Superfluous J

My big problem is so many parts I just can't grab. You all talk about external command seats but when I'm in construction mode I simply can't take one off a ship. I don't know if it's too heavy, if command parts are just not able to be moved, if it's a bug, or what. It's just. not. green. and. clicking. it. does. nothing. IMO if you're in orbit you should be able to do 90% or more of what's capable in the VAB.

On the navball is a red X to delete the maneuver node. It's also present in the lower left "orbit/maneuver" area. A keybind would be nice but that works just fine for me.

Folder into gamedata. Mostly because some mods don't have a gamedata folder in their zip.

Ah. I should have known. No problem

YAY. Does this mean we will be able to move command chairs around in the next update?

We get that your engines don't work. You have not yet said if you have tried throttling up. On an English keyboard, Z throttles fully and Left Shift throttles slowly. Also, have you tried hitting the space bar to stage? From the one image I can see (the first one) it looks like you haven't staged anything. Also, use Google Translate to make your posts English. I'm using it to make mine French. ---- Nous comprenons que vos moteurs ne fonctionnent pas. Vous n'avez pas encore dit si vous avez essayé de ralentir. Sur un clavier anglais, Z accélère complètement et Left Shift accélère lentement. Aussi, avez-vous essayé d'appuyer sur la barre d'espace pour mettre en scène? D'après la seule image que je peux voir (la première), il semble que vous n'avez rien mis en scène. Utilisez également Google Traduction pour rendre vos messages en anglais.

Don't start over! If you have a jet pack in the rescue ship, the rescuee can grab the pack out of the ship's inventory it from pretty far away (7 meters?) It's really easy to do especially if you're able to get stationary next to the Kerbal. Source: I EVA'd without a jet pack and found out after I'd let go of the ladder Also, it's possibly not a current version bug, but an upgrade bug. If you took the contract in 1.10 maybe they don't have jet packs in 1.11. Just a guess, but it happens to your own Kerbals so maybe it happens to rescues too.

That is not the developers of the game's page. That's a page for Lua Multiplayer. If you have a problem with their mod (on an Xbox? Can it load mods?) and they're not willing to devote their spare time to you then you're out of luck. That's the way mods work. If you're not having a problem with their mod, go to the official KSP bug site as @RealKerbal3x suggests and report the bug there. Or do as @FleshJeb suggests and just don't do anything and maybe it'll never get fixed.

Were I running the challenge (I'm not) I'd like proof that that's possible with the Laythe and Tylo landings. You can obviously get out and back on the worlds with low G, but on Tylo the lander is pretty tall and on Laythe it's in a fairing that seems necessary for takeoff (at least, you had it on during takeoff). You could always plant the flag and then take it down But really considering the requirements are "get out and walk around" demonstrating that should be sufficient IMO.

Bug 384 doesn't seem to exist. https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/384 Do you have a (working) link?

Huh, I looked through the Xbox, closed, and then all recent bugs and didn't see it. What's the bug number? Note I don't work for them I'm just curious what circumstances would cause them to close a bug in that manner. I've had pretty good experiences with the bug tracker, though I also have several bugs that have been open for years.

So you'd rather have the bug remain unfixed, than do the work for free? Not complaining, just asking an honest question. I personally would rather get the bug fixed than quibble over the - very little - work involved.

This is true. The closest is: The best way to verify that your Kerbals could get out and back in is to require a flag planting, and all Kerbals returned. I suggest the rule be changed. Were your Kerbals able to get out of the ship? I've not watched your video yet.

While in the stock game you can't get dozens (or even 5) contracts for - say - a base on Gilly. you *CAN* however get one each for: Station Orbiting Kerbin* Station Orbiting Sun* Station Orbiting Eve* Station Orbiting Gilly* Base on Gilly ...And build one craft that satisfies all requirements. The act of sending that craft to Gilly will just complete the other contracts. Similarly, you can take a bevy of "Satellite around [place]" contracts, and build one satellite that satisfies all contracts. You can also take "take a temperature reading X meters above/below a location" and as a bonus, whatever craft you put up there to do it can continue to knock out future contracts of the same type, no "new vessel" required. You can NOT do similar with tourist contracts, as each one generates new tourists. Trying to combine tourist contracts ends up being MORE expensive because you end up taking tourists who only wanted to go to LKO, all the way to your Mun landing. *IIRC you can only get 3 "station" contracts at a time so really you only get 3 of these, not all 4. But still it's a ridiculous return on investment. So much so that in my own games I've stopped doing it because just doing one such contract pretty much turns your game into a Science mode save.

A bit, but I've managed to keep that sort of thing to space stations. The HitchHiker just SCREAMS to be packed with junk. "But what if I NEED a third ladder!?

Oh jeez of course. It's not tilde. It's "backquote" because tilde is shift-backquote. Here's the my config setting for it, which I think is stock: CAMERA_RESET { primary = BackQuote secondary = None group = 0 modeMask = -1 modeMaskSec = -1 }

I personally just minimize it when it's not needed. I either want it big, or don't want it at all. Having it smaller doesn't save as much space as removing it entirely.

It's tilde. I use it all the time. You are correct about it not being in the settings.cfg which is weird because I distinctly remember when it changed from backspace to ~ and I *thought* I also distinctly remembered changing the config back to backspace because that's what I was used to. Since then, though, I've relearned tilde and not thought about it for years. Until now, when I find that not one single settings.cfg file I've got on me mentions "tilde" or "~" or returning focus in map mode to the current vessel. Weird.

AKA they don't want to play and need a reason other than "I'm not smart enough"

...and I didn't play it long enough to find this stuff out, at least partly because it didn't have something akin to Kerbals to give it heart.

I voted 3.5. I think they're quite important to the game and are a significant reason why I play KSP and not Simple Rockets 2, but the game itself is good enough I'm not quite willing to say I'd stop playing if they vanished, or wouldn't have started if they weren't there to begin with. I will say I've often removed their portraits to gain that screen real estate back. It's the easiest part of the screen to cover with something else.

I like all the things in your post, but fusing KIS and Stock inventory I think I like the most KIS would, if all these things became true, become an extension of the stock Inventory to allow those who want more to get more.

Specifically how to do it though (assuming you have the DLC and checkbox enabled) is to hover your mouse over the tiny sliver just below the "launch" button in the VAB or SPH. It will drop down with the options.

I deployed 3 part (the command center, solar panel, and gob-ed) recently and they deployed just fine. Not sure what your problem was but it's not a general bug in the game.

Jool is 6,000km radius Sun is 261,600km radius. If Jool was bigger than the Sun you'd be able to make it out as a sphere from Kerbin. Planetary objects don't collide in the game. If you're talking asteroids making craters then sure, but that's not a realism decision. It's a capabilities of the engine decision.
