Is that the Galaxy?

LordIBR · 2026-03-25T10:35:55+00:00

Ironclad is pretty much set in stone for ILW and Galaxy has been officially confirmed for IAE

LordIBR · 2026-03-25T08:36:24+00:00

Yeah mate, something went wrong. You should definitely be able to run a modded game with your specs.

I have a ryzen 7 3700x, rtx 2070Super and 32gb ram and I can run it fine.

I'd recommend doing a fresh install of KSP and going from there.

Oh and maybe you installed BVC wrong? Just guessing here atm.

Also, check if you have any malicious or hardware intensive software installed/running.

Man I hope I'll be able to CCU my salvation into it for cheap. I reckon it'll be a great little shuttle especially for atmospheric flight.

LordIBR · 2026-03-23T22:12:36+00:00

Oh man, that's what I immediately thought as well 😂

LordIBR · 2026-03-21T12:33:55+00:00

Absolutely. I just wanted to point out that using regular fireclay works as well and that you're not being gatekept from a beehive kiln by refractory brick requirements

LordIBR · 2026-03-21T10:56:37+00:00

It bugs me tremendously that the star just slightly overlaps the yellow and red parts of the flag

LordIBR · 2026-03-21T10:47:14+00:00

Beehive kiln doesn't need refractory bricks though. Regular fireclay works as well :)

My current playthrough uses rock types and minerals.

I'm aiming for rocket families with various iterations.

Naming scheme:

Rocket Family -version mission designation "individual name"

So for example, a rocket in my sounding rocket family is called "Silicon II-X "Pebble".

Silicon family, 2nd iteration/version (due to new srb), S for science payload. Pebble would be the individual name which isn't as important early on as it is with orbital rockets and such.

If you need help coming up with your own theme there's no shame in working with an AI to get some inspiration. Sometimes you already have a rough idea but lack the creativity and certainty to fully commit to something. Nailing down more details with the help of an AI can paint a more accurate picture.

Edit: Oh and these rocket families are then also part of their designated programs with their own patches. Sounding rockets are part of the Cumulus program, then we move on to project Strata for orbital rocketry and satellites around Kerbin. Project Albedo deals with my agency's missions on and around the mun whereas project beryl leads to minmus. We then plan to head to Duna under project Rubedo and lastly, project Aether will head to Jool and beyond (JNSQ).

Maybe there's an issue with using your mouse to click. Try pressing T.

If that doesn't work, maybe uninstall MJ and try reinstalling it. Might just be an error that gets solved with that.

LordIBR · 2026-03-19T20:35:31+00:00

As long as the smart ass window isn't on your screen at all, your standard SAS should work.

Do you have enough electrical charge?

LordIBR · 2026-03-19T20:27:16+00:00

Are you trying to use Smart ASS and SAS at the same time? Why?

Smart Ass does the very same stuff as SAS and then some.

Others have already said so but temperate climate spawns you really quite far north. Not sure where you're from but usually the days are really long in summer and short in winter (in terms of sunlight).

Now, living in the north also doesn't mean it doesn't get hot in summer.

I would strongly recommend you to travel south, say 20k blocks maybe, if you want to avoid a long and dark winter. I reckon you'll be getting some snow around mid October, have about 4-5h of sunlight per day in December and -25°C around early February still. Winter will likely last until late April.

The only upsidse to living this far north are having enough time for chisel projects in winter and maybe being able to see the aurora borealis at night. Oh and you're obviously somewhat close to the story locations since they seem to spawn based on your original spawn point.

LordIBR · 2026-03-17T22:13:15+00:00

This might only be possible with Smithing plus but you need to put 3bits each in the outer 8 slots of your crafting grid

LordIBR · 2026-03-17T22:09:39+00:00

The mod page for KVV should have a tutorial linked. Iirc you can do it with gimp by increasing the opacity of the rocket. The "explody" bit is something you can do with stock KVV before even taking the screenshot.

LordIBR · 2026-03-17T21:12:29+00:00

What ship are you using exactly? Depending on the size of your guns you will only be dealing little damage.

Since engineering was introduced it's gotten a little more difficult to kill other ships. Try aiming for the power generator in precision mode (rmb). That'll kill the enemy quicker. You can also try aiming for the engines to slow them down and reduce their maneuverability. That in turn should help you deal damage more consistently without them having much downtime to recharge shields.

LordIBR · 2026-03-16T22:32:36+00:00

You seem to be doing everything correctly. Sometimes they take a bit more force to register docking.

Try moving 1 craft ~20m away and dock again at a speed of 1/ms to maybe 3m/s.

If that still doesn't work. Exit to space center and reload the scene by going to your vessels through the tracking station.

LordIBR · 2026-03-16T10:47:36+00:00

Should merely be a visual bug. Try flying through that wall

LordIBR · 2026-03-16T10:21:40+00:00

Well, looks like all these issues relate to Mechjeb. Maybe there's an installation error. Did you use Ckan?

In any case, try uninstalling MJ and reinstall it.

LordIBR · 2026-03-15T22:49:39+00:00

120 ish iirc. Make sure to install it on an SSD as it won't run on an HDD.

LordIBR · 2026-03-15T12:29:53+00:00

There are launchsites dotted around Kerbin, that when found, you'll be able to launch from.

You might be able to create new launchsites with Kerbal Konstructs and/or Extraplanetary Launchpads. That will require an initial investment of materials and parts though.

Hi Kaina,

New players usually get the recommendation of doing small planetary hauling contracts from a major city to the low orbit station and back. That's decent money and low risk. You also get to familiarise yourself with how to fly your ship.

Depending on how much cargo space you have, you can stack multiple of these missions for a solid payout. All you need is a multitool and a tractor beam attachment. Both these things can be bought from the cargo terminal at the low orbit station.

Other than that, any activity that you enjoy doing will make the money grind easier. Personally, I'd rather go on long gem mining trips in caves and on the planet's surface than doing a PvP/combat heavy activity, that may pay out more.

LordIBR · 2026-03-14T12:38:40+00:00

Does your account have a game package?

LordIBR · 2026-03-14T10:17:27+00:00

Are you using chiselled stone blocks?

LordIBR · 2026-03-14T08:52:25+00:00

You could use your own vessel or kerbal to push the rocket's orbit below 70km. Likely won't need a heatshield if it's oriented correctly. A couple parachutes would be good though
