This week I: Bought a graphics card, but didn't have drivers for my old LMDE2 Forced it to Debian Jessie and ploughed all the way up to Buster Realized that the CPU cooler's thermal paste had gone stale, decided to switch the stock AMD cooler for a Thermaltake Upgraded to KSP 1.3.1 Enjoyed loading my space stations without my computer shutting down

Tremble, cores 1-7, for core0 will claim his long-yearned revenge!

Thanks for the heads-up. Bumping for @HarvesteR

Into the lake with weights tied to his feet!

In the software industry, one of various philosophies is to "Deploy Early, Deploy Often". That lets the user enjoy the finished features as soon as possible. Instead of having to wait another month or so for telemetry, you can now make use of the features that are already done. You may happily wait 2-3 weeks or more for this one specific feature, but a great number of people, including me, are eager to make use of the improvements that already have been developed, tested, and proven, like multithreaded physics.

How should we parse that? Is it absolutely forbidden for anything to explode at all, or is everything okay as long as the payload survives?

This comes to mind: What If? Model Rockets

The few issues I've had with the claw have appeared when I used multiple claws per ship and shook them vigorously. Even then, I think they had to be attached to each other with both armed in order for them to summon the kraken. I currently have a station in orbit with two claws and have yet to have any issues with those. It may be because both are locked and not attached to each other, and the station is in orbit. If you don't plan to shake your base around, you may be fine; be sure to back up everything first though. If your base is on wheels and has a forward or backwards-facing docking port accessible to the buggy, you could replace one of the claws with a docking port and it will be Absolutely(tm) kraken-free. Screenshots of your base and the relative position of the ISRU will be helpful! Edited 2016-01-24T21:32-03:00 : Added picture

If you're willing to play hide-and-seek with the Kraken, I could suggest attaching them with an electric buggy with two claws, one on each end. If you forgot to add a drill and ore tank, now could be a good time to add them as part of the buggy. The delivery of the buggy to the premises is left as an exercise to the reader.

Am I really going the first to say "Duna Donuts"?

Given that 1.1 will finally take advantage of multicore processors, I don't think it will really be necessary...

When is the Hammer Head coming? Maybe even the Bebop? Excellent work!

I've used the Basic Fin once, and given every single part at least a thought, so one vote for the Micronode.

I prefer to imagine some poor intern spending hours on end torching the excess ablator off
