@JanusSpaceIndustries cheers, you too
the earliest i can release a guide is likely autumn break, which for me is like around late october but i'm not sure
@JanusSpaceIndustries alright, alright
really i'm just sick of people constantly forcing me to help with/do their stuff, i have a limit so i can tolerate it for a while but once that limit is exceeded (like here) i won't be nice to them anymore
that said, you at least handled the situation correctly and actually apologized, unlike other people who just got sad or angry and made up some bullfeces excuse, so in this case i'll accept the apology (very rare thing for me to do) and i'll keep helping occasionally, just don't ask me about it all the time please
by the way, i suggest you also ask other planet builders for help, as my skill has a limited ceiling (right now it's just heavily modified templates (like Merak), and basic blank template planets with 1 to 4 biomes) and i think it'd be a good tactic to go over what i already told you before and use those as a basis of sorts and then add others' advice onto that
if, by chance, you have bad memory like i do, you could write or copypaste the tutorials/tips down in a notepad or text file or whatever and then open it whenever you need to
there's a modded comnand chip out there with 30 AG slots, i'll try to find the link for it
edit: here
it used to also give 50 color slots but that no longer seems to work
@JanusSpaceIndustries you keep dragging me into everything, i'm not omni-intelligent about planet building, you know?
when i have the time to make a guide i'll make one, but for now please leave me alone
@NebulaSpaceAgency Apple devices are actually known to have worse memory compared to their counterparts, which is why they typically experience game crashes more commonly (same reason why i game crash so much in Roblox games, just as an example), though of course if one can get a super beefy device it will be able to run RSS but it can still risk your files
yes, it is possible to delete your account
if you wanna do that, here's how
1. go to your own profile
2. click "account settings"
3. click "manage account"
4. scroll down to the very bottom
5. a "delete account" button will be there
upon deleting your account, all of your posts on it will also be deleted
you can try to reduce the mass of the turret, that usually helps but not always
alternatively, you could also try the "stability modifier", you will need to open advanced part settings, enable show advanced/hidden properties, and stability modifier will appear in tinker panel, set it to anywhere from 5 to 25, as any more can result in weird stuff
i have two questions that are related to eachother:
1. via the new PS modifier things (those "update data" or whatever they were called), is it still possible to specify what the mod should add in what place, even if one does not/can not have the mod installed? (context: i want to add trees and stuff to my own planets when it comes out, but i only play on mobile and thus modding is unsupported — obviously, i will try to find a tester who has a beefy PC and the mod so that they can test it and tell me if i did anything wrong with the setup)
2. will there be an official guide as to what one can input into said "update data" modifier thing(s) so that we can know what does what? as an example: 1 = rocks, 2 = grass, 3 = flowers, 4= trees, etc. i'm just using numbers in this example since i noticed that the values used by the modifiers are float, double, 3D vector, and 4D vector — the latter two i assume could be used for RGB color and RGB+alpha (opacity) respectively, so the two "number" ones (float & double) could only really be used for deciding what type of object to use
@Mostly is it possible that an artwork based in a custom system (rather than stock Juno) can also become a loading screen?
or can loading screen submissions only be artwork taking place in the stock system?
@JanusIndustries i don't play JNO/SR2 on my phone, i play it on my ipad lol
and no, it's not more accessible lmao
ever since like 1.0 my file editor refuses to make the game's planet files show up no matter how much i try, and this is the main reason why i might have to cancel several upcoming updates (ZG 2.1 and 2.2, most VB additions, etc)
as others have said:
1. find system file in the entire jumble of the game files
2. find the thing which you want to change the orbit of
3. find the SMA number (should be pretty big)
4. add more zeroes
@LurinEsparrago oof
if the error persists even with the solution i've figured out myself, then unfortunately i can't help any further since i haven't encountered the bug in months
i've previously experienced a very similar issue that i named the "engine cutoff bug" (ECUB), it also involves entering planet SOI's that causes the orbit to break and makes engines not work (i've made a few posts about it, will add links soon)
it's quite possible that we're dealing with the same bug, but strangely, for me the bug has ceased to exist since around version 1.0 came out and i can enter all planet SOI's fine without the ECUB happening, but strangely it still affects you somehow
i do know a temporary fix for this though:
you need to make a simple planet (blank template works best) and add a launch location on it, and i suggest you also set its size to the minimum
then, add this planet as a moon to the planet that causes the bug, update launch spots, and save the system
after that, spawn in the temporary new planet and land on the bugged planet and save a launch location, then go back to get rid of the temporary planet and its launch spot from the system editor
you could also try simply adding a launch spot to the bugged planet itself, not sure if that works though
yeah it's a weird bug, in some systems it only shows as having Juno in it, no idea why it does that, and i also dunno if downloading a system like that actually works or not
@LeMagicBaguette i am aware of my mental issues, i just don't really care about them, and it's too late to fix them anyways
essentially, i know it's a big issue, but won't do much about it because i'm lazy and useless
i won't claim i'm "immune" to my mental issues, i think we can both agree that that is kinda bullfeces, but i'll still be tanking them while i can regardless, if i can no longer tank it i'll just tell my parents or something and then go to a therapist etc etc
@JanusIndustries basically, go to atmosphere tab, hit the arrows where it says "sky" and there should be one where it's "terrain" instead of "sky", there will be noon color, sunset color, and ambient lighting for day/night respectively
out of those, adjusting the noon color will give the result you're looking for, however the daytime ambient lighting also works like this when closer to the surface
@JanusIndustries iirc the terrain gen tab is the one with two triangles/mountains, this button is also reused for the button for toggling between basic and advanced mode
if you want to change the spectral type, for the default star template, you need to go into advanced mode in the terrain tab and you should see "color gradient" or something like that, this defines the colors that the "surface" will use, you can define points with a given color and it will automatically have smooth transitions
you will also need to mess with the atmosphere and fog shader so that it matches the "surface" as well
if you want to get the color right, use a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram or a color chart like this one found in another wiki page
@Luckwut that clashes with number 4 though
as i said, i'm too lazy to make a planet with a quality higher than "severely modified template" or "generic altitude-based-biome planet"
i don't know if this is what you're looking for, but there is a "Time to Apoapsis/Periapsis" parameter, in the tab with the control panel icon, the second block "orbit (Apoapsis)" has a drop-down menu in which a "Time to Apoapsis/Periapsis" can be found, which you should be able to use with any kind of mathematical operation
it's a bit hard to explain, but you will need to make an extra set of craters and use its mask input to make it only show up near the equator
to get that, first get a "get position" and set the "Y" output into a non-zero value, and feed that into a "remap (curve)", then make it so that it has a peak in the center (very similar to what i described in your previous post)
after that, feed the output into the "mask" of the craters you're using for the equatorial craters
i don't know if this works or not, i haven't tested it lol
as always, if you want me to demonstrate it then i'll upload a planet for it
@Luckwut ah damn i don't wanna make an account for that
