[resources in chaos]

According to SCANsat I can look for ore, metallicore, minerals, substrate, uraninite and water.

Can anybody provide a stack of pointers to the heap meat on all this? (Except for Ore, that's in the WIKI)

two weeks is what i heard. so i'm trying Nova Punch for now.

[Some questions about engine models]

I always had to ckeck the normals one by one in Blender. it's an art. you can flip and recalculate all you want, yo still have to check them individually.

(educate me) why do you need a script to do normal maps? In GIMP, I just select the texture i want use and map it. almost trivial.

Here's something i did in Sketchup a while back. You can import into Unity as dae file. (i've done it). Sketchup is way easier.

[Make a wish... and have it horribly corrupted!]

granted, but now you can't do math.

[Team SpaceX or team NASA?]

all i know is that between the two of them, we don't have a manned space program. we can't even put a dog in orbit right now. great sadness. :\

[About recent community criticism in the direction of the QA & exp testers]

snip- the blame goes on the person who decided to put a deadline on 1.0 must come out now, when the whole community was saying it's not ready do another beta.

this!^^^^^

[aerodynamics are unbearable...]

Oh good. I was starting to worry that there weren't enough threads rewording the same arguments.

whew! and i was beginning to wonder what happened to the Forum Police 'cuz, you know, the mods can't handle it so we need heroes like you.

[career from dead zero now very difficult]

all i can say is this:

if this is consistent with your observations then i hereby admit that KSP has now passed a level beyond my capabilities. 660 hrs - it was a good run.

p.s. the problem is the lift model. what you see here is a classic example of dynamic instability. and it shouldn't be.

[career from dead zero now very difficult]

yeah, i think there will be many who give up on the first day. one reason: rockets all but impossible to control. in previous versions, it would wobble around a lot, but i could at least get it into space. new reaction wheel can only turn the smallest of rockets and i have yet to succesfully turn one past 45 without it tumbling out of control.. i'm very experienced with ksp and i'm pretty frstrated. if i was new, i would wonder what all the fuss is about because this is not fun.

"improving" the atmosphere was a nice idea, but i think it might be time t re-think that. it was much more playable in early career before.

Before responding to this post, please start a career from scratch and achieve your first orbit. then you will know what it's really like. you cannot appreciate this problem with mods and all the parts you are used to.

it should be hard, not impossible.

fwiw, i am not enjoying this version. beta than ever was beta than this.

[1.0.1 breaks part picker in SPH/VAB - Updated w/ repro steps]

This is not happening to everyone, just a handful of players so there must be a common cause amongst those affected, maybe old saves, some software you all use or other factor.

That it came out of nowhere though is worrying.

The only thing that could survive reinstall is your saves and the registry entries for KSP.

well,that's good news. means it's a corrupt save. if folks move those off and start withou them... might tell us something.

[1.0.1 breaks part picker in SPH/VAB - Updated w/ repro steps]

i'm having same problem as shown in OP picture. uninstalled, reinstalled vanilla steam, problem persists.

- - - Updated - - -

deleting settings did not fix. this is game breaking. i can't build ships. you fellas working on this? it kind of came out of nowhere - parts worked fine earlier today.

update: uninstalling, blowing away game folder (along with my saved games and craft files) fixed it. so, at least that tells us it's a corrupt something in there. somewhere. ugly little bug.

[how to get past 5k?]

okto+nosecone +fuel tank + reliant (gimbaled). can't be any simpler. Latest Mechjeb dev build can't handle it either

is 1.0.2 working for anybody? need a reality check here.

[how to get past 5k?]

no matter what i try, rocket starts tumbling around 5k. reducing throttle settings did not help. stable vertical ascent until 5k, then flips out. suggestions?

[[1.0.5] Heat Management (No longer supported)]

is there any code behind this?

[[1.0.5] Heat Management (No longer supported)]

kewl. I might be able to work on some textures for you in a few weeks (my hand is recovering from surgery). Send me a p.m. with thoughts on what you want it to look like.

[[1.02] KW Rocketry v2.7 Available - 1.02 Compatibility! - 16/05/2015]

Yes, in a couple of weeks.

whew! I can't imagine KSP without KWR. Would life even be worth living? Thank you for your continued support of this excellent product!

[Cargo Transportation Solutions (WIP)]

OK, I don't get it. I'm obviously missing some important concept here. They look cool and all, but what functionality do they provide? I can attach stuff to them, but can't take anything out. (once I'm actually out in the world). I can carry, but not unload. (If the answer is "docking ports", then why do I need cargo bays?)

What am I missing? What do these things *do*? Can somebody give me a practical example? Yes, this question really is that stupid.

[What happens if all internet goes down?]

Given the volume and scope of business critical data dependent upon the Internet for distribution, the Internet going down entirely would be equivalent to an atmospheric nuclear detonation doing pretty much the same thing with EMP.

[Nasa is considering a Manned Mission to Venus before Mars!]

You can't plant a flag on Venus. Debate over.

[Why is stability enhancer adding 2 meters?]

I have a 35.2 meter rocket with nozzles almost touching the ground. (Adding, at most 1/2 meter to the rocket's height). When I add a launch stability enhancer, it adds 2 meters, making my rocket 37.2 meters high. Why?

[RCS constantly translates forward]

Anybody ever hear of this one? While maneuvering to dock, my RCS system turned on forward translation and will not turn it off. I checked all mechjeb options, turned everything off, checked that I had no nodes set. Hit "R". Constant forward translation. Disabled RCS quads one at a time. Re-enabled. Hit "R". Constant forward translation.

RESTARTED game. Hit "R". Constant forward translation.

Anybody ever hear of this? What am I doing wrong?

[[1.1.2] Kerbal Attachment System (KAS) 0.5.8]

How does career mode affect availability? I installed what I think is the latest (KAS Master) and none of the parts are in my list. I'm up to tech level 4.

[Real World Hard Landing, KSP Style]

Ouch, my side hurts from laughing!

Ran out of charge and SAS quit working?

[Bug report]

Good deal vexx. I have almost certainly isolated it to an add-on. I'll have a look at the guidelines to see what my next step should be.

[Oxidizer and the rocket equation]

I love being around people who are way smarter than me. Thanks for clearing this up!
