To the mun with decouplers

[Guest]

hello! his challenge is to reach the Mun with decouplers only. Now your thinking, 'WHAT! IMPOSSIBRU!' but, you going to need to .cfg edit. there is no restriction on mods at all. You do NOT need to land on the mun, only crash into it. ( bonus points for landing)

How to cfg edit decouplers

Go to your KSP directory and open the file \Parts\stackDecoupler\part.cfg

there is a line (nearly at the bottom): ejectionForce = 10

Increase this value, using 1000 a pod will lift off a few meters when the part is decoupled.

Using 10000 it will go up to about 400 meters.

(Thanks to SubOrbitalGuy)

RULES

1. No propulsion other than decouplers

2. All mods allowed

3. .CFG editing is required (unless you wanna try legit ;P)

4. You need to make it to the mun

5. you dont need to land, only crash

6. Pics or it didnt happen

Winners!

None

So... Up ejection force, wait for Mun to be above you, fire?

*EDIT* Maybe you want a separate challenge for landing with decouplers...

[Guest]

Maybe, but this first. Comon! give it a try or post people!

sorry its not possible

http://gyazo.com/1e4159fa0c08815583de29ffa4a4cd94 you move too fast it took me 1 second to get to 100,000m and back to the ground. It\'s not possible (dont worry i wont stop trying!!!)

[Guest]

Ahhh. You will need to edit the pod and decouplers to be almost indestructable, as to not explode.

You made it to the Mun?

[Cthulufaic]

The key to this is to guesstimate how far behind the Mun should be when you decouple, 3500 seems right, Atmos and gravity slow you down enough so that you can actually see your craft move, instead of teleporting across the galaxy.

Hi,

maybe some people don\'t try because they aren\'t sure what to edit:

3. .CFG editing is required (unless you wanna try legit ;P)

some help:

Go to your KSP directory and open the file \Parts\stackDecoupler\part.cfg

there is a line (nearly at the bottom): ejectionForce = 10

Increase this value, using 1000 a pod will lift off a few meters when the part is decoupled.

Using 10000 it will go up to about 400 meters.

I\'m trying to get multiple stages to work, right now I\'m always losing some parts of the upper stage that I wanted to use later when decoupling the lower part, have to edit some more cfg I guess.
