Damn Goo...

[Umlüx]

soo... if you are only taking one goo canister with you (e.g. sending a probe to a planet) .. how are you balancing out your craft?

is there anything useful to stick to the other side? sensors and batteries are too light..

I just add a reaction wheel system. One wheels system is more than enough to deal with slight imbalances such as only having one goo.

Before I get that though... I take 2... but if you have batteries then you should already have reaction wheels so...

Radial chute. You can also just put a reaction wheel under the science module with goo tank on the side, have power for it, and not worry about it.

I just use a reaction wheel system, but attaching the second Goo container is good decision too, because in this case you can save two different state of Goo and gain more science (if spacecraft will return).

i was able to balance it out early on in the campaign with a girder piece and a stayputnik, looked kinda funky, but it served it's purpose, also handy for when you want to leavy a kerb on a different planed and come back for him later (I will go back for Jeb, just later)

I use three and set them sideways along the base. Has the added bonus of keeping your capsule upright on splashdown and it kinda looks like those funky airbags the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo craft used.

Bring like 6 or 8 of them to create extra balance.

When I sent up my Gooyager 1 probe off into deep space, I placed the goo precisely on top of a Stayputnik.

It's tricky to put things exactly on top of a Stayputnik, but if you turn symmetry to 4 and looks straight down, when you move them towards the centre the 4 goos will eventually overlap exactly, you then turn symmetry back down to 1, place the goo and it will be exactly on top. It looks pretty cool like that too.
