L2[00:10:28] <funkenstein> For some reason when I first built a small plane in KSP it landed and handled beautifully, but now when I try to make the most simple plane possible to get to the island runway or the nearby mountains for some science, anything I build handles like absolute mystery goo, especially under 100m/s.
L3[00:11:12] <funkenstein> What am I doing so wrong? I have my CoM about one goo-length ahead of my CoL
L4[00:13:23] <raptop> I'd wildly guess something with control surface location
L5[00:13:31] <raptop> Maybe previously they were farther from the CoM
L6[00:13:55] <funkenstein> They're at the wingtips and edges of the main wings

L121[19:03:51] <darsie> Bug: This aircraft produces thrust under water (even when the air intake is under water): https://0x0.st/o748.png
L122[19:04:41] <Althego> it used to
L123[19:04:45] <darsie> I tested the engine while splashed down on Kerbin.
L124[19:04:56] <Althego> it doesnt need to actually work
L125[19:05:06] <Althego> i usually just slap it on a tiny solid bbooster
L126[19:05:22] <darsie> and a chute
L127[19:05:50] <darsie> We shoudn't say chute. Chute mean fall and parachute means against fall.
L128[19:06:28] <darsie> We also shouldn't say atom, when we mean the particles which can be split.
L129[19:06:48] <SporkWitch> technically it would be 'chute, to show we're abbreviating, but people are lazy, and it's so ubiquitous people just understand the intent
L130[19:07:21] <darsie> Same with toms. ppl know what we mean if we say atoms.
L131[19:08:08] <SporkWitch> also, technically, atom was chosen because at the time it was thought it was the smallest particle and couldn't be split further, hence the discrepancy between the name's meaning and reality
L132[19:08:16] <darsie> mhm
L133[19:08:31] <darsie> Paraglider is weird, too. It means against gliding.
L134[19:08:39] <Althego> hehe
L135[19:08:44] <darsie> :)
L136[19:09:05] <Althego> languages are full of stuff like that
L137[19:09:08] <Althego> inflammable
L138[19:09:20] <Althego> anybody who says that needs a slap instantly
L139[19:09:28] <SporkWitch> "We also shouldn't say atom, when we mean the particles which can be split." this one just reminds me of that physics paper that's written in purely germanic english: https://youtu.be/IIo-17SIkws?t=190
L140[19:09:30] <Althego> because it means absolutely nothing
L141[19:09:33] <packbart> see also: Ultra High Frequency in laughable MHz ranges
L142[19:11:03] <SporkWitch> etymonline says "defense, protection against" as the latin root on para, so "paraglider" makes sense if we consider the glider the means of defense
L143[19:14:36] <SporkWitch> other weird issues crop up if it's a neologism, rather than something following more traditional etymology, e.g. paralympics, not referring to the latin "para" but rather "paraplegic," which follows a far more convoluted etymological path from the same latin "para" root
L144[19:14:56] <darsie> From Ancient Greek παρά (pará, “beside; next to, near, from; against, contrary to”).
L145[19:16:51] <darsie> From French para-, from Italian para-, from para, imperative of parare (“to defend, shield, shroud”), from Latin parō (“I prepare”).
L146[19:17:23] <SporkWitch> in the end it's all filthy romance infection of my lovely germanic english! lol
L147[19:19:02] <Althego> do all kerbals speak the same language?
L148[19:20:20] <SporkWitch> i'm going to use the potential for space races in KSP2, combined with what competitive play and mods will mean for outright warfare, to say there's lore justification to say "no"
L149[19:20:59] <packbart> does a hive mind have a language?
L150[19:21:18] <Althego> wouldnt be a hive mind
L151[19:21:25] <darsie> Althego: Do the mobile ones talk at all?
L152[19:21:33] <SporkWitch> a hive mind has no need for language, it would only complicate things. Language is necessary to convey ideas indirectly; a hive mind simply knows

L170[19:29:21] <packbart> ack. I added them to Chatterer for that reason
L171[19:30:58] <SporkWitch> it would be a nice touch if they added some exclamations and general mutterings to the kerbals in KSP2. I think it'd be hilarious to hear a scream when things explode lol
L172[19:31:22] <Althego> you can just see them scream
L173[19:31:27] <Althego> currently at least
L174[19:31:41] <Althego> but a lot of tiny touches are there, like head movements for acceleration
L175[19:31:45] <Althego> so i can imagine sounds too
L176[19:31:53] <SporkWitch> you can, and they're putting a lot of work into making them even more expressive and to react to the forces applied to them, which is why i don't think attaching some voices as well wouldn't be out of the question

L180[19:34:44] <Althego> doesnt seem to rotat
L181[20:02:16] <SporkWitch> Althego: did you mean at the very end? it's because they didn't have it fully open so they didn't have the full water pressure on it; when they hit hte drill that controls the valve, you see it spin real nice
L182[20:02:38] <Althego> yes, the end
L183[20:03:12] <SporkWitch> yeah, they only had it partially open so they could see when they'd bled all the air and make sure they had it lined up right; once they had it set, they opened it all the way

L228[23:07:25] <SporkWitch> funkenstein: not if it's attached / docked. Sending it to the lab is a button like keep or transmit, unlike transmit it requires a physical connection to the lab, but you don't need to go and manually grab it. Just review the experiment result and click the flask button

L254[23:14:33] <funkenstein> On eve
L255[23:14:41] <funkenstein> Preferably not in an ocean
L256[23:14:52] <SporkWitch> i prefer 共匪
L257[23:14:53] <raptop> As long as the rover isn't coming back, that doesn't seem like an excessive problem?
L258[23:15:02] <Izaya> Eve is probably easier than a lot of places, assuming you don't want to come back :D
L259[23:15:27] <SporkWitch> and yeah, higher gravity tends to mean better rover behaviour, just make sure you have good structural support as that gravity is punishing
L260[23:15:39] <funkenstein> It's just that I haven't got the Atlas parts unlocked yet. I meant to, but I clicked the wrong node in R&D
L261[23:15:52] <SporkWitch> assemble in orbit?

