+---- Thread: [Infocard] Incorrect Schwarzschild radius (/showthread.php?tid=209880)
[Infocard] Incorrect Schwarzschild radius - Kherty - 10-29-2025
Type: Infocard & Systems
Bug: Incorrect Schwarzschild radius for Fischer-1171
Reproduction Steps:
- Check out Fischer-1171 because me love black holes
- Still written as 6 km (6,000 m)
- Be sad and whip out my calculator
Additional Information:
To calculate a Schwarzschild radius, rs, you need rs = (2⋅GM)/c²
- G being the Gravitational constant 6.67430⋅10^−11 m^3kg−1s^−2
- c being the speed of light: 299,792,458 m⋅s^-1
- M being the mass of Fischer-1171 (hence the Infocard dept.): 1.989⋅10^31 kg
To properly calculate a Schwarzschild radius for that cool Fischer BH, see pic.
The result being 29541.266 m, or ~29.54 km, not 6 km. My guess would be to round it up to 30 km.

Note: There's also a lot of problems in ALL solars throughout the game, where the diameter, escape velocity and mass aren't correct. I plan on working on them later, but don't worry, I won't post one for each, I'll make sure to DM or whatever since it's on infocard and doesn't have gameplay consequences (not really, some could have I guess?) and coordinate with staff if needed/wished.
Do not repeat this template for unrelated bugs, each needs their own thread.
