⟨meta_system⟩ Hey guys! Principia is great so far, but I've got a few questions. I've been trying and failing to put a probe at the Minmus L5 point. I have now realised that the L4/L5 points rotate relative to the Kerbin-Minmus line, which is very confusing. I have achieved an orbit that looks somewhat stable, but isn't actually - it (relatively) quickly decays into an unsightly horseshoe orbit. However, the wiki says that "surprisingly",...
<queqiao->
... the Minmus L4 / L5 points are stable. What am I missing?
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ dont wanna sound like a broken record, but is there a way to see the biome of your predicted impact? (in surface frame) trying to make sure i get different science for my lunar landers
<queqiao->
⟨lpg4999⟩ no convenient way, no
<queqiao->
⟨lpg4999⟩ though simply looking at a real-world map of the moon with the mares identified comes pretty close to "convenient"
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ no real-world map has "lowlands", "midlands", and "highlands" :D
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ but yea, good point
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ oh actually, is there a biome map for rss?
<queqiao->
⟨lpg4999⟩ google has lots of them
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ there seem to be... 3, 1 of them being on a suspicious website
<queqiao->
⟨lpg4999⟩ (and then there's alt-f12, but presumably you want labels)
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ alt f12 shows biomes?
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ * has a biome map?
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ cant seem to find it, and only 1 of those has labels on it
<queqiao->
⟨clayel⟩ +meh, good enough for my purposes
