You're thinking of the Little Blocks Mod and "emulates" is the wrong word. It was around waay before TerraFirmaCraft was.

I think the import/export script assumes your importing from/exporting to an orbiter install, so expects the mesh to be in ./meshes and the textures to be in ./Textures. If they're anywhere else the texture definitions in the .msh probably go all weird.

The value of C is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. The Meter is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458ths of a second.

I too am confused-handed. My dad was born left-handed and promptly had it beaten out of him by the society at the time, and is now ambidextrous. I on the other hand was born left-handed, but was taught with right handed conventions. (your right hand is the one you write with) I have also...

Is that a thermocouple?

AFAIK, Dangerous uses full Newtonian, abstracted away behind computer controlled thrusters and probably a little bit of number fudging to reduce the barrier to entry. You can turn the computer (called flight assist) off, which gives you Newtonian flight.

Warning: This post contains wild guessing. Short Answer: Drawing functions. Long Answer: OGLA client runs on, surprise surprise, Open GL (I have no idea where the A comes from.) The Sketchpad and GDI functions present under DirectX are either not present or work differently under OpenGL...

Matter-Antimatter reactions are much higher energy reactions than most particle collisions. I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them to produce light or even gamma photons rather than X-rays. Also I don't know much about the "X-ray halo" but if it had any kind of strength and the reactions did...

If you've played an Elder Scrolls game before you should be fine, but if, like me, you are new to the franchise, you may well find the opening impenetrable.

I always had a niggling doubt with the Mars One project. It took me ages to put my finger on it, but it boils down to "If its that simple, why hasn't someone else done it?". Just looking over their website seemed to say to me "We've thought though some of this, but not all of it.". Also the...

The server is fine. It's just stuck on 1.7.9 for the time being.

To be frank, if there is a power surge, its better that the PSU sacrifices itself rather than the MoBo gets fried. Replacing those things takes all day. That and I don't think I could get another copy of this MoBo, so if it dies I would have to re-install the entire system.

After all this time I have to remind myself that sound is provided by a plugin and is not in the core.

At 113 Miles (~182 Km) you're well above Earth's atmosphere, but at 182 Km above the 'surface' of Jupiter, your well inside it, and the extreme drag that low down in Jupiter's atmosphere would cause you to loose speed quite quickly.

The on-orbit starting scenarios were probably made by flying a DG up there, rather than spawning it in and adjusting its orbit though the scenario editor, so the tanks start the scenario part empty.

Umm, no. The range of gravity is infinite. It just gets less and less as you go on. At some point way out there some other star would have a greater attraction so you'd fall towards that, but you'd still be being pulled on by the sun, and indeed, everything else in the universe. Of course...

If anyone has ever wondered what happens if you use UCD to attach 2 SRBs to an XR2...

yes. break the ailerons and you'd better hope RCS has enough roll authority or else your not going the direction you want to.

Its looking like its going to be a good game, as long as RSI can work around Cryengine forcing them to use severe instancing. If done wrong the instancing will completely break the persistent universe.

You MUST have ALL low res textures. Always. High res textures are optional and where present will be swapped in when you get close enough.
