UmbralRaptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fano. We currently target 1.3.1, 1.4.x, 1.5.1, and 1.6.1. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…

<discord-> e​gg. — @Gregrox yes
<discord-> e​gg. — it definitely has a very visible effect (see the moon in RSS)
<discord-> e​gg. — it's not trivial
<discord-> e​gg. — a problem is that whole "arbitrary body" business: you can't generally assume uniform density (see the moon)
<discord-> e​gg. — once you do have a sufficiently-well-defined body, turning that into spherical harmonics should be possible albeit tedious

<discord-> D​amien. — @egg is it theoretically possible (in principia) to have a toroidal planet with a corresponding gravity model?

<discord-> n​eph. — Yo is there any way to display the surface-fixed ref frame
<discord-> n​eph. — but as a ground track?
<discord-> n​eph. — I just want it projected onto the surface
<discord-> n​eph. — Or flattened as a map would be better
<discord-> n​eph. — For example, for a Molniya orbit:
<discord-> e​gg. — there currently is no such thing.
<discord-> B​utcher. — F for @neph
<discord-> n​eph. — Consider this a formal feature request 😃

<discord-> n​eph. — We got another one my noodle bois @Lord Lima Bean
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — yo
<discord-> n​eph. — Principia's the best mod to add to your rp-1 install imo
<discord-> n​eph. — I'd also recommend ROKerbalism and as many part packs as your ram can handle
<discord-> n​eph. — You got b9, right?
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — I think it came with the ckan install lol
<discord-> n​eph. — I'd also add persistent rotation and persistent thrust if you dn't already have them
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — should I get remotech, or does it come with a mod like it?
<discord-> n​eph. — I think you don't need it if you're using Kerbalism?
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — what does kerbalism do for the communication netwrok?
<discord-> n​eph. — But that's a #rp1-kerbalism question
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — yeah
<discord-> D​amien. — Kerbalism doesn't affect comms any more
<discord-> D​amien. — It used to
<discord-> n​eph. — I'd personally say not using rt is cheating, but it can be killer for your cpu to my understanding
<discord-> n​eph. — I consider taerobee really important for the early game, primarily just because of that excellent decoupler
<discord-> n​eph. — I'll also just throw in there that I enjoy play far more now that I'm using kOS
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — so, what are some good part mods? also, I am going to do something pretty cool, which will add tons more planets to principia, an aquantance of mine is adding a config for a mod that adds tons of things to rss, the config will make it principia compatable, I might try it out, but idk yet lol
* UmbralRaptor will be amused if those planets cause an apocalypse in short order
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — lol
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — I don't think it will
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — worst that will happen is it gobbles up my ram
<discord-> n​eph. — You realize it's not exactly a trivial thing to get "tons more planets" into stable orbits, right? My understanding is the Sol system is already pretty abnormally planet-ful
<discord-> n​eph. — I put 5 bucks on apocalypse
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — it adds things that are in the real solar system that rss neglects
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — just little things like smaller moons, comets, asteroids, TNOs, ect.
<discord-> n​eph. — Ah, I see
<discord-> n​eph. — Doubt you'll ever get to those TNOs tho 😉
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — some of them don't have textures yet, and it wasn't principia compatble until like yesterday when someone made a patch, I haven't tested it yet tho

<UmbralRaptor> Ah, so magnetohydrodynamics
<discord-> n​eph. — *magnetohydroastrodynamics
<discord-> S​tandecco. — @Lord Lima Bean oh you know the RSS expanded guy?
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — @Standecco yeah, someone in their discord made a patch for it to work with principia
<discord-> S​tandecco. — with all the bodies?
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — all but real theoritcals
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — I tried to get it to work but it crashed on me, he got it to work on his, so I will mess around a bit then try again, if I can't get it to work I will contact them, but, right now I am fixing some smaller issues with rss/rp-1/ro lol
<discord-> S​tandecco. — that rssve thing?
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — @Standecco that and I still can't figure out how to set up the dates and get the starting tech, also no contracts are showing up
<discord-> S​tandecco. — have you installed through ckan?
<discord-> L​ord Lima Bean. — yes]
<discord-> S​tandecco. — also we should move to #rp0-support

<discord-> K​obymaru. — @neph no persistant rotation with Principia, they don't play well together when SOI boundaries get involved. Can't imagine PersistentThrust working either, but for that you'd have to ask the Oef
<discord-> S​tandecco. — speaking of that, when persistent thrust in principia?
<discord-> K​obymaru. — Some perstiant Rotation would be harsh, but challanging
