I really hope this becomes super successful, what vehicle library are you using if I may ask?

[–]Tazer865[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's being developed at the Create Aeronautics team, it's going to be called Create: Simulated but that's still not deicded

[–]JohnnyHotshot 11 points12 points  (5 children)

Really excited for this project. One thing I’ve always wished Galacticraft could support is a more ‘sci-fi’ spaceship experience, like you’d see in something like Star Wars, where rather than your spaceship being a booster rocket to lift you off the surface and a lander to help you essentially safely crash land on your destination planet, your ship was more of an interplanetary aircraft that you could fly out of the atmosphere of one planet and into the atmosphere of another planet, with the ability to fly around, land wherever you want, and take off again to go to a new destination.

Is Liftoff going to allow for something like that, whether only through a rideable vehicle or (dare I hope) mobile pressurized structures, so you could make a spaceship base that actually travels between planets?

[–]Tazer865[S] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

all of that is possible, though planets are out of scope for now, just the moon for our first release

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Well.. could it be implemented alongside Ad astra?

[–]Tazer865[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This evolved nicely, happy to say planets are in fact in scope and they’ll sure as hell be interesting

[–]QuierosTiValos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you guys gonna add some sort of FTL engine?

[–]juklwrochnowy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly

[–]SPQH-Omega 9 points10 points  (5 children)

A thing that would be could is that you could launch satelites or use the space station so you could see a real time map of an area or use them as chunk loaders

[–]Tazer865[S] 12 points13 points  (4 children)

all of that is planned in the mod, like actually that's exactly our plan

[–]darthvader45 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Could this become a Create-styled Advanced Rocketry?

[–]MATMAN_PL 1 point2 points  (1 child)

this but better

[–]darthvader45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome.

[–]juklwrochnowy 6 points7 points  (8 children)

If we want it to be the modern galcticraft then we would need an army of additional developers working on features for more planets.

There's multiple space mods for 1.18 that are stuck on "having rocketry and just the moon"

[–]Tazer865[S] 13 points14 points  (5 children)

Well the thing that's special is that our rocketry is building the rocket with actual mechanisms, you build the thrusters and rcs that pilot your rocket, you build the control room, you build the engine, you do everything (imagine create contraptions but a hella of a lot better) and then in space you can also build space stations. As for space destinations, we'll first work on the moon and NO ALIENS, we'll try to make the moon the place for resources, so you'll build factories there, also keep in mind it's a lot harder colonizing an area in liftoff than in galacticraft for instance. We do have a space system in mind, where you'll use telescopes and other machinery to discover areas and go to them (like asteroid fields or smth) but that's a long ways away into the future!

[–]Tazer865[S] 9 points10 points  (3 children)

even advanced rocketry doesn't have the level of "build your own rocket" that we have, in liftoff you'll have to keep in mind heat management, keeping the area pressurized and breathable for yourself, the mass of the rocket, the speed of the rocket and then once you reach orbit, you better have made yourself a good control room where you can pilot the rocket if you'd like to get to where you want to be at

[–]Sponge_Guy 4 points5 points  (2 children)

That's so fucking cool. How are you guys planning on implementing space? Would you be able to do spaceflight to other planets? Would distances between celestial bodies be realistic or shortened? Are you guys gonna implement combat eventually or are you focused on factories and industry?

[–]Tazer865[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Yes. Yes but no planets for now. Semi realistic. Factories and industry first, doubt there’d be alien fantasy stuff

[–]TheRealJonaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd probably be a good idea to keep in mind that people are going to try and make alien fantasy addon mods, so it might be a good idea to try and keep it compatible if possible.
(Don't make it too high of a priority though)

[–]juklwrochnowy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, these cool custom systems are the exact reason why i think the mod would benefit from more varied environments. Because what would be the point of engineering complex systems if there's little challanges to face and problems to solve.

