Interstellar mod help

[Immortal]

I need some help with understanding how warp drives can be made to work. I read a few tutorials, and found that you need megajoules to make exotic matter. But my generators don't seem to work. Can anyone please make a diagram or a basic warp craft file? Thanks so much!

You basically need some sort of reactor from Interstellar, an electric generator of the appropriate size immediately next to it, and a bunch of radiators (the VAB tool will help you here). You can read the details on interstellar's wiki, but a 2.5m fusion reactor with the same size generator set to KTEC mode will produce plenty power to run a 2.5m warp drive, but just make sure you have enough energy storage to start the reactor (~1-2k seems to be enough for the 2.5m one, but you need a fair bit more for the 3.75m one). 2-4 of the medium/huge radiators should suffice for that. It may help to click "stop charging" on the warp drive though until you've built up enough energy that the fusion reactor stops complaining.

You'll also need an engine to get it into space - you can't use the warp drive in an atmosphere (I don't recommend warping into an atmosphere either. Bad things will happen.... worse things if you have deadly reentry installed )
