[0.21.1] KAS v0.4.3 - Struts, pipes, part storage, containers, merged winches & more

I'm also having problems attaching the detachable radial ports. I took a resupply craft up to my Munar comm station relay to exchange personnel and retrofit the station with ports, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the port to attach. I didn't even get any ghost image at all, not red, yellow nor green. I tried all different distances and relative velocities, but no matter what, pressing H with a port on a Kerbals back would display the "Rotate with b/n" message with no ghost. No matter how much I clicked it wouldn't attach. I tried this with different ports, different Kerbals, and after dropping and picking up the ports.

So I was thinking "What's better than KAS?" and I had the answer pop into my head! PUTTING ROCKETS ON A KAS MAGNET!

Have a look at my album.

Sample picture of a KAS magnet grapnel in flight.

The potential uses are limitless!

Very nice and good imagination

I took "Kerbal Attachment System" a bit too literally.

Wasn't really trying for this it just sorta happened on accident and I lol'd all over myself.

Love this mod although I just wish I could get the radial port's to attach.

There's a story there just waiting to be written.

I've tried this mod for the first time. It certainly seems useful but it's pretty buggy/temperamental. I landed some bits on the Mun and when connected together it drags ships all over the place, soon as I undock one again it flies off and explodes.

I'll try again without the removable connectors, I tried those first as they sounded most handy.

Edit: sent new ships, landed and tried the normal connectors. As soon as I go to dock mode it all gets pulled into a huge heap :( I only installed KAS and put it on my vehicles for this job, it sounded ideal to have things landed on the Mun connected via cables so it's pretty annoying that it doesn't work. I've tried extending, releasing, pressed just about everything and no difference. I tried undock mode, get the GUI up then switch - still everything dragged into a heap.

Edit 2: It only does it when I connect to a rover (big mining ones) so something different between things with engines and things without?

Did you figure out what is causing this? I've got one item in my Mun base that I just cannot hook up because it causes all sorts of items to get dragged over the place.

Is there any way to retract or expand winches simultanously?

There is a set of NumberPad hotkeys associated with winch control. Using these will control any and all winches on active ship. You can toggle these key controls per winch vis the right click GUI

Actually, they will control every winch on all ships in the vicinity.

HAHAHA yes...yes they will. Good looking out, I should have mentioned that. Found that out the hard way during my off-shore testing...kinda boring watching 4 winches spool in 1248meters of cable on winches the next ship over lol.

Am I the only one having trouble making KAS attach ships outside the launchpad in 0.21? I uninstalled Attachment Pack 06, but still have the same issue. Sometimes I also have no indicator at all (no green/yellow/red part), only the message stating to press b/n to rotate.

Basic rule of thumb to help you with mods and KSP updating: If it doesn't have a plugin (anything ending with .dll) then it most likely will be fine.

But this does.

I found things jumped around if you leave SAS on. Perhaps it's that?

Can anyone tell me how is this possibly better for fuel transfering than quantum fuel transfer? I mean if you have two ships few metres away each other lets say on surface, how can you possibly do any kind of transfer?
