The game crashed today (happens pretty rarely considering I have ~30 mods installed on this build) so I checked the logs to see what I could find... (Side note, only two null references, one from Persistant-Trails and the other from EVE)

[LOG 00:09:21.904] Panel Broken from Aerodynamic forces!

[LOG 00:10:19.742] [14:39:51]: Gigantor XL Solar Array collided into the surface.

[LOG 00:10:19.742] largeSolarPanel Exploded!! - blast awesomeness: 0.5

I wish there was a blast awesomeness modifier in the options.

(Blast awesomeness modifier: Default: 1x, Goes from 0.10x to 10x. Multiplies Blast Awesomeness numbers to this level, for bigger, more awesome explosions.)

Are you listening devs? I can just see this happening...

*hacks modifier to 1000x*

*drops smallest structural piece from orbit*

*game skips to cutscene of atomic bomb blowing up, then kerbin being split in half*

Flight results: Structural Strut impacted Kerbin: Cannot launch vessels as Kerbin is undergoing climate change due to half the planet exploding and Land Krakens which were previously hiding underground now swarm the planet. The KSC is taking preventive measures. To repair kerbin, spend 10 trillion trillion funds.

This needs to be a thing! I don't really code but I will learn just so I can do this. (Though if someone who knows what they are doing would like to take a crack at it, that would be great.)

What would such a glorious mod be called? The Blast Awesomeness mod?

Blast Awesomeness Mod, or BAM! for short.

Niiiice... :cool:

I'm afraid this may be irrelevant, actually. Using the debug log as reference, i've been blowing stuff up, on, er, on purpose (Okay, maybe not) and the actual explosions, while varying greatly in explosion size and strength, the blast awesomeness was always 0 (for things like struts that go in smoke) and 0.5 (Everything else that actually explodes)

I don't think the blast awesomeness variable actually has any effect after they redid the explosion FX system :(

Perhaps there's another way to make the explosions, on average, more... "Explodey-er"?, for lack of a better phrase.

Explodie-er? More Explodey? Explodierer? Very explosion?

Oh I'm not giving up :) I have a few ideas left to look into. For instance, it may be possible to replace an explosion texture/object/thingy (still figuring out how they are generated) with something five times it's size. Also, I haven't found any values that seem to correlate to the scale of explosions, but if I do I could make something to change those. I don't really know what I'm doing, so if anyone with experience wants to help, that'd be great.

Well, still no luck, though I can't say I have really been putting a whole ton of effort into it. However, every so often I have come across this glitch where parts of my ship are not destroyed and continue to explode forever. It has always been bit of a nuisance, but recently I have realized that there is potential for a mod to replicate this glitch in some form, to get results like this:

...Does it affect FPS at all? If not, then I bet a mod could be made for this that could be "Safe for general consumption" :D

It needs a name...

"Explosions ad infinitum"

Before that's even debatable...What's a 'trillion trillion'?

Lol, Michael Bay found his way to KSP I see. :P

A lot.

Probably above the amount of funds one can possess without the game having to display it using scientific notation.

(should of used Googolplex instead, oh well)

On topic: Perhaps it's possible to make "bigger" explosions by making a mod that spawns more than one explosion for what would normally be one explosion? Thus, while an orange tank hitting the ground would NORMALLY spawn one explosion, it'll spawn multiple explosions (perhaps with slight delays, so the effect lasts for longer?)

That would probably melt my GPU, though...
