Addendum: I tried to do mods. I really did. I installed Engineer, ScanSat, the scansat mission pack, and um... the stuff CKAN told me to download in conjunction with those two, some contracts mods and some toolbar mod. Fun fact: Now when I cluster rockets (edit: actually I think only SRBs are doing it) with symmetry, they refuse to light off all at once, but only one at a time. *frantically rapid-pushes the space bar on launch* And a number of contracts seem to not be triggering, like... none of the orbital flight tests seem to 'work' anymore, in that I will be orbiting and between the altitudes given and it won't light up with a check mark to tell me it's a good time to trigger the test, and if I do the test anyway I don't get credit. I like Scansat, but uh... I may revert to vanilla.

I literally have like 100 mods installed and have never had that issue. Weird. Are you using 64bit? If so, that's almost assuredly the problem and I'd be really surprised if using 32bit didn't fix it - 64bit is unstable as hell even without mods.

I had to go into task manager to be sure, but no, it's plain old 32 bit. edit: Another weird thing? It keeps on giving me the contract to just orbit Kerbin. It's really odd. I mean, sure, that's free money and science especially when most of the flight tests outright fail, but uh.... I've done that contract 4 times now.

Oh wow ckan - finally a thing for this! Sad that biggest-pain-in-the-rear end-addon Astronomer Pack doesn't work with it. Looks like the install instructions got even more complex urgh - is there a ckan-friendly lighter weight visual improver?

Outsourced R&D is basically cheating. I just got a 1350 upfront science bonus for accepting a contract and I'm still in the part of the game where new tech nodes are 45 science to research. I'll get another 2000 or so science when I actually complete the contract.

Can ScanSat display karbonite deposits that get found? I've got a satellite with multispectral and karbonite sensors at 100km polar, and the big map only displays a bunch of "Anomaly"s; are these karbonite concentrations or something else?

So I've got Jeb stranded on the Mun with some weird glitch. His rocket is currently tipped over but fully functional... normally. At least it was when I quicksaved and quit the game a few days ago, I actually could get airborne by spinning really fast and bouncing off a radial battery. Now however, when I load the save the ship is just stuck there, not even kicking the engine on moves the ship, it just won't budge whatsoever.

(Edited for clarity) Last I used ScanSat, you had to select which data map to display. Click buttons. Make sure you actually ran the scanner (it may have different altitude requirements than the anomaly one). Edit addition: Mun stranded post above, are your gear deployed? Sometimes my landing leg would get stuck in the surface when deployed. Corky Romanovsky fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Jan 5, 2015 |

Well this is going to help me with my predilection for building stupid large physics engine raping constructions. (544 parts docked into one)  I browsed the last few pages of its thread. Its worth noting for anyone planning to use this that is has a few cravats. Like don't weld multiples of crew hatches, symmetry placed lights/solar panels/animated objects. Even with those constrictions the first thing I want to see is how much I can reduce the 150 something part count station pictured above by. I'm guessing under 50.

Anyone else seen this happen and know how to fix it? Did you run the DDS converter utility? If so, you need to Undds-ify the GameData/Squad/Contracts/Icons folder. If you want to DDS those icons anyway just look in the DDS converter's Mods Exceptions and do a custom DDS using the parameters from the Fine Print exceptions. e: more specifically you want to run the folder as Normalmaps: Force not normal, Do not generate Mipmaps, and do not resize. ellie the beep fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Jan 5, 2015 |

This makes sense then, I'll run your fix when I get home. Thanks for the tip buddy! Edit: also anyone else playing Career on Hard find the 30 piece limit on the Lvl 1 VAB quite difficult to navigate?

What's the idea behind the various landing legs in Roverdude's mods? I'm not sure if they're bugged or if I'm just using them wrong or misunderstanding their purpose. Not entirely sure which mods I got these from, but they're either labelled Umbra Space Industries or Karbonite, so I assume I got them from one of his mods. "Radial Lander Leg", no manufacturer but has "Karbonite" written on the model: Massless and with crash tolerance listed as 9 m/s. They're quite huge for a massless part though, and practically indestructible. They (and most of the craft attached) survived a crash landing hard enough that the landing pad blew up. I'm guessing it's supposed to be quite heavy, but even so it is perhaps too good. It looks really cool though, so I want to use it even though it feels like cheating. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there's the LS-40 and LSX landing frames, which feel a bit useless. They look really cool, and the frames themselves are hard to destroy, but the few times I've used them I had bit of trouble with everything attached to the frame simply being sheared off if the landing wasn't perfect. They're also extremely heavy compared to other landing gear (1 ton for the regular version, 1,5 tons for the version with a 5k battery built in).

Anyone managed this?  It was only on normal, but this is what I just used. 5 big SRBs tuned down a bit and a Poodle to get to orbit, 3 lv-909s for a transfer and landing stage, then a return stage of another 909. It's pretty no-frills with one solar panel and no batteries, lights, or RCS, but it's got a materials bay and a pair of goo canisters and doesn't leave any orbiting debris. You could probably cut it down even further by ditching the landing legs. Note: I had to squirt in a little bit of fuel from the return tank to get a soft landing, so make sure you have resource transfer unlocked or maybe just pilot it a little more efficiently. This was all stock parts without FAR or its like.

Motherfucker docking is annoying. Is there any mod to add autodocking that doesn't require sticking a part on? I already have pieces of a space station in orbit and have been trying to dock two of them for an hour and I'm done with this, it's not fun.

It's not autodocking, but the Lazor Docking Cam is a fantastic tool that makes docking WAY easier. It gives you a clamp-o-tron's-eye view, with additional overlay elements to show your relative velocity, position and orientation. The camera is a feature of the docking ports and doesn't require any additional parts, so you should be able to use it on poo poo that's already in orbit.
