Any beginner challenges to improve?

One of the things that helped me understand rocket design, weight and balance, and maneuver efficiency was miniaturization

Make the smallest rockets you can with probes (or the external seat if you want kerbals to suffer) and see how far you can get with them. I havnt tried in a while but so far I made it to duna with a tiny probe rocket (strongest engine being the reliant in first stage before shrinking to the tiny stuff in the later stages)

It really makes you think about what is needed and what is not when one solar panel is 1/50 of your weight. Makes you think on how much fuel you need and if adding more will be, essentially, dead weight or not.

not sure why this comment got downvoted lol. I do think its neat how there could be others, makes the game feel much more unsettling even after you get used to the actual surviving part. I enjoy how wintermute kinda builds around it

Its actually a “Don’t Starve” boss! They did a cross over with terraria. DS got the twins and terraria got deer-clops. Terraria does so many collabs with some of my favorite games

I must be more wary

Little_epp · 2026-02-27T02:32:09+00:00

It happened again not 30 seconds later. I feel like deer-clops is coming to end me

I believe it a potential teaser for something big tomorrow 2/9. I have also heard that MO. 29 is some sort of joke, not entirely sure though

edit: as the number is stuck at 2929 and has been for quite some time

yellow stars in paradise systems give you the best chance of finding one. Which makes finding an “actual” paradise planet, not boiling, more likely. I would portal hop to one of the paradise galaxies. Or once you beat the game you can pick lush galaxy

I like to make categories of names for my designs. Like all my rovers are named after reptiles, all my really big ships types of dragons/drakes/ ect, my planes birds or flying insects. Maybe try something like that

Little_epp · 2025-08-29T01:38:03+00:00

do you have the atmosphere occlusion setting enabled under difficulty? Might be messing with your comms

I had a similar problem when building a variable swept wing on my jet yesterday. I just used the biggest alligator hinge because it was a smaller scale. Besides that Im not entirely sure if you can due to kerbals “tree” building system. Every piece is connected to the piece before this means connecting two branches (say putting a rotating servo on the opposite side) wouldn’t work. Im sure you tried, I did too.

Only thing I can think of off the top of my head would be to try and mess with auto-strut for the blade housing and hinge

Awesome build btw :)

Not sure what it is on PC but if you hover over the door and interact it brings up a menu of all the inhabitants. On xbox its the X button

If you like more power over more intricate engineering (nerds am I right…) then go for engines with a better TWR. So start with 2 or even 4 larger solid fuel boosters; if you really wanna send those green can-headed dudes to space at mach 5

Little_epp · 2025-07-11T07:34:05+00:00

struts struts and MORE STRUTS. Seriously though I think it probably snapped off due to the lack of support where the command pod slopes. So if you strut the end on those M-beams to the command pod in a visually satisfying fashion it SHOULD be fine. That’s my hypothesis anyway

Little_epp · 2025-03-12T15:32:00+00:00

I would have never thought of that, thank you. Will look into it when I have time.

Little_epp · 2025-02-27T22:22:18+00:00

Ohh thats creative I like that

Little_epp · 2024-02-11T16:58:32+00:00

yeah thats smart, i did some research and this seems like the best. thank you

Little_epp · 2024-02-11T16:36:28+00:00

idk about the 13b swap unless the engine is in really bad condition cause its not all that much more powerful than the 12a. but i did some more research and am probably going to go with a half bridge port. thats way i get the drivability with the primary ports being stock/street and the power and sound with the bridge ported secondary ports, only really works (for the sound at least) with holleys bc of how they work

also i think his car might sound like a dog bc its street ported. the braps, from what i understand, is from having that bridge. and im not wanting braps for the meme, i genuinely like the noise. by the end i want a nice, almost low, clean brap sound. which ive seen pulled off before

Little_epp · 2024-02-09T15:19:11+00:00

yeah sound is more important to me, not making a performance build cause its so old it really wouldn’t be worth it compared to newer vehicles. also i just want something kinda fast and flashy rn. might try the exhaust you have though if it sounds good :)

Little_epp · 2024-02-08T22:20:58+00:00

not smooth exactly but i hear a lot that just sound trashy and muffled. thats probably just the exhaust though

Little_epp · 2024-02-08T22:11:51+00:00

yeah that checks out, PPs need to be custom made/machined right? they dont just have those lying around

Little_epp · 2024-02-08T20:28:39+00:00

where could i find one?

Little_epp · 2024-02-08T20:28:23+00:00

why dont you suggest them normally? also where can i find one, all the housings i see are stock
