This does'nt seam to work for me in the 8/12/21 Update

I would make the smoke appear after the initial flame. It seems to start right up in the engine whereas it should be a product of the combustion and appear below the flames.

i love the mod, i dont take it's intention to be realistic. Its supposed to look cool and seems to be advertised that way.

thanks for your work !

when you burn liquid hydrogen with liquid oxygen you do not get any plume from the engine, look at the RS-25 or RS-67, they both run on hydrogen and they do not emit any black plume, that is because there is no carbon involved in the reaction

agree with psycho wrong color of smoke?

looks cool wile flying :selike:
TwitchingPsycho 27 Aug, 2020 @ 6:19am 
Shouldn't the smoke be white tho? 😅

lol, you're a total dickhead, XRCInfiniteXero

Yeah doesn't seem to work for me, I'm on Mars, have Hydro thrusters, tried all the /squality settings and nothin I just don't get any smoke. I'm gonna assume it doesn't work with another mod I'm running.

TL;DR : Also, not spam for anyone who says it is ; Salt is not present, just the probable presence of those who don't know how to read hating on those who do.... No disrespect intended probably.

Read the description, noob, before trying to say people in a phrase; '"The smoke even expands more when in space!"'....

For the imbeciles :

Atmosphere : A area denoted to be known as a relatively pressurised zone (standard measurements in atm (atmospheres) &/or Pa (Pascals) &/or N/m (Newtons per metre (relative to Physics by measure of kinematics))); the relative atmosphere having a zonal limit seperating the boundaries of space & the atmospheric area itself can often be viewed as the limit of pressurisation (See: Atmospheric Pressure Zones).
XRCInfiniteXero 14 Jul, 2020 @ 2:02pm 
Space (Noun ; Science , Physics) : An area denoted to have no or negligable pressure of that of a vacuum with non-exact volumes of measurement (does have volume, just relatively ignored when using the term space; not measured by standardised volumetric units).

TTLS01 : Things To Learn For Steam, also known as, Things To Learn Before Posting On Steam, is a phrase address to those with lack of intellect who extend their reach to criticise others without application of thought, or any synaptical aptitude within psychological means of observation, or within any aspect ; a common-knowledge of veteran Reddit & Steam users is to observe to not entertain such habits, having studied the terms applied to " irritants' " & not including any of the associated maneurisms to avoid being issured the tag, (prior there), a-for-mentioned.

Burn : What TTLS01 Noob "LaserWeaver" just got issued.

Thanks for the mod, just kindly introduce or add an alternate variant of the mod with the modification prior stated; appreciated whether you do or don't do it.

Also, once implemented, if implemented, kindly add a patch note to the description or a link in the description to the new mod with a link of both alternate mods to each other in their respective descriptions where applicable.

Thanks, GG.

This only works in atmosphere people
Nexi 26 Jun, 2020 @ 11:51am 
my hydro thrusters are making no smoke at all
Dorimanx 7 Jun, 2020 @ 5:27am 
Hydro only.
Aggressor 7 Jun, 2020 @ 4:52am 
It will give a smoke only for hydro engines or for atmo also ?
XRCInfiniteXero 4 Jun, 2020 @ 7:09pm 
@Jakaria Kindly : Would you make a version where smoke diminishes with the rate of atmospheric loss, for realism ? .... Where Possible : I would highly appreciate it ; Thanks .
AtakaJak 7 May, 2020 @ 5:19am 
I see you like Aragath's Frigate Design.

Be nice if you could reduce the smoke density for small thrusters. Or maybe even have a option to disable small thrusters smoke in a config file (if there isn't already).
W. Wolfe 2 May, 2020 @ 8:26pm 
great work man! glad to see an original idea. Allow color change and the nigh sayers will go away lol. cant wait to see some of your other ideas!
sixvitalblade 10 Apr, 2020 @ 5:53am 
The ship is a D.U.S.T cargo ship
Old Schmetterling 8 Apr, 2020 @ 5:03pm 
Whats that ship?
dRuPpI 27 Mar, 2020 @ 8:59pm 
think video is already outdated .. has been udated several times :lunar2019grinningpig:
Lykos666 26 Mar, 2020 @ 4:43pm 
particles look offset in the video. And are coming out of the thrusters. Which should be at the end of the flame exhaust. PLUS, since its hydrogen. It should be white smoke instead. Even though when hydrogen burns, its smoke is colorless. White would indicate that it is fusing with oxygen to create water.
UnCheat 24 Mar, 2020 @ 12:01pm 
Looks like it needs a slight offset for particles effect.
aycfes 24 Mar, 2020 @ 10:13am 
@╲⎝⧹Anonymous⧸⎠╱ that's from a solid booster, completely different from a hydrogen thruster.
tho i'd love some shock diamonds (like when ya use vacum optimized engines in an atmosphere) https://spacenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/raptor-test.jpg
High Lord Baron 24 Mar, 2020 @ 7:55am 
Hm, could you add more commands? Like the ability to activate it in space? As I said, would be perfect for my pirate vessel!
Flygtur 24 Mar, 2020 @ 6:46am 
Gw, but:

