If you've been testing Galacticraft 4 (or even the latest versions of Galacticraft 3), you probably noticed the updated Zero-G movement in Space Stations.
It's intended that there is Zero-G movement in Space Stations, to give a feeling of "floating around" in space - like in the movie Gravity or in the combat training chamber in the movie Ender's Game.
But we didn't want to make it so players can't move around at all! Therefore:
Switch to Creative mode and the movement becomes easier and more similar to flying - but obviously that's a cheat mode!
I'm interested to know what people think about this now. I know some people don't like it before...
Please vote in the poll or give your comments.
Please do not hijack the thread by requesting jetpacks, safety lines, artificial gravity machines on Space Stations or other often-requested features. This poll is only about the actual player motion without those things.
Please also remember this is Minecraft, and so there are limits on what can be done.

But we didn't want to make it so players can't move around at all! Therefore:
- you can move using the W/S keys to give some impulse forwards or backwards
- Jump/Sneak keys give some impulse up or down (but you have to hold them down a long time for a big change)
- if you have your feet on a solid surface and you jump, you will first crouch down and then spring upwards - the strength of the jump depends on how long you hold the Jump key, kind of like a horse jump in vanilla Minecraft
- if you're within arm's reach of a wall, you can use A/D to move sideways on the wall, or Jump/Sneak to move up and down on the wall
- if you're floating freely away from the Space Station and you hit a wall - can easily happen if the station is spinning - you will be pushed by the wall, this will probably stop your motion but it can also "throw" you away from the station by centrifugal force, it depends on the spin and the relative motion of everything.
Switch to Creative mode and the movement becomes easier and more similar to flying - but obviously that's a cheat mode!
