The Asteroid

[Horus Lupercal]

Wonder if its a Near-Earth or Main Belt one

It's a 'wherever he puts it' asteroid

 

[UN Cosmo Navy]

Asteroid laid imparting a vector. which way did it go?

???

 

[UN Cosmo Navy]

Ok I´m ready to really make a SMOL asteroid Pics will come tomorrow

 

[4KidsOneCamera]

I ought to revisit this challenge sometime. Decided to put it off for the specific reason of waiting till staging came out, and well now it’s out. Plus it should be pretty well suited for these ultra large launcher applications.

I'm still waiting for the promised small asteroid from SFSFS that was supposed to arrive a month ago.

Why of course you are, aren’t we all?

Yarp.

Jokes aside, you still thinking of putting Texas into orbit?

I think it’d be a fun project. I deleted the world file from the game to make room for a new 1.5.2 world, but I made a copy of the files in a new location. If I can figure out how to switch it back then I’ll probably start development after I finish my Soyuz project. If not I’ll just try and create a new asteroid.

Also, didn't iOS decide that you're allowed to borrow blueprints now?

Yup. I haven’t tried downloading blueprints yet, but I did successfully install Eternia so it works I presume.

Hmmm. Well once you've built your asteroid, would you like to borrow the worlds largest launch vehicle to get it into space?

That's if it even bloody works in 1.5+...

Sure, I think it’d be interesting to see if it works still. Could also be interesting to see if or how staging could be implemented into it.

You'd only need to make sure the single docking port holding the sections together comes apart at the right time. The fuel burns are timed for everything else

Well that makes it real simple then. I honestly wonder if you could even activate staging with all the lag. 1.5.1 buttons basically just seized up with lag, but I haven’t tested that with 1.5.2.

I doubt it. I had to turn the engines off everytime I wanted to interact with the game beyond steering. Map checks, zooming in/out. And the screen shook maybe 100-200m because of the thrust so you'd need to turn off to find the port and disconnect.

If I change my Space dust to another texture, then mine it would be a challenge, mine have a diameter of only 10cm

Well, siryonkee posted some blueprints, so it looks like iOS can share Bps now.

Careful. Remember that the engines’ hitboxes changed from 1.406 to 1.5. and fucked up many people’s builds. Komodo might need to be completely rebuilt for 1.5.

Remember that your space dust, like any other planet, is “on rails” so it can be moved by anything.

Unfortunately no, we can’t use your space dust in this challenge, James.

 

[4KidsOneCamera]

Though technically it’d be pretty easy to just clip the hit boxes by a little bit. The drag-select feature in 1.5.2 would make this really easy.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Though technically it’d be pretty easy to just clip the hit boxes by a little bit.

Yeah, obviously. But remember that every section of Komodo has a lot of engines.

 

[4KidsOneCamera]

Yeah, obviously. But remember that every section of Komodo has a lot of engines.

Hence the drag-select feature. You don’t have to manually select each part. Just drag over the entirety of the blueprint and you’re done—simple and easy.

Oh ok. Nice.

 

[4KidsOneCamera]

Oh ok. Nice.

Yup, one of the best QOL features that the new update added. Really helps to integrate my part clipping techniques with blueprint editing.

Try inserting the save (persistent) files as a quick save in an established world. They should overlay without disturbing existing files. Change address in rocket.txt and worldstate.txt to desired location. You can also change coordinates if needed.

Alright, I’ve been prototyping designs, and this is what I’ve got so far. Don’t ask how I’m getting this to space...I’m trying not to think about it... View attachment 58190

How are you getting it to space?

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

How are you getting it to space?

By conventional launch.
