I just had the same bug with disconnecting 2 crafts. When you undock the port from the craft that doesn't have main control (like main crew capsule), it works fine. But if you decouple from the other port, it all gets bad. It's even worse if you reload save with bugged decoupled crafts, they just get eaten by Kraken.

[@sven_93]

The only unbiased answer to the quesion "Should you buy this game?" is a definite "No.". Simple as that. This game is no No Man's Sky. It is also no Cyberpunk 2077. It is worse. You get to pay 50€ to be a literal internal QA-Tester. It is absolutely ridiculous.

i heard someone say something that would be very nice. wobbly rockets ARE good if you have a booster attached to only one decoupler cause it teaches you that you need more support. Also, a rocket that is stacked vertically should NOT be wobbly.

[@dinoduderocket]

I discovered by accident but if you have a kerbal falling down towards kerbin, if you activate their jetpack whilst they are falling and then deactivate it cancels out all downward momentum, so even though there are no parachutes in the game you can still ensure crew survival when in Eva reentry

[@dinoduderocket]

I also encountered a bug where random kerbals would just be flying around near my ship in sandbox, as well as satellites and other debris from the main menu. Additionally encountered the camera bug where it centers nowhere near your ship

[@dinoduderocket]

I also had the bug with landing gear where they dont hit the ground properly and stay in their pre landing "hanging" state

[@pygzig]

To create an interstage shroud, you place an engine plate to the bottom of a fuel tank. You then place your engine of choice on the engine plate, and place a decoupler at the engine plate's bottom node. This should automatically create a interstage faring. The length of the interstage can be adjusted in the engine plate's tab in the parts manager.

[@MBooley]

You can see the TWR in the engineers report at the bottom, to the left of the launch button!

[@FirstnameLastname-tv5tm]

You can view thrust to weight ratio in the engineer's report bottom right of the screen. Also a warning to landing, if you quickload a save with a landing, at least one of the legs will just fall off and the vessel is completely unrecoverable unless you lift off immediately. Even then, the camera is stuck to a space between the legs and the ship.

31:25 Partial Fix for broken docking ports: adding a decoupler in between the ports allows them to dock and be used as normal after what causes the glitch which I believe to be from staging your rocket. I did not play ksp 1 but from what I’ve read this was also a bug at some point in that game.

Matt, I know this comment is a bit late, but if you see this, I've noticed a bug that struts sometimes disappear (just the lines connecting them, not the strut anchors) when saving and loading a craft in the VAB, and I think that the struts were there for the launch you showed -- where the station bugged -- but then they disappeared because of said bug and so you were able to normally undock on the launch pad afterwards.

About the docking port bug, it wasn't the struts. It happened to me twice after I did an Apollo style mission. EVA obliterated the command module of the lander at first, second try: successful docking, moved the crew to the return vessel, undocked -> craft obliterated, 0 struts on board

There is a thrust to weight for your whole craft available, but there is no thrust to weight per stage, which may be worth complaining about.

[@TSPxEclipse]

TWR is in the engineer's report app in the VAB, and the reason why undocking is "bugged" is because it tries to dock immediately after undocking which causes the acquisition force to make parts collide. They need to add a cooldown to the docking ports or something so that they wont try to re-dock as soon as it undocks. For now, you can just turn the acquisition force to 0% in the parts manager of *_both_* of the docking ports you want to undock, and they will just float apart like you would expect. As far as how the game runs, I think the performance would benefit greatly by adding DLSS/FSR support in the graphics, especially if they are recommending an RTX 3080 and some players will run the game in 4K. My 2070 can run high settings preset at 1080p around 35fps in-flight and 100fps in the VAB (which tells me it's more of a terrain optimization issue, which has been pointed out by the devs as something to be fixed in the near future). Not unplayable, but not ideal either. Although, for a game like this I don't need more than like 40fps for it to look smooth.

This is a fun video. If you want to put a space station in orbit, though, might be easier to Skylab it? Put the station together and launch it with a giant rocket? If you want a larger station, maybe send up new sections in their own rockets? Sending it up in a shuttle could work, but with the struts as we saw them, it might be too much of a hassle. You COULD use a space shuttle to ferry crew back and forth, though. Only way I could properly see the shuttle ferry option working is if there's some kind of utility arm module like in the actual space shuttle.

It's interesting how adamant Matt is in this that the space shuttle's OMS burnt monoprop. They were bipropellant engines, they used hypergolic fuels (self-igniting, typically toxic) instead of hydrolox, but they did use two, a fuel and an oxidiser. Admittedly, monopropellant probably is the best compromise in KSP, but there's that.

[@Tantalus7Aura]

You can see your Dv for your stages by clicking the little blue arrow pointing left on the left side at the launch button. There is a bug were then you add any new stage it does not show it immediately, the only workaround is to press the launch button and then revert back to the vehicle assembly.

[@johnburr9463]

PRO TIP: KSP 2 is better optimized to use monopropellant instead of reaction wheels. (Monopropellant appears to be much more dense now. And the reaction wheels are much more realistic now.)

One thing that's really pissing me off about other KZbinrs covering this game, is the fact they're crying saying the game is "Broken." I love the fact that Matt keeps saying, "It's early access," "It's not done yet," "It will get better."

[@lanej5828]

Shuttles are much easier when you pay attention to CoM and CoT. It just takes more work. Firstly, make the shuttle. Ensure that your vacuum engines’ CoT point into the CoM(by setting the thrust of the RS-25s to 0), and compensate for fuel drain + payload release. Secondly, attach the the big orange tank. Set the thrust limiters of the vacuum engines to 0 and the RS-25s to full. Then point the RS-25s into the CoM, compensating for fuel drain. Then attach the SRBs, and angle them slightly/mess with their thrust until the CoT points into the CoM - roughly. Not sure how easy this is in KSP 2, though.

[@lanej5828]

And the #1 cause of Loss of Craft and Life I’ve had with shuttles is those SRBs. You are at their mercy during that duration of the flight and jettisoning them is never safe - even with seperatrons. That’s why my Space agency ended up using LF boosters.
