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…

⟨mullerraumdeuter⟩ whenever i launch a rocket with principa installed it immediately shakes itsself apart just after launch, does anyone know how to fix this?
<paculino>
Do you have any other mods which affect physics?
<queqiao->
⟨zombiezilla⟩ If you look in the top right at the clock, is it staying green or flashing yellow/red?
<queqiao->
⟨siimav⟩ Since when would that affect the stability of physics?
<queqiao->
⟨zombiezilla⟩ if its skipping physics steps, wouldn't that make it more unstable?
<queqiao->
⟨mullerraumdeuter⟩ the only mods that might affect physics that i have installed are joint reinforcement and distant object enhancement
<queqiao->
⟨siimav⟩ All the clock color says is that physics calculations take more than the intended 20ms.
<queqiao->
⟨Kirk (He/Him)⟩ KSP will never skip physics steps of you aren't in timewarp

⟨robbibi_⟩ (20ms is one game tick iirc)

⟨delta4162⟩ Just how bad is adding principia to an existing save? I hear it causes issues but I might be willing to make some sacrifices
<queqiao->
⟨qazerowl⟩ I would plan on losing any ongoing missions. After that, best case scenario is that principia will reset all of the planets to their positions in 1951. Worst case scenario, it starts applying N-body physics to them with their positions as they exist in your save, and incorrect inclinations/orbits could result in a collision which softlocks your save.

⟨delta4162⟩ Good to know, thanks
<queqiao->
⟨sichelgaita⟩ That's not how it works. The vessels in low orbit will be fine. The vessels on interplanetary trajectories may find that they are moving toward a place where the planet-used-to-be-but-is-not-anymore. Nothing gets reset to 1951.
<queqiao->
⟨delta4162⟩ I see, even better
<queqiao->
⟨delta4162⟩ Thanks
<queqiao->
⟨qazerowl⟩ So it dies just start applying N-body physics to the planets wherever they happen to be when the game loads?
