Youtube review by GrunfWorks

Parts are describes correctly here, which I think is very nice.

Though... LTS-1 side tanks were abused again... 

 They were specially designed to provide asparagus fueling capability to LTS-1 system and not as rover attachments.

Youtube review by Kottabos Gaming

It's 0.6.4 version thus some nasty bugs are seen. 

Blister decouplers are for boosters, not for engines.

Also don't follow Kottabos style of attaching LTS Mk1.

Side tanks must be strapped on Core tank side nodes. Strictly in couples. That's it.

Installation Directions ¹

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies)

Whilst I agree CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools. I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods. Please don't ask me about it but refer to the CKAN mod thread if you are having issues with CKAN or the metadata it maintains. Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.

update links and lasso the birds

[zer0Kerbal]

I am considering that once I release the adoption update to split this into several different releases like:

• agency, flags, common files (ChopShop Inc (CSI))
• electrics (ChopShop Electrics (CSI/E))
• rovers (ChopShop Land Vehicles (CSI/LV))
• solar (ChopShop Solar (CSI/S))
• mechanical (ChopShop Mechanical (CSI/M))
• etc

comments?

I just noticed something a bit odd...maybe it is meant to be that way, but, using the manned rugged rover mk2, when I pick up green sandstone, and board the rover...it changes it from simply green sandstone to green sandstone analysis, AND there is no option to 'take data' from the rover,  so I can't use this rover for a mission to return a sample of green sandstone to Kerbin!

Hi @zer0Kerbal.

Always loved the Solar panels in this mod. Just getting back into KSP, Love that you have picked this up.

it looks like you've done a release on CurseForge, version 0.11.2. Will this run on the latest KSP release ?

Anyone else have the Soil Sample experiment nearly throw a 100 ton base off of Minimus when it extended and hit the ground? I've been looking for a setting for the animation module to stop when hitting something, but haven't found one yet.

Unless you're planning on adding a lot more parts, I'd keep it as one.
