recovering fallen parts

[madhog6]

So I put some radial parachutes on my solid feul boosters. they landed safely right next to me. I recovered my ship and didn't see the boosters on the recovered parts list. So a few missions later, I notice the boosters are still sitting on the ground where they were.... any way to get them things back? was about to start putting landing struts on the things too lol.

You can use this mod, StageRecovery

You just have to add enough parachutes, than according to the landing speed of the debris and the distance from KSC you can recover a percentage of the funds, even if they are out of the physics range. You can even check in the VAB while building your spacecraft. It's very useful.

You can recover landed parts and debris in the tracking station. Usually you have to click on the debris icon to hav it show up in the list.

This method has always worked for me.

You don't get the recovery dialogue unless it is a science object or has a command pod attached, but you get the funds either way.

In 0.25 there are icons on the space centre screen itself showing where vehicles and debris are around KSC. You can click these to recover (or fly) different things without going via the tracking station.
