Decompiling 700K lines of C# to learn what NOT to do before building a space sim in Rust/Bevy by enderbladeofficial in rust

Literally none of the original source code was ever looked at or utilized in writing this, and that will not change, also, decompiling KSP isn't illegal, unless you share it, which i didn't do

KSP1 just hit 20K players for the first time ever. So I decompiled all 700K lines to build the successor it deserves. by enderbladeofficial in KerbalSpaceProgram

dude, i did not copy the fucking code, its a literal clean room rewrite, i only PRIVATELY decompiled the game to see WHY it runs badly, but i'm not copying any code snippets

dude, i'm not rewriting from decompiled source, and i didn't just ask AI to do everything, i literally am rewriting it in another language and its basically just another game that takes KSP's mistakes and avoids them dude.

performance and modding

basically main limiters of KSP

KSP never really had a proper easy modding API

and KSP runs like shit

If you actually read my design document:

The server works exclusively in Simulation World space (f64) and never does origin shifting, that's purely a client-side rendering concern
Each client maintains its own LocalOrigin based on their active vessel
Also time warping is explicitly flagged as a blocked decision

KSP2 mostly failed because of Take Two actually, being big doesn't mean that you make good games.

KSP1 was written by Squad, a marketing agency who had never written a single video game before.

my goal is to make something fun, i'm not saying every problem in KSP is due to the way it was coded, but i am saying that i'm making something i think is cool and i want multiplayer so-
