Just did some orbital construction. My Kerbal didn't cause the ship to move while on the ladder, and I was able to move parts from one ship to another with ease, and with no phantom forces.

FANTASTIC. Thanks, Squad!

(Now can we get an in-flight re-root tool so I can remove that docking port that became the root part when I undocked it from the station?)

Now we can gather 5 000 assistants at once and build Great Pyramids by hands?!

A Kerbal-powered engine to build galleys with Kerbals chained to the oars is just required now!

P.S.
And a whip for the Engineer to rule them all.

@Shalfarincrease spring strength until the sliding stops.

Its something to do with the springs not engaging because of the lighter gravity.

@Anth12Thank you, that did it.  I should have realized since I know I have to do it with the landing legs.

A friend bought me the expansions, I should have said "No Thanks."
I was going to come here and rant about how mod makers writing expansions was a bad idea. That they would, like all their mods, either not work properly or break the game.

Some of the bugs I took in my stride. The latest one is a step too far.
I built a ship carrying 3 com sats end to end and sent it to the Mun.  Put it in a Hi-Lo polar orbit and selected a small decoupler and told it to decouple the first sat.
But it was broken. If I warped after the decouple the front sat simply vanished. An error in the Console says something about a NaN orbit.

If I switched to the detached ship instead of using warp, it moves away from the carrier and then just seems to sit above the Mun with no orbital information. The Console is spammed with errors.

I hoped that this new patch would allow me to continue my mission, but no, It's broken.

I didn't even use anything from the expansions (MODS) to create the ship. You have simply broken the base game.

I am not using any mods apart from the two expansion packs.

The worst part is that, just like the mods you lot have written, it will never properly work as it should again. Something will always be gamebrakingly broken about it. I'm an idiot because I KNEW what the result of installing them would be and went ahead and did it anyway.

Some good came of it though. I only installed Linux because of this game. Linux is now my main and preferred OS because of this game.

Could this be the beginning of the return to the golden age of 1.3? We shall soon see!

For a few players KSP 1.3.1 is still the version of choice. (things like joystick support for Linux etc)

So maybe rather the end of the golden age of 1.3? One can but hope.

I'm not a Linux player but I seem to remember joystick support for it being fixed a couple versions back. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So no fix for the partially opened hatches of the 1x6 and 3x2 solarpanels? Or did I overlook them?!  This bug really bothered me visually.

Okay, i checked... the hatches are still halfway opened.

https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/26879 is not fixed, not even looked at. Why not? Fixing these kind of visual anoyances is more important, than introducing lighthousings in white. Sorry, but this visual bug really bothers me. Sorry to say so.

You are correct indeed. Somewhat fixed I would say. It was broken for a very long time though. Other inacceptable bugs got introduced too.

As for joysticks, multiple input devices still dont work properly on KSP, even on Windows. The mod AFBW is still a must for any serious joystick user IMO. KSP just labels the buttons in a numeric way, with no correlation to input device, leading to conflicts.

Obviously we all love the game, and a bugfix only release is what the community has been asking for since 1.0. Lets see if we are on the right way. Time will tell. It's nice that 1.11 got the hotifx now and is up for us to play around, history taught us to never mess with x.x.0 releases.

Hello Kerbonauts! 

Kerbal Space Program 1.11.1 is live! 

This patch includes a few improvements to the base game,  such as the ability to use multiple kerbals to assist engineers moving heavier parts in EVA Construction Mode. Additionally, the construction panel now shows the manipulation weight limit and the assistants count, which will be useful to embark in larger in-situ engineering projects, plus several other cool things - like a revamp to the MK1 and Mk2 spot lights. The patch is also packed with bugfixes, mostly related, but not exclusively,  to the 1.11 Some Reassembly Required update, among a handful of other neat surprises. 

Check out this patch's Changelog for further details: 



=================================== v1.11.1 ============================================================

* Enable smaller SEQ parts to be usable in construction mode so they can be moved and adjusted. They cannot be stored inside inventry modules.
* A screen message will now appear when a non-engineer kerbal attempts to repair a part with the repair kit. Also, a Screen Message will also show if the repair kit amount was insufficient.
* Cargo parts filter now includes researched but not purchased parts, even allowing purchasing them from the filtered view.
* Added Thrust Limiter field to Kerbal Jetpacks so finer control is possible.
* Kerbals can now assist an Engineer in construction to move heavier parts.

* Fixed an issue that locked up the game when kerbal tourists were passed out in command seats and the game was saved after landing.
* Fix satellite construction stock craft being created as debris, they will now be probes.
* Fix errors when using the rotate and move tool in EVA construction mode on wheels and landing legs.
* Fix EVA kerbals unable to use static ladders (Ladders on Launchpads and buildings, etc).

* Fix NRE that caused the game to lock up when a cargo container was the root part and it was re-rooted.
* Fix the deploy animation being played when taking a deployable part out of the inventory in the VAB/SPH.
* Fix the Communotron 88-88 appearing unbroken in satellite repair contracts.
* Fix Contract strings to clarify Base contract, Satellite Contract, Station Contract and Grand Tour contracts and specify that the new vessel must be built and launched complete (cannot be built in parts using EVA construction).
* Fix cargo parts being inconsistently rendered as 2D icons with no transparency when hovering the cursor over PAWs and Construction Panel.
* Fix selected cargo parts as icons getting stuck when hovering between cargo panel and a PAW inventory in the Editor Scene.
* Fix selected cargo parts during EVA Construction mode that were taken out from an inventory slot not being returned when closing the Construction mode while still holding them.

