[Rational Resources 2.0.7 [May 21, 2024]]

For anybody reading this trying to figure out they see no resources on the Mun or Minmus (and presumably other bodies), the missing minAbundance mentioned above is the root cause and the fix is to add that number

[Kerbal Space Program DLC: “Breaking Gound” Grand Discussion Thread]

Unless you believe that developers shouldn't be paid for their labour, then that argument doesn't follow. The choices here are "Further KSP development is unprofitable and will be shut down" or "People pay for more content for KSP".

This isn't bug fixes, or simple QoL additions like a radar altimeter on the UI. This is additional features, which require substantial developer-time to create. Developers need to be paid for their time, or they'll leave your company and go work for somebody who pays better. Paying those developers requires that the work they produce is profitable to the company, which requires that people pay for it.

[Kerbal Space Program DLC: “Breaking Gound” Grand Discussion Thread]

If you don't think it's worth its price, surely the solution is to just not buy it? You haven't lost anything here.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Continued Development Thread]

I've an issue with the nuclear ramjet. If I have any fuel tanks on board whatsoever, even if they're emptied before the flight, then the ramjets will go to liquid fuel mode and can't be changed back to atmospheric. Everything works fine if I just don't have any fuel tanks on board though. Is there something I'm missing?

[Small-Scale Coilgun]

The challenge is not in powering the thing, it's in programming a microcontroller to switch the coils (of which you should have several, separate) as the projectile passes through the barrel. You want each coil to be on when the projectile is before it and off after the projectile reaches it.

[When space begin ? 80 km or 100 km]

Because it's not a vacuum. The air gets thinner and thinner, and for most purposes it may as well be vacuum, but there's still a lot of molecules up there, waiting for satellites to hit them and slow down.

[Model Rocketry Discussion Thread]

gonna try, but im still figuring out how to combust and pump the fuel.

Why would you use liquid fuel? Most smaller rocket motors run on black powder, and the larger ones tend to be Ammonium Perchlorate composites.

[Why is /r/kerbalspaceprogram private ?]

The fact that you all are inconvenienced by this is literally the entire point of a strike. It forces the management (in this case, the Reddit administration) to act.

Not only that, but the strike was voted on and supported by the majority of users of the subreddit.

The Reddit admins will have been forced to increase communication with the moderators of large subreddits (which was the goal of the strike) and that will improve everything for everybody. If you read the front page of Reddit, you'll see that the admins are already responding and are struggling to bring everything back together. This strike has had an effect.

In short, stop complaining. You've been slightly inconvenienced so that the mods of the subreddit can give you better service from this point on.

[Why is /r/kerbalspaceprogram private ?]

It's down because the majority of the people on the KSP subreddit voted to have it down as a protest over the firing of Victoria, a Reddit admin who handled AMAs.

[Crazy aerodynamix airborne docking challenge w/ 1.0x! :P]

Higher altitudes should give fewer points, since they give you far more time to make the dock.

[Earth Is Flat]

Tides...

Sounds like a fact.

[Earth Is Flat]

As for lasers and water IMO you have to look at Moon position too.

Why is that your opinion?

[A little trick to all of those who live in a hot country this summer :)]

I've heard argument by many about this as well: Drinking a hot liquid on a hot day causes your body to cool itself down, a reaction by the body in its attempt to lower the internal body temperature due to the hot liquid in the stomach. Conversely, drinking a cold liquid on a cold day causes your body to warm itself up, a reaction by the body in its attempt to raise the internal temperature due to the cold liquid in the stomach.

The first reaction you're talking about is just sweat. Go ahead and drink a large mug of hot tea as fast as you can without burning yourself. When you're done, you'll start feeling cool within a minute or two because you'll be sweating a lot.

[Radiators useful?]

Pretty much.

[PS4 Announcement Discussion]

I don't think anybody has a problem with more people getting to play KSP. The issue is that nobody can see how the PS4 can handle a game like KSP what with all of its controls and the fact that it stutters even on fairly high-end desktops with enough parts, and they're worried about whether or not the development of the PS4 version is going to hinder the development of the PC version.

[How to Encounter a UFO]

Just remember everybody, just because you can't identify something doesn't mean that it's aliens. If you actually see aliens, then you get to tell everybody that you've seen aliens. You don't get to tell everybody that you've seen aliens just because you saw a thing in the sky that you can't tell what it is.

[Why shouldn't humanity last for billions of years?]

Two orders of magnitude.

[Is MechJeb Real?]

Whether or not Mechjeb is fun for you is dependent on what type of game you think KSP is.

If you think it's a game about flying rockets to other planets, then you probably shouldn't use it very much because it'll get rid of a lot of the fun stuff.

If you think it's a game about engineering rockets to fly to other planets, then you'll probably find that Mechjeb gets rid of a lot of the boring stuff.

I personally prefer the engineering side of the game, so I'll use Mechjeb to avoid having to, for example, turn to a maneuver node and burn, because I think that's boring. Landing, docking and atmospheric flight is actually interesting, though, so I tend to do that on my own.

[Human Venom]

Being stabbed or shot several times will kill you just as dead as being poisoned, and it'll do it much faster too.

There's a reason armies use assault rifles instead of poisoned darts.

[Human Venom]

In what situation would poisonous fangs be more useful than a gun or a knife?

[Why des adding "K" to a word make it Kerbal?]

KIA is a real life acronym used for Killed In Action, with MIA being Missing In Action. The kerbal isn't inactive, he's dead.

[Thought experiment: The most environmentally-friendly way to bring cockroaches to extinction?]

There's no reason to believe that removing all humans would cause cockroaches to become extinct. They've survived for an incredibly long time as they are before we existed and to assume that they need us to survive as a species is as arrogant as it is misinformed.

[Scott Manley showcases everything I find wrong with FAR]

I've never had trouble landing aircraft on the runway. FAR supports spoilers and flaps, use them.

[AVG AV vs McAfee AV]

Microsift Security Essentials for passive stuff, the latest version of Malware Bytes for when you think you have malware and want to check.

[Do ANY females/girl gamers play KSP?]

I can't understand the train of thought that could lead somebody to believe that there isn't a single woman playing a game as well known as this. I mean, I get that there's fewer women who play video games than there are men, but it'd be like wondering if even a single person from, say, Ireland plays KSP. After all, Irish people make up far less of the gaming community than women do.
