KSP 2: The MINMUS Alien Monument! - Exploration Mode for Beginners

[@charlesmayberry2825]

So the orbit line disappears under a couple of different conditions, if you EVA and get a little ways away then come back it can trigger it, or when you control a ship or return to the KSC then retake control of it. Basically there's a chance it happens any time the game decides that it's that it doesn't need to simulate the ship, then returns to simulating it. If you load a quick save and it doesn't come back when you take off again, reload the quick save again, just get yourself about 15-20 meters above the surface and touch back down. When you launch again it will come back. Somewhere there is a function that doesn't double check the vessel state, what I think happens (as a programmer, and supported by the games warning messages) is that when you leave for EVA, or the KSC it triggers the "Vessel of crashing trajectory" message, so there is likely a function that doesn't check the status of the ship to see if it's landed, it assumes that it's not. Then when you regain control it doesn't recheck the status. so when you take off, the ship situation is landed, but another function somewhere thinks it's suborbital, since it thinks it's suborbital it never triggers the status change on liftoff, so no orbital lines. This is also supported by the whole if I take off, and land immediately, then take off again, it will restore the orbital line. So somewhere there is a boolean value to determine the status internally that isn't getting updated properly. That's my mildly educated guess anyway.

[@SaviorTheBurn]

Yes it can be fixxed by going in the save and changing it to orbiting from landed. But the saves do not use the craft name in plain text so its hard to find the right vehicle.

[@alan-daniel]

@@SaviorTheBurn the Community Fixes mod auto-fixes it, just in case anyone wasn't aware (it's on CKAN)

[@harroschwarzbart6870]

Easiest fix is to load a save where you are still on the ground, exit your Kerbal and re-enter the cockpit. After taking off, the orbital line will be there again. I think that's also why it worked in the video. When Matt loaded his quicksave, Valentina was still outside the craft.

[@KrakinFun]

Hey Matt, I don't know if you're going to see this, but I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos much better when you are annotating them live! I know it may seem more "unprepared", but it truly ads more depth to the experience! Thanks!! 😁

[@tommyleyden6174]

As a new Kerbal player, your videos are so helpful and entertaining! The first thing I do after watching them is go try and execute the same mission; each of your videos introduces new topics so well. I cannot wait until your Duna video, hopefully it's soon! Thanks again, best subscription I've made on youtube in a while. Send a rover to Duna !!!

[@wthall11689]

Brother you've got to start remembering to put lights on your landers. I notice it's not your standard practice but they have some great flood, navigation, and tracking lights. Always put some small lights on any vehicle you plan on landing or docking and floods on all landers.

7:00 “ooh that’s a nice numbah”

[@RyanSmith-ud9fe]

Hey Matt Lowne! Love the KSP 2 Begginer series, im at a similar position to you in terms of progressing. I have been waiting since this point as im not quite sure how to efficiently get to other planets. I cant wait for the vid on mars/duna monument! Love the vids (sorry if it sounds like im rushing you im just excited!)

[@cohenplays4491]

Hey Matt, love your videos man. Never stop.

[@Scotty8472]

when I did the minmus mission I got back to kerbin without the orbit trajectory. that was a tricky one.

[@harroschwarzbart6870]

If your orbital line disappears, try loading a quicksave where you are still on the ground on minmus. Exit your kerbal and re-enter the craft and the orbital line should be there again after you take off. At least it repeatedly works for me :)

[@chugwhiskey6605]

Fire vid dude thanks for posting it, can’t believe I’m 21 and been watching you since 8-9th ish grade, no new vids to watch from you now

[@EvilCash3w]

Hey Matt if you are reading this, please make a tutorial on how to send larger capsules up (like the 3 kerbs one. This has been a logistical nightmare for me to figure out eurrrrgh)

[@rinmen8794]

ah yes... sminmus..... sbinnymus........ My Favorite ! ! ! ! ! !

