FreeIVA even simulates the coriolis effect in gravity rings. When you jump straight up you drift sightly spin-wards. The distance depends on the size and speed of the ring. I love that so much.

To make IVAs even better, you should get DE-iva extendor. Adds clickable buttons, and with rasterpropmonitor, adds screens that you can use to control your spacecraft. I honestly can't live without these mods, since now you can shut the hud off, and fly your rockets from the cockpit.

The game may have reached the end of its development cycle, but the community is still going strong and modders keep pumping out new content.

Fun fact: the reason there is a gym on that gravity ring is because isn't at full kerbin/earth gravity! If you look at the rings information in he VAB, it says it only produces 0.5G (probably for better structurally integerity and less motion sickness from a lower rotation speed). 0.5G is enough to reduces to effects of low gravity but you will still definitely face issues. thus the gym would hopefully fix everything.

[@judet2992]

It actually goes up to .57, you can see it when you right click on the ring when it’s spinning

[@dromaeosaurid]

The IVA views are a good representation of how the spin rate is nuts and how massive a gravity ring you'd need to get a 1g spin!

[@danilooliveira6580]

I mean... people would still need to exercise either way even if it was 1g. exercises are just good for your physical and mental health.

If you look closely at the rotating habitat modules, there are already counter-rotating rings towards the inside of it. Presumably some super-dense material spinning at a higher speed than the habitat itself.

Matt, if you loved freeiva you will LOVE Raster Prop Monitor. It adds fully functioning IVA controls to all the command pods with super customizable screens and a million different functional switches and buttons and dials, and it’s legitimately probably the most fun mod I’ve ever played with.

A small detail that many miss is that the rings themselves have built in contra-rotating counter weights so you can have only one ring and have no worries of needing to add another to counter it

[@alexbramley]

I loved watching you explore the station! I hope we get more live Matt in future.

[@terragame5836]

As the mod description says, gravity rings all feature a counter-rotating counterweight (which is actually animated too, if you look closely) so that they don't cause any torque. No need to use multiple counter-rotating ones

[@kaiperdaens7670]

You should install a mod called stiffer joint or smth to help with protecting the big crafts from the kraken and you should install a mod called wolf or smth which adds more parts, resources and makes life support more realistic but it is a very complex mod with a lot of features and parts and it works together with other mods like the one in this video.

⁠@@linecraftman3907I can reassure you that it isn’t. Without deferred rendering you shouldn’t be able to see into the gravity rings from a window in and other module or see into other modules themselves. Though I haven’t seen that green house module without out deferred rendering yet with free Iva probably because when I ran into this issue that module was the last thing on my mind.
