Additional support for HUGE (1Mil Tn+ class) rockets?

[spec111]

Hello! It is possible to add features to support 1 milliones tonnes class rockets? Such as larger VAB and launching pad?

Now my 760000t rocket simply crashes at launch pad! =(

There are mods which can help you out. Hangar Extender makes the VAB bigger, and there are probably mods that either increase the size of the launch pad or just add bigger launch clamps (SpaceY does the latter, for example).

Squad is unlikely to implement features to help with megatonne-scale rockets into stock though; that sort of thing is really too much for the game engine to handle in most circumstances, and so, since many players experience serious lag with designs consisting of merely a few hundred parts, support for ridiculously oversized rockets is probably more than can be reasonably expected to be seen in stock.

Just out of curiosity, what are you using these things for?

Hmm... Launching huge (possibly interstellar) stations into directly into space. =)

If you really want megasuperhuge rockets, then I guess spaceY will give you the parts you need for stupidly large rockets indeed, as the 10 m parts are something like 30x heavier than 3.75...

Increasing the profits for the kerbals that supply fuel for rockets.

So this thread is a scam?

What are you talking about? He wants to build rockets, this is what he does, he builds big rockets, huge rockets. He has a friend, he has many friends, he has a friend that came to him one day and told him: Man, these guys from Duna, they are killing us with their rockets! This is what it is folks, it's a rope! There are many companies that are moving to Duna now! And they are building their rockets there. And poor working class kerbals are now out of a job.

So the man came up with the idea of a huge, big, beautiful, tremendous rocket in the southern area of the Kerbal peninsula. It's gonna be the greatest rocket you'll ever see. It's gonna be amazing, it's gonna be so amazing, it's gonna be hugely tremenduously amazing.

 

Believe me!

 

P.S. : #MKSCGA :P.

P.P.S: I forgot to mention that Duna is going to pay for this rocket.

Procedural Parts can help here too. Pretty much any size tank in a single part.

@spec111It is possible to make beast boosters from the stock parts. But TweakScale is still your best friend.

This vessel uses 2 boosters with 4 mammoth engines wrapped around a TweakScaled kickback booster. Stability on the pad greatly depends on how you glue your vessel with structural struts as well as autostruts. I had to tweak my boosters several times before they started holding their shape.

Of course, there is another, slightly cheaty, option. If you are just going to increase the size of your lifter to the point where it can lift whatever you put on top with literally no restrictions then you at some point will succeed. This is a certainty unless you run into the limits of physics (in KSP)

You could cut out the middle man and just put the payload on the pad and then place it in orbit with the cheat menu.
