Hey guys So i just updated to 1.0.5 and MechJeb isn't working. I know this has been asked before, and I'm aware that there is a site I can go to to get the new MechJeb Mod. But the problem is I am an idiot with computers. I know how to install a mod, and thats about it. I just want to make sure that when I update MechJeb, all my existing flights with MechJeb parts won't get destroyed (this happened when I was trying to use Karbonite and I did some dumb stuff). Anyways, basically what I'm asking is for some kind soul to take the time to tell me the steps I need to take to do this properly. Thanks a ton!

I think I have the current version of both karbonite and SCANsat. This is going to sound bad, but do you know how I can check? I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

I do have a karbonite scanner on my probe. It tells me the instantaneous measure of karbonite in orbit, above a certain area, but it doesn't feed to to the scansat map.

Hey everyone. So I recently got into the field of mods and one of the first ones i downloaded was Karbonite, as I wanted a way to refill larger ships far from Earth. Someone suggested that I also download scansat, so I could scan planets and find where the resources are. So I have done that, and fully scanned both Kerbin and the Mun, but I have a problem. The map just shows altitudes at different points. I know that the resources are tied to the biome, but I don't know what biome to target, nor do I know what the biomes are on the Mun. Another thing I don't understand is the Anomalies. What are they? Thanks to anyone who responds to this! RJ

Sick I appreciate it

-shooty: Thanks a bunch. That's exactly what I needed. The scanning mod is great, and I'm gonna install the toolbar one now. Thanks mate. -Captain Sierra: All a misunderstanding bro. No problem. Thanks for the great explanation. I would be interested to see a picture of your refueling base, and the design of the ship you use to ferry it up to another ship. Thanks man!

Youre absolutely right, I was very vague. My intent is just to figure out the system. I was trying to construct a lander that could refuel itself that I could fly to some other point in kerbin and test out the refueling process. My intent is to eventually use it for a interplanetary mission. Should I quit now and try kethane? As for the first part of your post, I did not understand really any of that (I apologize my gaming experience is minimal and I'm new to mod-lingo if that makes sense). Is there another mod that i need to download in order to use karbonite (or kethane) in that way? If so, what is that called? Again I apologize for my limited knowledge of the language and the system. I'm trying to learn all of this. Thanks! ~RJ

Hey so I just downloaded Karbonite and it looks really awesome. Just one problem: I have no idea how to use it. Really I only have two questions: How should I set up a lander that would drill for Karbonite? A picture would be great, but maybe a parts list in order would suffice. How can I effectively scan for karbonite. I've seen screenshot were people have maps of the planets with karbonite spots in orange on them. I have no idea how to make that happen. Thanks in advance for your help! ~RJ

So for future reference, if anyone experiences this same problem, it was not an error with the mod at all. The problem was with the crew members I fired. Here's a link to another thread which explains it all: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/105501-Cannot-do-anything?p=1639952#post1639952 Thanks to everyone who commented on this thread!

Dude that worked perfectly!!! Thanks so much. No problems whatsoever. Well, jeb and bob are still dead, but thats a problem for later.

-5thHorseman: I'm really quite dumb, I never quicksave. I tried loading my quicksave and it was from like 5 months ago. Not even worth it in my opinion. But thanks for the suggestion. -Claw: Thats exactly what I did. I killed Jebediah and Bob in a test launch and forgot to revert. I figured since it was a sandbox game they would just come back, so I clicked the little 'x' on them in the astronaut center. I'll scan through my persistence file and see if i can find them. Thanks!

Here's my problem. When I boot up KSP, i choose my sandbox game (where I have all my progress and infrastructure) and get shown the view of the space center. However, when I go to click on the rocket construction center, it lights up but will not open. No matter how many times i click it it will not open. This is true for the spaceplane hangar and the place that shows you all of your flights. I can click on the science tree building and the astronaut center, but once i leave those the game totally stops responding. I cannot click on any building nor can i go back to the main menu, I have to quit the game. I have determined that the problem lies in the persistence file. I copied the persistence file from my saved game and copied it into a new, clean game. The same problems endured. I have no idea what to do about it and I really want to keep all of my progress. Thanks in advance p.s. I am a complete novice when it comes to computers and gaming. Keep it simple. Thanks

Alright I have no idea how to do that, but I'll try and figure it out. Thanks! - - - Updated - - - So I'm convinced that the problem is in the persistence file. I copied the persistence file of my save game and loaded it onto a clean slate game. This resulted in the same problem. Going through the entire persistence file would take me years, and even there I wouldn't know what to look for. Any ideas? Thanks

Creating a new save seems to work just fine. Is there any way for me to transfer all the progress ive made on my current sandbox mode to another save? If that makes any sense?
