Is a tether mod not possible in KSP/unity

[Dafni]

Well, I never saw anything like it. A tether, rope, string, whatever, not even a chain. Are these kind of things impossible to simulate with KSP/unity?

Just curious.

Thank you for your time

I believe you are looking for:

Yeah, if you have KAS installed, you can use a Kerbal on EVA to grab the end of the winch and either use it as a tether for the Kerbal, or plug it into a port on another craft to tether the two craft together.

Oh guys, thanks so much, how could I have forgotten that one.   Thank you

I remember I once tried to mess with that winch, but had no idea how to use it and gave up after some frustrating experiments. Guess its time to look for a video, but what you described sounds sensible, @Grumman, I'll give it another shot.

here's a thought: how about tethering multiple kerbals to winches on EVA, to stop them from drifting around while moving +1ton parts around with KIS/KAS?? Has that been done before?
