Greattttttt

I just made a duplicate folder of my original one. Then renamed the duplicate "KSP .23.5" & the original "KSP.24". How's that? Will KSP be able to distinguish between which one I want to use at a particular point in time?

So, I have to re-launch, re-dock, and all of that?

How do I go about backing it up? Do I just copy and paste an alias folder somewhere?

I'm in the proccess of building a space station, and I needed to attach a probe to my science lab in order to control it, but I planned on decoupling the probe after I docked. Well, whenever I try and decouple it, the decoupler gets left on the science lab, and blocks its docking port. I've tried right clicking and decoupling, and just hitting the space bar to go to the next stage, and they both have the same outcome. This is procedural parts, btw. Here are pictures for reference: http://imgur.com/a/32Epb#1

Also, can senior docking ports connect to regular docking ports?

So basically its no use to build one, because it will just stop spinning? If so, then I'll draw up something else.

If I have a command module docked to a multi-docking surface, and I want to put another module on the direct opposite side of that multi-docking node, and then have them perform a roll thrust using RCS, would the entire thing spin? Or can I get JUST the command modules to spin with out getting the multi-docking attachment to spin also?

I loaded up a quick save (F5 & F9), and I didn't want to do that, so how do I now load up my last in game AUTO save?

Yeah, i don't have those engines. Ok, so how is there a specific ratio that I should be shooting for? I have KER installed, and I know how much delta V is in each stage, so why should I need to worry about the fuel-mass ratio? For efficiency? After completing my first rocket of the family, I have this: Stage zero contains 2 solid boosters burning at 92 seconds. First stage is UDMH & N2O4. It has two RD-253's. Both stages combined gives me 6k delta V, 1.3 TWR at launch pad, and 1.35 TWR after booster separation. My second stage contains hydrolox, with the RL10A-4(two) engine, giving me a TWR (in vaccum) of .59, and 6k delta V. ' I'm assuming that my first stage will get me high enough to where that TWR shouldn't affect me. Although, it might be a little low for only a 6k delta v first stage? I can try replacing that engine with a slightly higher thrust engine?

I'm currently trying to build a rocket family, and my smallest rocket is going to be able to put 6.2T into LEO up to 500km. I don't know the exact delta V for a 500km orbit, but I just gave it an extra 2k deltaV up to 11,500. So I divided that by 2 and am going to make it 2 stages, both containing 5750 delta V. My second stage is liquidH2/LOX. It's engine is the RL10A-4 (two), it has 198 thrust & 158 (ASL)-451(vacuum) isp. The first stage I haven't started working on yet, but I was going to put RP-1, and scale it with an engine that will get 5750 delta v. Could some please expand further on the mass-to-fuel ratio? I've never heard about that before. What is a general rule of thumb when using it? (i.e. the heavier the rocket, the higher the ratio?) <--- Just an example...

Is that the astroid NASA grabbing claw?

It has a docking port nose cone, so I may be able to just have a cube docking port on top of the fuel tank, then extend it over the lander using multiple docking ports. I guess i'll just have to do that then?

I have a lander on the mun, and want to land a fuel tank right next to it to refuel, but i'm not sure how I would transfer the fuel...

I have tried everything in order to fix the tech limits in my career mode, and no matter what I do, it never works. I have created a .cfg file in my game data with the code for invalidating all the tech limits, and still nothing. Then I tried just changing all the tech limits to 'start', and still nothing. I'm so lost on what to do at this point. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Nvm, found the problem

Tried that as well, and no go....

I did just that, and it didn't work?

9,400 to get into LEO, 3127 to get an encounter, i think (roughly) 400 to circularize, and another 1700 (i believe) to bring orbit down to around 100km

Can anybody answer where exactly do I place the new patch?

It's not just me trying to cheat out of a challenge, considering the fact that i'm using realism overhaul, and it makes no sense to try and scramble through fuel tanks to see which ones fit. It's actually more realistic to just be able to make the tank meet my requirements, because that's exactly how it is done in the real world. Engines evolved, not tanks. And also, in order to get 15k delta V to go to the mun with a lander, it basically requires me to have a HUGE amount of tanks that I have to just keep stacking on each other which gives an extreme unnecessary amount of parts (and extreme lag/bad stability on the rocket). It as well restricts me to certain diameters, and I need to be able to use any different size I can get, because that will allow me to create a more realistic rocket. I have no intention of just cheating my way through the tech tree, that is part of the fun. All I need is just a way to make procedural parts' fuel tanks do what ever I need them to do.

Also, where do I copy & paste this into? Here is the current code:

This is for the newest version?

I'm talking about the procedural parts mod.... not squad parts

In career mode, procedural parts only has tanks that can be sized to a certain amount. I think you have to unlock the tech tree to be able to have tanks that can be sized to any size, but I don't want to do that, so how do I adjust the .cfg file to make it available right now?
