There’s a very well known bug in KSP 1.12 where the orbit lines jump one orbit ahead when time warping which will make encounters etc. disappear (since they don’t happen on the next orbit).

Also RIP Ziggy, killed by 20+g re-entry because you decided just tanking into the atmosphere was a good idea, and RIP the entire Jool mission when you realise how dreadful the Tylo encounter is and how much fuel you’ll need to capture there…

Use the gravity assist! Plane change to be flat compared to Tylo (even if it’s a retrograde orbit) and you save yourself a ton of fuel for the capture by letting Tylo’s gravity slow you down on the first pass and then the second pass is much easier. Brute-forcing it with the heavy lander still attached is A Bad Idea.

Tylo: has 0.8g gravity.

@seyMonsters: decides to hover 3km above the surface.

Also @seyMonsters: launches vertically to 200m/s, swerves around all over the place trying to match planes long before reaching orbit, and then wonders why he ran out of fuel.

RIP Jansey ;.;

Perhaps if you did your departure burn so you were leaving prograde relative to Vall’s orbit of Jool instead of going almost straight outwards, you’d need a lot less fuel. Which, coincidentally, would also have been a departure near the ascending node and so would have greatly reduced the effects of the inclination.
