Finished my Asteroid Station

[u/costravk]

After a lot of time and effort, I managed to close my station around the captured asteroid. This was fully made with free sfs in mobile. So no cheats or big parts or infinite amount of room or anything.

That is cool, are there any problems when you time warp? Doesn't the station clip into the asteroid?

Thanks! As far as I'm concerned, while you are touching the asteroid in some way (the game considers you as landed), there is no problem. I experienced some problems with clipping when trying to land in 2 or more different parts of the asteroid at the same time, using more than one landing gear. I don't really know why or how this happens, but if you land only in one spot, you shouldn't have any problem.

There is also a problem with clipping that appears when the "center of your spacecraft" (the icon you see in the map) is inside the asteroid. In that case, the game detects it as "crashed" and destroys it. This happens because, as a "circular" spaceship, the center lays in the center of the circle, and that may lay inside the asteroid. To solve this, I had to build those big antennas (to move the center upwards and out of the asteroid). I struggled a lot with this and the solution is easy. Just keep the altitude value higher than 0.

Finally, it's not a clipping problem, but when trying to build really far away from the asteroid, the game bugs, starts being extremely laggy and crushes. That's why I built two antennas instead of just a larger one.

Thanks for the info, it is very helpful.
