egg. — yeah, Kerbin’s geopotential is boring
<discord->
egg. — I sometimes wonder whether we should give it a more interesting one, but however you look at that you need to model its interior somewhat, and then you realize that it is absurdly dense and that there are better things to do

[Principia] eggrobin synchronize pull request #2973: Documentation for a correctly-rounded cube root - https://git.io/J3BRj
<discord->
Butcher. — Maybe it's a shell planet with a micro blackhole in the middle.
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — Planet X
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — And making Kerbin shaped like Haumea
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — I tried to convince a stock player that was sad that there was no stationkeeping module for his geosats to install principia so he can get a much more accurate long-term prediction
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — but he's still not convinced after showing a 10km drift in 10000 days
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — I tried, I tried 🥲

Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they). — Maybe limit it to rescaled stock-system installations?
<discord->
Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they). — Or is that too difficult to implement
<discord->
Stonesmile. — Do you mean a different geopotential for rescaled systems?
<discord->
Zeusbeer. — That would not fix the fact that stock is spherical and boring

I'm sure that at long distances, Kerbol-Jool can be approximated as on oblate megasun

Also what Butcher typed -- KSP models planets as scrith shells around singularities
