Did you know that if you wait long enough after crashing at those speed (and surviving) you'll see the planet is out of orbit and drifting away (i did it with the Interloper and it worked at least)
Woah that sounds awesome. I don’t think I would have been able to notice any change in these planets’ orbits, but yeah I’m excited to check the much smaller interloper and maybe attlerock!
@@KingAdamXVIII also tried smashing into Timber Hearth twice and I ended up clipping inside of the planet both times (maybe because in smashed right in the mountain with the mining cave)
I think what you saw was probably a bug that happens if you simply go too far away from the solar system - the way the game handles precision is flawed, with the positions being stored relative to the player, causing floating point precision issues if you're far away. If you get very far away, open the map and move over to the system, you'll probably see text glitching out and the planets jittering and changing orbits.
something i've always wondered but never thoroughly tested is how fast i can hit a planet without the ship taking damage *or* how fast i can hit a planet by taking as much damage as possible without exploding. it's a lot lower speed but won't take 22 minutes per attempt. maybe try that! also try ramming the stranger! it tries slowing you down! ::D
The giant's deep canon should have just shot the probe at another planet to double its speed as demonstrated. Obligatory spoiler warning. Maybe they wouldn't have needed 22 mins and could use a more modest power source
Technically it does this sometimes. There are no collision avoidance on probe trajectory calculations, same as on your ship autopilot. Probe can hit other planets and even you near campfire if you extremely unlucky. It can also hit your ship and destroy it. Look it up, there are videos on youtube.
They are definitely nonbinary like all the Hearthians. I played the game totally blind and made everything up as I went. I didn’t even realize they were all nonbinary until after I finished the playthrough and someone told me. What does it say about me that I consistently identify Chert as female? I forget if I identify them as female before I meet them; if not then I would say it’s because they are small, scientifically minded, and a worrier (and no, that’s not sexist, it’s just that my wife is all three of those things lol). But if my misconception was just based on the name Chert, then possibly it’s because it sounds like chirp which is kind of a feminine word to me. It also obviously has a lot of similarities with Chuck and Bert though, so I don’t know why I didn’t roll with that. WAIT I call them a she in THIS video?!?! NOOOOOO I thought I was so being so careful! I got it right until I got excited and fell into old habits. 😭 Sorry!
Did you try putting the game at 120 fps or more (multiple of 30 prefered)? So the simulation runs twice as fast? This could change what happens when you collide, no?

@@KingAdamXVII I verified my info on Interloper Yesterday and I can confirm (tho I had to wait like 2 mins and I died of oxygen a minute later)

@@KingAdamXVII What if you crash the ember twins? Can you de-twin them? Can you send the ash project into the sun? Does it trigger an early restart?

High speed collision is just really one of the most fun things to do when time is irrelevant.
That was cool. I'd like to see you try to crash into the white hole, but I suspect aiming for it might be hard as I don't think you can lock on to it
You can't lock on it but you can lock the white hole station (so go to the side opposite to the station)
I once crashed my ship INTO the sun station
I somehow didnt die and i clipped through the glass with my ship
Lol that’s awesome. It’s on my list of things to try but I’m not sure the right speed to get to.

Great ideas!
Why is this so amusing?
Nice video! I wish more people knew about this game and could experience it blind…

I've actually never heard Chert be called "she" before. I always thought Chert was a guy. Is there a piece of dialogue I'm missing in game?
I think in game they’re all referred to with they/them but also idk maybe the devs said smth

@@KingAdamXVII I think that's very sweet that they remind you of your wife haha
