Fuel tanks wont connect

[Kerbalbond]

This is my first post so sorry if this is in the wrong place. Okay, so when i try to put a fuel tank under a cockpit or anything else it wont attach unless i flip it over, but when i do that i cant place my thrusters under there any more. Anyone know why this is and if they do can they help please?

I know there's a editor bug that if you select a new fuel tank you sometimes have to drag and drop it and then pick it up again. Sometimes one or both nodes are not activated but they'll reactivate by dropping the tank and then picking it up with the LMB again.

Tried doing that but sadly it did not help.this has only started happenig to me when i downloaed the room to manuver update, And it seems like some parts work fine and have no problems while others do.

Welcome to the forums.

I take it that you are only trying to attach a single fuel tank?

If so, it sounds like your download got slightly corrupted. Have you run a verification on your steam download?

 

[Kerbalbond]

No, i dont have the steam version of ksp, i got from the ksp store before i knew about steam. Is there a way i can verify the files without steam?

 

[bewing]

Not exactly, no. When you downloaded the version from the store, did you get a "patch" version, or did you get the full zipfile?

I looked at the install file it says, KSPinstallerx64-1.7.10. dont know if that helps

 

[Kerbalbond]

aha!

i figured out why the parts were not conecting. the 1.7.10 files were in the same folder as other versions. I am pretty sure thats why it was misbehaving.It seems to be working fine now but i will test it a bit more to make sure:)

 

Thank you for the help both of you sorry if i wasted your time.

Not a problem. Glad that you figured it out.
