Whatever I try It seems I can't get from external hatch, to the ladder below... :-(

Lithobrake Exploration Technologies A parts pack that is focused on exploring other worlds, and returning safely to Kerbin. The emphasis is on surface exploration, particularly with large rockets and large landers. IMPORTANT NOTES: This is still considered a "work in progress" and "wide alpha", meaning that ship-breaking changes can still happen. I'll try to minimize this, of course. The highest likelihood of this happening is in removing or redesigning parts, in a way that makes your vehicle either not function as originally planned, or the vehicle can be "deleted" if the part is missing or unloadable. The pods don't currently have custom IVAs. This will come later. This pack includes: (as of 0.2) 3-Man Lander Can 4-Man Capsule Several sets of large landing legs (the "medium" set will handle Mainsails, and the "large" works with Mammoths). Large radial and stackable parachutes Long static ladders Very long deployable ladders Service bays / rover garages. Part of the NecroBones suite of mods, that work nicely together: Modular Rocket Systems (stock-alike parts pack, NASA-like alternatives, and filling the gaps) SpaceY Heavy Lifters Parts Pack (stock-balanced large rocket parts, 5m parts, large SRBs) Color Coded Canisters (replacement models/textures for stock fuel tanks: prettier, cleaner, and diameter color-coding for the tank end-caps) Fuel Tanks Plus (collection of large stock-like tanks with Color Coded Canister style) ColorFuel Lines (color-selctable fuel lines) Lithobrake Exploration Technologies (lander parts, large chutes/legs/ladders/etc) Images: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download From: SpaceDock -or- ksp.necrobones.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike CC BY-NC-SA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change History: 0.4 (2016-10-12) - KSP 1.2 Update. - Updated categories for many parts. - Added KSP 1.2 sound effects and additional variables for landing legs. - Added transmitter modules to command pods. 0.3.6 (2016-07-12) - Tweaks. - Added an optional experimental config for RealChute integration (for the radial chute only). - To enable, rename "GameData/LETech/Patches/LETech_RealChute.txt" to have "cfg" instead of "txt". - Removed references to "drogue" in the parachute tags. - Added parachute deployment sound effects, as per KSP 1.1.3. 0.3.5 (2016-04-22) - Transparency fix. - Fixed the "always transparent" problem for bays in the VAB. - Adjusted the "expanded" 2.5m bay to use transparency only on the doors. 0.3.4 (2016-04-17) - Tweaks. - Tweaked leg settings. - Moved leg wheel colliders to allow for more accurate aerodynamic occlusion. - Legs reduced in mass quite a bit. 0.3.3 (2016-04-01) - KSP 1.1 Hotfix - Landing leg suspension systems working again. Known issue: Feet float slightly. - Added search tags to parts. 0.3.2 (2016-03-29) - KSP 1.1 Hotfix - Landing legs updated to not be 100% deadly. Suspension still doesn't work, legs are rigid for now. - Moved MM configs to "Patches" folder. 0.3.1 (2016-01-11) - Tweaks. - X3 lander can mass increased. - Mass, fuel capacity, and cost increased for the "large" variant of the lander cargo bay. 0.3 (2015-11-11) - KSP 1.0.5 update. - Switched the 4-man capsule's "generic" IVA over to use the Mk3 shuttle's IVA instead, so that all 4 Kerbals are EVA/IVA selectable. - Moved "CHANGELOG" to the mod's directory. - Updated bays to use current cargo bay thermal stats and allow door deployment limit. - Parachutes now use new contract constraints. - Command pods use new maxTemp and skinMaxTemp values. - 4-man capsule uses new buoyancy settings. 0.2.1 (2015-08-05) - Alpha fixes. - Fixed a texture problem that resulted in the 1m and 2m fixed ladders not loading textures. - Fixed a scaling error with the "large" octagonal bay's doors, causing it to leave gaps when closed. - Radial parachute's storage case reduced in size by 15%. - Increased deployed-drag multiplier on all parachutes. - Added Connected Living Space support. - Added TweakScale support. 0.2 (2015-08-03) - Wide Alpha - Added 3 large parachutes: 1.25m & 2.5m stackable nose cones, and a large radial chute. - Added 4-man, 2.5m capsule-style command pod. - Added landing lights to the landing legs. - Fixed a collider issue with the Expanded 2.5m service bay that prevented use of the floor's attachment node. 0.1 (2015-07-08) - Initial Alpha - First release.

I have been building moon rockets in ksp its kind of a problem that it kind of looks bad cuz there are only on size 3 pod... we should have less straight but curved sided pods and and more size 3 lander cans because our current one is not matching any of my builds

Unconventional Landers. Landers that sometimes work and mostly don't. Show them off here. To start things, I will show my own unconventional lander. Impressively Useless. It is the core of a space station in LMO with extra fuel. I landed it first, then got it off into orbit to attempt to complete a contract. I didn't get it.

The Great Thread of Mun & Minmus Landers In this thread you can post pictures or videos of Mun and/or Minmus landers, bases, satellites or space stations. You are also allowed to post pictures of you doing a fly-by of the Mun and/or Minmus. Hope to see them!

Hey everyone! What kind of landers have you made for the low gravity worlds? Ion and RCS Craft encouraged, unorthodox designs get rep!

Have you ever thought about it? The Mun seems like a super lame planet. It's the closest to Kerbin, it's copied off the Moon. It looks boring. But when you put your imagination to it, you could turn the whole Mun into a completely new Kerbin! You could build a futuristic new base! You could make a racecourse for you and your friends to drive on! So scrap Duna, and Eeloo, and Dres, and stick with the basics. Stick with the Mun ( Or low Kerbin Orbit )

I really like using the categories in the tracking station to find rovers, landers, bases, debris and so on. What I miss in this list is a tag for historical sites. I don't want to terminate my first Mun lander, but I also don't want it in 'landers' or 'bases' (because it is no longer active). At the moment I rename all vessels that have served their purpose to 'history-vesselname', but a separate category would be nice. Thanks for this excellent game.

Hi, just completed my first real legit mun mission landed and did other things and wanted to show you my rocket! Here is the craft download: https://kerbalx.com/S0NofThunder176/Saturn-V

Well now that I am an expert at planes but I really suck at making landers can someone help me? (And some tips too) Thanks by the way.
