Playing around with a more conventional rocket I managed to get a 2 stage lander design to work at a smidge over 32t on the pad. Only had 6 units of fuel left on touchdown at the Mun so that was a bit exciting as to whether I was going to make it down or would have to abort the landing by firing the ascent stage to avoid crashing.

ETA: Thought I would try jet engines on the launcher, and binning a few fuel tanks. Got the total weight down to a whisker under 22t, still with a 2-stage lander payload.
