[@Immortalcheese]

The big question is: if you reload the base from the tracking station, is it stable, or does the kraken load in with it?

[@MattLowne]

So far it's stable! I revisited the save later on to grab a shot for the thumbnail, and not a wobble in sight!

[@derangedoven7928]

that’s good

[@bazzybfg]

omg is that the famous ksp youtuber matt lowne??

[@speedbird00_13]

ik its 3 years late but I've done this base a couple times now and over time you will eventually see a deg on the truss structure. it wont wobble put it essentially pulls apart. I think pyshics holder can overcome this though.

[@307Yerbua]

They should have called this extra update something like "Sticking the Landing"

[@DeepProbe]

The docking process looks painful even in this edited state. "Vertical Velocity Controller" mod and SAS in "normal to orbit" mode could be a huge relief in such efforts. I've done some skycrane missions and truly admire your persistance, especially understanding that largest of my crafts for such flights was less than 7 tonns, and your station is around 50 (with engines and fuel), plus that huge mast at the top...

[@HeidenLam]

You don’t need a mod for vertical control, just “control from” a controllable part that is pointing upwards and go RCS. Also, pointing normal in SAS surface mode (or target mode) is a lot more logical than that in SAS orbit mode.

[@DeepProbe]

​@@HeidenLam Any "skycrane" / "precise hover" operation require control point pointing upwards (or downwards), so, this step you recomended made "dy default". Mentioned mod precisely controlling craft's main thrust for compensating gravity for hovering at specified height (or for vertical speed control / engine shutoff during final seconds of desending). As for "also" - thanks for forcing me to open game client and check for what is really written at markers. Ofc, correct one is "radial out", not "normal". But "radial out for orbit" have marker at navball (so you can see where you are going to allign craft to) while "radial out for surface" is markerless (yes, it pointing directly to zenith which far more convinient and neat, but with some control point setings you may find craft suddenly flipped upside-down at near zero height - and this event would be inconvinient at all) Nevertheless, thank you again for pointing my attention to to erroneous term I used.

Matt, for you to learn about Sake. It can be drunk hot or cold, but the type of sake is specific to be drunk either hot or cold. The cup also changes, for hot is the small round stone one. And for the cold is a square one.

[@jeremyglass4283]

Wait, don’t magnetometer booms not work on the surface of a celestial body? So what if they break, they’re useless anyways! (Although admittedly, a station dangling from a Mun Arch doesn’t seem like something designed to be useful either)

yeah, I wasn't sure if they'd work, considering the base is suspended above the ground

[@sudantarescosmonautics9422]

@@MattLowne physically your base "hangs" between the ground and the space, but since the arch is part of the ground and you attached your base to it, the game recognises it as "landed". You can check it out from the tracking station.

[@Crimsonedge1]

Sake is just a general term for alcohol in Japan. The drink you're referring to that we westerners think of as sake, distilled rice wine, is called Nihonshu and should be served in a glass stood in a small, square wooden cup called a Masu. The square wooden cup is to catch the overflow as the sake should be served to the point of overflowing the glass slightly. (A way to show your customer that you're not "underserving" your alcohol.) Its is also perfectly acceptable and within etiquette to drink the overflow of sake straight from the wooden cup. It could be frowned upon in higher-end 5-star type places but certainly at your local Izakaya where people are there to have a drink with friends and let their hair down. First you sip from the glass to lower the level from the brim so you don't spill it, then you drink the overflow from the Masu and then you drink the from the glass.

[@Zepha21]

Ok here is what I would have aimed for straight away when trying to dock the station to the anchor module: get the station completely upright and turn up the thrusters just enough to achieve hover. and that's how the thrust stays. then i'd have used an all-directional RCS system to adjust position, yes also vertically. because the thrusters just hold me in palce, if i RCS up, i move just a little bit up and lose that momentum. that way i can be super gentle at such a difficult stunt. but you did it and i didn't, so good job, matt :)

[@prehistoricgames3432]

I envy you Matt you get 1.12 and I have to deal with enhanced edition's "quirks"

[@steve_rivers]

To help you out, matt, sake is made up of 2 japanese hiragana or katakana characters called sa and ke. They pretty much sound as they read. "Sa" has no 'R' sound at the end of it, and "ke" sounds more like 'Keh' than the kay at the end of okay. Hope that helps some, because you were making me cringe with laughter throughout the video. So thanks for that! :D

Could you use the kables with the KSI mod together with 3 or 4 ground anchors to hang a base over the Mohole arecebo style? Or perhapse Kables to ground to an angled tower and from three towers to a suspensed base? Dres maybe to give it a feature worth visiting. Or maybe use a similar set up with one or two towers to suspend a base off of the side of the Dres canyon.

There is an underrated cliff side peninsula at eves North Pole that drops 3 km to the sea. Adding a cliff side base would be quite cool. It’s a true 90 degree cliff so I have no clue how you would get a ground anchor on it

[@tsuyu2200]

Yes Matt, it is indeed pronounced “sah-kay” 「さけ」

[@tsuyu2200]

@Rex Rodgers yes and no. Some are mixed and designed to be served warm. Others are meant to be served cold. It depends what type of sake you get.

[@tomasebenlendr6440]

For hovering operation I would recommend "Surface" instead of "Target" mode for SAS, with "vertical out" mode. Then you can control your lateral velocity more smoothly (either by RCS or by short key presses of ASDW tilting your rocket slightly, "vertical out" mode then cancels perfectly the tilt, so that only small amount of lateral velocity is added (or subtracted)). It is not a big deal on the Mun, but it helps a lot when dealing with stronger gravity.

Cold Sake/warm sake depends on the season and the meal. During the summer, you're far more likely to be served cold sake, and during the winter, you're more likely to be served hot sake. And yes, it's pronounced sa-ke with the ke being pronounced like "Meh..." Certain dishes are also traditionally served with hot or cold sake, but they are also traditionally seasonal dishes, so I'm not entirely certain which came first...

Nitpicking: Com doshes face the two pillars of the arch, which makes for poor signal strength if you ask me (of course the game isn't that realistic fortunately) but it looks kinda dumb. Congrats on your achievement, must very nervwracking to do this. I thought that a telescopic anchor girder getting down like a crane to fetch the base docking port and then lifting up again would me easier but given the finnicky side of stock robotic parts... For a Mohole base using the ground anchor: anchor one in the bottom, put hinge on it, then girders, rotate the hinge so that the girder is vertical, build a node on the top of the girder, then four horizontal girders (two might be enough) and anchor those on the side of the Mohole. At the center add one or several docking ports to attach anything you want, you have your Mohole base. I just hope you saved before dropping down the base though, it looked quite nice and cosy.

[@scootergsp]

Challenge suggestion: Do multiple landing missions to various bodies in the system. Then do parachute recovery with the goal being to land closest to the Kerbal Space Center. Pick one building or structure to be the "bullseye" and see which one is your personal best.

I am rather surprised that you hover-floated the hanging base to the anchor using 'target'-mode rather then 'surface'-mode + radial out. And I was going to suggest adding escape pods to this new mun base... Alright something else to try with the anchor: Can it be attached to the buildings at the KSC? Or build something on Ike that points directly at Duna.
