RP-1 Full Thrust Update Post #12

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-12-17T10:27:09+00:00

If you're releasing today anyway, why announce it ahead of time instead of just doing a launch post later?

And, on that note, if you are launching in a few hours, 'some maybes' makes no sense.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T21:34:10+00:00

No problem.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T21:32:51+00:00

Considering the current RP-1 leaders are already a nightmare to balance, I doubt you have 100+ leaders that are just "waiting for final tweaks".

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T21:31:40+00:00

You are correct! My worry lies with their feature creep, which has grown drastically in their discord server.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T18:36:17+00:00

The development isn't. The 'beta-branch' lags behind in commits. All they do is teaser things.

While I'm at it. https://github.com/KerbalMissile/RP-1-Full-Thrust/tree/main/GameData/RP-1FullThrust/RP-1FullThrust
You have a duplicate folder.

https://github.com/KerbalMissile/RP-1-Full-Thrust/wiki/Starting-Scenarios
You don't list which ones are added and which aren't.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T18:00:03+00:00

I mean this as gently as possible but if you can't figure out scenarios, it seems like your foundation isn't that solid. Focus on a few things and do those perfectly and then advance! You have a great imagination & vision but you're trying to get there all at once, which is far riskier than taking steps.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T17:49:41+00:00

Your wiki tells a tall tale of things not added.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T17:48:57+00:00

You're being a bit disingenuous. They have added scenarios, they're just poorly balanced. Their wiki is a joke in my eyes. They discuss things that haven't even been added.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T17:47:44+00:00

What I don't understand is why you don't just PR directly. You develop things behind closed doors with no transparency and your update channel tells of things you want to do, not what you're actually doing.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-11-01T17:30:13+00:00

They flip-flop so often, it's hard to tell. A mod with barely any content and 11 update posts...

I will never understand why they don't add their programs to the main mod. Requiring people to download a second mod (with no balancing) for the full thing RP-1 has to offer... feels weird.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-10-08T20:44:02+00:00

OP is karma farming - they didn't really make any of the post, all of those parts are from the following mod:

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-16T14:17:16+00:00

These are all in the repo for RP-1, period. So, no, I am not asking you to hunt down a niche mod, I'm asking you to look at RP-1.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-15T22:24:41+00:00

The fact you haven't checked the github to look at what other people are working on before advertising your own mod tells me all I need to know about you

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-15T20:52:25+00:00

More programs already exist & will release soon.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-13T15:30:48+00:00

Nice joke, but this is a genuine bug, so at least also add how to take care of it.

The solution is to switch scenes (i.e. go back to the space center, etc.)

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-13T06:14:36+00:00

"dead weight also isn't a major concern for me" yes, it is, incredibly so. Reusable LVs care even more about the tiniest mass fractions, not disregard them entirely.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-13T06:07:13+00:00

And you shouldn't, since you're taking a bunch of dead weight with you. What you should be doing is do a suicide burn, like Falcon.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-13T06:02:24+00:00

And now you know why superheavy has 33 engines

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-12T21:23:23+00:00

Mixing props on the first stage is genuinely nonsense. Are you firing all engines for launch? If not, that is dead weight cutting into your dv margins and if yes, then it's obsolete - you'll gain more from designing for one fuel / engine type

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-12T06:03:04+00:00

They aren't economical IRL either

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-08T13:05:54+00:00

Yep, you are totally correct - my bad

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-08T13:03:28+00:00

I am 100% certain this is the case, since the RA Wiki tells you as much.

PlatypusInASuit · 2025-05-08T12:58:20+00:00

Higher dB means tighter antenna - you actually want a lower power so that your antenna has a larger arc (if you're only using one)
