How to attach stuff with kas/kis

[nascarlaser1]

Hi guys!

I have KIS/KAS installed for 1.21, and I have a question. When I go to attach stuff with my kerbal, it tells me to press H, but then I do not know what happens next. Can someone tell me how to attach stuff?

 

Thanks!

Best to ask these types of questions in the mod's thread, by the way.

But to answer your question: Assuming you are an Engineer with a tool, you can then click where you want the part to go and it'll get attached.  What type of tool depends a bit on the part and what you're trying to do: Surface attach and node attach need different tools, and some parts only allow one or the other.

There's also a manual in the KIS download with more info - it's available as a PDF outside of KSP, or as a book you can place in a Kerbal's inventory and read from there.

It highlights red if it can't attach, a blueish green if it can and yellow if you're out of range

Would he nice to know what can and can't attached to what, I keep having issues with the konstruction docking ports fixing to things

The most common mistake is having a tool in inventory but not having it equipped.
