Howdy folks, To bait engagement, book club thread! Every week or so I'll post either an excerpt of a book, an essay, or other such thing; for the folks on this forum here to discuss. Now I want some academic discussion here, We're going to talk about the rhetorical choices of the author, the...

In the former soviet union, the cities were very interesting. They focused on brutalist architecture, and prefabricated buildings. This, is perfect for a space colony in SFS. Thus begins the "Краснаыа Венера" or Red Venus project. Because I am building an entire bloody city here, I'm going to...

Are there any ways to get a conversation with more than 6 people? Is it locked behind some kind of badge requirement, or is it just impossible?

I'm sure you all are aware of what a pink tax is, wherein two products can be identical, but the distinction that one is for women will make it significantly more expensive. Don't know if that's a thing in other countries, but I'll guess it's a global thing. In this case, I've noticed a strange...

Now that the email bug is fixed, we're getting a massive influx of new users. Unfortunately, with instant messaging being rather popular nowadays; Many people don't know proper email or forum etiquette. Thus, this shall be a thread with some tips and tricks for new users. While these are not...

This has been a long time coming folks, But I'm leaving these here forums. To be truthful, I never really intended to stay as long as I did. Heck I was already thinking about leaving in 2022. Don't take any of this the wrong way though, I've had a great time on this forum; but it's about time...

Since I plan to permanently retire from the forum some time in either late 2026 or early 2027, It's probably a good idea to get a neat checklist of things I plan to do on the forum each year; To try to get at least something done. Think of it like a new year's resolution, but in may. I invite...

My main rocketry thread keeps getting off topic when I post my machines, It'd also be nice to have a centralized place to put them, So behold: THIS Thread! here are the tanks I've made so far: https://sharing.spaceflightsimulator.app/rocket/IX282CSNEfCL4tPseAeipw...

I've recently found myself entranced by hearts of iron 4, I currently have about 1.2k hours. I'll post some screenshots soon; Currently I'm doing some basic runs where I can take some screenshots to teach my pal how to play. Generally I play fairly vanilla on iron man, Just a few visual mods to...

In my recent draft of the democratic alternative, I've narrowed the scope to improving the orbital institute, however there's no actual evidence that my reforms will actually work so: basically this thread is a proof of concept. This thread will go to prove these things: 1. People are willing...

Introduction This is an entry level thread to bearings and mechanical systems in SFS. Consider this an updated version of Danny Batten's "Beginners Curriculum On Mechanical Systems in SFS", Its honestly is a great thread and it got me into mechanical systems in SFS in the first place. This is...

Today is St. Patrick's day. I don't know if every country celebrates the holiday; But here in the US we do. Anyways, I think this is a good threat to discuss what the day means to people, How they celebrate, and for people to ask questions about the day, and who St. Patrick even was.

Entry for the steam engine bonus challenge Now, I think I'm the first to attempt this; so this entry should be criticized heavily so it can form a guide for future players. Using good old Acarii drives, I've made a large rover that needs no player input to move. Rocket Link (the piston on it...

Launches a missile of roughly 7.62% total mass, I did use a little bit of its fuel though that I forgot to refill (dang RCS), so it's actually a payload of %7.15 total mass. Rocket Link (this is for the shuttle challenge by the way, it qualifies as a spaceplane and all)

For some reason, the forum's staff have failed to create a member of the year nomination thread; Perhaps out of ignorance or malicious intent I cannot say for certain. But regardless; let's use this thread to nominate some people for the prestigious member of the year 2024! Since I'm the first...

In the past I've worked on python tools designed to make creating content for SFS easier. Of course though, all of these completely failed, since typing values into a console takes longer than simply using a text document. But then while using pygame, I realized it was entirely possible to...

Due to recent issues with copyright protection and trademarks, we are currently unable to use landing legs on our crafts lest we fear legal recourse. Therefore, you, our brave ship designers; must find an alternative method for landing, and then perform a mission of your choosing using these...

Of all issues in SFS (and software in general), crashing is one of the most common. So it seems perfectly reasonable to me to make a quick thread dedicated to documenting and fixing crashes, so that folks can get back to playing the game as quickly as possible. This isn't exactly a tutorial, so...

Good afternoon everyone, In the United States of America today is thanksgiving. I'm an American so I celebrate the holiday. The holiday started in the united states after president Lincoln's "Thanksgiving proclamation" I've also heard other countries celebrate it, so I figure it'd be nice to...

Preface: When the choices of presidential candidate were chosen for 2024, a rather large flood of profile posts completely derailed a small area of the forum for a time. To prevent such an occurrence from happening again in the case of future events that may cause outrange among the populous of...

In recent years I feel I've gotten quite a bit more religious, and I feel I've accidentally started proselytizing in casual conversation entirely unconsciously. as such I figure I'd better know how much is allowed, if any is allowed at all, or alternatively if it is entirely okay. Below is me...

I've recently decided, big ships are cool, I should make some. I face two main issues: 1. The more mass the more engines you need 2. RCS are pathetic and suck on larger scales. For the first I assume stretching engines is fine if I make sure to use ballast, though I do ask how much extra weight...

As the overhauled challenge system will have bp-editing a steam engine for its initial challenge of tier 2, and tier 2 isn't out yet. I figure I should start a development thread for the steam engine so that I might be ready when tier 2 releases. this is a separate thread than hobbs space...

Have you ever thought "Man I wish I had an entirely decorative version of the bob semple tank in my SFS world" well you're screwed because that's not what I made. I made an okay re-creation that has the same spirit but is completely different. Rocket Link

It seems very simple to me now, but standing idly by and hoping the institute may accept me is the attitude of the fool. I must force their hand, Either they have to accept me or find a reason to reject me. I am applying for the recruit rank, and here is why I believe I qualify and should be...
