I've noticed there's a really small number of flowing water on Kerbin and managed to count only 8 systems and out of those, only 1 that's not flowing into the ocean. (map printed from Temporary Kerbal maps; numbers are in rough order of system size) Closeups, taken at the penultimate map enlargement. I think we should get proper, officially supported toponyms for all significant geographical features on Kerbin so that lore connection between players can occur. Kerbin is truly underappreciated planet, but offers the most. It seems to me these drainage basins are the most scarce ones so it might be a good idea to start with them. Hopefully, one day the names will get official. Any ideas? They could be kerbalized Earth's hydronyms or something you made up. Use the numbers from the map and suggest a name.

I made this and thought it's worth sharing: Downloads: https://github.com/maculator/Stuff

So I decided to make some arts using PlanetMaker, which is a useful tool to create planet ideas, real planets, simulated planets, and even imaginary planets. I unfortunately can't show the results because the freaking thing won't let me for some reason. But hey, at least I can prove that links will work!

While playing KSP, I wanted to know how far is the Mün from kerbin... ...Do any of you know?

Various test flights have determined that if you ever want to fly around Kerbin in one go (without intermediate stops!), you need one of these: 1,550 Liquid Fuel Two J-404 Panther jets Flap/spoiler hybrid surfaces (these ^) Flying range (under right conditions): At least 1.3 times the circumference of Kerbin, according to a simple calculation I did with my remaining amount of fuel after my record-setting flight. (just after landing) Action groups: 1: (Engine) Switch mode 2: Toggle Engine 3: Extend/retract flaps/spoilers 4: Retract air brakes (preferably after stopping) DOWNLOAD Note; For best flying performance and stability, consider installing the Pilot Assistant mod (for KSP 1.3) Any questions? Hit me up!

I happened to have a satellite in Kerbin system with a survey scanner on it (contract I think), and I haven't scanned the planet yet, so I put in 1400km polar orbit and hit scan. Ran out of battery power while transmitting results! Is there any trick that might help here? I tried toggling the "partial transmit" button, but I'm not sure which way is which and I don't know if it applies to this situation. If I lowered the orbit, would it need less electricity to communicate with the KSC? Is there some other way to get it to finish its scan? Or is the satellite just too weak?

DOWNLOAD THE MOD HERE: Welcome to the development thread for [After Kerbin]. This planet mod is set many billions of years after stock KSP. Kerbol (now called Archangel) is midway through its fast journey to becoming a red giant. It has just consumed Moho. Eve is burning, and Kerbin is deserted. You begin your journey on Duna, around a warmer Sun. Begin on a tidally locked, colonised Duna, far into the future. This planet, known as Solitude, is the Kerbals' last hope. This is Kerbin. Four billion years has purged its surface of the space-faring civilisation. FAQ: Will this planet mod add any new stars? No. This is the Kerbol system billions of years in the future. Adding a new star means you will need modded parts to get there, which I generally disagree with. It also means separating planets and sentencing them to "will not be visited". I want to make sure all planets are easily reachable but also require a challenge once there. Is this planet mod compatible with present day mods like OPM? Yep! Even the visual mods will work together (they didn't with my previous planet mod), meaning you can install nearly any planet mod except those that also replace the home planet. How much RAM do I need for this mod? 5GB at maximum texture quality. The reason why the RAM requirement is no lower is because the planets use highly detailed, 4k textures for the best experience.

This black ring occurs everytime when I launch rocket or plane. That black ring conseals everything including esc menu and It disappears when my spacecraft overs about 70km. I use ModuleManager, MechJeb, NavHud and dependencies, AtmoshphereAutopilot. I'm using laptop that contains Radeon HD 6370M and i7-2630QM. Is it occurs only me? or someone of you can see this bug? I can't find what is reason of this problem. I hope you can help me.

So we all know RSS. It makes the planets realistic size, and retextures them as real life planets. I am searching for the opposite. Is there a mod that retextures them, but keeps them the same size? I would like to use Kerbin for presentations (not those official ones) and i would like to have an earth retexture. Is there a mod like this? it doesnt have to be all planets, only for kerbin. Thanks

I've been having a problem with the mod scatterer recently, and it stopped using Kerbin's clouds. In the menu, it says it's using Laythe's "clouds" config and has none.

Today I tested the Kertimis Rocket! In case you were wondering, it didn't work. I don't know what went wrong, but I think one of the parachutes overheated and exploded, dooming all of my Kerbals to a firey death. Thank god for the Revert button! I'm still working on the Kertimis II, but it will be even bigger and even better than the Kertimis I! (note: I don't have any pictures)

Hello rocketeer ! A few days ago I landed an asteroid and set up 4 rover connected between them and to the asteroid : 1 for electricity, 1 for cooling, one for storing ore & convert it and the last one for my 5 star engineer & the drills. But seems like I can't mine it.. The drills only ask for surface harvester but nothing for asteroid case.. Here's some screenshots for a better understanding of my situation : https://imgur.com/a/5n4ig

Playing from 1.2.0 (now 1.3.1) on my save I never seen Contract with class"A" asteroid for other celestial body then Kerbin. Is this stock bug, can somebody test this on stock game. My installed mods not changing contracts.