1. Why is the smoke black? Is it burning coal?

2. Why is it changing color at the end?

3. Why is it so short?
Mike Dude 24 Mar, 2020 @ 6:00am 
This is really cool! Few suggestions: Lighter color, longer trail, and increase emitter velocity so smoke doesn't kinda pool and clip through the ship as much (especially when hovering with large H2 thrusters). Looks like there is no smoke on Mars sadly. I like the idea of the smoke changing with atmosphere a lot. Ultimate mode would be a .cfg or .xml in the save storage folder where we could tweak color and settings to our preference!
RailgunMikoto 23 Mar, 2020 @ 9:44pm 
smoke is hard to see and practicly see through how do i fix this
⎝⧹Greedynuf⧸⎠ 23 Mar, 2020 @ 7:33pm 
@liquid_confidence it should be in your mods list in your world settings
liquid_confidence 23 Mar, 2020 @ 6:57pm 
So I like the idea of this but dont know how to use it. Its listed as a "Script" but is not in the list on my Prog Blocks.
🍁BuzzedBear🍁 23 Mar, 2020 @ 6:20pm 
LOL.. Climate Snowflakes everywhere are losing their minds!!!! LOOK AT ALL THE BLACK SMOKE!!! OMG!!! We're going to cause global warming on other planets!!! Wouldn't that be cool... we could actually have lakes with a bit of a greenhouse!
I'd make the smoke a light grey to white-ish smoke man... Other than that... STELLAR WORK!!
Big thumbs up!
ZABOR 23 Mar, 2020 @ 5:45pm 
only for the reason that it looks a little odd
ZABOR 23 Mar, 2020 @ 5:42pm 
looks good but i say the same thing as Anonymous
⎝⧹Greedynuf⧸⎠ 23 Mar, 2020 @ 5:34pm 
Looks great anyways!
⎝⧹Greedynuf⧸⎠ 23 Mar, 2020 @ 5:33pm 
Looks cool but maybe you could make it bright yellow or orange near the start of the engine and make it fade to gray. Like this http://www.quirkyscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Rocket.png just a suggestion
Viny 23 Mar, 2020 @ 3:05pm 
Good for Steampunk themed projects
† BigWerewolfDaddy † 23 Mar, 2020 @ 3:01pm 
My orkz boiz iz realli love it
Skallabjorn 23 Mar, 2020 @ 2:40pm 
is there a CFG file to keep the value on Dedicated Server restarts?
Dorimanx 23 Mar, 2020 @ 10:37am 
So to summary commands are:
/squality none
/squality low
/squality medium
/squality high

Can i request ultrahigh??? so smoke will be black and massive! like some heavy industry!
lest say you build a factory and place drive that always work and spitting heavy smoke!
How cool is that!
PLEASEEE :)
OctoBooze 23 Mar, 2020 @ 2:01am 
I love everything about this mod. Loved the Reavers in Serenity with their billowing engines chasing their prey and have been looking for that kind of dirty exhaust for forever. Awesome job
Streuwinkel 22 Mar, 2020 @ 7:15pm 
Good idea, but the flame and the smoke could blend better and be more of a light gray shade. It's mostly steam coming out of a H2 engine, I figure?
High Lord Baron 22 Mar, 2020 @ 6:33pm 
Yeah, maybe, but it looks cool!
aycfes 22 Mar, 2020 @ 4:40pm 
ya know, hydrogen combustion produces no smoke, at all
if anything, it may produce light, soft trails of steam
so, configs pls?
High Lord Baron 22 Mar, 2020 @ 2:27pm 
Hmmm. Just read that it doesn't work in space anymore.... To bad. Would have been a nice touch for my pirate vessel....
Jakaria  [author] 22 Mar, 2020 @ 1:45pm 
I updated with a lighter smoke color and the smoke doesn't spawn in space anymore.
Selak 22 Mar, 2020 @ 1:19pm 
not sure what all you did to make this work but would it be possible to also modify the smoke trail by the amount of atmosphere present. Then it would allow you to have a smoke trail but it would also be reduced to no actual trail when in space as the atmosphere is 0. Just a thought that i would have no idea how to implement myself.
Warlocc 22 Mar, 2020 @ 12:15pm 
I agree with the others that say smoke in space doesn't make a lot of sense, but I love the idea of combining this with some of the beat up and rusted armor skins.
DeAnti 22 Mar, 2020 @ 11:58am 
you are a beast
