Well. Depends. There is certain point from no return, I think it’s called the Event Horizon.
Before there you can escape (technically)

I used to afraid of black hole when I was a child
I wonder what will the 8 years old me will think when he knows the Solar system is orbiting that black dot

 

[SupremeDorian]

Actually no, that's just the effect I would expect from a real black hole. I'll have to check that
Oh, just for information, I've calculated that if the Earth was compressed into a black hole, its radius would be 1 centimeter, and the gravity at its "surface" (actually at the horizon)... 4×10^18 m/s^2

You can do some cool stuff with the Post Processing settings in the Planet Editor. For example, you can set it to start Hue Shifting a certain amount below a certain altitude.

Black Hole aside, what do you guys think of the mod?

neat.

think you overstated the difficulty in getting to Hades though.

I replaced Glacies but
I'm still building an over-engineered marvel to go visit them all

No such thing as over-engineered. Hehe..

Version 1.1:
Updated the Black Hole. It is now almost as big as the sun, is farther away and should be harder to escape from. Since this update only changes 1 file, only the Black Hole will be attached to this post. Enjoy!

Well, I guess I'm on my way to my last destination...

Interesting effects indeed, but approaching the black hole tends to produce some glitchy effects too.
What would be cool is if you could model a ring of hot matter rotating around the black hole. You know, that kind of things:

What kind of glitchy effects? Also, are you using the new version or the old version?

You mean an accretion disc? (Pardon the possibly bad spelling)

 

[Altaïr]

I use the latest one. Those are glitches regarding the trajectory: it tends to change suddenly, and speed varies in a weird way sometimes too. For example, I could see my ship slowing down while it was still approaching the black hole. Actually that's an existing effect (a distant observer would see an object falling into a black hole going slower and slower), but I seriously doubt that you intended to reproduce an effect from general relativity
Actually I already noticed those glitches when doing a fly-by of the Sun, so I guess it's not your fault. This is probably related to numerical imprecision inside SFS, but in the case of a black hole, a small imprecision can lead to a very different trajectory.

 

[Altaïr]

Yes, exactly!

Update 1.2:
Added a custom Atmosphere texture to Hades to reflect more upon its Volcanic look. Put the atmosphere into the Textures folder and overwrite the old Hades file for the planet itself.

 

[Bananas]

I think its great that you're constantly updating the mod.

 

[Jupiter]

any preview screenshot?

I just updated the main post with images of the textures.

 

[Varkolyx]

I made myself a little colony on mirum

A space station orbiting mirum

And this thing witch broke a little bit on landing

No, on your forehead, Dorian. Lol, of course on the Forum.