Reach orbit in high gravity environment! Basically, this challange is just about getting orbit efficiently on Kerbin. However, with gravity multiplier cheat, it won't be easy! In these harsh environment, haul fuel/payload to orbit as much as you can! Rules: 1. No cheats allowed, aside from the gravity multiplier cheat. - Entrants should keep the gravity cheat on throughout the entry, with the multiplier given by each level. 2. No kraken drives, no clipping of functional parts. 3. The orbiter can either be manned or unmanned, refuel it in any way if you can. (Docking is allowed as well) 4. Reach stable orbit out of the atmosphere, using any ways fitting in the rules. 5. Mods allowed: - Part mods with reasonable chemical tanks/engines only. (No OP tanks/engines or other propulsion concepts) - Visual mods like Scatter, SVE and such. - Piloting mods like Mechjeb, kOS and such. - Editor mods like Part Angle Display, Editor Extension Redux and such. (Finished product should be stock craft with it) Any other mods aside from these are not allowed. Entry Submission Rules: 1. An entry should contain screenshots or videos to prove the completion. Imgur or Mission Reports is recommenfed. 2. At least one of the screenshot should contain debug screen indicating that only gravity cheat with appropriate multiplier is on. More than once is recommended. For video submissions, show it once and capture continuous process to orbit in the video. 3. Screenshots should include craft in VAB(for total mass), on LaunchPad, liftoff, subsonic flight, gravity turn, supersonic flight, high atmosphere flight, reaching apoapsis, finishing orbit and craft on orbit and more if you want. Scoring Scheme: 1. Score is given by (Payload mass) / (Total mass) - 'Payload' means parts got to orbit which is neither fuel tank nor engine, and fuels left on the orbit. Crew cabins count as payload, but not any other multipurpose fuel tanks like wet wings. - 'Total' means every parts launched for this mission. This includes pre-launched refueling ships in orbit. Levels: I. Moderate gravity (1.7g): Reach orbit on Kerbin with gravity multiplier of 1.7. (Range of 1.68g~1.7g is allowed, due to the sensitivity of the scroll bar) I1. Spaceplanes (too) Powerful Reach orbit, using jet engines. Every bits you launched should reach stable orbit. I2. Heavy Rocketry Reach orbit without jet engines. Isp. Heavily Usable Rocketry Reach orbit without jet engines, with every bits you launched reaching stable orbit! (Yes, this one is specially aimed for conquering a *punishing* body) II. High gravity (3g): Reach orbit on Kerbin, with gravity of 3g! 2.88g~3.0g is allowed. III. Super gravity (5g): Reach orbit on Kerbin with gravity of 5g! 4.98~5g is allowed. V. Hyper gravity (10g): Use any possible way, to reach orbit with Hyper gravity of 10g! (Only 10g is allowed, since it's at the end of the scroll bar) (This should be impossible, though let's see if I'm wrong) Results: I. Moderate gravity (1.7g) I1. Spaceplanes Powerful I2. Heavy Rocketry Isp. Heavily Usable Rocketry II. High Gravity (3g) 1. MarvinKitFox - Asparagus-staged Mammoth Rockets to 11k X 14k orbit. (Score pending) III. Super Gravity (5g) V. Hyper Gravity (10g) + My entry will be up soon! (Though I doubt I need one)

Does anyone have a working version of KSC-Switcher that works on stock Kerbin with 1.3.1? I found a version that works for 1.2.2, and whilst it works in 1.3.1, there are no new KSC launch locations. I found another site that has a screenshot of them working on Kerbin, but the download link is broken. I also know Kerbin-side exist but I like how KSC-Switcher works, and the fact that it doesn't have any extra buildings, considerably more over Kerbin-side.

I know how to move the terrain up and down (thanks @OhioBob), but how do you move the KSC? I want to lower the KSC into the water, which is now above the ground. Just knowing how to move it up and down should be enough, but I need examples 'cuz I'm kinda dumb Also, I might not be able to respond or test things right away because I'm home sick and my dad doesn't let me use electronics when I'm sick

How do I add custom static clouds in the sky without using eve? Like, clouds actually in the sky that you can fly through.

Since Solar eclipses are pretty common in KSP, how about munar eclipses? Can the Mun turn red from Kerbin's shadow for a bit during the night? Lunar eclipses seem to be underappreciated in comparison to Solar eclipses.

If someone has one I would really appreciate it!

INTRODUÇÃO Como o título sugere, o projeto foi criado com o objetivo de criar uma história para Kerbalidade, eu irei criar uma história de como o desenvolvimento da civilização Kerbal ocorreu desde o seu tempo de caçadores-coletores ate os tempos modernos onde as viagens espaciais se tornaram viáveis e o KSC foi construído, eu irei desenvolver esse projeto mais como um passatempo. O diferencial desse projeto e que diferente da maioria dos outros, que apresentam países inspirados nos da vida real, eu irei criar países e situações originais, dando mais originalidade. Me desculpa, se esta introdução foi meio curta, de qualquer forma, sinta-se livre pra me pergunta qualquer coisa.

