No Jetpack on Planets or moons

Description
The jetpack won't let you fly on planets or moons, for both male and female engineers. It will still work in space.

Useful for more of a challenge in gravity.

The relevant values this file adjusts are, for both male and female engineers:

<ForceMagnitude>300</ForceMagnitude>
<EffectivenessAtMinInfluence>1</EffectivenessAtMinInfluence>

2022-09-17: Updated to use current characters.sbc
2018-10-25: Updated character defintions for new oxygen refilling in atmosphere mechanism.

Oh I gotcha, they alter teh same thing so its one or the other. Shame about the jetpack as well, I thought you had set the speed in space as a realism thing but thats how you actually get it to not work on a planet. Maybe Keen will add a dropdown one day like welder speed, Realistic, x3, x5

The way this adjustment works is that it alters a file (content\data\characters.sbc) that controls values for the player model. Male and female jetpack has different settings, but its the same file, which also contains inventory settings for each model. Any mod that also overwrite this file would conflict with it, and to have both you'd need to make a mod that contains both changes for jetpack and inventory. I'd guess the mod last in the load order wins out there. Same if you use mods that provide more player models, they have their own values for jetpack.

I'm not sure if its possible to find some setting that gives more performance in space while still disallowing lift in natural gravity, right now it cuts the thrust to about 1/10th.

Oddly there appears to be a conflict with the "10x personal inventory on 1x setting" mod, though I think this is on their end as this mod still works but the inventory mod doesn't. I intend to let them know as well.

Also I was wondering if you could release another version with normal or closer to normal jetpack thrust when not in gravity as the current values appear too low IMHO? That way players could pick which mod of yours to sub to while still enjoying your hard work to have realistic settings!

This is just a tweak to make the jetpack very weak, just a value edit in an xml. I tried making it even weaker but then you'd barely move even in space. Might be some middle setting, dunno.

is there a way to make the jetpack fail in any gravity? Including gravity generators?

Moons count as planets.
