Mobile Base Modules

[Taki117]

I have been playing KSP for a while but have installed a few "Hard mode" mods including TAC life Support. I was thinking about making a Mun base (As a test bed for an eventual Laythe Mission) but beyond the obvious (Running out of food) I currently have no way to resupply such a base. Any ideas?

My recommendation is to send a few small resupply landers( with any needed supplies) to the mun all at the same time. Then, you could keep them in orbit, and land them as necessary. Instead of docking the landers i would recommend the mod Kerbal Attachment System (KAS), so you can connect the base to the ship while on EVA. You can also make a crane to move the new base modules closer. It's not a cheaty mod at all, it just adds more EVA activities, etc.

I haven't used KAS in a while since they changed it, but that's the one you need. It has a part that can be detached by a kerbal and placed on a vessel. Pipes can then be connected to it that allow you to transfer resources into that vessel.

Sounds interesting, I will certainly have to check it out, Thank you both.
