Wind Vs Gravity
On Vanilla, the wind forces that happen when there’s a subtle pressure difference don’t take into account the planet’s gravity. The distance you or your stuff get pulled and tossed around is the same, no matter how strong or weak gravity is.
This makes mining a nightmare on custom planets with extreme pressure atmospheres like GJ 229 Ac.
This mod changes the forces created by pressure differences to also take into account the local gravity. On mars, with its weak 3.8m/s gravity, the effect will be almost the same as Vanilla, but at bodies with stronger gravity, you or your things will be heavier and the wind will have less of an effect on it.
But beware, if you’re flying on jetpack, the wind will still have a strong pull on you.

On Vanilla there’s a AtmosphereDampeningScale parameter for character or item that effectively reduces the atmospheric effect, but they’re a fixed value (0.5 for Characters and 1 for most Things) on every World.
This mod basically changes it to be dynamic and calculated by the following formula when the item or character is loaded in the world:
For Characters: 0.5f + (WorldGravity / 100)
For things: AtmosphereDampeningScale + (WorldGravity / 60)
With the resulting value being clamped between 0.2 and 0.5 for characters and 0.3 and 1 for things
So on Venus, for example, which has a gravity of -8.87/s, instead of the default 0.5 vanilla value you’ll have 0.5+(-0.0887) which gives you 0.4113 for characters (which is enough to not have your suit crushed in every corner when mining)
For things you’ll have 1+(-0.1478) = 0.8522
On GJ 227, which has a gravity of -36m/s, you’ll have:
For character: 0.5+(-0.36) = 0.14
For things: 1+(-0.6) = 0.4
