Minmus looks pretty cool though). But Kerbin itself should actually be OK. It's pretty fun, like KSP on easy mode.

DOWNLOAD

Installation instructions: Put this file into your KSP/GameData/RealSolarSystem folder, and remove the file "RealSolarSystem.cfg" from that folder.

A time control mod is recommended, since the default altitudes for time warp are way too high now.

Known bugs:

-Kerbin's atmosphere seems to cut off rather abruptly when viewed from the ground.

-lots of exaggerated terrain, mainly on the smaller bodies

-Laythe suddenly has lots of small islands

-Gilly and Bop seem to lag a lot as you get close to them

edit: Renegrade has a RealSolarSystemSettings.cfg file for balanced solar power generation in post #6 below.

Hahah it's so tiny!

[Chezburgar7300]

Awesome! Will post some pics soon if you want...

[Specialist290]

This sounds like it's going to be immensely fun to try out. I'll keep an eye on it.

[metaphor]

Nice pic tygoo7.

Here's one of Minmus:

Not sure how to make the mountains smaller...

[Renegrade]

Yay!

When you mentioned you were making a 1/10th scale Kerbin, I was reminded of that xkcd thing about the Little Prince's asteroid/planet (http://what-if.xkcd.com/68/), and became very excited, and started to make my own version.

It's less developed, but I do have a powercurve in RealSolarSystemSettings.cfg that might help:

There are/were some issues in mine that were amusing, so I made some screenshots:

theese tiny planets are just too cute

[Whirligig Girl]

This is SUPER fun!

[Whirligig Girl]

I got an escape trajectory from Kerbin using an Aeris 3A with Turbojet modification.

[astropapi1]

Gotta try this later. Thanks!

[Whirligig Girl]

Hahah it's so tiny!

What possible use do you have with a Kerbal X? XD

[pingopete]

omg this is incredible, try landing on Mun now

[worir4]

Awesome, i can finally RCS jetpack Jeb into Munar orbit!

[Whirligig Girl]

Crap. Now I'm addicted to this. Here's what my brain is doing:

It's not realistic!

But it's fun!

You don't get any satisfaction

But it's fun!

The terrain looks crazy!

But it's fun!

It's stupidly bad, even worse than stock KSP at realism, and it's demeaning to the very spirit of the game.

But it's f-

Yes, I get it. "Fun". Whatever.

This is amazing. I wonder what regex would say

This is amazing. I wonder what regex would say

It's not really any sillier than stock.

[Whirligig Girl]

Really, it's not sillier than stock? It's literally a factor of 10 times sillier than stock.

[Whirligig Girl]

I've decided on some names for all the planets here.

Kerbol->Kerbolita

Moho->Mohill

Eve->Evie

Gilly->Space Rock

Kerbin->Kirbin

Mun->Smun

Minmus->Minni

Duna->Duni

Dres->Drix

Jool->Jill

Laythe->Lith

Tylo->Tillo

Vall->Vil

Bop->Kraken Rock

Pol->Grain

Eeloo->Ellie

Here's a dumb idea: Use all of the realism hardmode mods (like Interstellar WasteHeat, DangIt, FAR, DR, Isp Difficulty Scaler, etc.) And also 1/10 scale Stock System mod, for mixed effect.

[Whirligig Girl]

I've been messing around, and using Kerbal Isp Difficulty Scaler, 0.3 is a good number to make the Kerbal X a one-way Smun-lander.

That makes sense since the delta-v's are about 3 times smaller than stock (sqrt(10) to be more precise).

I did not realize this! That's pretty cool actually. I just made a guesstimate. I'm now using 0.6, because I like the ability to use tiny rockets in a tiny system.

[Whirligig Girl]

So I flew a few missions here.

It's a miniaturized Kerbal X. Why would you want that? Well, the stock system has been rescaled to 10% it's current size. To facilitate this, I use Kerbal Isp Difficulty Scaler to turn down the rocket efficiency. I have Atmosphere and Vacuum set to 0.6, but I might lower that to 0.5 because this rocket is still a bit too overpowered. I also use Time Control to allow proper timewarping altitudes.

So Spaceplanes are REALLY hard in this. the mountains block KSC really well, and the ground is so bumpy you don't dare land on the ground.
