Kinetic Devastation

As any user of speed mods can attest, the physics engine is less than graceful in its handling of extremely high-velocity impacts. Flying straight through an asteroid or even a planet is all too easy at higher speeds.

Not any more. With this mod, you will be able to hit grids, asteroids, and planets at tremendous velocities and enjoy the resulting devastation. Not only will it prevent many of the more awkward physical non-interactions so common at high speeds, but also opens up a range of kinetic options for weaponry.

From remote-controlled kinetic missiles to orbital "rods from God", all you need is sufficient mass and speed to wreck even the most robust defenses. So when in doubt, crash into it!

1. Tracks the movement of grids travelling over a certain velocity (150 m/s by default) watching for situations classified as collisions.
2. Collisions include any of the following:
--a. Raycast in front of moving grid detects that something will be impacted in the next frame
--b. Voxels are detected in front of the grid
--c. Block on grid has been destroyed a result of a collision with another grid
3. When a collision is detected, the grid is slowed to under the velocity limit and an explosion is generated proportional to the speed and mass of the grid.
4. Explosion wrecks things in the immediate vicinity.

Explosion radius can be calculated as:
r = 0.01 * (Mass * Velocity * Velocity * ExplosionEnergyMultiplier)^(1/3)

The default maximum radius is 500m (1km diameter).

This mod can be customized by making use of the Config.xml file that generates once the mod is loaded. Loading a file with this mod active creates a Config.xml file inside of the save folder (...\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<SteamId>\<SaveGameName>\Storage\2649159807.sbm_HighSpeedCollisions). You can edit the values in this file to change those values in game after loading back into the save.

Setup Steps:
1. Subscribe to the mod
2. Add mod to world
3. Load into world once to generate the Config.xml file
4. Exit world
5. Make changes to the Config.xml file at above location
6. Load back into world to see changes
