Titan

This is an attempt at Titan with conditions as close to the real thing as the game engine will allow.


This map has been fully redesigned using the new terrain engine and includes:
- custom designed terrain and textures
- named regions
- deep mining areas
- multiple spawn points (more to come!)
- points of interest
- custom start conditions (bringing back the Mk1 Landers for now)

This map presents some unique challenges by mixing the low temperature of Europa (even colder), the flammable atmosphere of Vulcan and even less visibility than Venus. There is very little about Titan that is not inherently hostile, and I have tried to bring that to this map.

There are abundant volatile and nitrice plus a little water and hydrocarbon (coal) deposits, but few metals at the surface. The temperature is balanced around the boiling point of volatiles, meaning that you can expect pools of it to form in exposed areas when the temperature drops and you may need to develop new strategies for safe airlock use.

Leading causes of death on this map may include, but are not limited to:
- Flammable gas mixes in airlocks
- Wind related injuries
- Lack of oxygen
- Freezing due to power loss
- Loss of situational awareness due to fog
- Explosions due to freezing pipes and dangerous gas mixes
- Accidental ingestion of N2O

Beef's Room Defogger is strongly recommended!

- 95% Nitrogen,
- 5% Volatiles

At the (very low) ambient temperatures volatiles will tend to freeze out into liquid fog, meaning these percentages will vary over the day/night cycle, and the vapour effects seem to generate increased buoyancy when near the ground (nothing I can do about this!).

Ideally the ambient temperature would be a few degrees lower but this results in volatiles freezing out during the night. Whilst this looks awesome, it also spawns tens of thousands of ice objects which crashes the game after the first frame is rendered and they start to fall. I suspect if it worked they would also hurt, a lot. As a result I've had to bump the temperatures up a few degrees to prevent it from happening. Don't worry though, it's still plenty cold enough!

The frozen hydrocarbon surface has reserves of usable ices and hydrocarbons (coal) but only scant ores, deposited by metorites but dig below the surface and you'll undercover a frozen sea of water ice and beneath that a rocky core rich in minerals.

Gravity on Titan is 1.352m/s/s which is only about 14% of Earth (or about 84% of the Moon's gravity). Combined with the thick atmosphere things will feel very light on the surface
(note however that once inside a room the game engine magically gives you normal gravity - also nothing I can do about that)

Modified starting conditions to swap out solar for wind power (trust me you're not going to see much sunshine on this map!) and to provide a deep miner which you can use to extract metals from the core

There will be a playthrough of the new version soon (hopefully!)
