Now just need to remove the land requirement for selecting the area your ship arrives at.

can you make a mod that removes sound from space and call it something like "in space no one can hear you scream"

I wanted so badly to be able to temporarily generate larger maps when I launch into empty space, so I made a mod for it

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3543638542

This mod is a great idea, but the map that is generated by going into an empty space in orbit is tiny, my gravship basically takes up like 80% of the space. I hope you have some way of making an update that has bigger map sizes.

There's like 5 autosaves kept at all times. I have mine set to half-day, that's just the mod life

Bro my ship is gone... Dont know if I have a bug or what but my ship and all of my people are done... As soon as I jut into orbit nothing happend and then it autosaved. Now I am looking at nothing but space with no people and no ship. I dont know if I am doing somehting wrong or what.

that wouldnt make sense since ur in orbit?

Would it be possible to make the thruster animation keep playing to give the illusion that the ship is still flying ? anyways, this mod is very cool

Hey mod author, if you'd like maps to just be the map size set upon world generation this will do it. When Rimworld generates a map it looks for this field in the XML and resizes it to the Gravship, minimum of 100x100 size if the gravship is smaller than that.

I'll be testing this on my own game

so, no raids? or just center drop?

There is a mod for custom map size called Better Map Sizes (Continued).

It would be nice to have a bigger map. Running out of space buidling my spacestation as I need quite a big space for the ship and open platforms for raids to land so they dont crash into my pressuried rooms lol.

But can we reverse the polarity and launch into full cave?

add the sea too please

I would like to know how raids work. A lot less useful to be in empty space if it makes raids just crash into you and destroy your pressurization lol

The comments are beautiful, never stop rimworld community.

You guys telling them to hush don't understand sci-fi fans lol.

This is exactly what i've been wanting!

does landing on empty space have a change for the grav engine to malfunction?

Enemy raids? Do they just land on your ship with this?

Please make the generated map larger

For such a sandboxy and creative game, people love taking it seriously

rimworld players can be so humorless. chill yall

无需考虑为什么能停，问就是反重力

Why are all these comments arguing about trying to use real world physics for an optional mod in a place as far away from physics as possible with hits psychic wizard courts and vampires fighting cannibals for control of a shared food source?

@Higarian It does because it's sci-fi, it may not be possible to build something like this nowadays but it "could". Trying to work the math for that is no sin.

@vanillaification tenically, you are flyng an anti gravity ship that can bend gravity. So no math we have has any point here

is it possible to add a setting for map size? By default, only a 100x100 space is available for placement, which is a bit too small for building a large space station

@Benetrator its impossible for this orbit to be geostationary, its far, far, FAR too low to the ground

Earth low orbit is around 200x200km, geostationary is 35,786x35,786km

and while yes it depends on how fast the planet rotates and all but the rimworld has a 24hr day as well, and is presumably a similar size to Earth as well

either way it doesnt matter because its a videogame where magic exists lmao

Gabriel message was just an IA message with a steam porn profile (pornhubpl) -_-

Also who is saying that the orbit is not geostationary?

*Steel does burn, but it requires a lot of heat than typical flames.

@GABRIEL: correct. In other news, you can't have true reactionless drives, you need far more than seven hundred watts to smelt steel, farmland can't continuously provide food without regular time to naturally recover nutrients, hydroponics does not work with just electricity, guns require ammunition, magic doesn't exist, bulk steel doesn't burn, genetic differences on the level of xenotypes make two species non-interfertile, a realistic gravship would not require gravlite panels, you can't create both energy and toxic waste from nothing, and human children age twenty-four times slower than the "humans" do in the game. Maybe save your energy for games that try to be realistic.

@GABRIEL aerospace Why is your comment a link lol

Orbiting doesnt't work that way, gravity you're basically going sideways so fast, that you avoid crashing into the earth each time, and zero gravity is a lie, everything moves the same to each other ting in a given orbit, so it looks like there is no gravity, but they're all just falling the same way.

Good hehe

Based

This mod lets me pretend to go space voyaging

is it possible to increase the bounds? Even using god mode it just stops you from building at a certain point. it feels smaller than a normal map

@Anon Ragebait used to be believeable.

While I can understand the need for this.... it also does make the game ez mode for research/hydro food gathering, etc. You cannot be affected by like 99% of the bad events that can happen. Just stay in space...

@Anon dont cry. Tynan literally added (in previous dlc) sub levels that are inraidable. And i this we have sub levels that are inraidable and uninfestable.

@Anon Phoebe is RIGHT there

Thank you! Wanted this from day one and wondered why it wasn't a thing. So excited.

@Lordawesome well, you're in a low orbit, so the gravity still applies to you, hence why you can walk on the asteroids instead of just drift through the space. The gravship is too weak to support itself for too long, so it needs to land somewhere or else it would crash onto the planet.

Because Tynan cannot fathom a game without constant enemy raids, so he forced always being next to some ground where he can spawn enemies that use the usual ground attack mechanics. Too bad he is too lazy to design raids that can out of the vacuum of space.

Space station time

Yesssssssssss

Always bugged me that you can't just fly to orbit and be in orbit, you have to land on some body. Not cool.

my god It's really not in base game ?? Thanks...
