I am attempting to make a game that takes place in outer space and was wondering what methods or techniques I could use to simulate planetary gravity. An example of what I'm going for can be found here: https://web.roblox.com/games/845725483/Space-Mining-Tycoon-ALPHA. Where would I start and how would I go about this?

How would I go about simulating planetary gravity?

I recommend you just copy this entire game, it has the planetary gravity:

I tried this out, but it seems that there's a problem with the camera script that's in the model. It works in the main game, but not in mine. :thonk:

Actually, really nothing is working. Any ideas?

Are you sure, it worked perfectly fine for me (Except the playing glitching when it moves)

try planetary gravity v2 (search it up, you will find the model)

You could set the workspace's Gravity to lower, or use a BodyForce
Yes, but what I'm looking for is the ability to walk around the entire planet without falling off. I believe it would be more complicated and difficult to use a sphere planet for this, so I have opted to use a cube.
this is actually an awesome idea. i'll have to try this out sometime this week, i'll share if i figure something out
you could do a sphere just use a body force that gives force to all players directly in to the center of the sphere
How exactly would I implement that?
While skillfulzombie88's idea would move players to the sphere, they would still face down and walking along with camera rotation would not change. I thought about doing that in one of my games and it didn't work all that well
