It will not automatically add itself to your game, it needs to be manually placed. A quick Google search should explain how to do so

I can't find the planet. What are its coordinates?

Okay thanks. I'll try to get fairly close to get while keeping an eye on gravity.
Would prove for a good base against any hostile. But really bad for anything passive lol.

The Gravity ramps up over a significant distance. You should be safe for a fairly decent amount of time. Just keep an eye on the Gravity intensity as you approach.

Any advise on how to get close to the Gas Giant? I want to setup a space station next to it. But unsure how much thrust is needed.

Slowly eating the ship is more sim intensive and doesn't eat the ship fast enough.

Doing so this way saves performance both in how it deals out damage, and that it will destroy your ship well before reaching the planets surface, Preventing voxel deformation.

It would be fun to have a planet with an insensible amount of gravity. It could even be some anomaly. I've got a mod planet with 4G, a mod of a mod called Helghan. Crashing ships onto the surface is kind of finnicky when they're very heavy, but it works fine.

It is absolutely amazing to find the kind of design decisions that go into rovers and ships supposed to work in that environment.

Either way, the script would look nicer if it did damage to the outermost blocks every 500ms, rather than deleting random chunks of a ship with such a large interval. You Would be able to see your armor crunching up under that pressure. Applying forces along the axis of gravity on the ship would be even more amazing. Guess you're not doing that, ever.

The camera being forced to spin actually sucks, it could be much more fun if there was some kind of sin(x,y) assigned to player velocity, that way it looks and feels like you're being blown about by the extreme winds.

No, even if it didn't have the script there would be nothing of interest on the surface anyway, and far to much gravity to ever be habitable

P.S. the gravity is strongest at its poles for some reason

Any version without the stupid spinning camera, blockus deletus script

That's far more information than I can put in to a simple Reply.

There are numerous written and video guides you can look at to start your own, in addition the Keen Discord has lots of people you can ask for help if you get stuck on something.

If i may ask, how you create custom planets like that?

30g ????? Wtf oO

Well if you did that would certainly explain it. That mod changes gravity fall off from 7 to 2, which drastically increases the size of the gravity well.

Maybe I dont remember it was long ago I was just trying to create a world for a server

Are you using the mod "Real Orbits"?

@Novum33 In my save i was out of the gravity well after going around 200km from the planet's center. If you had to place it that far away, then you have something else interfering with it. The gravity shouldn't be anywhere near that far out.

Unless it was changed

Basically just scroll out until the planet is a tiny speck

@Flint about 10,000km

Gravity well range is dependent on its size. Bigger you make it, further it will reach.

That said, i was just tinkering with a moon range on my own world setup for this and ended up placing mine 225km from the planet's center.

I don't recall if the version i placed was 100km or 120km but it was somewhere in that range. I imagine 250km apart would be a safe bet.

As for the moon gravity, that's up to you

Hey Greetings, we planed to use ur Gas Giant on our new Server. What is the maximum Distance to place a Moon on this Gas Giant and what Gravity would be then on the Moon then? Would be nice to know that. Thx a lot

I build these to use in servers i help run, and thus is how i need it setup. Its not going to work for everyone, but that's why i allow re-uploads.

If you don't like it, learn to design your own planets

Its actually slightly more gravity than the sun (for perspective the sun has 27 gs due to the surface density being low, Jupiter has 3 gs, This thing has 30 the entire solar system would orbit this thing with ease

It has 10x the gravity of jupiter and something like 500x the range

Its 10gs past the orbit of where the farthest moon would be thats rediculous

Not going to happen, for the same reason i won't modify Orion. This is setup this way because that is how i need it for the purpose i built it.

If it doesn't work for your setup, then modify and re-upload it as unlisted.

The nearest moon I can make makes the planet look like a little spot

Please lower the gravity a little, Its a beautiful planet but Im not allowed to have any moons or fly a ship close enough to apreciate the planet
