What did you do to make it that small? No chance you actually play on a tiny screen like that. It looks like your screenshot is hosted on the KSP wiki for some reason, that might be related.

Most people on here upload screenshots to imgur. You can drag them out of your screenshots folder or wherever onto the upload button there, no account required. Then you paste a link to the picture in a comment and it will show big like everyone else's.

Try hosting it on Imgur, as Zacspace suggests.

I don't like it in fact, so I made another (work in progress, have to upload pictures but you know...).

Hi. I made a stripped down chair for you if you would like to try it. Just battery and ability to attach, slightly weirdly I was able to control the chair back to my kerbal when he fell out. Don't know why. Anyhow I will put the config in the second spoiler if you are interested. Pics of the electric wheelchair in the first.

Go into Squad/Parts/Command/externalCommandSeat

Create a new text document, rename it FunSeat.cfg .Open it.

Copy and paste the next bit in and save and your good to go, will show up in the usual place in game. If you use it I hope you have fun.

Update on the EAS-2:

This was not trivial to land in one piece.

[Admiral Fluffy]

I have this massive rover.

https://kerbalx.com/Admiral_Fluffy/Mammoth-Rover

It is very laggy, but that is a consequence of having nearly 400 parts.

0.76% of it is modded parts. (3 windows). The rest of it is mostly just panels.

It is white because it it can't find the texture file. I am assuming you moved what folder your new config was in but didn't copy the texture files into the new folder. Alternatively you need to define the texture pathway in your config and use the MODEL module rather than "mesh =" Little tip with "mesh =", no matter what name of .mu you put in it , it will always use the first one in alphabetical order that is in the folder with it.

You can do it this way too. the following is 1 of the 2 chairs that evolved out of the Fun Seat and can be found in my very first mod "Working Underwater Light" which basically was just reconfigurations of stock models to make them work for submarine applications, though in this case it was the precursor to the Spacewalk chair. Only worry about this part and notice the mesh parameter is commented out. The config uses "Part Stacking" and so the other  MODEL sections in it are other models that were incorporated inside it.

Hey, I'll give that a try!

[Akagi]

By the way @ColdJ, it will let me place it as a root part. Can you fix this and tell me how it's done? I'm currently working on a project where I'll have to do this, but I need to know how!

Did you miss type, did you mean won't?

This parameter determines whether it can be placed first,

    // attachment rules: stack, srfAttach, allowStack, allowSrfAttach, allowCollision

    attachRules = 1,1,1,1,0

The original chair looks  like this.

    attachRules = 0,1,0,1,0

You can't make a mod unless you understand what does what, I suggest you look through various stock configs that you know what they can do in game and familiarise yourself with how they work. Also read through the thread I gave you the link to and copy configs from there so you can see how the changes affected the way the models work in game. I taught myself using this method.

It takes time to learn but it is much easier than trying to program code. You can copy Modules from configs that do what you want into a new config.

Start with small changes and work your way up.

Is it intentional that it's able to be placed as the first part?

That wasn't a typo

Yes. I wanted it to be the first part, just like a Cockpit, so that you can build off it. The original needed something structural layed down first, which can stifle what you want to build.

OK! Cool!

This was the rover that I used for my Minmus elcano. It's mostly stock, except for the pod in front, a few cameras, the storage bay, and the KIS containers.  I've learned from my previous designs to make it as wide as possible. It's by far the most reliable rover I have ever designed. Honestly, I was surprised at its performance. During the entire elcano, it only crashed once, about 90 kilometers in, and that was only because I was careless and wasn't paying attention.

[Akagi]

The big one is the Laythe converter rover Hyatsutake, with a Speed100 LRR (Laythe Racing Rover) and Gilzor Kerman for scale.
