Is there a mod similar to this thats for RSS/RO/RP-1?

I can't find any, but here's a patch that should make this mod's parts real-sized (and increases mass). Untested:

Quote

//Real size rescale for MLP, untested
@PART[AM_MLP_*]:NEEDS[ModularLaunchPads]
{
@rescaleFactor *= 1.6
@mass *= 4
}

The only thing remotely like this in RO-native scale are the special towers and launch bases that Katniss is making for his series of alternate and modified Saturns. They're not modular though, just single-piece parts for the highly specialized Saturn variants he's making for his videos (one of which is a crewed Uranus mission :D ); they are available on his GitHub.

Otherwise, yes, RO now has support for Modular Launch Pads that makes them bigger.

Can i ask for the GitHub link?  The MLP glitch in ways i haven't seen with Katniss.

He means: there is no launchpad/launchtower of the Starship in real and no plans how it look like.

Look at all those pictures that can't agree what the launch pad may look like!

One: Yes, I don't make things based on some glossified render from years ago.  I need actual hardware on the pad ready to launch. The prototypes don't count.

Two: I'm not interested in any more SpaceX stuff for Modular Launch Pads. I made the Falcon 9-style strongback and added the current condition appearance to the shuttle FSS tower since Falcon 9 has been around for quite a while now, and they have uses for other rockets.  I'm leaving any Starship/Super Heavy stuff to Tundra Exploration (if Damon wants to) or someone else.

Now, if a Starship actually ends up landing on the Moon in one piece, or better yet on Mars, then I'll might reconsider. :D

Hi, I downloaded this mod, and I only get 3, tiny parts in the VAB- what's up with that? :/ 

Are you in a career game? You'll need to unlock the parts in the tech tree if so.

Kind of impossible to know what's up when there's zero information given. What version? How did you install the mod? What does your gamedata folder look like?

My guess: you're missing the required dependencies. Even in a new career game you should have several parts at the start.

Both of you might be right. I'm playing in a science mode, with the cheat that unlocks all parts in the tech tree - but since I installed this mod after I started the savegame, I might need to unlock it again. Thanks guys :) 

 

P.S. I do have the dependencies, cuz I installed it on CKAN lol

Does the MountPlatform_MLP (title = MLP General Mounting Platform) suppose to be somehow cheated to a new location, where it will be supporting a surface base? 

Also it is the only part that isn't in the CCK category.

It's meant to be used with KIS/KAS, as the suggestion for it came from that thread. That's why it's separate from the other MLP parts.

:NEEDS[KIS,KAS] then? Or add a mention of the KIS/KAS in the description of the part, please.

Also I just find out about the arm staging with the help of the Animated Decouplers mod.
Add please Animated Decouplers in the OP Recommended Mods section.
