Dunno, I've never bothered with the magnets. Just having the crane (or claw, forklift, etc.) nearby lets kerbals move heavy objects using KIS — it's implied that the konstruction part is helping, even though visually it's just sitting there. (It works the same as having multiple kerbals near the part being grabbed; effectively you have a very strong kerbal who happens to look like a yellow crane.)
If I need to carry something a long distance, I use KIS to attach it onto my crane rover instead of trying to dangle it from a magnet.
I did not know that....
Do they have to be "IN" the crane/etc. like operating it? Or does the kerbal just have to stand there and the crane/etc just has to be parked nearby as well?
In either scenario, that's friggin cool. I just want to know which way causes that functionality....

Since everything is docked, that would just be a single file?
I'll have a look once I'm back on the home computer later today.
That video is pretty crazy. So it looks like the ore is going into two empty tanks simultaneously, but one of the already full ones blows up. Is that what occured?
Does it happen if you only fill one of the empty tanks at a time, and is there a way to close off the full tanks so the fuel isn't trying to go into all the full tanks too?
I've never used the stock tank filling tool. I have no idea how it works.
It's pretty crazy that a vibration seems to develop from filling a tank with fuel though...
It looks like there must be some sort of strut or clipping problem though for such a crazy vibration to happen like that.
This game does sooooo much weird crap all the time. It's astounding really....

Clouds require the EVE mod not Kopernicus. All these mods do work together, but you may need a very powerful computer to use more than 1 or two at the same time.
@Ger_space, I’m curious about the water, but I’m in no rush. I still need to get some time to make more map decals of real terrain.
Yeah and Astronomer's visual pack requires EVE for clouds AND Kopernicus. That's what I mean by visual mods. Pretty sure SVE does too, or the SciFi one, or GEA.....or any of them....
And I have a gaming rig and it's powerful

that's not a launcher, it's the game itself plus we need the launcher for certain things.
Yes, we understand it is the "game launcher" for the game. That is what they mean by the launcher and not to use it. They are telling you not to use that to start the game because it doesn't start the game properly.
They are telling you to go into the Kerbal Space Program game folder and use either KSP.exe for 32bit OSes or the KSP_x64.exe for 64bit OSes to start your game.
See if that fixes your issue.
Until you try that and see if that is the problem, why try anything else?

Most of the time it will work, until it doesn't.
I usually don't test it, because it increases the loading time considerable and the user base is very small.
I know that GPP and rss work with kk, so most features are working, only one thing is currently incompatible, but that is noone using right now.
Nah, I just mean clouds and stuff. I thought about some of the planet packs or real solar system, but that seems to cause too many problems for too many mods, so I don't bother changing things that much....
I just meant it works in general as long you are installing kopernicus because EVE or some other thing with clouds requires it.....

I am not following. You don't want help?
I do. I don't think I have any current logs. I was trying to get help with old issues before I start my game up again.
I deleted everything for the third time in a month in an effort to fix everything. I just got everything reinstalled again, but I haven't actually launched the game yet.
I've developed Kerbal Space Program launch anxiety. I think I might coin that as a new psychological disorder I seem to have acquired about a week ago. I'm afraid to start my game up again. I'm afraid I might have missed a mod that had parts one of my vessels needed. Or Moho will have a big brown dust cloud around it. Or EVE will look pink and washed out. Or my game will crash repeatedly. Or I'll have a memory leak....Or countless other possible issues I have encountered over the last month.
If I get logs I guess I'll zip them and put a link up if I ever start up the game again.
I was hoping the planets and galaxies not appearing on the list was an issue you had encountered previously and had a fix that you told someone other than me already.
Guess not.

Kopernikus replaces the stock water partmodule with its own version.
I currently access only the stock version, because it was easy to do.
If the water support is something that will see Some usage, i will reconsider fixing it for kopernikus, but for now, there are is only one asset using it. ( Which is my low quality water tank)
This mod works in general though with Kopernicus right? If not it means you basically can't use this with any texture enhancement mod....at least not the ones I am aware of. They all seem to have it as a dependancy....

