Does the little “Grabber” ship need a communication device to work on Minmus. They worked independently on orbit around Kerbin. But when trying to use them around Minmus they could not be controlled. When I docked to another ship the RCS thrusters worked great. Why did they work around Kerbin but NOT on Minmus? I will upload screenshots of the small grabber vehicles. It docked to the main mother ship. Also showing the thrusters working when docked to a smaller delivery ship. Please help as I need to recovers some things in orbit and landed on Minmus. Can I bring communication devices to then attach to the “Grabbers” already in orbit of Minmus? https://imgur.com/R0xMqaL https://imgur.com/kAlEE96 https://imgur.com/UX5c9Ok https://imgur.com/n5utEwk

Thank you all for your help. I did verify the integrity of the files and there were 6 errors but that did NOT resolve the problem. But I did resolve the problem. I had done a complete backup of the entire Kerbal sub directory 2 weeks ago. I renamed the corrupt one and copied over the old one and I was able to log onto the older setup. I then transferred a few of the most recent save files. I was about to then select them once the game started again. I did also copy over the most recent copy of the ships file as well. It does appear that I am back in business. I tried to upload a screenshot of my one station on the mun on day 44

Thank you for your quick response. I have tried your approach. Unfortunately when I do that that the default game I click on does nothing. It show the default but says that I have just started. Can you be more specific as to the exact file location you want me to place the renamed quicksave file as persistent file. Do I also need any meta data files? I do greatly appreciate your time and consideration. Dan

While playing Kerbal space the power went out for just one second. After computer reboot, The program says that I have to start over. I have at least 8 persistent files from the last 24 hours and many more saved files. How do I start the game using these files and/or saves. Steam says that I have played 384 hours since I bought the game 35 days ago. I would really HATE to start all over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dan Bair

Your spreadsheet is awesome. It has helped this newb mine much science from the Mun and Minmus with landers and a Science lab. I want to do the same thing on Duna and Ike. Although you show that the science for each experiment per biome on Minmus you don't show all the biomes on Ike or Duna. If I land on all 8 biomes on Ike and do a surface sample on each. Will I get science from each different one, like on Minmus or just one? I don't want to send much extra fuel for all of those landings and take offs if they won't help me get more science. Thanks again for your spreadsheet and your advice.

Great, that solved the problem. Thanks. - - - Updated - - - Great and thanks. I will try to remember that.

I have now had this great game for a couple of weeks. I have rescued 3 kerbals from space. These now empty capsule litter my low orbit. How to I eliminate them from my global views? Many thanks for your consideration.
