@mindstalker Warning, huge Spoiler: You have being warned, don`t read until you have examined the emergency ascender... No, don`t look! I told you now...

Hi there, glad you made it so far... The route to the abandoned emergency ascendvehicle... there are many ways to get there... Going straight uphill with 6x6 drive is very energyhungry, i prefer going around the mountainrange on 4x4. The Skiaparelli craterrim has only two entrances worth passing and the highlands between have some ugly drops which afford full attention... I think its okay. going faster than 20 m/s isn`t recommended, even less is dangerous. You can flip toppled rovers back to level; use gear, get out and push, take seat and extend the wheels again. Bob can do it:D

I am playing my own mission during the last few weekends... ...While escaping Duna with the Kres IV Ascendvehicle for a direct intercept with the Kermes which buzzes by the planet in ridiculous speed... "What the hell am i doing here? It couldn`t be much more of a madness. But it works..." - just like in Andy Weirs Cinematic. Freaky. I`m glad the DeltaV is sufficient for a solid and proper reenactment. To all who made it this far - sorry it`s still not over here. The crap steams strong until Kerbins Dessert runway... Bring him home!

Actually only KSP gets my interest since years. Anything else is just random, repackaged, remade, boring, repetetive, or just plain bad entertainment.

Hey, we now have @SpaceFruit`s, mmhhhh! Welcome!

Thank you, i "cobbled" on this mission during holidays (about 130 and then some more hours ), a true work of my heart and assembled in a "binge" kind of speed, with frequent truely brutal playtesting and at one point a complete rebuild from scratch, i could have slapped myself into my face for my own stupidity... I made quite alot of background investigation on the subject of the "The Martian" Cinematic and was focussed on a true Kerbal lore fitting adaption of the happenings, with a balanced but still challenging missionflow. There are so much constraints and edgecases to account, i was prettty much exhausted after finishing the final version... I`m really glad that it seems that people are challenged by this Mission, so my goal was met from my perspective. Having me featured in the PC gamer magazine was simply unbelieveable, i am still amazed and feel honored to support KSP and SQUAD in some unexpected way. Cheerz!

Hi there, it is somewhere in the midsection, a extendable one

Hi @Nertea, i just discovered a issue withe the 5 and 7.5 diameter fairings from NF Launch Vehicles, color is off at the moment...

AAAHHHH! Again! I never thought this would become such an successfull mission, nearly 2000 people have allready downloaded this from STEAM... And i am glad to see rather few rants about Bob`s severe stuckness on Dunas Acidalia Planitia...

Thank you so much for updating your work, NFT is the only reason i run a modded KSP. I am thinking about creating a insane MH mission with your parts, Cheers Mikki, big fan here!

Allready testing vehicles

Oh, glad to see there is still some time left...pheeww.

Why is this challenge not on the main forum page? All crazy KSP fans must participate! @Triop, i will make an entry sunday evening, great challenge, cheerz! Dune buggys, YESSSSS!!!!

@Hastermain, hi there, glad you could figure it out. Good luck!

family, neighbours, workmates. Maybe cats and dogs.

It is a bear nibbling on a lamb. The legs are allready off, obviously bear preps for hibernation. I`m afk due cooking.

@Zosma Procyon, can you post a pic of said crater? From orbit, so we can study your issue

Verify gamecache on steam, maybe?

And welcome to the forums!

@Peder, hi there To your issues on fueltransfer: I have noticed that fueltransfer does not work if any resource miniscreen is pinned to the screen, like battery or fuelcellstatus or any other. Did you check any dockingport for enabled crossflow... i guess you did. Tanks open? Open tanks to connect with ALT+leftclick one by one. Congrats for making a proper probedrop... Keeping the DSN connection is tricky... I decided to overengineer the vessels to around 120%, to give the player a certain amount of freedom in trajectory and strategy. In real life most stuff is buildt with safetymargin aswell. Mentioned behaviour in the VAB is given by the software

@Peder I hope you can wrap your mind around this adventure. I have made this for seasoned players to challenge their knowledge. Good luck!

Hi there @Peder I have buildt this mission on a absolute 100% vanilla install to avoid any issues, i can only suggest to reset the mission after updating the base game. You might also want to verify your game cache trough Steam... I can not support issues on heavy modified installations for obvious reasons, and as far as i am aware of (Just tested it again) the mission does run on KSP 1.4.5 MH 1.4. (Most recent) I am planning a full test (including Dessert airfield recovery) sunday morning to verify the intended behaviour. Thank you nonetheless for pointing at possible trouble I am investigating The habitat issue... i never thought about blowing it up... i allways transfer Bob to the exit pod... Its not meant to blow the Greenhouse up....

Switch on the juice of the fuelcell? Handbrake?

I think it`s actually true that male Kerbals can only shout "AAAHHHH!" and female Kerbals use to whistle if they like. As seen in UV`s Kerbal Parody...

You will face hilarious, unforgiving and meaning of life questioning tasks. Luckily nobody spoiled what`s really going on on Duna. You might want to buy a bucket icecream and potatochips before getting stranded like never before. And you need coffee, cheats are disabled. And you must buy your GF some expensive flowers if you can pull Bob home.