[@jferk]

pro tip: if you want to leave minmus really easy, leave like how you leave the mun or keep going straight, you should leave the minmus’s soi and immediately enter kerbin’s orbit, where you can re enter

[@vonSchmettern]

Did the first mission to Minmus today, as it happens - so this video came in very handy indeed, thanks a lot!

[@scottstata5076]

I had that exact landing in the dark doing that mission yesterday!! 😂😂😂 Got to love low gravity 👍

[@SFS-V]

First time Being sooo early to Matt lowne videos! Love the videos, keep them coming!

[@harroschwarzbart6870]

I am very much looking forward to see you do the Tylo Mission, which I am currently stuck on. The difficulty escalated very quickly

[@mooseitself]

I struggled with this mission for so long. The trajectory line for my landing would always terminate well above the surface and the moment I crossed that point I would explode and it would say I crashed into the surface. Eventually I got it by effectively treating that point as if I was actually landing there and it let me cross the point by going through it at like 2m/s and then it let me land normally, it even put my line to ground again.

[@fractalelf7760]

Looks like the game is finally approaching playable, good to see.

[@iNinBreak]

i have tried doing this mission a few times but just cant seem to make it work but now i can finally see where i went wrong

[@iNinBreak]

damn has it really been 2 weeks? i was just thinking i could try this mission on my bday (24th march) but needed some refreshers. im starting to understand the meaning "time flies" seeing i turned 29 today

[@DSMUndies]

Appreciate the Sonic music 👌

[@toadbumps9537]

Please abandon 30 kerbals on Eeloo. I just want to preserve the kerbin race, and we need to do some testing before the colonies update comes out. Use the criminal kerbals first, then we're halfway to New Sydney!

[@IstasPumaNevada]

I saw two other comments point it out too, that an eccentric orbit is elliptical; you're meaning an inclined orbit in at least some of the places you're using eccentric.

[@animeforever5069]

[@woodenchaosbunny914]

Hello to my Kerbal brother from another Kerbal mother! 🖖🏼 Glad to hear with gonna visit Duna next, Cant wait to see the rocket for that one, is it gonna be nuclear ? thank you for the great mission logs video to Minmus 😂 ❤

[@TimbavatiLion]

Still using the small parts for the ascent stage, wouldn't ever do that once the medium parts are unlocked 😅 The poodle engine is just my absolute favourite. The best for orbital insertion and transfer stages, before unlocking the BIG nuclear one much further down the techtree. Also, i'd say a missed chance to teach the newlings how to properly align the orbit with AN/DN. Since Duna will be another target with no inclination change.

[@kaisteinsiek6946]

Pro Tipp: if you don't have enough electricity for reentry, you might use the alternator of your engine for power generation.

[@bat-fox8297]

i love your videos Matt

[@wiskimike]

Looking forward to the duna mission. When I did it I made an seperate lander. When I wanted to start from duna the „mothership“ magically disappeared 😂😂😂

[@iseedumbpeople-AUS]

10:40 Debris left over from your speed run to the Mun, you said Minmus.

[@worsevideomakerr]

another banger vid by matt lowne!!!

[@MarcyWilson-g2j]

I am having trouble building/launching my space shuttle that will go to the moon in Kerbal 2.0. Can you make a video about that? It is supposed to deliver space station parts in orbit.

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

When circularising at old Minmin, could you have done enough burn to drop the stage into the surface, then continued with the next stage?

[@monsterbash9758]

I think Minmus is after the Mun because there's one extra layer of complexity because of the inclination change required.

[@acraigwest]

When parts fly off like that, it can REALLY mess up the centre of gravity of the ship

[@lucascherrer8851]

Hey matt, I really miss your planet coaster videos. In case you need a reason to play it again, here it is

[@Levin-r2p]

[@maxdesouzatostatosta6918]

ksp 1 is good i love this i am from brasil i love you too matt lowne.