* Fix attachment node size on SEQ-24 container.
* Fix node attach issue on Aerospike.
* Fix weld aim hitting the node instead of the attachment point when welding.
* Fix being unable to assign the Undock Action on Docking Ports. We have reverted the 1.11.0 fix in favor for a different solution in the future.

+++ Modding
* Allow reload of Tech Tree via static methods in any scene via cfg file reference or Database config nodes. LoadTechTree is now static.
* Ability to have Cargo parts be Construction-able. Note that ModuleCargoPart needs to be before ModuleInventoryPart for this to work.
* Added reinitResourcesOnStoreInVessel in moduleCargoPart and applied to Jetpack and EVAFuelCylinder. This flag controls whether the resources in the part will be reinitialized to full when the part is stored inside a vessels inventory modules.
* For parts using ModuleLight, the light turning on/off is controlled by code now, instead of using an animation.
* Fix setting light color via part cfg was being ignored.

=================================== Making History v1.11.1 ================================
+++ Bugfixes
* Fix the servicemodules shielding antennae on launch when the shrouds are turned off.
* Fix KAL being unselectable in action pane in the mission builder.
* Fix the missing Robotics icon category in the action pane.
* Fix surface attachment issues with the LV-Tx87 Bobcat.

=================================== Breaking Ground 1.6.1 ===================================
+++ Improvements
* Added screen message when dropping Deployed Science parts in EVA Construction mode to clarify how to deploy.

+++ Localization
* Added translation and fix for message that appears when repair kit quantity is not enough.

+++ Bugfixes
* Fix issue impeding Kerbal to fall after picking up ROC sample.

Tonight at 6PM EST EJ_SA will be hosting @JPLRepo and @Maxsimal on his stream! Tune in to take a look at the 1.11.1 patch and have some fun :cool:

Remember that you can help us find bugs/issues by reporting them into our bugtracker and that you can also upvote reports to make them more visible.

Happy launchings! :)

When is this coming to consoles? Can’t wait!

No fixes for a lot of stuff. Important stuff, actually.

1.  Struts that were installed in eva construction disconnecting after scene reload? No fix. What is the point in orbital construction or construction in general when one of the first things people want to do is reinforce their ships and that doesn't work? Even the EVA Struts mod for KIS doesn't work for some reason. So you basically have nothing.
2.  Mk 1-3 capsule breaking the game when you leave the render range and come back? No fix. That would literally make a lot of missions impossible. 

3.  NAN spam in console and complete wreckage of the orbit after you decouple a craft with a cubic octagonal strut as a root part? Nope. Physicsless parts should receive physics when they are a root part. In 1.10 this works perfectly. In 1.11 - it doesn't. And people are confused because they don't understand why the game behaves differently on the same craft. 

4. Shift-clicking the container (which is basically all the parts with crew capacity now) to move the entire craft will make that craft disappear after you release it? NO! It's not like a majority of people does it on daily bases.

I could just go on and on, but my rant is long enough already and I only wanted to rant about more serious bugs.  1.11 still needs some work, but we will probably never see 1.11.2, the developers will just move to 1.12, which is going to release no earlier than summer. Until then you either have to play an older version or just pray to Jeb that you never see any of the above. Good lord.

One thing I have noticed since 1.11.1, which I don't believe happened in 1.11.0, is that now even my very basic probe cores have all the auto-pilot options enabled on the left side of the nav ball.

Now I already had that functionality with them because I have MechJeb installed; maybe this change is really just that the probe core is now smart enough to recognize that capability from Mechjeb and display it?

Try turning off vsync and/or updating your graphics card drivers.

Its not that, this is like a known problem for a while now....i am sad to see this is still happening :( 

Multiple confirmed bug reports for this problem...

https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/projects/ksp/search?utf8=✓&scope=subprojects&issues=1&q=flickering

Most use scatterer mod to fix it but i don't use it Edit Anth12 solution seems to work just fine.

This is good news, as it makes it possible to use other resources such as Nitrogen for EVA propellant.

Ideally there’d be a way to disable “free refills” and instead transfer resources into parts in cargo. Then we’d even have conservation of mass!

There is a way to do the no free refills and I need to add the details to that original bug report now weve released. In short what we did was add a flag to the parts that should reinit their resources (as opposed to refill) when they are stored. the KSPField is reinitResourcesOnStoreInVessel in ModuleCargoPart and can be added/changed using cfg editing ofr MM Patching. Transferring into cargo parts is a nice idea - do you know if its in th etracker for feedback already? Id certainly upvote it

I actually had a thought the other day that it would be pretty neat if you could move heavier parts in EVA construction with the more kerbals you had in the vicinity, but somehow you guys read my mind! Is there a limit to how many kerbals can help? To see the equivalent of a large mass of kerbals carrying the recently detached wing of a large plane for reattachment would be pretty neat.

The limit is a range that can be found in the settings.cfg its called EVA_CONSTRUCTION_COMBINE_ENABLED and is in meters from the engineer

Correction -- actually it looks like all those hold options are only present when warping. Go figure...

Indeed. In a new stock sandbox (no mods), the option "All SAS modes on all probes" appears to be ignored. It doesn't happen in a career save (the option is only available in sandbox):

I haven't checked the bugtracker, yet. It didn't happen in 1.11.0. Not an important bug for me, tbh, just new.

This is great! Looking forward to the documentation. 

I've added the "transfer into cargo" feature request on the bugtracker here (#27183).

@Anth12

OK it's work thanks!  (merci !)

I re-post your solution to this problem: 

SHADOWS_FLIGHT_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_KSC_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_TRACKING_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_EDITORS_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_MAIN_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_DEFAULT_PROJECTION = 1
