    Hi, I'm modding an existing mod called the Saturn V rocket to make it go mind blowingly fast. So far, the max I was able to reach was about 15000 MPH airspeed on sun gravity (yes, sun gravity. it needs that because without it the rocket just instantly pulls up and flies upwards). I tried to push it further, but the problem is that the rocket keeps imploding on itself from the thrust. How do I make it indestructible to make it so the rocket doesn't implode on itself?? I have already tried changing all the BeamStrength values to 9999999999, to no avail. Please help :(

    It crashes the game because the beamng code can’t handle wha5 is happening.

    What makes the game crash? The speeds?

    Yes and no. The physics engine simply can’t simulate what happens, keep in mind, it’s beamng.drive not beamng.fly

    Also this thread is in the wrong section.

    Well I'm just going for an ultra high speed run on gridsmallpure so there shouldn't be a problem with crashing into things or anything. And by "implodes" I mean the thruster literally collapses and bends the rocket causing it to go haywire. The game doesn't crash.

    Also sorry, I'm new to the forums.

    15000 MPH on sun gravity is already "mindblowningly fast", what else do you want? The physics engine has its limits, I don't think there is a way to make it work like you want.
    Also while you're making it, you could make a mod for 2 (or more) of these rockets slapped on the Wentward like JATO rockets, it would be cool to see how fast it can go with them lol, it would probably rip itself to shreds as soon as they are activated but it would be funny

    that's called the beamng soft body engine, you can't change that.

    I just want to go as fast as possible for no reason. It hasn't crashed the game or anything yet. I'm not very experienced with modding so that Wentworth rocket mod you're thinking of is probably something I can't do.

    But it doesn't smush cars the same way for every car, it's different depending on the strength values of the beams. Take the HCube or the Simple Tank. It takes a ridiculous amount of force to deform those things because the strength values are set very high.

    Never mind, I figured out that changing the beamDeform value to something stupid high, like 999999999, makes it virtually indestructible. Time to get faster >:)
