Kerbal Space Program 2: Episode 2 - The Kerbals

[@MattLowne]

I tell myself that Kerbals can sustain themselves entirely through sunlight via photosynthesis, so I don't feel too bad about banishing them to an Eeloo colony without any food or water for a few centuries

[@2KOOLURATOOLGaming]

I would like to join you in this conclusion. My conscience is clear!

[@KarolOfGutovo]

Wouldn't that mean that Eeloo colonists are constantly starving due to how dark it is there?

[@jm56585]

Yeah lol

[@l1ttel_y699]

Not convincing. You made rescue missions more than how many kerbals you have banished.

[@si-figuy6196]

Don't plants need water?

[@tangydiesel1886]

Pilots should lean in, scientists and engineers should flail, IMO.

[@galfisk]

I think that'd look great.

[@TheGamingScientist]

this, and the thing from someone else saying that only higher skill levels should lean in, are very good ideas. And, as Scott mentioned, making it an option should be a win-win(although I get that it could be more work to animate)

[@tighe143]

At least make Jeb and Val lean in.

I think it should be based on stupidity as well.

[@stevegoodson9022]

Rescue missions, always my favourite part of KSP, giving you a genuine reason to get to a particular place. Especially interesting if that place is way out in deep space on a nonsensical trajectory you discovered by an accidental gravity assist. And however your rescuee got there, the rocket they used should be reasonably easy to modify for a rescue mission.

[@snoodge-cv7fj]

idk, it depends on the person, one time my brother left Jeb stranded in orbit of the sun for 8 years

[@jansenart0]

Scott was right, but only about leveled kerbals. The more experience they have, they better they should be at judging and reacting to gee forces.

Or it could be based on stupidity

[@jansenart0]

@@alessiobenvenuto5159 It would just look silly for pros to be reacting the same as nubs. Even the dumb ones wouldn't want to feel the strain of being in the wrong physical position (or worse, turning their head in a high-G maneuver).

[@daskampffredchen]

@@jansenart0 Maybe they could become less stupid with each level

[@jansenart0]

@@daskampffredchen Well, stupidity in KSP1 only governs how little a Kerbal will react to a life-threatening situation; the higher the stupidity, the less they understand the gravity of their situation. As they say, it's a fine line between being stupid and being a badS

9:32 asking the most cursed question you can ask a KSP player.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

What are Kerbals made of? Human emotions! They are 100% the embodiment of our emotions. That's why their reactions are always dialed to 11, regardless of what they're experiencing. Joy, Fear, Awe, Bewilderment, Confusion, Melancholy. Which, to play off of Matt Lowne's comment: I feel that's why they don't need sustenance, as the energy OF the emotion is what sustains them. Therefore, in my mind, a stranded Kerbal could only ""die"" if they were to stop being excessively emotive. As soon as the fear or panic (what have you) subsides, they are no more. To that end, I don't think I've seen a Kerbal be rendered unconscious, that could just be my inexperience with KSP, but IF that mechanic is not in the game, it only helps my 'theory' about them even more. Because when you're rendered unconscious............ you are unable to express emotion! ;) So for a Kerbal, to be rendered unconscious is equatable to death; thus, my justification for its absence! :P _(I'm not sure I can qualify g-LOC since it sounds like it's rather brief? If not, then I'll happily take back that aspect of my 'lore' lol)_ - *_ALSO_** ..... KSP2 PLEASE DON'T RUN ON UNITY, PLEASE DON'T RUN ON UNITY* 🙏🙏🙏 I really don't want KSP2 to have all the limitations of KSP1 due to Unity Engine's horrible (lack-of) multithreading at the Engine's core, like is the case with LITERALLY every single Unity powered game I own, where when things get too complex (ie physics calculations), the game grinds to a halt... :( KSP, People Playground, Planet Nomads, SimplePlanes, Valheim, Besiege, Universe Sandbox... Those are all successful/popular enough _(maybe not People Playground)_ and properly illustrate my point. Unity was/is great for its designed purpose of easy to make games during a time when computers were only dual core and a serial threaded application worked just as well, only reinforced by smartphones where it really took off, which remained single or dual core for a looong time. Sadly, the engine evolved and gained popularity, being available as cross-platform, and it is certainly capable of making GORGEOUS environments... But sadly the code at its center seems stuck in 2005 and my understanding is that to give it modern capabilities (ie parallel threading) down to the *core* level would simply take way too much work. (Presumably the Unity group feels they are doing fine as is and that effort is too monumental. So please don't make another great game that uses Unity, which ultimately gets hampered by the engine's limitations! Which is there's physics involved, the engine will be unable to keep up by trying to calculate it when it has to track """too much stuff"" (for a serial thread to handle), and thereby cause framerate to suffer since it can only refresh things after those thousands of other calculations are finished. :( _[NOTE: Graphics _*_settings_*_ are irrelevant, which is why I included People Playground and Universe Sandbox, being almost purely physics based games]_ /RANT _EDIT: I see YoutTube hates line breaks. Yay :( So hopefully I was able to make it a bit less of a word-wall now._

Here is my version of how a life support system could be implemented: Let's take inspiration from the CommNet system. That one also makes the game harder, but improves realism and challenge. The main component is a "morale" value for each crewmember. This can change by several conditions, including food supply, "comfort" of habitat modules (bigger free space, artifical gravity or better views means bigger comfort) or if the atmosphere outside is breathable. Morale ties into the existing bonuses the crew provides, like converter efficiency - higher morale means bigger bonuses, while low morale will substract bonuses. There should also be more things that need the presence of a crew, to accomodate for the extra complexity with them. This system approximates relatively well the real problems of tending to a crew, while being simple and forgiving enough. There could also be tweakable modifiers to this system for those seeking extra or less challenge, like losing reputation for each crewmember that has low morale, or turning the system off entirely.

The key thing about Kerbals for me is that I need to get them home safely. It stops you from just letting your ship fly off never to be seen again. It gives you a mission to get them home.
