<queqiao-> ⟨60plus⟩ Is anyone else getting this error from Principia (Horner): Error extending trajectory for Laythe. Error trying to fit a smooth polynomial to the trajectory. The approximation error jumped from +2.30344324226492217e-03 m to +8.35706273976261946e+03 m at time 2000-01-19T18:40:00,0000000000000000 (TT). The last position is ... Not happening in RP1 so it seems to be an error related to stock.
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ Your Retrobop seems to have gone missing.
<queqiao-> ⟨60plus⟩ ⟪Al₂Me₆⟫ Your Retrobop seems to have gone […] ⮪ Are you serious? What the heck is a retrobop? I just use Principia, it's a black box to me. 😕
<queqiao-> ⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ Apologies; that was admittedly unhelpful.
<queqiao-> Do you have Kopernicus installed (_e.g._ for Parallax)? If so, try dropping this file in your GameData: https://gist.github.com/eggrobin/31f6d0c246ecbe50423488f867fe7051/#file-retrobop-cfg
<queqiao-> You'll need a new save.
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ A retrobop is a change to the stock system to make it actually stable
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ Otherwise it will destroy itself soon
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ So bop is made to orbit jool retrograde which somehow magically fixes the problem
<queqiao-> ⟨Cirelion⟩ I actually thought it was a joke lol, the name just sounds so silly
<queqiao-> ⟨test_account⟩ It sounds kerbal 🙂
<paculino> If you want a huge pointless challenge, you can attempt to reach the Jool system before it has an apocalyptic scenario without the wonderful Retrobop
<queqiao-> ⟨60plus⟩ ⟪Al₂Me₆⟫ https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Princ[…] ⮪ Thanks man. Much appreciated time for me to retrobop.😋
