How to make launch clamps stronger?

[GiantTank]

So, I went into the cfg files and jacked up some stats. I have a 45 meter engine and fuel tank, which together weigh 300,000 tons. But, when I try to launch it, it suffers from Krakenitis, due to it being so big it does not spawn on the launchpad (Unbreakable buildings are on). And launchclamps are way to weak, even with KJR. So, how on kerbin would I make clamps stronger? Or do I have to abandon this project all together?

Is there a limit on how big rockets can get before physics breaks down? Because, 300 thousand tons is 3 times the size of a nimitz.

Holy Kerbol mother of Jool. A 45 meter engine??? The largest stock engine is 3.75 meter and KW Rocketry has a few 5 meter ones.

I really hope you've made some kind of typo. If you're serious failing launch clamps are the least of your problems.

Uh... I cfg file edited. I wanted to see how big I could go.

Maybe you could ...... scale the launch clamps?......

Well, I cannot find launch clamp cfg file

It's in Gamedata/Squad/Parts/Utility/launchClamp1.

It's in GameData\Squad\Parts\Utility\launchClamp1

For some reason this isn't in the "correct" folder...

Ah, thank you. Will test later, for now I have to do homework. Thought it would be in structural.

Thank you all! Now lets redirect Jool!

You can also attach launch clamps to launch clamps and strut launch clamps together for extra stability. I know I've tried that for larger builds.
