Yes, but what's the point?

Your logfiles show so many ERR:s that I'm amazed that it has ever worked, regardless of version. And I'm amazed that you managed to squeeze 200+ mods and 16GB ram,

Impossible to answer since everyone is playing the game in different ways. The best solution is to make a copy of your current install and then upgrade that one and see if it works for you. If it doesn't then just go back and play that one that does.

You're correct, I assumed that the 'new' ones was from Squad but it was part of Deployable Batteries.

My best of that last is 0,5 km short

I also tend to re-iterate over lifter designs to get them 'good enough', and then reuse the same or very similar designs over and over again.

I reduce cost by efficient(-ish) designs.

1.11.2 just dropped, not 1.12

Is it leaking oil?

Part of Stock since 1.11.1 I think, but yeah lgg's hero hack solved it initially.

You need to have Advanced Tweakables enabled in settings. Then you just right click on any tank and set the priority

Or power issues. I've got a test installation like 500m from KSC that suddenly couldn't send science. Because it was dark ... The new batteries sorted that, but it was somewhat confusing, given that some lazy scientist from KSC could have _walked_ there and collected it

Just to add to the good tutorial I can add that there's a related concept often known as 'hybrid asparagus' Where you use SRB's but with LF tanks on top. The idea is to have the 'drop tanks' run out of fuel just before the SRB's It normally takes a bit of twiddling with the power of the boosters but can be highly cost efficient as a standard launcher.

But you can. Add the decouplers in pairs and set the fuel priority to drain the tanks in your chosen order. So you can setup basically any form of asparagus without any fuel lines.

Not just for adjusting your optimal pe, there's also that bloody Ike that can thrash the most perfect scenario ...

As several has suggested, you don't. Much simpler to do it without gravity assists. However, if you for some, possibly insane, reason want to dig into to that madness I'd recommend using KSP TOT Provided by our in-house madman genius @Arrowstar

Keep in mind that optimal pe for nice aero brake also depends on your ap. (Or rather your initial orbital energy state.) Starting with an ap just outside the atmosphere or screaming in with an ap outside the soi is two very different cases.

Welcome to the club. It's a common feeling around here

Ditto. Esp since I like standard launchers and normally use MJ to handle the ascent to orbit. Which gives a scary high possibility of smacking into to spent stages or other debris. My closest encounter wasn't 5km, it was more like < 50m ...

Disabling any virtual adapters _should_ do the trick.

Especially on small crafts with OP controls. Try to dial down the power of RCS and/or reaction wheels.

The launcher and updater is broken since ages back. Just download the latest version from the shop, install it and use the KSP.exe (or whatever it's called in windows or mac).

You Sir is a Hero!

find or rsync, I'm fully Linux since years back

Right, I'll add the .cfg files to my script.