Possibly you're using OrionKermin's version which hasn't been updated for KSP1.3, let alone KSP1.4.
Try the builds from here (just tested in a new game, and it launched perfectly fine in KSP1.4.3) :
Does CKAN have the "correct" version there when you download it via CKAN?

No there are 8 galaxies in the mod.
As to the reason you don't see anything... I can't answer that. because:
a) No info supplied about what configuration of mods you are running.
b) No info about what versions you are running.
c) NO LOGS. No logs = No Support.Ok thanks! I'll just go back to helping people in the technical support thread....

Stock and Mod solar panels - I am able to place them but once they are on I am not able to right click them to bring up the box to retract or see the light intensity etc. This happens inside both the VAB, Launchpad and in Motion.
For the gamedata folder - I went in after uninstalling the mods and deleted all folders and data except the squad folder. Then I started adding back mods one at a time and then tested the solar panels. I am able to get EVE, MechJeb2 and KSP planetary bases on and still use the solar panels but when I add anything else is when I am not able to right click them or charge my batteries. I would like to add a screenshot of the mods I used but I don't have anything I can save the screenshot to and then link, doesn't look like I can paste a snippet to this post. Below are just a few that when I added each and tested one at a time the solar panels were not clickable or working.
Module manager
Anything USI (Core, exploration pack)
Universal Storage
ScanSat
I tried about 7 or so before I just decided to play with the 3 I can use.
Testing process
1) add a mod with the 3 I mentioned above installed
2) test and failed
3) removed new mod
4) tested with just the 3 and it would work
5) Repeat step one with a different mod
This is the damnedest thing I have ever heard of.
is it doing it on a new save game or are you only using an old save?
You also deleted the whole game at one point and reinstalled the whole game too right (not just the mods)?
How are you launching the game? Launcher? Steam? CKAN? Shortcut? 32bit or 64bit? Linux?
This defies logic....
How much ram do you have?
Graphics card?
What OS are you using? is it 64bit or 32bit?
Are you using launch commands on a shortcut like -force-d3d11 or -force-opengl?

CKAN should automatically update its listings with the latest Kopernicus releases, however, the process it uses to do this operates around timely intervals so it does not occur immediately.
Thank you very much for your reply m8!
I guess I'll just keep on refreshing the ole refresh button till my life can continue....

so requesting that some feature be configurable is preferable than asking to remove it entirely because you don't like it.
I listed three whole mods to make your game more tedious and miserable....

My parrot told me that you have to wait on CKAN. It's just that CKAN is a machine, and machines have their work cycles and their rest cycles. CKAN is not one that's looking every second for work to do.
And thank you for going above and beyond by reading my question in another thread to someone else and answering it for them because apparently I'm a mirage....

The blue is pure cosmetic, I like putting the smallest detail, even on the version checker! And yes, all good with having both installed! They originally belong together but I will revamp Tundra Technologies in the near future so I started with putting the SpaceX related parts in TE and all the other in TT.
Thank you very much for the quick reply m8!
Now if I only could get the Kopernicus guy to answer my question about getting the latest Kopernicus on CKAN that I asked like an hour ago.....without angering him somehow
-
I currently have Tundra Exploration AND Technologies installed together. Is that bad? Should I only have on or the other?
Why are they in blue font in KSP-AVC?.....that is the bit that is causing my panic...they are the only "blue" things on my mods list on KSP-AVC.....

I will let you know in a few minutes. Installed the new release and loading up now...
Confirmed, works! Thanks for the quick fix
So did you manually update to 1.4.5-4 then?
Or is CKAN updating this one step at a time?

Personally I think it is more insane that you can throw up something in orbit in KSP and it lasts forever and a year without any maintenance. Or that you can point your telescope directly at the sun without any special filters and it doesn't cook off. But to each his own, which is why @icedown is making it configurable. I was just posting suggestions to ease your pain when using the current version of CactEye, if you so choose.
Well it's not really insane....so much as unrealistic, I guess. However this is a game and I want to have fun playing it. Servicing broken space parts isn't in my personal "fun" category. As someone new to the game getting things into orbit in the first place is hard enough. Having to periodically dock with stuff to fix it over time isn't something I am interested in doing for every single thing I launch into space. This is why I ALSO do not use life support mods.
I don't even have a base on the Mun yet, once I get one there it will be a huge achievement for me. I don't know that I could possibly land in the same place twice even with the Trajectories mod. I would probably need Mechjeb or TCA to land in the same place twice and I haven't even figured out how to make those two mods do that for me yet. So I certainly don't want to be REQUIRED to go back there to bring food and water and to fix broken stuff....
That's most likely why the Devs of the game didn't force these types of scenarios on the players, like making life support and fixing everything a mandatory part of the game. Fortunately for you there are mods available to make your personal experience playing as miserable and tedious as real life, if that is what you are really into. I'm not though. I just learned how to dock.

