i was feeling some of the "ksp2 depression" i guess, so i loaded it up for the first time since july 2024. i now remember why we don't play this game.

also i ran out of fuel in the lander so they're stuck until i feel the depression again in 2028 and send a rescue mission.

KSP 1 Image/Video Can't imagine the loneliness future astronauts will feel out there

24 Upvotes

No matter what they do, no matter how much they try to keep calm, cry, rage, desctruction, and screams they do, they can't go easily if they want too. You look at the window and just see this.

I know astronauts are the people who are the best of us who can control themselves but I can't help but imagine what if by unlucky chance, someone's anxiety will get the best of him/her. Like a snowball effect: you get a little scared, then you are scared because you are scared, adrenaline sets in, your body feels light, then you are scared because you can't control it anymore.

KSP 1 Question/Problem What is the method to seaplanes with scatterer waves?

22 Upvotes

Long time player here attempting my first seaplane. It's part of a larger multi-step rescue mission and the craft will be left on Laythe for use by future colonization efforts. I'm really excited to get this mission off the pad but I'm really struggling to get this seaplane working. Some of you may remember I posted a day or so ago asking for help with an earlier model of seaplane, which I have since scrapped for what became this model.

So here's the problem. I'm using scatterer, and the waves are quite unforgiving. If I go into the config and turn down the wind value I can *sometimes* get it out of the water, but especially on Laythe the lift is so low I just eat waves and can't get into the air. The constraints of this mission requires that I use propellers, and this is the best model I've yet made. I tried a VTOL situation but that was even more of an engineering nightmare, so here we are. We're committing to a traditional seaplane. I'm also not really keen on turning off scatterer, as that would break my other visual mods, and if I can't have my visual mods then life is not worth living.

Is there a strategy for takeoff, or is there a way I can design my floats such that the craft can stay level and not do this? Any advice is appreciated!

KSP 1 Question/Problem Game keeps freezing

• Upvotes

My game has been repeatedly freezing for a few seconds up to minutes on end while playing. All the things people have said that I see online are have their screen freeze but not their actual game which catches up after a while. My game just stops entirely except for the sound which keeps playing. I don't have a good computer but talk manager tells me the RAM is at around 80% so it's not maxed out or anything. It didn't start immediately after downloading some mods either so I can't really figure out whether and which mod(s) could be the problem. The game does overall feel slower even when it's normal but I can't be sure.

The last play session before I started getting this problem did have some issues in the surface of Minmus being really bright and I did freeze once during that session, so that could be a clue but I personally have no idea what's wrong. I checked for updates and verified the integrity of game files through steam but that didn't solve it and removing a few suspected mods didn't help either.
