Exactly, unused RAM is wasted RAM. However, some platforms (erh, Windows), gets into severe page thrashing if getting close to full RAM, and either crashes or grinds to a halt. Personally I have current stats of my main box displayed on an old laptop, and if it looks that I'm heading into trouble I restart.

Be careful with the Habsburgs, they tend to degenerate badly ...

Remember radiators can only dissipate heat if the environment is cooler than the radiator. Otherwise it becomes a heater ...

Unless you want (or have to) stay of mods then DMagic's EVA Transfer is golden for this. With this you don't have to actually connect, just get close enough and j.random engineer can grab a fuel hose and hike over to the target. (I've even MM-hacked it for further range, because I'm lazy). As a matter of fact, I basically add a EVA Transfer knob to every design, regardless, since it means that you can refuel anything anywhere, with the need for docking ports. And I find it far more realistic than using the OP Claw(s) for such things.

Mine grabs far less, this is the Linux stats: Virtual Size | Resident Sixe 9862060 | 7242952 So a tad shy of 10 GB

This bordering on 'out of KSP' but, getting a heli on Duna is hard. I managed with a quad and kind of cheated using the OP gyros and the KAL to level out the reaction. (On Duna, not Mars) I still regard it as "A Challenge(tm)"

Technically (and I'll have to work to stay level here) there's no difference on where you get the mod. The key is to get the correct version of the mod for your version of KSP, and install it, and dependencies correct. So in the end, you use CKAN, or you're on your own,

Ah, but designing a rover that isn't slow and lumbering (and doesn't flip over and die) is a "Challenge(tm)" Just look at Ginny and Percy at Duna Mars today. Like travelling ISRU (hrm, Moxie).

Everyone is different. I prefer to do the special piloting once, after that it just becomes tedious work for me.

Erh? I've got a 15 yo grandson

A bit hard to tell from the pics but simply. Core with fuel priority at 0 (of more than one tank, lower higher up) Decoupler with cross feed on. Booster tanks with fuel priority higher than any in the core (again lower higher up in the stack but lower than core). Staging set to fire both main and boosters, and then to stage the decouplers (when the boosters are empty, or automagic if using MJ). That way the engines will drain from the bottom booster tanks and up, and when the all booster tanks are empty, stage 'em.

Please note that "report" doesn't mean as bad as it sounds. It's just a tool to alert our most beloved overlords moderators to take a look at a post for them to evaluate

pic of that ship? First, drop the external fuel ducts, they are useless. Second, what kind of boosters? SRB are out (unless you go for my fancy hybrid setup).

Btw, found this thread, where we speak more about asparaguses-ish

You need to enable 'advanced tweakables' in the settings, then both cross feeds and fuel prios should show up in the properities pane.

Asparagus is still a good thing, but you don't need external fuel pipes any more. Fuel cross feed in decouplers and fuel priorities does the job.

That's almost how I play. I rarely fast forward for more than some hours.

It will result in some wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff ...

Another hit me as I looked at log. It looks like you running thru steam. Try navigating to the install directory, open a terminal window and start the KSP.x86_64 executable directly. As in just "./KSP.x86_64" Even if it doesn't work there's a good chance that you'll get some hints when it fails.

I run KSP on Ubuntu 20.04 with no issues. With latest Nvidia Xdrivers 460.73.01 With cmdline "LC_ALL=C DRI_PRIME=1 ./KSP_1.11.2/KSP.x86_64"

Well the rules are simple, post something interesting

I gave up on Windows years ago

Erh no. KSP is a singlethread CPU hog, with RAM and GPU memory bandwidth as second issue. The problem in this case is that Laptops suck when it comes to this kind of upgrades. The only thing you can do is getting an SSD if you don't have one already. I recommend saving up some cash (or even scrounge some bins, you'd be amazed what people throw away) and start to build a stationary.
