[SE2] Twice Gravity Without Dampeners?

Ellis Farmer shared this bug 19 hours ago

I tested falling dozens of times and I keep getting an observed acceleration of about 19 (18.5-19.5) on Verdure.

In a ship and not in a ship. With no mods at 2.03km height. At 3.33km with a mod that allows speed up to 900m/s.

Confirmed by both time and distance, and timing and end speed.

I would tend to agree with this observation. I tested some, was testing falling from 2km to 1km.


Worked out Verdure gravity about 2G:

sqrt ( 2 * 1000 / X ) = ~10 seconds

X = 20

Final velocity is ~195m/s.


It should be like this for 1G:

sqrt ( 2 * 1000 / 9.8 ) = ~14.3 seconds

Final velocity should be ~140m/s.


The other way to look at it is from falling from rest (below) rather than time taken (above):


Should be:

height = 0.5 * 9.8 * 10²

height = 490


To get to us falling 1000m in 10 seconds it would need to be:

height = 9.8 * 10²

height = 980


Is your falling from rest function missing a *0.5?
