how level up fast

[awyepcoolguy]

so i have like 500 science but i cant really get better rockets cause it says i need higher level. so how to level up fast?

Mun and Minmus have a whole bunch of biomes and you can gather science from each of them. I clear most of the tech tree by landing uncrewed probes on them and transmitting science back.

I think it means you need to upgrade your R&D facility (right-click on it), or maybe you have between 500 and 549, which in this case is not enough to unlock nodes that come atter those that cost 300 (they cost 550).

you need money, which you make with contracts. the fastest way to make money is with "return science from X" contracts. survey contracts are a mixed bag, if you have a vessel already in place they can be fast and give lots of money, but they can also be a pain to get to the place

Build a rover, stick all the science experiments, two science containers and a seat on it and send Bob (or other scientist) out to drive around the KSC. The ground around each of the KSC facilities is a separate biome and even more importantly nearly every building is a separate biome too- each of the Tracking Station dishes, the various R&D buildings, fuel tanks, water towers, even the flagpole- and will give you science from each one. Run the experiments, store in one container, rerun, store in the other container, then move on to the next one. You can get thousands of science points this way (difficulty settings dependent).

Or if that sounds like too much work, install the Kerbal Environmental Institute (KEI) mod that does it all in a single click of a button.
