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…

⟨haida⟩ Question about principia, is it technically possible to deorbit celestial bodies in it?
<paculino>
The effect of ships on celestials has negligible effect on the celestials, so ships cannot deorbit celestials (and thrust applied to them has no effect). You can, however, have an apcalypse if your system is not stable, as celestials can make celestials deorbit.

⟨NewAgeLeech⟩ What are the cons to playing principia with stock?
<paculino>
Jool system might not quite be what you are used to if you are attached to those orbits.

haida, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G01NoaTM46o goes over how much it would theoretically take to deorbit Gilly; it is absurd and no one would be able to do it
<queqiao->
⟨NewAgeLeech⟩ That’s fine, does the stock maneuver system no longer work?
<queqiao->
⟨NewAgeLeech⟩ I can’t find any recent videos covering the mod
<paculino>
How humans might feasibly over time shift the orbit of a celestial (not just an asteroid) would be to automate many asteroid-redirect missions to pass by it at strategic times. Looking at how much more massive celestials tend to be than asteroids, it is clear that this would take very many asteroids

⟨NathanKell (he/him)⟩ what's safe to delete in <KSP>/glog? Turns out mine is 80gb and that feels a bit much 😄
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ I wouldn't try deleting glog/Principia itself, but glog/Princpia/* is all just log files
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ 80GB probably means you turned on journaling at some point for a play session (possibly inadvertently)
<paculino>
Around how long did it take you to get to 80 GB, out of curiosity?

⟨NathanKell (he/him)⟩ Thanks! Think I did for egg back when Squirrel and I had that crash that egg and pleroy were investigating.
<queqiao->
⟨NathanKell (he/him)⟩ Will prune some files ✂️
<queqiao->
⟨NathanKell (he/him)⟩ looks like most JOURNALs are between 1 and 10GB
<queqiao->
⟨NathanKell (he/him)⟩ ah, there's a few that are small.
<queqiao->
⟨NathanKell (he/him)⟩ That 13GB chonker tho...

⟨Farrier⟩ ⟪NewAgeLeech⟫ I can’t find any recent videos covering […] ⮪ Follow the official tutorial, it has gifs!

⟨Kirk (He/Him)⟩ ⟪NewAgeLeech⟫ That’s fine, does the stock maneuver […] ⮪ The stock maneuvering system no longer functions. Principia provides a much more in-depth system
