Hi all
I have a techy question if anyone can answer it :)
I have two gas planets yet one has more buildings on it than the other one and the only difference i can find is in the gas planet informaion.
One has a surface grav of 63.7m/s^2 and the other one has 12.1 m/s^2
does this mean that surface grav affects the ammount of buildings on the planets ?

PI modules are designed to look the same size on widly different planet sizes, so your links could be hundreds of miles longer and consuming more power/cpu each.
PS: I don't think the Assembly Hall is the correct forum for questions like this, just for future reference.

Planet size is the cause, bigger planets use more power resources for links that look the same size as they do on a small planet.

Sooo many questions about this. Maybe there should be a scale on planet-view screen? Or a "total KMs of pipeline" on screen?

I agree, I posted a similar question earlier. This graphics problem of trying to make the buildings look the same size should not affect the distance between the buildings. I want a petition to change this affect. How do you do that?
This problem seems to affect Gas planets more then others. Perhaps the Gas Command Centers need to have extra powergrid to account for this graphics problem.
I can't understand why they would let this graphics issues affect the placement of the buildings in the first place. Why cant do they put in some kind of internal calculation that accounts for this?

Where is the surface on a Gas planet?

At the distance from the center of planet where surface gravity is calculated. At least in EVE. In reality it's matter of definition - most simple is some arbitrary level where pressure is "X" units. Altho TBH with those distances between us as observers and Gas planets for us they are kinda point masses.

Under it's atmosphere.
Gas planets do have a surface, just not a solid one. Think of it like the surface of water, but made of very dense gases.

In a gas planet there might or might not be a solid core below that layer. We've not found a way yet to determine this. If it's there the temperature at the surface would be in the order of 35,000 K and pressure around 4,000 GPa for your average gas planet. Not an ideal place for a colony So best to assume the base is floating in the atmosphere. Now go buy and read The Algebraist. You can send me 100 M isk in thanks later.

It has yet to be proved that a gas planet does not have a solid core.

You cannot prove a negative. As a previous poster stated though, at the depth where a surface would exist on a gas planet the environment is so intrinsically hostile that you wouldn't survive long enough to complain. Best to just assume the gas harvesters are floating...you know,up where the gases are.

Llando,
He was a cool guy wasn't he? Well... except for having a Welsh name.