Well actually not, I just bought this PC and my previous version was the Enhanced on Xbox so I bought the game for PC at version 1.4.5
It really kind of stinks because if I want to play career its really important to be able to recharge the batteries in the early parts of the game.
Ok well you uninstalled a bunch of mods right? Did you go in your gamedata folder and visually verify the other mods are actually gone?
The only folder (s) that should be present in the Gamedata folder with no mods is "squad" and "squad expansion" (if you have the making history expansion). If you still have Eve Mechjeb and planetary bases those should be there too obviously, but NOTHING else. If there is other stuff in there manually throw it away yourself.
Except Modulemanager.dll (in case you have module manager installed), but delete the other module manager cfg files if they are in there. The modulemanager.dll will produce fresh ones.
Let me know if you found any extra stuff in the game data folder like I just mentioned, and let us know if getting rid of it fixed the problem....

And we have Kopernicus & Kittopia 1.4.5-4 (+ Kopernicus-Backport 1.3.1-13) which should fix even more issues with LandControl (some of them were introduced by the last release), which mainly caused this:
@Drew Kerman I am not sure, but it looks like your issue could have been caused by the same bug, so there is a chance that 1.4.5-4 fixes it.
Rofl, I had that problem a couple days ago and assumed I had a bad visual enhancement mod.....
Okies, so will CKAN take a while to get updated as well, because it is still showing the prior version (I think).....or do they have to be updated incrementally? i.e. Update to 1.4.5-3 THEN CKAN will update the mod to 1.4.5-4?

:: DOWNLOAD ::
Thank you @JadeOfMaar!

Like I said, you will be able to disable it but it it's in the spirit of the telescope it is inspired by so they will be in there and enabled by default.
The JWST could be realistic by raising the price to unlock it the more tech you unlock
Oh you can disable the looking at the sun frying the computer thing? Ok cool....

My bodies/galaxy list appears empty. I am not using research bodies mod.....so I don't believe it is because I haven't discovered them yet.
I am able to focus view on planets and take pictures of them and get science. I just don't have anything on the target list.
When it says you can take pictures of "distant galaxies," do you mean the skybox?
Any suggestions? Sorry I don't have an output log for this....I just figured you could tell me if there was something I needed to enable in a file somewhere to make the targets show up in the target list properly......
Oh I am also using James Webb and have Tripple-Z telescope, in case that matters somehow.
Do I have to add the stuff in that galaxies folder to Texture Replacer or something to get those to appear, or are they there, but I don't see them because they are far away? Do texture mods mess this up.....LIke EVE or Astronomer's Visual Enhancements? Do I need Kopernicus to get them to appear? (I just started using a visual mod, so I also just started using Kopernicus, would NOT having Kopernicus installed make them not appear?)
-
I can't get the antennas to attach properly to save my life....lol
So the included RCS thruster positions are missing an axis?
-
Included on my first ever Kerbin station....mostly because the contract patch associated with the telescope also work. (I got a contract to put it up there).
I like it. I like that the science gains are for each Biome. I like the unfolding animation. Good mod!
Also meshes well with the big Origami relay dish from your recycled parts mod as well.....
[Minimum KSP version - 1.11] Kerbal Attachment System (KAS) v1.12
in KSP1 Mod Releases
Posted · Edited by JoE Smash
Gotcha, thanks....
I watched the video review, so I knew you could actually use the vehicles to do stuff, but it looked like a hassle to control the servos and everything.
It would be cool if the mod had like a gamepad configuration that worked with an xbox controller....or the flybywire controller mod.....
It's pretty awesome that they increase kerbal max lift weight by just being close by....
