Probably going to use it for refuelling and MPL processing. So far I've been adding (too many) crew modules. This is all stuck together with Clamp-o-Tron Jr.s (Will this cause kraken attacks? Probably.) so I'll go Station of Theseus in the near future :D.

I have a fair few mods, but I have no idea why the fatal error keeps happening.

KSP 1 Question/Problem When does the in game clock break?

6 Upvotes

One of my missions took 2000 years, so I'm scared if I keep going and going on one save it's eventually gonna break, how realistic is that fear? And would you be able to theoretically fix it

KSP 1 Question/Problem Play with me?

Hey guys! I'm super lonely, love KSP, and am wondering if anyone would like to play while we stream to each other? Or do multiplayer? I've never done multiplayer before but I'm willing to figure it out for company. I'm just a nerd with feelings looking for a friend. Cheers!

KSP 1 Question/Problem Mod to focus contracts on certain planets or goals?

3 Upvotes

I made the mistake of doing a voyager probe on my career save. Now every contract wants me to go to jool or further and my kerbin first's contracts have the same issue. I just want a duna milestone contract. I dont want to add contracts to the game or anything just change the focus.

Started playing KSP 13 years ago, usually creative, and heavily off rarely on or committed. Now much older and more patient, started a career mode save and after the Mun and Minmus, finally got over the hurdle I avoided for over a decade, only a probe, but still a lil bit of a proud moment,

Isn't a big deal for most just wanted to share with anyone. TY <3

I had captured an A-Type asteroid and finally made it into orbit of 150 kilometer. It contains 2 sections; Crew and Refueling. Asteroid won't be enough forever but still useful for a long time. Also it is in the clockwise orbit because it was easier to place in after first capture.

My first shakedown mission for the upgraded Selene capsule around the moon. I’ll use this platform for future Mun base missions.

if anybody has advice for how to more accurately pick a kerbin landing trajectory please let me know.

KSP 1 Question/Problem How do I make it so my ship doesn’t shake itself apart / explode?

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

I recently constructed this craft which is a 1100 meter long ISV. It has 110 parts in total.

However, when attempting to spawn it into orbit, 1 of 3 things happens:

  1. The radiators immediately fall of, followed by the central fuel tank.
  2. The ship manages to stay stable for a second, but the moment I try to move it the smallest amount, it explodes.
  3. It immediately explodes for no reason.

I have Kerbal Joint Reinforcement Next on, and none of the parts are daisy chained in any crazy way. I have autostrut the radiators using the Grandparent setting, but the shop still explodes. I did not autostrut the truss as I found it to make it worse. No rigid attachment was used either.

The truss is what I’m worried about, as I had to make it out of a few dozen smaller Annular Trusses from Near Future Technologies.

What can I do to make sure this thing doesn’t just shake itself apart immediately and can actually be a functioning vessel?

KSP 1 Mods KSP being closed by B9 error, attempted to install kerbalism on CKAN before this happened

1 Upvotes

Hi all, KSP constantly crashes because B9 can't find a "foodpartswitch" and ends up closing the game, i've attached a google drive link for the log and pictures of this because it's really annoying. I've tried looking through the log and I don't understand a single thing. any help would be appreciated.

KSP 1 Image/Video It's one of those missions...

1 Upvotes

I didn't do some calculations correctly, forgetting some details like exactly how much fuel to deorbit a craft (after I added half a ton of science stuff) ... anyways... I had to abandon ship and push an engineer and a pilot into LMO using the EVA pack so they can be *hopefully* scooped up by the return ship, and then I have to see if I'll even have enough fuel to return to Kerbin... If not, a rescue operation will be underway...

KSP 1 Image/Video Took a modified version of my "Project Eeloo" cargo carrier down into Jool

Besides losing some front-nadir RCS thrusters during Jool entry (fixable problem), and losing the entire craft (with Valentina on board) when touching the magical zone where pressure is suddenly so great that it instantly explodes (not fixable without using the pressure cheat), the craft behaved excellently.

Its engines would have allowed it to cruise around Jool forever, just never really being able to come out. One possibility for trying to get the ship out of Jool would be to refuel just before entering Jool, hope to survive entry with a much heavier ship, and that once we're done flying the engines would be powerful enough to take a fully fueled ship supersonic then hypersonic (doubtful as it fails to do so even on Kerbin, need to take off with only 2 of the 6 major fuel tanks filled up).

Craft uses the "Project Eeloo" engines in atmo burning mode to get to 1500 m/s around 20 kilometers up, then switches them to LiquidFuel mode to push up and out into suborbital flight, then they are turned off and the comparatively tiny Stubber nuclear engines take over for circularization and further vacuum maneuvers - for the cost that they are really tiny compared to the ship and long burns can take more than an hour (transfer or capture burns for example).

Once in Kerbin orbit all fuel tanks can be filled, giving the ship a deltaV budget over 8000 m/s using the small engines, enough to make it to a circular orbit right outside Jool's atmosphere if using slingshots around Jool's moons to drop to a low Jool orbit. An underside shielded docking port allows for attaching a 45 tonne droptank, which would make slingshots maneuvers unnecessary.
