the mod does not seem to be functional after the apex survival update

(1000mph = 447.04m/s)

I just set my top speed to 1000mph and max is it fun as hell and I still get to use rockets. Woooo!!!

very cool
can you also make mod that fix weapons on big speed? like projectiles dont get speed from creation, and if you fly faster than projectiles you just hit yourself

getting crashes when causing a detonation with ammunition in cargo

This mod appears to have the same issue as warheads with fast moving grids with the explosion happening where the grid was a few ticks ago causing the fast moving grid to be unscathed by the explosion.

Is it safe to remove from the savegame without it corrupting something in it?

this sounds so good, sadly i doubt my potato could handle it :(

Does this mod affect performance very much?

Oh, understood. I was up really late and didn't put it together.

@lord.riker The update was in the Bigger Explosions mod that this one is dependent on. Both Kinetic Devastation and Nuclear Weapons were affected.

Did that update mentioned in your comment go through? The last update says it was on Nov 28, 2021 @ 3:45pm.

Update:
Reduced volume on larger explosion SFX.

Hi. How can I use this mod to fix missiles flying through tank and voxels? I don`t need them to explode

does this mod still work? I'm trying to crash a large ship into a planet at 300/ms and it doesn't activate. I haven't made any changes to the config.

I've run into a problem where at high enough speeds things still clip through planets and end up blowing up underground, or with asteroids and ships just go straight through them. Is there anyway to increase the range of the raycast checking for collisions or anything like that? Would be useful.

okay so, i have a very basic one that just removes the cap entirely and makes it some ffvraction of the speed of light, how would you go about making damage from crashing a bit smaller?
It still feels very large

Hi, regarding speed mods all will work, basically. Space engineers lets you pretty easily change the speed by changing a single number. Speed mods make this change super easy for us all which is why we use them.

But all mods change that existing number that Keen gives us built into the game. Therefore, this mod here will work with any basic speed mod, as in one that doesnt change *other* things such as physics writ large

I also want to know what infinite speed mods match with this mod, or if its all

Can you help me a little bit? I have some issues with your modpack

edit: it would also be very useful for figuring out what damage multipliers to use for different things, as instead of having to restart the server before every change, you could just change it in-game while testing.

Would there be any way to turn this mod's effects on and off, or at least change the damage multiplier while in-game? I absolutely love this mod, however it makes gravity cannons extremely overpowered, and it would be amazing to be able to turn it on whenever I want it and turn it off during ship combat without having to restart the server in-between.

I love this so much. Thank you.

Can you make it so Rail Guns dont explode the ground voxels as an option and instead travel in a strait "liner damage line" perhaps through the voxels - damage while solo and while destroying blocks, Im being left with 150 mtr craters from a Sml SV size ship wih a basic Rail gun hitting minor things...(like stupidly) the configs are to broad for them and kill the other kinetics. please and thankyou.

how effective is this at stopping the disintegration to dust?

So I've set the speeds to -1 and put a speed mod on the server but it is not picking it up. HMM

@Echthros

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply!! I'll figure it out! In the meantime I'll just keep setting off explosions and sitting back LOL

@MountainDEWDjv That sounds like there's a de-sync between the max speed set on the server and the clients. As long as the max speed is set correctly on the server, it should normally mirror that down to all clients. I would check to make sure the Config.xml is set up correctly on the server.

But yes, you can always just set the the speed modifiers in the Config.xml to -1 to disable them and use a normal speed mod if that's easier.

Hello Author,

Let me start by saying this mod (and nukes) is FUN AS HECK! We've been having a blast setting off chain nukes. Nothing like realizing you underestimated the size of the boom boom LOL.

I am having an issue currently. I've set the top speed for small and large grids via the config file on our dedicated server and when we fly in a ship the speed indicator caps at 100m/s.... it FEELS like you are accelerating more BUT it lags a lot in the process.

It initially did not do this, I was wondering if we could somehow figure out what is going on OR if it would be good enough to just set the mod to default speed and load in a speed mod??

Sound effects for all explosions have been redone by 'Hybrid V' and are much higher quality now!

Hey @Echthros, just curious, have you had a chance to consider the workaround I suggested?

Thx

@ComputerErika It scales with grid speed. There is no upper limit on the raycast length.

So, this ray-cast to detect if the ship collides with something in the next physics frame, is there a limit to how long it can be?

Thank you tremendously for taking the time to look into the issue!! I appreciate it. I'm sorry to hear you hit a dead end.

Just had a possible idea for a workaround... is it possible to toggle the "Enable Voxel Destruction" setting (from the 'advanced world settings' menu) without a world restart? Even if it's with a command or something, being able to toggle it manually would work perfectly fine for me. If it'd be possible for you to look into this at some point, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much for your time :)

@notjordansime I did. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a way to make that work. The damage done to voxels from collisions seems to be buried in the physics system and isn't something I have any control over. It's possible that Keen might expose that system for modders at some point, but for the time being it seems like it might be impossible.

Hey Echthros, I hope you're doing well.
Last year, I asked about the possibility of a mod that disables voxel damage caused by collisions and explosions. Here's what you had to say;
"I may check a bit later if there's a way to do what you're suggesting by manipulating the damage handler, but that would be a separate mod."
Just curious, have you had a chance to look into that at all?

I like the mod, but there's a small issue I'm having with it that I'm wondering if is known or a bug or something I didn't do right. If a ship crashes into the ground, it behaves mostly as expected other than that parts of the surface of the ground might not get destroyed and will get stuck inside the ship, but the ground below the surface gets destroyed. Is there something I might not have set up right or is this normal?

@Shadowreaver Yes, the difference in speed between them is the only thing that matters for whether an explosion is generated or not.

@Lt. Ruben (AUT) That isn't a bad idea, but this mod shares an general explosion system with the Nuclear Weapons mod and is intended to cover all more general explosions, not just kinetic ones. Also, that would pretty much require reworking every aspect of this mod, which I'm not going to do at this point.

Is it possible to dock 2 high ships with the mod is they both fly at high speeds?
For example my carrier flying at 200m/s and docking my shuttle when the diff. between them would be at its peak 5m/s?

i love the fact that it tracks objects that usually would bug through others due to speed, but why does a kinetic impact cause a spherical explosion?

Not sure if it's possible, but wouldn't it be better to cause damage forwards and backwards from the impacting object? That way the impactor and impactee both get damage in a line, and it looks like penetration instead of a thermonuclear explosion.

AMAZING!

Aayyy Thank you very much :D
I got it working

@ComputerErika For performance reasons, a grid needs to be at least 5 blocks to be tracked by the system.

This mod does not seem to be working for me,
I made sure its installed, used it speed settings to raise the speed limit which worked
But when I drop a block for orbit it still just clips through the planet
It was going about about just over 400 m/s, is that too fast?

@Haliganaxe You can change the max speed values in either this or Real Orbits. Changing both is not necessary.

@goofball305 It should work with Darkstar's shield mod.

Do I need to change the speed values in this to match the speed value in "real orbits" mod? or do the values in this mod only affect when something explodes?

any idea how this plays with the various shield mods?

This! Thats how i always thought about how to handle extreme high speeds in SE.

Thanks, I'll try doing that.

The reason I intended do collisions at this speed was to more accurately depict starship collisions rather than just have them fuse together.
