Does this mean we'll be able to reenact the historical document "The Core?"

I've been playing around with small ships and it appears that on a small ship, the load bearing capacity of a Large Atmospheric Thruster at or near sealevel is approximately 160,000KG@1G. Use this information as necessary when devising drillships. Please also note that exceeding this weight limit can have interesting effects on the ships ability to stay airborne, USE GENTLE DESCENT INPUTS. I've found 2 medium containers, 1 Large Reactor, 2 LATs (UP), 4 Drills, a connector and 4Rev, 2FWD and 2Side/perside works pretty well until you can make it into larger vessels


Edit: It's also apparently possible for meteors to impact THROUGH the planet, do not place anything important on the first meter or so on the ground.

Apparently structures on a planets surface will revert to physics enabled if you happen to remove the last block tying it to the ground. Apparently this means in practice that your structure will launch itself to the stratosphere and then come crashing back down.