[@32zzo]

im hoping youll help with the duna monument too i keep undershooting it and then my engine blows up cause i landed a bit too hard, its always a one trip mission for me because i dont have the skill to do a rendezvous, nor have i ever landed on duna with a kerbal

[@gooseturtle219]

Does Matt realize that an eccentric orbit means that it is elliptical not inclined?

[@alecisla]

Matt, how on Earth do you move your camera around the ship so fast??? I mean, when you pan the camera around the ship....my speed is 10x slower than that, I have to click and drag 10 times, to move from one side of the ship to the other, I don't know why is soooooooo slow :(

[@giovannidelprete3085]

Hey matt, will you be doing a life on laythe S3 in ksp2??

[@benjaminsmith3364]

[@evanoggs5863]

can't seem to keep the rocket straight whilst heading to LKO, it always starts to drift or rotate

[@paulinalevina9690]

Try to make a rocket resembling Starship in the next mission!

[@GilWanderley]

Is it me or Matt forgot about crew observations science points?

[@harroschwarzbart6870]

I was wondering that myself. Could be that the crew observations from the cockpit are the same as from EVA, so even though you can do them again, you wouldn't get extra points. But I haven't figured that out yet.

[@Fizwalker]

I forget where I saw this, but I think fuel lines act as struts too..... Has that been your experience?

[@guy_autordie]

sonic 3 soundtrack? or s&k?

[@Slu5h3]

i just got KSP 2 and did a mun mission in for science. is there a reason that it seems to be WAY harder than KSP 1? i launched a rocket with over 6000 DV and it was stupidly hard to get where i was going (granted i messed up the encounter a few times due to a bug but the adjustments i made were minimal)

[@TehKazlehoff]

Love the sonic 3 music

[@garbagegod]

Nice

[@Slu5h3]

I just finished the ike mini mission it goves to you after setting foot on duna and i want to flip a table. Got there perfectly fine, and discarded my transfer vehicle, perfectly fine. The problem came after i made sure my transfer vehicle was going to smash into duna. For some reason, the game thought my lander / return vehicle was out of fuel. The guages were all full, however it said i was out of DV so it wouldnt let me plan manuver nodes. I reloaded the save and even re launched the game but it wouldnt read the DV i obviously had. Did the mission anyway and at the end i still had plenty of fuel to get me back to kerbin. So i turned on infinite fuel and did the return flight without manuver nodes whkch hurt my brain.

[@evanhurt8673]

[@Anastas1786]

I don't know if the Space Center keeps archaeologists on staff full-time, but I'm pretty sure they'd want to _shoot you_ for suggesting that Valentina should land _"directly on the target",_ and _again_ for sending her _closer_ to the big central statue, _into_ its deliberately flattened and decorated plaza, come daybreak.

[@LimeJuice0308]

Did everyone read the thumbnail as *”MINMUS MOMENT”*

[@JoeFrogz]

I’m way ahead of this in my save file but watching these videos I relise how inefficient and over engineered my designs are 😅

[@stephengalanis]

I've never played KSP, watched a lot. Then JNO was on sale a while ago on Steam, and because my PC is no graphics monster, I have that and play that sometimes. But watching KSP2, and paying attention to craft construction... I'm struck by how basic it is. It's just "and then we'll add the Reliant engine!" Done. There's no tuning the nozzle type, throat size, length, or chamber pressure.

Time to unsub, this channel is going to spoil every neat thing to find by the time KSP2 is worth buying.

[@bitblit]

Or just skip the spoiler-y videos?

[@eekee6034]

I know the feeling, though I'm surprised you managed to avoid all the prerelease spoilers. I managed to spoil KSP1 for myself when I didn't even watch KZbin at all. I was expecting astronomy followed by carefully planned missions, like RL, so I didn't have a big issue with zooming in on all the bodies in the tracking station. After that, and after finding out how boring most of the world surfaces were to actually explore, the plotless mysteries, cheesy "science", and issues with large structures, there wasn't much left to keep my interest. KSP2 has better ideas all round, though it still only has one easily-spoilered universe. I grew up in a world of procedural generation.