L274[23:17:32] <raptop> Historically Accurate Atlas(tm) that uses a Poodle and 2x LV-T30, then drops the engines at like 20-30 km
L275[23:17:45] <SporkWitch> saturn 5 with asperagus staging on top: for all your heavy payload needs

L278[23:19:25] <LunchBot> Added mission: You find it shameful that the Atlas rocket wasn't named for the moth.
L279[23:19:54] <SporkWitch> if it was it'd fly right into the sun

L281[23:20:49] <Izaya> 1.875m LV-T45 stack my beloved
L282[23:21:00] <funkenstein> A good deal of my weight is in a fuel tank, I assumed if I wanted to ascend hills on eve I would need to do so under rocket power
L283[23:21:11] <funkenstein> Would that be correct
L284[23:22:05] <SporkWitch> depends how steep. i'd almost think it easier since the main issue i find with rover handling is traction in low gravity
L285[23:23:01] <funkenstein> I don't know how steep it gets on Eve, if duna was any sort of example I will have trouble
L286[23:23:11] <funkenstein> Brb
L287[23:23:17] <SporkWitch> then clearly the only solution is to build a mech

L293[23:27:44] <SporkWitch> fiddle around with the various traction and friction values
L294[23:28:18] <SporkWitch> always necessary; if it wasn't so close to KSP2 i'd have started creating a spreadsheet of what settings on which wheels work best on which body; getting them right makes a HUGE difference
L295[23:30:08] <darsie> funkenstein: Switch symmetry modes. There are keys.
L296[23:30:25] <darsie> Eve coast is steep, I think.

L305[23:35:58] <funkenstein> Wheels work, no steering. Is that normal for the XL3s
L306[23:37:07] <SporkWitch> i think some of the larger wheels work tank-style, rather than actually turning
L307[23:37:48] <funkenstein> There's no response to any command but w for forward
L308[23:37:58] <funkenstein> And s
L309[23:38:03] <SporkWitch> how many wheels?
L310[23:38:05] <packbart> yeah, the XL3 don't turn. they use differential steering (one side goes faster)
L311[23:38:08] <funkenstein> Four
L312[23:38:28] <SporkWitch> how spread out? might need to add more
L313[23:38:45] <funkenstein> Evenly around the center of mass
L314[23:38:45] <packbart> is the control point set correctly?
L315[23:39:07] <funkenstein> Nope it was set to up o_0
L316[23:39:15] <SporkWitch> lol
L317[23:39:42] <funkenstein> Dunno how I missed the lack of horizon on the navball
L318[23:42:28] <funkenstein> ;mission
L319[23:42:28] <LunchBot> You build a space bus. You are pinned to the ceiling by the reactor vessel plug.
L320[23:42:50] <SporkWitch> ... you're not supposed to use the plug that way...
L321[23:43:32] <funkenstein> That's what she said
L322[23:44:50] <raptop> [ed note: the outcome is a reference to SL-1]
L323[23:46:01] <SporkWitch> it's rocketry, you're never escaping the phallic references lol
L324[23:46:27] <funkenstein> Interesting. I used cheats to do a test drive on Eve and found holding forward while alternating the left and right controls I can go 8 times as fast
L325[23:46:53] <packbart> yeah, it's a "feature" of the differential steering
L326[23:47:18] <funkenstein> That's not how it works on cars in my experience
L327[23:47:19] <funkenstein> Lol
L328[23:47:24] <packbart> wiggling left and right accelerates beyond the weels' max speed
L329[23:47:24] <SporkWitch> things like that are pretty common physics bugs in games; watch any speedrun, 9/10 involve diagonal movement, especially in older games that just did hard movement speed limits

L333[23:51:07] <FLHerne> at least it's not Over The Road Racing where you can reach infinite speed in reverse
L334[23:51:27] <funkenstein> What
L335[23:51:57] <SporkWitch> that was an exploit in portal, too lol
L336[23:52:21] <funkenstein> ;mission add You shift into reverse and break the light speed record.
L337[23:52:21] <LunchBot> Added mission: You shift into reverse and break the light speed record.
L338[23:52:41] <SporkWitch> by facing the opposite direction of movement when you land from a jump, the slow-down force is applied in the wrong direction, accelerating you instead of slowing you back down to the speed limit lol
L339[23:52:56] <funkenstein> Hilarious
L340[23:52:58] <SporkWitch> think it was portal that had that bug...
L341[23:53:17] <FLHerne> https://youtu.be/pplzaxPGnvs?t=880
L342[23:53:58] <funkenstein> I managed 28m/s on a 15 degree incline on eve, but going downhill caused a tilt then a front flip
L343[23:54:18] <funkenstein> Which should be more difficult in a 4 meter tall rover
L344[23:54:43] <funkenstein> With a wheelbase of about 6 meters, I think?
