"Breaking Ground" - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW - NEW KSP DLC

[@flamingmoose1479]

Even at the whopping $45 total I've spent on the game + DLC, I've gotten way more than my money's worth in time spent in the game. I'll gladly support the devs for $15 a year.

[@PflanzenChirurg]

yep a buy for sure, i dont even pirate ksp because its worth it

[@helensisikoff]

I donated in 2014 20€ , so I got the game and every future update for it. It is one of very few games, that I actually bought, instead of stealing on torrents.

[@machy8515]

Flaming Moose I’ve spent 70 I could of saved it for a new pc.

[@Bubbadevlin]

"not intended to be used as propulsion" Bah! anything can be used for propulsion in KSP. From engine exhaust to reaction wheels to landing legs and the ore scanner... I would NOT be surprised to see countless helicopters and propeller aircraft

[@xxpoisonblxx]

I've also tested and verified you can use the gimbal on the vector engines as rover wheels... with some creativity. Used kOS to control it though. Very slippery, so no up-hill-ing...

Will the dlc force to play the latest game version or it will be possible to use older versions with the addition of the new content?

I can't wait to have a valid reason for a Space Trucking mining operation that doesn't use Jenky/flimsy Sock Solutions to Hinges and Levers.

Well, a cryovolcano would still shoot matter hotter than the surface (but not lava). If the kerbal withstand the cold of the surface, surely they are fine in the cryovolcano.

Yay! scanning arms will allow awesome opportunity rover recreations

[@AstroHopefulBenjaminGottsch]

You could add a series of small docking ports on the sides of your rockets and the robotic arms to use that as a system to hold your robotic parts down on the vehicle. Even use a series of small docking ports on your interplanetary transfer vehicle in conjunction with the robotic parts, you can add a sort of stock docking latching system for these larger vehicles. That way you can in a way strut these vehicles together in a stock way.

But you could, use a Girder, a Hinge and a Docking port oriented however you need, let the arm swing out and lock in place, Dock, then refuel or whatever you need to do

[@Suedocode]

From all the info I could find, I thought the new robotics amounted to just a hinge. So hyped to see rotators and pistons as well! I took next week off of work for this lol

[@MR0KITTY]

So I could make a plane with folding wings, working flaps, Concord nose folding down, landing gear that folds inward instead of just up. Neat stuff...

[@andreipendle1778]

Already waiting anxiously for your next creations! This is, by far, the most significant parts addition to the game since launch.

[@FrikInCasualMode]

I like glowing spacesuits :) Finally, my brave Kerbals will be clearly visible in the murky darkness of space night. Also, propellers - maybe not for the planes... but finally i will be able to build stock, electrically powered, propeller-driven hydrofoil and go explore Laythe's seas.

It's a great dlc, but one thing it is immediately missing is more linear actuators. Like flat ones for moving things away from the lander can cargo compartment.

[@AllenLawthfar]

I’m so happy that I bought KSP way back when it was early access.😁 You see when KSP wanted players to start paying for updates the fans lashed back so hard KSP said:” If you bought the original game all add-ons were free.”

[@StainlessHelena]

Is it possible to stack the rotors to make faster spinning propellers?

[@Ulfurond]

yes tried it last night

[@glaciusor]

I've been wanting these things for years, so excited! I can already thing of tons of things I'd love to do that I couldn't figure out how to accomplish 5 years ago without things like linear actuators and the like... as well as other fun concepts or useful vehicle morphs at varying altitudes. Plus, the fact that it's been this long and the KSP team is still at it, and the literal hundreds of hours I've dumped into the game? $15 seems more than fair to try to support them further imo.

[@JacobKinsley]

I got it just for the robotics but I ended up loving surface science because it gives you an excuse to go EVA and bring multiple kerbals on missions

[@coling.4476]

My best guess is to use autostrut the robotic parts of your craft for enhanced strength

[@ShadowZone]

Nope. Tried that already. At worst things just lock up and don't move at all.

Thank you very much for this coverage, top class review! I can't remember if I'm an early adopter or not.. I don't remember buying the previous DLC but I do have it... I have a tendancy to buy lots of stuff on steam though so I definitely could have bought it. Oh well I'll find out tomorrow! If not I'll definitely pay the $15. - EDIT: I am an early adopter.. for Steam users who are curious: click your name at the top right of steam > account details > view purchase history > scroll down to 2013 and see if "Kerbal Space Program - Early Adopters" is listed.

[@joyhoward6105]

[@rayceeya8659]

@@joyhoward6105 I prefer Career mode with a few handy quality of life mods. So I tend to build my stations piecemeal, and I have a hard time throwing anything away. So they tend to look a bit like floating junk piles. It was going to be more of a mobile science base, fully self sufficient with three science labs and half a dozen Nervs for propulsion. I took care to insure that the center of mass remained in the center and I would have built it over the course of about 8 or so launches to complete it. I had it all planned out. Oh well back to the drawing board as they say. Next time I build something really impressive. I have roughly 3500 hours in KSP so I know how to Kerbal some impressive stuff.

[@justinroberto4178]

KSP is one of the most amazing games that I've never played a lot because I never had the patience to learn how to play it.

[@johndee2990]

Being that I'm from the North, I'm going to use this to expand my Resource Extraction Outfit. I already built a Stock Cab-Over Rig and Mobile Refinery/Pump Station Semi Trailer. Also, a Sock Chinook Helicopter that could Carry either the Rig or the Trailer. With Making History, I was able to make an efficient Rocket for Astral Mining.. Now, I'm going to be able to make a better Mining Operation. (Not even mad about the Save thing because I tend to Restart a Career if I get bored/unlock useless parts anyway.) This will be great, I might even make a Subnautica Prawn Suit now!

On a kraken scale from 1 - 10, how often does the kraken attack the new robotic parts?

[@Furebel]

*spaghetti* out of *10*

[@konstantinkh]

Going purely from what I've seen, not having access to the early build, it looks like the constraint system uses the same kind of solver as the old joints did. And that means large, complex structures will be rather susceptible to krakens. Which is unfortunate, as there are much better solvers that don't have that problem.
