<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ Kashada have you played with principia in stock or even RSS without RP-1? Trust me, it makes learning how to use principia million times easier
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ +a
<queqiao-> ⟨Kashada⟩ Ha I've barely even played RSS, I've been playing P/LC for about a week and have done Luna impact/orbit. I kind of like the deep end though so it being hard to learn will likely just get me more invested.
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ ⟪Kashada⟫ Ha I've barely even played RSS, I've […] ⮪ I learned principia after already being familiar with RSS/RP0 (this was before it became RP1) and even then, I got a massive leap in ability by taking a break to speedrun all the major milestones (orbit, landing, rendezvous etc) in stock and regular RSS before going back to doing it the hard way
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ like learn how to do all the tricky stuff and how the UI works without having limited ignitions, ullage etc etc
<queqiao-> ⟨Zeusbeer⟩ That is the way
<queqiao-> ⟨Zeusbeer⟩ Full stock or RSS with Smurf only
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ yeah RSS/SMURFF is the pro play
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ that's what I did. set up RSS/SMURFF to practice all the cool principia tricks
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ playing with L-points and precessing orbits and all that
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ otherwise you're messing around with build times and launch failures etc instead of actually learning
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ (or if you are really familiar with RO, RO sandbox from Kourou could be viable)
<queqiao-> ⟨egg⟩ (but career from Florida is asking for nasty surprises down the line)
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ yeah true. but I find that if you're just wanting to learn the UI it's better to take advantage of infinite ignitions and infinitely throttleable engines as per stock
<queqiao-> ⟨Damien⟩ instead of trying to mess with a fractional dv maneuver with an engine that can't deep throttle
<queqiao-> ⟨tri⟩ ⟪egg⟫ 🌑 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alston_S[…] ⮪ hideo kojima ass name
<queqiao-> ⟨tri⟩ * sounding
<queqiao-> ⟨Gratak-⟩ Btw, this hint from https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/issues/3442 has fixed my regular crashing issue:
<queqiao-> "sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144"
<queqiao-> or rather globally:
<queqiao-> "echo "vm.max_map_count = 262144" | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/90-vmMaxCountPrincipiaKSP.conf"
<queqiao-> Might want to add this as a hint for linux people with crashes somewhere?
