Space Station Questions

[starkllr]

I'm making slow progress, but I've got some more questions.

I've got a small space station in orbit (Hitchhiker cannister, 4 solar panels, RCS, fuel tank and poodle engine, 4 clamp-o-trons).

If I want to add a module, I just dock it to one of the open clamp-o-trons, is that right? Is there a more permanant way of attaching to the station, or is docking the only way?

How do I transfer fuel from the station to a spacecraft I want to refuel? Is there a command for it, and do I need to arrange the parts in any particular way to make it possible?

Thanks!

To add a module, you need to dock one docking port to another on the station. Make sure they are the correct size. For example, a Jr. docking port will only dock with another Jr. port, but a Sr. or normal one cannot dock with a Jr. port.

To transfer fuel, first, you have to dock the spacecraft to the station and press right click on one tank and hit alt+right click on the other. Then, click "In" on the tank you want to be fueled.

Docking is the only way, the new larger ports are more stable though.

For fuel transfer, right click a tank, then alt (or other modifier) right click the second tank. Then you can transfer between the tanks with in/out buttons (additional stop button for obvious reason).
