Installation Directions ¹

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies) 

I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods.

CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools.

If you are having issues please let the CKAN people know and refer to the CKAN thread.

My support of CKAN extends as far as me checking the checkbox in Spacedock when I upload.

Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.

Thanks for the update and adoption.

Will the inclusion of parts such as micropad and obital doc then toe to EL or is this a standalone construction mod?

[4x4cheesecake]

Wow, its been a hot minute since we talked about this mod and I honestly thought you adopted it like 3 years ago already
Anyway, glad to see you're still rocking here

this isn't a standalone construction addon; rather it gives foundations (semi-permanent attachment between parts touching the ground, and the ground)

Thank you @4x4cheesecake! It was - and it has been - 2019, 2019 part two, 2019 part three... 2019 is a year that won't go away (or should I say 2020) 

 

there has been little to no feedback on the 1.3.37-beta - so will proceed to the 0.9.99.0-adoption prerelease. :p

and

Have I given you the proper credit?

Yeah, time dilation is strong in 2019

Uhm... sure? I mean, I didn't add anything to the mod, just updated it for newer versions of KSP but I think its fine

This mod is just an option for ground tethers.  If a landed vessel includes the parts, it doesn't slip and slide.

+1  - exactly @JadeOfMaar - and the part can be added to other parts as well. I just need to add some code to disable animations (like legs) when enabled.

Disable animations, eh? I have ideas for parts that depend on this mod and include animations (just for deploying) to rival the launch clamp and supercede the stock ground anchor. Those parts won't like that. As for your issue with landing legs, maybe don't add the module to landing legs. Then you won't get sproinged.

If you need to add code for anything, it would be to maintain orientation (I assume this mod doesn't prevent a very imbalanced base from tipping over, such as on a notable slope angle) such as to auto-level itself and the rest of the vessel with it.

That's been the plan so far.  

If I add it, I am thinking of having a [KSPFEILD] pauseAnimation = FALSE/true @JadeOfMaar

I am working on pushing out an update from the 0.1.3.37-beta on CurseForge - busy week, but working on it.

Ah. gg. I added to my post above. See: anti-roll/auto-level. If this mod can do those, I'm sure there will be a few happy campers. Stock anchor is nice but it's bugged as anything, and it's useless when you want to secure something after it has been built or landed.

Desired functionality.

hi, i'm not seeing any parts show up when i install this mod (mid-playthrough). is it compatible with the latest version of KSP, or do i need to start a new save for it to work?
