egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <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…

⟨misterblusky⟩ So, I’m new to Principa and wont have internet for over a month. I won’t be able to search for stuff to help me, so I’m thinking about removing Principa from my RP-1 playthrough until I return.
<queqiao->
Will removing Principa ruin my game?
<queqiao->
⟨misterblusky⟩ I’m year 1953ish, with currently nothing in any orbit.
<queqiao->
⟨DRVeyl⟩ Then removing Principia won't have much effect.
<queqiao->
Re-adding it poses problems to vessels on an interplanetary transfer, because the planet positions would change some amount.
<queqiao->
⟨DRVeyl⟩ (If you don't have any of those when you add Principia, you shouldn't have problems then, either)
<queqiao->
⟨misterblusky⟩ Thank you!
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ how intensive is principia on the game
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ updating to 1.12 and considering it
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ timewarping slows down a bit, scene changes take longer snd rendering your trajectory out to the 21st century will take some time
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ * and
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ id say, 4 cores and 16gb should be enough for principia and RO
<queqiao->
⟨SpaceMarine⟩ The biggest performance issue
<queqiao->
⟨SpaceMarine⟩ is time warping with kct
<queqiao->
⟨SpaceMarine⟩ for me anyway
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ timewarping in general is slowed down.
<queqiao->
Because each vessel can run on its own thread, more cores means thats less of an issue
<queqiao->
⟨SpaceMarine⟩ i do have a lot of stuff in orbit but yea that sthe big i ssue for me
<queqiao->
⟨SpaceMarine⟩ i dont have a crazy pc but its no slouch either
<queqiao->
⟨SpaceMarine⟩ r5 5600, gtx 1070, 32gb of ram
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ ah well, thats a non-option
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ what are your specs ?
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ laptop, 8 gigs of ram, i5 processor
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ somehow manages to run the game at a decent frame rate, and at medium graphics
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ as i said, i push the limits
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ discord running at the same time is a bit risky
<queqiao->
⟨siimav⟩ (as a side note, I don't get why people think that i3, i5 or i7 is useful information. It's so meaningless unless you also mention the generation.)
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ ah k
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ 11th generation
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ thats plenty
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ oh?
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ are you sure
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ it's a laptop
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ yeah
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ interesting
<queqiao->
⟨siimav⟩ 4 cores and decent single thread performance at least.
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ k
<queqiao->
⟨siimav⟩ Memory is problematic in general though.
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ glue another 8gb stick onto the one you have now and it should be fine
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ idk what those mean, i'm just reading out the stuff i see in settings
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ lenovo thinkbook lmao
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ it's a lenovo thinkbook
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ iirc, they have 2 RAM slots, usually only one populated, pop it open, buy a copy of the one (only if theres only one) stick you have right now and put it in the other slot
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ well, i'm not sure if i'm allowed to do that, as there's some weird policy at my school where i might have to hand it back in
<queqiao->
⟨pEdro⟩ playing on the school pc
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ indeed
<queqiao->
⟨zephyr⟩ Tbh it's ksp with principia it probably teaches you more than the average college course
<queqiao->
⟨Butcher⟩ ⟪pEdro⟫ :lul: playing on the school pc ⮪ I play on my work pc.
<queqiao->
⟨RocketCello⟩ ⟪zephyr⟫ Tbh it's ksp with principia it probably […] ⮪ I've seen
<queqiao->
⟨someonelse⟩ ⟪Butcher⟫ I play on my work pc. ⮪ “Business expense”
