I was going to say this! Something along the lines of [Build] ----------[Progress Bar]----------- [Launch] (4:35) would probably look best

[@kataseiko]

Agreed. You can e.g. put the time of the launch below the "Launch" text. Also, I'm sure you have seen the SpaceX missions. It would be awesome to have a timer similar to that one on your videos after launch.

[@ВиталяКекс-ц6е]

Tip: Liquid engines on the side instead of a shit ton of solid fuel boosters around a mammoth are more efficient. Engines with low power are more fuel efficient. When taking off kerbin, do it in a more aggressive angle. Don’t fly at 90 degrees straight at the mun. Don’t make rockets heavy if your payload is small, make your rockets as compact as possible. Think about the weight of rocket in that way “how much do I have to lift? 80 tons of dead weight to duna? Well, time to make twin towers a children’s playground” “how much do I have to lift? 10 tons? We should something simple, something you can do in career mode” I hope I helped. That’s what I struggled with, anyway.

[@samiul_2636]

[@floo1465]

Yeah, I’ve sent an unmanned science lander to the Mun, and that’s it. Edit: Next, I’m going to send a prototype manned lander with a drone core. It won’t be manned, but I’ll attempt to get a habitable lander to the Mun and back.

I love the progress bar. Sometimes I don't have a ton of time, but still want to watch a Matt Lowne video. Being able to skip ahead without skipping the entire build is a really nice thing. I've never downloaded one of your craft files, but I have modeled some builds after yours so watching the build and being able to hop around within it is very useful to me.

[@thewanderers97]

I know this comment is 5 years old but same, I never use the craft file but often look at how matt has designed a craft to see roughly how to do things while I make my own and the progress bar helps so much

[@ClipsCrazeCC]

[@cyanastro3765]

Matt, in your next science play through you should set yourself the challenge of having to account for things like bone and muscle loss on long missions to other planets, that would be really cool so if you read this please do so!

[@hccphysics]

Maybe use a science mods?

[@hccphysics]

[@nitatransformation3184]

I Know Buut His Missions Are Very Long Like The Mission To Eeloo Took 180-189 Days Also How do You Sustain Them Like How Gravity Rings? Like How But Honestly I Like Your Idea Cyan!

[@darkner2390]

Challenge: - Land an SSTO on the mun and get back to Kerbin. You may land on other/further away planets if you wish to make it more challenging. - You are not allowed to use landing gear of any kind apart from landing legs. - This SSTO has both forward and backwards engines. The max forwards thrust is equal to the max backwards thrust. - The SSTO is allowed to have a VTOL feature(optional), but it must be launched from the runway. You don't have to accelerate forward to take off from the ground. - You can add anything onto it to make it more impressive. This is your own choice. Have fun and good luck.

[@callsignbones775]

[@seejianshin]

I think the most impressive thing about you is that you somehow manage to keep all the main kerbals alive

[@octokid13]

I like having the Progress bar and the Time Stamp, bc the Progress bar gives us an idea how much more time we have but it doesnt say when its done

[@JeffreyRobinsonII]

Hey, I love your build time lapse progress bar. I always watch your builds anyway, but it's just satisfying to be able to see the progress, it kind of gives me an idea of how big or complex the build is going to be, since I can see when it'll be done. Not that it matters, per se, but it's a nice touch for me.

[@thesteelrodent1796]

the surface features from breaking ground shows up much sooner than the scatter or any other features, so with draw distance on max you can see them pop up on the horizon (accounting for hills obviously) while you have to before close for the scatter to show up

[@convolutedpeppercorn1078]

I watch the time lapse, and actually really enjoy seeing how it is built, but I do also like the progress bar

[@nathanvalentine9244]

Matt maybe you could have some more time codes for different parts of the missions? (LKO, Transfer, other orbit, landing, deploying)

The progress bar was a good addition.

[@hmm2206]

If you want to find volcanos fast, use a station/ satellite in orbit around Vall and use the M700 Survey scanner. They will most likely be around the poles of the planet, from my experience.

Idea:Make A Vall base NEXT to the rover, you will have one More vehicle, and you could add an emergency ascent vehicle!

[@jbondrums_2034]

Ryan Voll you can google “ksp delta v map” and as long as you are playing a later version of the game (or with KER) you can use that to calculate the 🔺V usage. Alternatively, you can just completely over-engineer the craft like Matt!

You should send a base that is wrapped around the volcano kind of like your big magic astroid base. But it’ll be a surface base!!
