There's quite a bit of space between the ring and (usually) the instrument unit underneath. Would a hidden node in the Block III+/IV part work for this?

How do you attach the Block III+ and IV orbital modules to the adapter without it "floating" like this? The module is attached to the base on the docking port.

Excellent, thanks for the guide. EDIT: It works! (though I flubbed the script to change the referenceBody's so all the moons are also orbiting the sun, haha)

Please do, so that others in my situation can do it as well

Can this generate a system and replace the Kerbol system? I want to use this as a randomly-generated system replacer.

Last update was April 2022, so everything after about v1.10.1 hasn't been looked at.

I'm pretty sure BDB2 hasn't even begun yet. (KSP2 doesn't even have its modding API set up and specc'ed, the BDB devs are probably waiting on that for BDB2 to even start)

The tapered Atlas tank should have a part switch variant for 1.25m.

Since last time... Lunar Flyby Lunar Impactor (twice) A few commsat contracts and a 350t monstrosity of a rocket that can barely get 0.4t to GEO transfer orbit. Features a QuadAble stage powered by 4 AJ10s, a 20m Thor-derived core, and 4x 10m Thor-derived LRBs. Only launch I did with the Monstrosity is a science-farming sat in high Earth orbit. Did you know you need to go all the way to geostationary orbit to get high in space over Earth science? That's a lotta dV that I don't have lol. I'm bottlenecked by science currently, and it's 1969 (very, very behind in tech). https://imgur.com/a/OyNkuO5

Hooray, it's fixed! Thanks Dakota!

@Dakota It has been several Mondays now When will this (admittedly minor issue that can be circumvented by using the light theme) be fixed?

Miscellaneous contracts time: First Nav Sat First Comm Sat Test Comm Sat 1 And had a contract expire on me, stealing all my money. https://gist.github.com/bigyihsuan/1e59e64e7cb36f8759cf0b188b9f90a7 https://imgur.com/a/QWF4jHJ

https://imgur.com/a/7wHrKK5 https://gist.github.com/bigyihsuan/1e59e64e7cb36f8759cf0b188b9f90a7 First launch of the Thor-ish 6-3 carrying a CommSat destroyed by range safety due to a failed LR89 seconds into flight. Meanwhile, another Thor-ish hauls an AtmoSat for a different contract. This AtmoSat gave me just enough science (0.2) to be able to unlock the Lunar Comms node, letting me upgrade my Tracking Station. Second launch of CommSat failed due to the Agena stage failing earlier than expected, with the apoapsis not high enough for the kick motor to get the sat into orbit. And the contract expired. wew. Thankfully an identical contract showed up. Hoping for CommSat-3 will succeed this time.

Solar-powered sat and Polar sat contracts done, with a single mission. As it turns out, this Thor-Ablestar-Ersatz isn't quite enough to get to orbit, so I slapped a separation motor on the payload to kick it into orbit. Next up is a comsat contract, and this thing doesn't have enough dV to do the plane change. So I've built a Thorad-Agena-like with 9 strap-on Castor 1s, but that needs to wait for the 130t launch pad upgrade. https://gist.github.com/bigyihsuan/1e59e64e7cb36f8759cf0b188b9f90a7 https://imgur.com/a/2Wzo2zg

I started the level 2 pad upgrade a bit late, as well as not having enough science/money to unlock the needed tech and parts, so I had to wait for the pad to finish and techs to be researched before I could actually launch an orbiter.

Today: Managed to go bankrupt from tooling too much. Had to cheat in ~200k funds just to get going again. Also got into orbit. It is 1960. I am waaayyy behind IRL by like 3 years. https://gist.github.com/bigyihsuan/1e59e64e7cb36f8759cf0b188b9f90a7 https://imgur.com/a/E2m8Wd4

I'm using the "KSP Dark Red" theme. Code blocks are still not readable because of dark text on a dark background:

Found it, it's Aligned/Formatted Currency Indicators: EDIT: However, it seems to be long dead. Maybe @linuxgurugamer could take a look at this? (The author @xEvilReeperx seems to still be around in the forums, and the link to the source code in the thread is dead.) EDIT 2: It seems the source code is not dead: https://bitbucket.org/xEvilReeperx/ksp_consistentcurrencywidgets/src/master/

See title. Which mod was it that let you change the GUI in the VAB/SPH so that the ship cost indicator and the current funds indicator matched the same style? In stock, the ship cost is a digital display, while the current funds are an old-style odometer-like ticker.

I've decided to dive straight into an RSS/RO/RP-1 run, for the first time. I have used some of the individual components before (RealFuels, Procedural Parts, Kerbal Construction Time), but not in a big package like this. I spent ~4 hours last night, and November 1954, I have completed the Downrange 3000km contract, and unlocked the level 2 60t launch pad. I shouldn't need to do a Corporal stacked on a V2 any more My thoughts on RO so far: Everything being procedural is very, very unfamiliar for me. It feels like I've spent double the time building a procedural rocket, versus quickly throwing BDB parts together. Everything feels fiddly, for some reason. KCT simulations are neat. How can I get it for my non-RP-1 installs? I am very slow (at least according to https://rp1careerlog.azurewebsites.net/), 11/1954 is pretty late. Apparently first orbit IRL is in 1957, so I am behind a bit. Kerbalism science is neat, auto-collect and auto transmit. I wish the BDB tanks and probe cores, at least, were available to make building rockets a little quicker. Lego building blocks and all that, versus the 3D-printing of Procedural Parts. I'll be uploading my career logs in a Gist: https://gist.github.com/bigyihsuan/1e59e64e7cb36f8759cf0b188b9f90a7 And to the RP1 Career Tracker: https://rp1careerlog.azurewebsites.net/?careerId=644846f1763150b279354eec https://imgur.com/a/Hb2UeHA

Some packs are built for JNSQ scale, some are built for stock scale, some are built for real scale (RSS, for example). It depends on the pack.

I like having a master parts list, but I prefer the right-click tweakable menus from KSP1 better. You click on a part, and a small menu pops up, versus the gigantic parts manager. The parts manager definitely needs some better way of filtering parts, it shows all the parts in the craft currently.

To be fair, the maneuver nodes in KSP1 doesn't do this, either. I've been having this as well, it's pretty annoying. Hopefully it gets fixed next patch.
