JacobJHC Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I was fortunate enough to be granted early access to Breaking Ground, and accordingly I put together a short video summarizing the DLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For such a long time I wasn't sure how to practically land all 3 boosters with the game's limitations, so I had the idea to just make them the same booster. It worked surprisingly well, and even came with the added bonus of being more leg efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klesh Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 These clouds in your video summary are or are not part of the dlc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerbalKore Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 @klesh that looks like SVE from the laythe and jool clouds. Also, if squad did add clouds, that likely woudnt add scattering as it would be too intensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerikBalm Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The video claims they are working on propellers, proper pnes and not multiple part rotors + aero surfaces... Is this for the basr game? And update to this dlc? Or a future dlc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Very nice showcase!I also want to ask, what do you mean by motors not used as propellers?They cant at all or its just not their main purpose?

THe rotors and servos are too weak to be used as propeller parts. This has led to some speculation that official propeller parts are coming. You can use the rotors and servos as propeller like contraptions, but if you go watch ShadowZone's review, he states that they are too weak to be used as propellars. He barely got a single engine off the ground, had to had two propellers to make it actually flyable. TL:DR: Yes and No. Too weak. But I think I have a solution, free pivot the rotor and add jet engines to spin the rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh ok, well yeah, it might be a solution but was hoping to reduce the kraken tech needed to build such things to zero . I ll go check ShadowZones review .

JacobJHC Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 @klesh @razark The clouds are EVE and Spectra which are not included in the DLC. 6 hours ago, Boyster said: Very nice showcase!I also want to ask, what do you mean by motors not used as propellers?They cant at all or its just not their main purpose?

And update to this dlc? Or a future dlc? Not sure, the mention of it I saw just said post release. I don't know if this means post DLC, or post early access for the DLC. I'd like to hope it's for the base game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klesh Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hi Jacob. My humble suggestion for next time you're given early access to promote a DLC Expansion is to use an install that has only that DLC Expansion in it to avoid confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegolius13 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Great video! The tip about yaw/pitch/roll settings was very helpful. And you've already come up with very clever uses for the parts. Is it weird that the little accordion-ramp was my favorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khadgarion Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 That retractable heat shield setup was really cool! Would really love to see a video on how you made it work. It would be a good way to detail how some of the new parts work, and how to set them up =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
