How to increase distance I can right-click with a kerbal?

[Toflix_Gamer]

Hey all!

I just reinstalled KSP after a long time.

And I found some nice mods, like KAS and KIS. With that, I tried building a refueling-station on Kerbin, and I used the little pump-ports to transfer fuel between the fuel-station and my craft.

But I found out, that I can't right-click very far when controlling a kerbal. Because of that, I can't reach the pump-port to link a cable to it, when the fuel-tank of my craft is too high up.

Is there any way to increase the distance I can right-click with a kerbal? I can't open the context-menu, it doesn't even react to my click.

 

I hope, you understand, what I mean. I'm german and my english is not the best.

What celestial body are you on? Aren't you willing to just fly up to the tank and click on it while it's close?

Short answer: You can't.

Longer answer: It's not the Kerbal it's the parts.

Actual answer: I don't know about KAS/KIS, but for science parts it's the setting interactionRange in the module ModuleScienceExperiment. Look for similar in the configs for KAS. Or it could be a global setting somewhere. I don't know because I've never really gotten back into KAS/KIS since they added drills and hammers.

Open the file GameData/KIS/settings.cfg with a text editor. Look for EvaPickup - maxDistance. By default, it's 3 meters (for scale, a Kerbal is a little more than 1m tall). Personally I like to set it to 10m, but I've heard that you can set it to thousands of meters without ill effects.

I tried it on Kerbin and it didn't work there because the gravity is too high for using jetpack...

I changed the Pickup-Distance in the KIS-Settings and that thing worked perfectly. But I can only pick up items now, but not interact with them...
