Rust Game Physics Engines: PhysX, Rapier, XPBD & Others
Some other Rust game engines ship with their own physics engine. Fyrox, for example, has advanced 2D/3D physics, supporting rigid bodies, joints, ray casting and more. Godot too, which has community-led Rust bindings also has an in-built physics engine as well as a Godot-native extension using the Jolt physics engine. In fact, which is reported to be more performant than the official physics engine.

Godot is not the new Unity – The anatomy of a Godot API call
When the performance of Godot's physics engine has been mentioned before I've seen https://github.com/godot-jolt/godot-jolt pointed to as a drop in more performant solution.
Haven't tried it in a project yet myself

What are the biggest issues you've faced in Godot 4.0 so far?
No idea if this will solve your problems, but with Godot 4 Physics being a bit undercooked you might want to try a different physics engine. Like Godot-Jolt: https://github.com/godot-jolt/godot-jolt

What's missing from C# in Godot 4?
Godot 4 itself is actually fairly good about diving to its C/C++ base for the nasty stuff. Like its Physics. The reimplementation for Jolt physics into Godot 4 is again C/C++ calculation library.

After months of work, I'm excited to share the first release of Godot Jolt, an extension that integrates the Jolt physics engine into Godot, demonstrated using GDQuest's RoboBlast
If you'd like to try out Godot Jolt for yourself, you can find the latest release, as well as important gotchas, on the project's GitHub page. Just bear in mind that the extension is still in development and will likely have a couple of bugs that have yet to be found. C# support for GDExtension is also not in a great place right now, so there are some issues there as well.

Strange rigidbody behavior in Godot 4 - I think it's something to do with center of mass but changing it (since there is no visual marker) didn't seem to help :(
Try a different physics engine: https://github.com/godot-jolt/godot-jolt

Added a "Breakable" node in the Nodot node library for Godot and it's been fun updating the examples
Your comment made me do a bit of research and I found this: https://github.com/godot-jolt/godot-jolt

My Thoughts on Porting my Game to Godot 4 (800+ scenes, 30,000+ lines of code)
It's possible to create a GDExtension for it (similar to what was done for Jolt), but I haven't seen any for Bullet yet. There's a lot of hype going around Jolt, so it's understandably where most of the community effort is going :)

Godot 4 custom physics engine?

If you can't beat, block em
I know you mean PhysX how it was WAYYY back (& GPU accel), but it's been open source for ages.

I looked into KSP2 Code, here is what I've found
Unity’s default physics engine is literally PhysX (https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX).

Does anyone know how VPhysics (Source's implementation of Havok) do such a good job at solving the bullet through paper problem?
It all gets petty hairy.. which is why writing physics engines is Hard, and you should be pretty skeptical when someone is like: "Hay gauis I made a new phYsics engine!! you should totally use it!" Even the big guys thrash around in this space.. as someone mentioned in another comment... although there is sometimes a case to be made for rolling your own, if you're valve for instance.. All that said, I'm really partial to Bullet just because it's so damn battle tested (unity/blender and countless other engines) But I'm generally pro havok/physX and also the newer Jolt physics library. https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX https://github.com/ashconnell/physx-js https://jrouwe.github.io/JoltPhysics/

y'all forgot that NIS existed.
PhysX has gone open source quite a while ago as well: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/UnityPhysXPlugin
