I thought if there was no connection, those experiments would stop. had no idea you could pick them up and collect their science. just like i beat the previous record by finding a trick to collect surface science from water, you beat me by finding a way to recover deployed experiments. congratulations on pushing the boundaries of what was assumed to be possible. I've just found this post from 2020. I was definitely not the first one, who did this. Like in my case, that discovery happened by "accident" too, like some real life discoveries.

They may even be able to transmit it after putting it in a commnet-connected craft, but I didn't test that unfortunately. I hope this helps someone out there, since I was unable to find any documentation of these mechanics anywhere online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32r Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 (edited) Level 3 mission completed. I used an giant ISRU SSTO with only a specialized lander for Tylo. All 5 kerbals on the craft landed on Laythe, Vall, Pol and Bop. Jebediah did the planting of flags of those but it could be any of the other 3 base kerbals as they were in the same cockpit. Tylo only a hired kerbal Marvin landed and planted. Full youtube playlist of nearly the whole mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRwgjryDrro&list=PLnWZIgmJNhlXihkkThDAbd9G2oV57U-Uc - Which game versions did you use? I used the latest one which i believe is 1.12.5. - What mods did you use, if any? I had quite a few loaded. I used only stock parts. The only ones that impacted my game in any way are: BetterTimeWarpContinued, Kerbal Engineer Redux, Click Through Blocker, Kerbal Alarm Clock, Toolbar Controller, Waypoint manager. All of which only provide visual benefits apart from BetterTimeWarp. Note: I also opened the alt+f12 menu a few times but as you can see in the recordings I only used it to check in the console if any parts broke while landing. Never used any function that would alter the gameplay in any way. Edited October 15 by 32r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geryz Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 (edited) (repost from old thread) Hey @king of nowhere, I know I'm a little late to the party but I'd like to post my submission for the challenge at Level 3! For my mission, the Hephaestus V, little regard was given to achieve minimum funds or mass requirements. Instead, I intentionally made it as flashy and ludicrous as possible. Not to mention, I added the additional challenge of Kerbalism (SIMPLEX) Life support (although with radiation turned off). In the end, I ended up with a mothership that used a ridiculous 45 Nerv Engines, had to be assembled in 8 launches, most of which were done with a completely ginormous 220t to LKO launch vehicle called the Achilles 2b. The entire mission and its mod list is documented in a video: https://youtu.be/OWz_SJNtiuY. Thanks in advance for reviewing my submission!
