Nice!

I'm not sure it was a bug, more just early balancing.
I do think it was interesting, allowing you to go short distances with bottles, and work around the base a bit, but it was very difficult or impossible to get to space or travel LONG distances.

i kind of like the old bugged jetpack where the hydrongen drain was like 10x more on gravity area

Any chance of a jetpack that works in space and lets you "swim" with the water mod but won't allow you to fly in atmosphere?
alex_sun 29 Jul, 2021 @ 9:06am 
Hello. wondered to make a similar mod for myself. so the parameter that regulates the work in the atmosphere does not work <EffectivenessAtMinInfluence>1</EffectivenessAtMinInfluence>
<EffectivenessAtMaxInfluence>0</EffectivenessAtMaxInfluence>
whether on the moon (no atmosphere) or on titan (have atmosphere) the behavior of the jet is the same. for this to work depending on the presence of an atmosphere it need to add the line <NeedsAtmosphereForInfluence>true</NeedsAtmosphereForInfluence> below
now i got what i needed (jet works only on the moon, on satellites and planets with an atmosphere - null)
thnks for base of mod)

No update needed for Space Engineers version 1.199.

Oh! Wow! I was under the un-informed assumption that it simply disabled the jetpacks! Thanks so much for the clarification!
By the way... People like you guys who make the individual mods that allow players to play exactly how they want... You really carry the SE community. Thanks.

HalberdGuard: I did inspect the "Configurable Parameters" mod script and, to my good surprise, the creator of this MOD used exactly, numbers for numbers, the values I entered in both of my jetpack nerfing mods variant.

To use the "Jetpack Nerfing" values: Select the "Space" preset in "Configurable Parameters".

To use the "Functional Jetpack Nerfing" values: Select "Moon" preset in "Configurable Parameters.

So, you do not even need to use my mods with it. It does exactly the same thing already!
HalberdGuard 28 May, 2021 @ 8:30am 
This is perfect! Thanks so much! It's exactly what I am looking for!
I do wish I could use this mod alongside the Configurable Parameters mod, but alas!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2422592854
Whenever both are in the mod list (no matter the order) it seems that mod and its jetpack setting takes priority! Any chance someone knows how to use these together?

Brianetta: This mod is the original "JetPack nerf" but I kept receiving demands for a more viable one for use in void operation on small planets. So I made a second one. :KOh:
Brianetta 26 Jan, 2021 @ 2:48pm 
Very much enjoying this. Not sure what the appeal of the reworked one is (I want my jetpack nerfed, unless I'm on the moon?) but this one is ideal. All the benefits of a disabled jetpack, none of the instant death sentence from accidental space bar use in zero G.

Thank you very very much!
Drake4242 5 Dec, 2020 @ 6:46am 
can someone make a mod that only disables h2 bottles
Galenmacil  [author] 26 Sep, 2020 @ 2:00pm 
Updated with the new hydrogen fuel consumption values. Thrust value unmodified from previous version.

Read the description section for more information.
Galenmacil  [author] 23 Sep, 2020 @ 8:07pm 
Reiring: If this is possible, that would probably require more advance modding than I can do. Maybe ask the water mod author for this?
Reiring 23 Sep, 2020 @ 12:42pm 
So do you think there's a way to make a submod of some sort where the jetpack would work with the new water mod, as in works in water, but not on the surface?
Galenmacil  [author] 16 Sep, 2020 @ 1:54pm 
While working on a derivative of this mod ( " Functional Jetpack Nerfing " ), I realized that this one could also use some much needed tweaking regarding H² consumption.

So, without touching anything else, how long should one be able to thrust at 100% throttle in zero-G? In minutes, let's say 5? 10? Less than 5? More than 10?

Personally, I think 5 minutes is an adequate amount of time. Remember that this is "5 minutes of non stop 100% throttle". This would translate to much more time since, usually, maneuvering in zero-G is done with the dampeners off while applying short burst of thrust.

In my opinion Dextro this mod is just great, it makes this game harder, where you need to rethink all your designs, change way you're building etc.
Galenmacil  [author] 25 Aug, 2020 @ 5:41pm 
A reworked version of this mod is now available: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2209469666

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Galenmacil  [author] 25 Aug, 2020 @ 2:25pm 
Dextro: I get this remark from time to time about the fact that the thrust reduction might be too harsh... I was wondering if you would be willing to test a new branch of this mod that would allow what you ask on moons without atmosphere surface?
data 25 Aug, 2020 @ 7:39am 
Honestly this is just WAAAAAY too brutal, i can't even give myself a tiny boost up on the MOON with 0.25 gravity, i understand this is a jetpack nerf mod but this makes the jetpack practically useless in anywhere that isn't space.

I intended to download this mod because the vanilla jetpack is insanely overpowered and destroys the point in making land vehicles but this just makes jetpacks practically useless, in my opinion it would be better to hard cap speed and make efficiency far worse on planets than space.
Resugram 23 Aug, 2020 @ 5:07am 
No worries, and thank you! :D
Galenmacil  [author] 22 Aug, 2020 @ 3:38pm 
Resugram: Of course you can! No need to ask permission :KOh:

And sorry for the slow response I was in a "non PC" phase...
Resugram 5 Aug, 2020 @ 6:11am 
Hey Galenmacil, could I use your mod on my server?
Sajtgolyó51 16 Jul, 2020 @ 2:39pm 
I just tried this thing in creative before jumping into survival, and after realizing what this mod really did all I can say is "[VGTG]". Man, the memories

@Zóar: The way it works currently is quite simple, it modify a single data file. What you suggest, disabling the visual completely when not in space, is not something I believe can be done. At least, not without delving into very advance moding...
Zóar 22 Jan, 2020 @ 3:09pm 
I like how the Mod is now, it seems good that it is not useful on the moon, as in Star Citizen, the EVA can only be used in zero gravity.

Thank you @Galenmacil

(Hint: Is it possible that directly on the planets it was 100% deactivated? So that the flame was not even seen)
Galenmacil  [author] 6 Jan, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
@Thales: It is a decision I took to limit effectiveness of the jetpack to space use (Zero-G) only... Can't please everyone. I do believe there are some other mod around doing similar things. Might be worth looking the Steam Workshop for them.
Thales 6 Jan, 2020 @ 1:52pm 
Shouldn't it have enough power for the Moon?
Galenmacil  [author] 2 Jan, 2020 @ 7:39pm 
@gumby: I re-uploaded it to steam Workshop. Not sure why it would no longer work for you. There was this change to the user agreement... The modified file itself "characters.sbc" was not changed by KSH.

If other peoples encounter issues with it, please post then here.
gumby 2 Jan, 2020 @ 12:42pm 
As of the new year this mod no longer works

@BattlePanda: Certainly not intended. Probably due to the fact that jetpack are mostly ineffective in any world with gravity... A side effect I would say.
Albino Noodle 20 May, 2019 @ 11:03am 
So I have noticed that I'm able to turn on my jetpack while running and sorta skip along the ground especially downhill and I'm not sure if it's intended or just a side effect of the sometimes
janky af physics we have in se.

It's useful but seems to go against the spirit of what the mod is trying to do.

SE players are spoiled by the jetpack
Galenmacil  [author] 14 Mar, 2019 @ 8:03pm 
Robko: You can check other similar MOD in the Workshop. I have seen at least one other that limits the force of the jetpack but still allow the use on moons.
Galenmacil  [author] 14 Mar, 2019 @ 8:00pm 
Darian Stephens: I could not put it more eloquently.
