Then something isn't getting installed properly is the likely solution. Screenshot of your gamedate and umbraspaceindustries folders?

Unfortunately I can not upload a picture . but I have no Umbra folder with me in it , only RatPack . Can you please tell me the exact link ?

Your gamedata folder should looks something like below. And an umbraspaceindustries folder below that. BTW Imgur accounts are free for uploading pictures.

Hi, the bottom of the rover need a place to put a separator please.

[Garbonzo]

Can anyone tell me what the science crate does and how to use it? It sounds like a very useful object but I have no idea how to use it. Thanks for answering my stupid questions!

Same answer for a common issue. Just drop the GameData folder in the ZIP directly in your KSP folder (same place your existing GameData folder is).

Done.

If you're doing a multi-biome run where you would normally store experiment results in your command pod, but you don't have a command pod that supports storing science, you can store the results in a science crate.

I have a question and perhaps a request for when the mod is next updated:

The Pack Rat rear section has a front node for connecting to the front half of the Pack Rat, and a back node for connecting to the generator. Would it be possible to allow the front node of one Pack Rat rear section to be attached to the rear node of another Pack Rat rear section, to make a six-wheeled version of the Pack Rat?

[eonmoon]

that would be interesting, but would need another part I think, a middle piece and hub covering, perhaps one that has extra sas?

with the KIS KAS integration, I am unable to release the rover from the ground pylon. Is the packrat still able to be built and disassembled on the field?

Yes. There is a new method outlined in a video earlier in this thread.

[Avedis]

Speaking of assembling on the field, can it be built and deployed from a small apollo style lander?

[Avedis]

Do you know the name of the video and provide me with a link?

[goldenpsp]

Do you know the name of the video and provide me with a link?

Not really. The video was published privately, so only worked from the link in this thread. And honestly in the time it would take me to go back and find it, you could go back and find it yourself.

To summarize though, the basic gist is this. Put down pylon. Put octagonal strut on top. Put small cube strut on the side of octagonal strut. On the end of that put a small decoupler. Attach the front of the packrat to the decoupler. Build the rest, get in and decouple.

These parts are cool, but I've found them to be much more powerful than stock parts

Rover will be balance passing all of these eventually

Also specificity on what you feel is unbalanced and why is much better than a blanket statement.

Say Dude- how hard would it be to add some sort of caterpillar tracks part into the exploration mod? I hope that doesn't sound like a dumb or silly question because I really don't know; I've all the modding skill of a fish.

I'm sure he could, but why reinvent the wheel (get it?)

[Kershu5]

I never even saw that mod, thanks Golden!

Also your joke is bad, and you should feel bad! :zoidberg:

I went back to page 65 looking for a video said to show the shiny new method for assembling the packrat in the field, I must have missed it? Can someone point me in the right direction?

In theory you don't need this method anymore as Kospy fixed ground pylons to be removable even if attached to something else, so it would work like in the past. But I still find this method to be the most reliable for me.

Does anyone else get the issue where the micro fans instantly overheat and explode when switched to hover mode, and if so, is there a way to fix it?

Yes, unfortunately just takes patience.

[smjjames]

All of the ducted fans in this and FTT have heating problems.