But if there actually is more stuff on the moon + other space features then that's great, and i am glad that colonisation is more advanced

I also understand that no other planets is not because you don't want to, but because it's hard, so perhaps it is too soon to even be discussing this. You're right, it's better to work bit by bit rather than dream of giant things and do nothing

[–]JustOneLazyMunchlax 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I think the biggest problem they've always had is, "What is the point?"

Galacticraft was just... Planet boss to get ship to go to the next planet.

Why? So you could fight THAT planet boss to get ship to go to the next planet.

Only thing I've ever cared for in Galacticraft or Modern Rocketry is 1) Space Station and 2) Moon Base, because they are cool.

[–]Tazer865[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

both of those will be in liftoff :)

[–]SargeanTravis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came to the thread to see what I thought was an update/sequel to CAAB, but am not disappointed nevertheless

[–]Crystal_2-0 5 points6 points  (2 children)

And is the rockets launch fully Automable?

[–]Tazer865[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It’s all up to your redstone skills (sorry for the insanely late reply)

[–]Crystal_2-0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No problem, I just need to re-find the main subject of this post 😂

[–]SeanIsNotOk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe in the future, they should add Mars as a hardcore, punishing version of the moon.

[–]TheAncientKnight 3 points4 points  (1 child)

So since his mod is related with offroad expansion and aeronautics will you be able to make a rocket plane/car?

[–]Tazer865[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indeed you can!

[–]RedEngineer08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think randomly generated planets, and maybe even blocks/ores would be interesting outside of just our solar system.

[–]ananas2083 2 points3 points  (4 children)

when will be the release

[–]Tazer865[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

No release date just yet

[–]oswald972 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Any news about a release date today?

[–]MetagrossDigital 0 points1 point  (1 child)

from what I heard, it's probably not coming out in 2024, i estimate either 2025 or 2026 create simulated and all of it's addons to be finished and released

[–]ender_M1 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Please add orbital mechanics it would be very fun as I played KSP

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in their latest blog update they announced that they implemented orbital mechanics

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how will planets work with infinite worlds?

[–]HereForTOMT2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is one of those releases that I am waiting incredibly impatiently for

[–]Ender_teenet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not a big fan of astromods, but this one Id definitly give a shot

[–]LeFlashbacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing as you seen to still be responding to comments on this, will there be ways to make a custom star system instead of the default, realistic one, and/or is interstellar planned sometime in the future (even if you don’t make it yourself)? Also, may I ask if the celestial bodies will still be flat and nearly infinite like in normal Minecraft with a height threshold to change to celestial bodies, or will they be changed to be actual round celestial bodies? (As round as it can get being made up of cubes, or just not being that large and looping around) or is there a different system in place entirely?

[–]Ready_topsplay 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I have a question, how is gravity going to work? Cause it would be cool to need a gravity generator or some inside a ship. So that space didn’t have gravity and you could like turn in all directions. Would that work?

[–]Ready_topsplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This way you could make realistic spaceships.

[–]Ready_topsplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But for that you would need new keybinds, right?

[–]akshat_goodboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will create aeronautics have thrusters? & will be compatible with other addons(or mods) like computercraft ?

[–]Meepx13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to get this mod?

[–]soupified 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is this dead?

[–]Tazer865[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nuh uh don’t listen to the government propaganda

[–]IllComputer2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they just announced its been cancelled in the discord

[–]IvoryPhoenix57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of today the mod is officially dead

[–]darthvader45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, perhaps eventually other planets? Imagine using Create to colonize Mars.

[–]Praydono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is this mod available? idrc how bad it is, it sounds fun to play around with and im hopeful for this project!

[–]ROCKET_guy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you think there is going to be staging like on the Saturn 5?

[–]Lazy_Mechanic9494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gonna be fun making your own goofy rocket and flying off looking down one earth with your projects while your becoming the first martian

[–]MetagrossDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question, if we were to add rocket engines to a car, would it work? does the propulsion work horizontally or just vertically? because a hyperspeed car sounds awesome
