"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...

[@cpcallen]

Don't forget that time we learned that all you need is a ladder…

[@KSPUnitedYT]

Tweakscale + Micro landing gear + light probe = 400 m off the ground

[@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.

[@greatbullet7372]

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.

[@ln5321]

I expected cryovolcanoes to be bigger, possibly visible from orbit like Enceladus' are. But outside of that minor gripe, this expansion looks great.

[@kinglouie8837]

Okay time to start a new save. I'm so hyped. Maybe i manage to build an EVE-quadcopter-probe.

[@johndee2990]

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. Plus, I can still use those Rotors to make a Chinook Helicopter that is about as stable as a Stock Chinook. (meaning not very) Best part though, I'm going to attempt a Stock "Prawn Suit" from Subnautica!

[@Warriorking.1963]

I'm sitting with a bloody great big smile on my face right now. I've so wanted more science to do on the planets and moons they guys visit, and her finally I've got it. Can't wait until tomorrow!!! 😁

[@gbishel]

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.

[@ControlledPairsGaming]

Amazing content as always, man. Excited to step back into KSP.

[@alan69r]

Its like keyframing. Programming has nothing to do with this.

[@jexiagalleta4712]

Yay! scanning arms will allow awesome opportunity rover recreations

[@andreipendle1778]

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

[@teaser6089]

You could just change the output of the rotor and make it spin a lot faster, then it can work like a propeller

[@Wilge_Zomer]

Lets hope so, this was all I wanted for the mod

[@martijn9568]

Or you could put 2 rotors on top of each other.

[@Wilge_Zomer]

@@martijn9568 thats gonna take more weight and electricity

[@BenjaminGottsch]

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.

[@guyjacklin6430]

This is probably the best preview video on breaking ground. Thnx!

[@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...

[@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.

[@randymotter51]

having the robotics and inventory features alone is huge and could easily be expanded on later. If I had the extra money, I'd grab this dlc for sure.

[@karibu1404]

Tbh making history is just for ppl who really wanted to do historical accurate stuff, THIS dlc will be big

[@karibu1404]

@Crypto yeah, but on its own mh isn't worth it in my opinion

[@SporeZoo]

The control unit looks easy to use, cool.

[@benji45645]

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.

[@quaternarytetrad4039]

Thanks for the analysis! I think I'll drop $15 for this!

[@jacoblyman9441]

The robotic parts will be great to experiment with feathering wings like SpaceShipOne in the stock game.

[@zaarthelizard2728]

I like the exploration part of this dlc because I would end up landing on a planet with a rover, but no where to go. It’s just a rock in the sky. Now we have this stuff

[@captaincronked7895]

I'm gonna use this with tweakscale to make custom landing gear for planes :D

[@phraggers]

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.

[@TheSpacecraftX]

Surely mods can retrofit some of the properties of the larger hinges to the smaller ones for increased sturdiness? Same goes for tweaking the rotation speed to make props.

[@Danbearpig]

Whew, I’m glad I didn’t end up having time to jump-start a play through to get to new surface features faster! Thank you for such excellent content and for informative videos like this that are still spoiler-free! I’m super excited for this DLC. Keep up the great work!

[@ArgonByte]

Someone needs to build Star Wars AT-AT walkers and put them on the moon (or anywhere else)

[@SixDasher]

An ice moon ofcourse!

[@tarkalak]

That is no moon! Also IT'S A TRAP !!!

[@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!

[@Bobamelius]

I hope someone will make a Kerbal Joint Reinforcement-esque mod to deal with the weak robotic parts...

[@NikoliGhost]

Next year I hope kerbin will have some more places to visit. The planet feels so empty. Maybe cities or something idk. I would also like to see more map exploration I.e a new system to visit in their galaxy. Maybe find life on another planet or moon such as Laythe.

[@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.

[@vladimirlenin4080]

*N O O O O* I missed the premiere Also, 0:00 Damn I missed that soundtrack

[@DanaTheLateBloomingFruitLoop]

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

[@ccasling4]

yes tried it last night

[@Shadowkey392]

I got excited about this the moment it said it was giving us experiments. Then it turned out that was only the icing on the cake.

[@lurts9820]

Just checked my steam. I just have the Making History Expansion in the DLC Tab... is it because I had the game before all the DLCs or is Germany/Europe a bit behind schedule again?

[@MCPilot1201]

If you buy this for propellers, changing from stock propellers will bring you reliability, at the cost of easy usage

[@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.

[@LiveLNXgaming]

can you stack rotors to add their rotation velocity together and make the prop[ spin faster?

[@konstantinkh]

It looks like a torque issue, not a velocity issue. So I think what you'll want to do is add reaction wheels to provide extra torque.

[@namedtruman]

I need to buy that t-shirt.

[@xzardas541]

So they finally added some mods to stock. Kerbal Inventory System More Surface Experiments (Something like this) A more than few mods for "robotics" + some scripts for walkers. 10:50 I was really hoping for EXPLOSION, sadly no collision detection. Overall nice, even if not the most original.

[@arpitverma2546]

Do i have to install all previous updates before installing this updates or I can just install this latest One?? Or will I get all update feature by just installing latest update?? Please reply... It will be a great help
