<the bozo> hey i'm the guy, i did correctly install the patch but i'm still getting the apocalypse error message upon loading up a preexisting save

<the bozo> i ended up getting there, the way to do it was to uninstall parallax and retrobop.cfg, then install principia and reinstall parallax afterwards

⟨ShlonkeyJouves⟩ Has anyone experienced a bug when EVAing in atmosphere where the navball reference frame changes and the game things youre going at like 25k/s and then crashing the game?

⟨ShlonkeyJouves⟩ i forgot my lander parachute so wanted to land with kerbal parachute but its impossible ;(

<egg> While the bozo reports that this sequence of steps led to the right place, I do not think that most of it is needed, nor that it should be recommended.
<queqiao-->
<Clayel> why not?
<queqiao-->
<egg> Because most of these things are not that stateful.
<queqiao-->
<Clayel> what should you do then?
<queqiao-->
<sichelgaita> I question the wisdom of putting in the FAQs this kind of voodoo steps that might have been useful in a particular case but that nobody double-checked.

<Clayel> what is the answer then?

<sichelgaita> Create a new save. That's all that is needed. We really don't know what the bozo had on their machine or what exact operations they did.
<queqiao-->
<egg> (Which is what RTB suggested, incidentally.)
<queqiao-->
<sichelgaita> Because there is no statefulness beyond a save. Principia absolutely doesn't care what other mods are installed.
<queqiao-->
<Clayel> but a new save isnt always needed when installing principia, right? isnt the usual advice that its only needed when crafts are on interplanetary trajectories?
<queqiao-->
<egg> In any case, transiently uninstalling Parallax is useless at best (though it might be a good way to corrupt the save, since the existence of Parallax changes the state of the solar system).
<queqiao-->
<egg> Just revert that change to the readme.
<queqiao-->
<egg> (I’ll do it.)

<the bozo> uninstalling parallax allowed principia to automatically adjust the positions of the celestials
<queqiao-->
<the bozo> it is important to note that this should be done on a save file that has not been already influenced by principia (for example one of the backup saves)
<queqiao-->
<the bozo> fresh save is unnecessary for this type of operation