Help getting game crashed mistake while opening the game game crashed file link https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6pNiIxsE7Jfd18wcks2bEx0LXM please help me

I made a algodoo scene called Kerbal Space Program? and it was a tiny bit similar. Screenshots: After that, share your photos to me after you built your rocket.

Did a few searches, couldn't find anything on the subject, so here goes,... We all know its possible using the stock game to align parts to the sun, due to solar panels; but does anyone know if it would be possible to align a newly created, pivot-mounted satellite dish to Kerbin, using only ingame stock mechanics/modules? So that when the part loaded, instead of facing the sun like a solar panel, it turned to face the direction of Kerbin.

This is my Report in my Mid-Early Carrer and Late-Early Carrer, about my exploration of mainly focused on Mun. Some of mods i used are MechJeb, SCANSat, KER (Not used in main missions), KIS (not used in main missions, Charter (was testing, Rarely may find) and Stratergia, Contract Configrator, Taiser Space Tech, Dmagic's Maneuver Node Extended I was first determined to recreation of original Appolo Program and Gemini Program, with extension of SkyLab. But later, I found it Time consuming, Costly and very InEfficient so i Later Droped the Idea and Used the originally Abonded Plans, which was Effective and Less Costly. The Mission Starts with First Munar Probe, Muna-1, a Sputnik with 4 panels and 4 HG-5. Send to mun flyby on A experimental NERV. 2nd mission (Some are not Included, as Probes) Include A Direct Descent Lander, with experimental Spark. This is first Manned Kerbin Orbital Mission, After a Failed orbital try, which re-enter after a few mins. This is first time a planned launcher, JOOL-I, Launcher was planned To be SSTO, but reached only 200 M/sec Delta-V of 100×100 KM circular Orbit. It was to send to Mun Cis-Lunar Orbit but, It had 10% fuel left to be later, used to Rendezvous and Docking. This is First Space Station, Kalyut-1, This was used to Practice Rendezvous and Docking, JOOL-I, docked Kalyut-1 in two mission and the Whole monolithic Station was docked, Reentered and Recovered. A Expansion of JOOL-I, with Additional Boosters and A Transfer stage, JOOL-II, made it possible for Manned munar mission, Crew Capsule however was not ejected but it needed to get in. It had first EVA, Orbit and Returned after gaining A LKO. JOOL-II launched three times. With a Mockup Test of Delta-II (Vidhyoot-II) with Lander Probe my Second launch send MUN LAB-1 Station (Monolithic), in 50×50 KM mun Orbit, its temporarily Turned OFF due to operational Cost. JOOL-II launched twice, Docked and Transferred Crew, Jeb alone. Vidhyoot-II launches the Kalyut-II as a Power House for Landers, Docking at Kerbin, stages fill the EC, MonoProp and A Bit Fuel. Transfer crew, Gergich/Valentina (Pilots) and Bill/Bob (Enginner at 1st and Scientist on Second), Transfer and docks Mun Lab I. Where Jeb enters and Gergich Takes us as Mun Lab-I Lead. Mun Lab-I Mun Lander-1 lands somewhere on 1 year, 5 Day, 4 Hrs, I did use time carefully, It took no Science but Crew Report, EVA Report, and Surfce sample, Its Ascent Stage docked Mun Lab-I, Lander was Destroyed by KIS Explosives. Vidhyoot-II launches another Kerbin Station, which is first time a Modular, later launches Mun Lab-II, which docked Mun Lab-I and renamed whole station as Mun Lab. Originally not to be modular but time makes us to rush. Mun Lab-II Mun Lander-II was heavy, Science Lander near Dark, Cratered South temperate, with all science, no Seismic sensor. It was Solar Power, All before were Fuel celled, Stations were Solar and optional Fuel Celled. Research started, JOOL-II ferred till, i consumed almost all funds on Station and Probe Exploration of Kerbin System. Now, Research is stopped, Stations Turned OFF, And planned 3rd Landing Cancelled. I will recover this soon, as i accumulated enough funds for lots of landings, stations, ferries and Exploration. JOOL-I, Vidhyoot-II are still operational, while JOOL-II is holded for MUN LAB Activation. I don't know how to put images directly to Forums, it dont work and My Imgur is Lost, I'm trying to reconnect and put some pics and expand the mission further. Plz help me putting some Images here.

Hi, I'm new to Forums, asking. I have launched lots of Exploration Mission, in Early Carrer, Mostly were Science-Return and a small Parachute helped a lot. Now, I have started Crewed Exploration, and I'm facing Reentry problems, it's good at de-orbit, but I have plans to Direct Re-Entry like Appolo-Style, Controlled Ballistic Reentry. I have Tried It from Kerbin Stationary Orbit, Wirh 3 Drag and 3 Mains, Drags get it slow, but very high altitude, I'm planning such Entry from Minimus, with 1 Drag and 3 mains and after a long atmospheric flight at low angle. Can someone help me calculating the Speed Before Re-entry, AP is 50,000,000 M. Plz. I have Launched such first mission and is enrouted to Minimus, Plz.
