intidragon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hey guys. . . can anyone help me regarding this matter? I'm gonna try out an experiment for myself, but I don't want to download new engines for the time being to save time and make KSP load quicker, but I can't seem to do it right. Any help appreciated. . . thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pursuedtank Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 You'll want to go into your KSP folder, gamedata, squad, parts, engine. Then Find the engine that you want to edit and open that folder, then open up the part file using a text editor like notepad on windows. Search the file and under Module somewhere it should say maxthrust = and then a number. Change that number to what you want and the thrust will be that powerful. Baring in mind the mainsail is 1500 thrust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intidragon Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks sir. I do know that it is already powerful . . . I'm thinking of a little more "kick" than that with a single engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxczxczbfg Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 On the other hand, you could lower the fuel consumption (tried to do it for my Poodle landing engines, but couldn't find the value). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave4002000 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 On the other hand, you could lower the fuel consumption (tried to do it for my Poodle landing engines, but couldn't find the value).You want the part.cfg in the Engine/liquidEngine2-2 folder.Towards the middle you will see atmosphereCurve { key = 0 390 key = 1 270 }The 390 and 270 are your vacuum and atmosphere ISP's, respectively. Increase those to lower the fuel consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripzter Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Now if you just want to increase fuel longevity why not just do the fuel cheat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxczxczbfg Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Now if you just want to increase fuel longevity why not just do the fuel cheat?Because I forget to turn it off, and end up taking my rocket to the Mun and trying to land with all the stages attached.

Snark Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It's also six years ago. Anyone trying to solve problems back then has presumably long since solved them, so any further discussion in this thread is likely just to generate more confusion than anything else. Therefore, locking the thread to prevent further confusion. Anyone who still has questions around this topic is welcome to spin up a new thread about it.
