Guys, you're playing a game where the sun revolves around the Earth calm the hell down.

I agree with @Kill3rCat [1st FORECON]. Even if it's just a "game mod," realism adds to immersion and overall fun. I would pay more attention to it.

I disagree, but ok :)

Dude, relax, it's just a game mod. There is no point to put a gravity lower than 0.027G.

For reference, that's 3.2 times the density of pure uranium

If we wanted to be fair, considering it's Space Engineers and all the planetary bodies are much smaller than their real-life counterpart, we can give Ceres a diameter instead of only twice your planet; it's still 29.6 times as dense as Ceres.

Lets use a real-life body as an example. Ceres will do nicely.

Ceres in real life has a surface gravity of 0.027g. It has a mass of 8.96x10^20 kg and a diameter of 946 km. This gives it a density of 2.08 g/cm^3. This is roughly twice the density of water.

Your planetoid has a 'in lore' diameter of 19 km and a surface gravity of 0.1g. Given its radius and surface gravity, it would realistically have a mass 9007.2 times that of real-life Ceres. Contained within a volume 123427.7 times smaller. Thus its density must be 1111737979.4 times greater than that of Ceres. To be fair, it's still a hundred times less dense than your typical neutron star.

This dwarf planet has many heavy minerals at its core. This makes the planet very dense and consequently increases its gravity.

Don't you think the gravity is a little high?

Awesome, thank you for this mod!!
