Consistent Collisions, James Webb, & Planetscaping Tweaks | Update 29.1

Universe Sandbox

Create & destroy on an unimaginable scale with a realistic physics-based space simulator. Explore the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet. Use science to bend the laws of gravity, collide planets, boil away oceans, fire epic space lasers, and customize your universe. VR optional.

We’ve also improved fragmentation during collisions, among other things. [h4]Fragmentation[/h4] We’ve updated how we determine the number of fragments during collisions. This allows fragments to last longer in simulations with numerous collisions and makes collisions more consistent across different simulation speeds.
