I'm tempted to load this just for the explosion lol

Oops, guess it's one of those mods that are so essential to me I forgot it was even a mod. Kinda like "Editor Extensions" in case I need 50 boosters wrapped around a tank.... or something hehehe

lol R&D is apparently painting all my rovers in explodium too

BEHOLD!!! This looks absolutely glorious full-sized on the VAB wall lol 10 Points for anyone who gets the reference

Alright thanks guys That'll help me plan out future missions

So it is storage for science and doesn't havent the command pod warning of "cannot store" when you try to duplicate? An you still store it manually?

Ok... think I misunderstood the lab as a "science repository". "Process in lab" seems to indicate that I'm able to EVA and take the samples directly from the individual science modules. Then back to the command pod, clean w/ the lab, repeat. So there's no "transfer" of data to the lab itself, just the ability to reuse modules and increase transmit value? Was hoping I could pickup all the science from one place, seems I need to pick it all up manually.

Lab shows 5 reports (2 goo, 2 jr, 1 thermo)... I have the option to transmit or keep. No way to transfer or "take" in EVA that I can see...

Ok... messing with this on the Launchpad. I have a Lab with some Goo and ScienceJrs attached. I take readings > choose process in lab EVA and head to lab, click on lab door, no options to get reports. (the reports are worth 0 points, wondering if that may the the problem)

hmm... I'll try it again. It didn't seem to work.

Thanks guys! Here's a few I didn't find mentioned... You can turn off batteries. Especially important on early tiers with no solar panels. Why power things when you're just in time acceleration? Your Kerbals can repair parts in EVA. Broken rover wheel? No problem. Your Kerbals can remove and install parts in EVA. This rover needs a battery, I'll just tear one off my lander... yoink! Your Kerbals can repack chutes in EVA. You can board an external seat from a distance. You may not need that ladder. Test on Kerbin, but you can probably just enter the external seat from the ground.

The goal is... 1) Permanent Lab/Fueling Station in orbit around each planet and their natural satellites 2) Undock a lander to get samples/readings 3) Redock, xfer samples to Lab, reset science modules 4) Repeat for new biomes <-- all planets better get some soon! 5) Load it all up science in the command module*, leaving the lab behind in orbit 6) Return to Kerbin w/ just a single command module and all the science. *Is that possible? If so, could someone lay out the exact steps? I must be missing something...
