I figured out the problem. If there is no power, then there is no experiment.

I'm having a weird problem, possibly due to mod incompatibilities. (I also am using [x] Science!, but not for collection. The problem is that when I run the experiments, there is no way to collect the data to the command pod, nor to review the data either.

I'm having a weird experience. The original four Kerbals suits always revert to the default after a flight. I can get them to wear the vintage suits if I change them in the Astronaut Complex, and the first one who flies will be wearing that suit, but if I remove focus from his/her flight (by going to the tracking station, for example), when I return the suit has gone back to the default.

I'm having difficulties with some of the pre-built craft. In particular, the Saturn I (not the Ib) says that there is a missing "Bluedog.Centaur.RL10". Probably because there isn't such a part in the parts folder. Instead, there is the "Bluedog_CentaurD_RL10". Is this the part I should replace in the craft file? Thanks.

Is there a way to temporarily turn off the mod? I find it wonderful everywhere but Kerbin, where I rarely spend any time other than in orbit. Given the problems with EVE's City Lights rendering, I would like to be able to turn it off while flying above Kerbin, and then turn it back on when approaching the Mun etc.

Is there a simple way to replace all the parts in a craft, or an assembly?

I've been having the same issue as well.

What sort of support does KCT have for the additional bases in Vanilla (both the ones you can start with, and also the discoverable ones.)? I've tried to figure out how to build a ship in the VAB and then launch from the desert, but can't seem to figure it out.

Great!

Is it compatible with existing saves?

I'm having a weird problem. I'm using the outer-planets mod, and one of them (Sarnus) starts out as discovered, even though I've set the difficulty on the mod to high. I edit the save file to make it undiscovered, before even entering the tracking station, and find that as soon as I enter the tracking station it shows up, and furthermore updates the persistent save file to show it as discovered. In the distant past, i had that oddity with Sarnus starting out discovered, but was able to fix it via a save file edit.

I recently tried my first Mun landing after installing, and around about 3km above the surface I had so much dust that I couldn't see the surface. Once I landed (sort of, more of a crash, but not too many parts fell off and exploded) it looked quite cloudy still. Was this a scatterer problem?

Tsiolkovsky had something very similar in the '20s.

I use quicksave and restore all the time when "biome farming" around Kerbal, Mun, or Minmus. When I'm performing EVAs, or Gravoli experiments. I could run without time acceleration, and take measurements each time I get to a new biome, but it gets very boring. Instead, what I do is quicksave every 10 degrees or so of orbit, and use x10 or even x50 time acceleration. If I see a new biome, and I don't have time to stop acceleration before I fly past (happens all the time on Mun with the Midland/Highland craters), I just F9 and replay those few degrees of orbiting without acceleration.

Actually Matrix games is working on a remake of BARIS. They will be demoing it this weekend at Historicon, with guest Buzz Aldrin. It will be in beta fairly soon.

What I've done, for Minimus at least, is mount two sets of landing legs on my lander -- one at the usual place, and then one just below the capsule. I extend the lower set for landing. If I tip over, I retract that set, then extend the upper set. This gives me about a 20 degree angle, which is enough to take off safely with.

You have to reverse the coordinates. (The second in the pair goes in the first MechJeb box).
