Dropped rock size
I wanna try making a semi accurate small scale USG Ishimura, ive already made a gravity "tether" but im annoyed that whenever i drop stone/rock or spawn it in, even if its weight is 100,000k, it remains miserably small, is there a mod that changes that, because i would really like to have my ishimura actually carrying a massive chunk of stone, currently i am jsut suing a version where there isnt any gravity tether and it just mines small chunks out of the crust of a moon, any suggestions would be aprecciated!

Stone size should be relative to the amount.

BUT
Your ship cannot carry a massive chunk of stone. Game won't allow it. If its floating stone, you can't lock onto it and it will despawn on its own after a bit. If its static then you can build on it, but then you will have a ship that won't move.

ShadedMJ, the ishimura isnt going to move with the stone, and the idea is its suspended in place using adjusted gravity generators to hold it in a gravitational lock, im just asking if theres a mod that removes the size cap limit on drop stone so it isnt staying only 3 meters id diameter, and yes, ive even tried going to as much as the game would allow me to spawn in and it made no difference to the size, a 200,000k stone is the same size as a 10k stone

You only said "actually carrying a massive chunk of stone" and it would have been better to mention using gravity generators. Since it cannot work at all in-game as the fiction states. Gravity generators go up to 1g each and planets block 1g each so gravity generators cannot be used on planets.

Asteroid still going to despawn after a bit. You could use sensors or cameras to detect its position shift and adjust gravity accordingly using a script. Setting it up will take quite a while, and its still likely going to get out of control.

ShadedMJ, i understand what you are saying but the planet issue wont be for me as its going to sit in space, im just looking for a mod that increases the size of the dropped rock
