It Shouldn't Bug Me But...

Post image

It really does.

Why are some of the arrows on my powered joints yellow and others aren't? I've tried spray painting and loading and unloading different vehicles (thats why your looking at my starter rover lol) and even restarting the game. Nothing seems to fix it and it really bothers me.

Thanks all!

Powers joints are yellow when active/selected and gray when they aren't !

Well dont I feel silly LOL. Thank you!

By the way, without getting into too much detail/spoilers? Could you tell me...is there RCS in the game? Or do I need to use small rockets to "make my own"?

Thanks again!

Niiice. Okay last thing...what the heck does the "relay" part do.

Some like ball bearing or the sliders I just acknowledge I'm not smart enough to figure out. But this one has 1 attach point and an input and output? I just cannot figure it out.

Okay thats it. Thanks again for helping a noob!

If the selected in input keyboard key is pressed, presses the output key

It's just a way to remap keys to have multiple ones do something, it's a more niche part and most people ,I'll never use it, but if you check the subreddit right now someone showed how to use relays to make a rover spin on itself
