GAME : Kerbal Space Program VERSION 1.12.3
MUSIC :
"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"
• Chill Synth / Synthwav...
Doom Eternal "Hell on Earth"
• Video
---------------------------------------
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS :
1. When do you upload videos? - I make videos as often as I can.
2. What do you do for a living? - I work a full time construction job plus any overtime I can get.
3. Where can I download the craft file? - No downloads as of yet. I don't have the time, but these videos are meant for you to be inspired to build your own crafts. I try to make it so you can follow along with the build.
4. WHY isn't the video in ULTRA REALISTIC SUPER HIGH DEFINITION? Because unlike your rich ass that can afford a KILLER PC, I have to use what little money I have, to make sure that there's a roof over my head and food on the table before I can spend it on things like CPUs and GPUs.
Thank you.

THE CHANNEL:
This channel is about Kerbal Space Program and can consist of SSTO building tutorials and rocket building tutorials. Some times the videos contain bad language and adult humor but on a low level. In these videos no planet is safe as we can explore space together by landing on places like Duna and Jool and build large Duna colonies or orbital space stations. Also, Interplanetary SSTO builds seem to be a hot topic in the KSP community so I will be touching on those as well. I also build SSRT space craft. These are fun to build and easy to fly! Warships or space warships are one of my favorite things to make. Stock weapons can be very challenging and so when building them over time , you get to see the evolution of the designs. Same thing with the Warships. They get better and better with each new design.
Now , I know it's considered cheating but Kraken drives are a fun way to put things like warp drive ( like in Star Trek ) and or hyper drives ( like in Star Wars ) in your Kerbal space program game. These game mechanic loopholes are fun to figure out as you find out how they work and how to incorporate them into your star ship design.
Everything from Outposts on far away moons and Mining Stations around asteroids and comets, you name it I've ether built it or it's on my to do list! I still haven't really explored things like building SpaceX starship or any of the NASA spacecraft, and I think that's because it been done to many times. Recreations of spacecraft can be found almost everywhere on KZbin now and so making yet another one seem redundant. Only if the spacecraft recreation is of one that I loved as a kid will I even attempt to build it. Like the Apollo Moon Lander, or the whole Apollo rocket! Now that rocket was cool!
Many people have ask me if I'm ever going to wear my Mandalorian helmet ever again for my videos. And , yes. when the time is right, and I get a new wabcam, I will be dawning the helmet once more!
Thank you everyone! ... This is the way.

Intercepting a truck at a speed of 55 km/h with a jetpack... All the action takes place on the moon, and the truck doesn't have a driver. It's rare to see scenes like this even in movies

[@neves5083]

This is so cool, and the rover running wild looked like some plot from "for all mankind" "32 minutes past the hour" gives me goosebumps every time

[@crucialbeatle7935]

It’s wonderful that we’ll be able to pull off even cooler, more appropriate stuff like this in KSP 2!!!

[@Agge1]

And it will be a actual game mechanic

[@h.a.9880]

I'm really looking forward to KSP 2, but I have to say, there's a few things that KSP 2 needs to address and a few that it should address before I contemplate buying it. I want to see bugfixes, wheels and landing gear need to work properly (i hate that driving rovers feels like skidding on greased up ice), robotics need to work properly. It also wouldn't hurt if the game ran more stable and allowed for larger and more complex craft without massive performance losses. But frankly, I expect KSP2 to be a dumbed down mess, but maybe that's just my cynicism speaking.

[@Agge1]

@@h.a.9880 you will be able to make transfer routed by rover so they should fix the physics

[@h.a.9880]

@@Agge1 It's also a new engine, so hopefully, it'll be one that can handle the alien and outrageous concept of wheels better than unity did...

[@samuelsnowdon2271]

[@josephraffurty9293]

Nice truck capture! I know that driving in KSP has always been “janky”, but it infuriates me every time I loose control of a rover and remember that they made driving worse with the version 12 update, and it will never get fixed. I had some fun rover designs that worked great froren 12 that are now slippery/slidy death traps.

[@eekee6034]

You can override wheel friction with the tweakables menu. I do that all the time. So far, I've only tried turning the friction up to 10 and building the rover incredibly wide and low so it doesn't flip. It's pretty awesome when you can drive along 60 degree side-slopes on Kerbin, though I guess I'll get to a balanced approach eventually. I don't have a cure for the weedy little baby torque limiter, but there is a relevant override for that too, I just haven't figured it out yet. Though to be fair, none of this takes into account the fact that grass is kind-of slippery and reggolith is often lots of tiny stones which can roll over each other.

[@ArchaicAlibi]

So many cupulas! So. Many. Cupulas. About your mustang wrangle, I used to do something similar to that in orbit. If I was bored, I would start a spin -- how fast a spin depended on how bored I was -- then turn SAS off and go EVA, usually getting flung off as soon as I stepped outside. My challenge was to then time my approach back to the spinning vehicle such that I could grab a ladder at the exact moment it spun by me without me first getting bounced off of the vehicle.

[@guard13007]

Even though you can't often makes videos right now, I'm glad you still try, and we get these nuggets every once in a while. Not a big fan of watching streams, else I'd be trying to attend, but I'm glad that works for ya too. ^^

[@h.a.9880]

What an intense and masterfully executed operation to stop the out-of-control crane! Love the design of the small base, too. No one makes KSP stuff that looks like the 70s NASA concept art style down as much as VAOS!

[@cmbaz1140]

Great channel logo update. Men oh men I missed this types of video sooo much, great video buddy. Before I forget pitching you an idea. Can you try and dock two space craft while they are traveling through the deapest trench on the moon. I seen a video someone doing it and it was really cool. You can the the periapsis to travel through it.

[@Jonassoe]

Damn, what a heroic rescue by Bill

[@Yakez42]

Meanwhile I just gave up doing proper cranes in KSP and do container cranes xD For all man kind is basically KSP level of accuracy ;-). Space Shuttle to the Moon with closed cargo bay doors and no extra tanks, Buran using solid fuel boosters and other questionable shenanigans.

[@CardZed]

Dont forget SSTO from Earth to Mars, or a NERVA powered space shuttle that can somehow lift its own weight

[@eekee6034]

KSP is a bit careless about cooling and freely allows restarting rocket engines, but when it comes to orbital mechanics it's actually a little harder than real life because all the parts are a little heavier; It just has smaller planets, orbits, and star. If it allowed a modern sci-fi level of "questionable shenanigans," I'd have a lot more finished projects and a lot fewer failures.

[@ghriszlybare2547]

This video right here is the poster child for KSP! You have Intricate, Kraken attracting vehicles built to perform amazing space missions. A terrible disaster that most certainly could never have been avoided in any way. And to top it all off one of the original Kerbals saving the day! Im glad i found this channel

[@eekee6034]

Lovely cinematic, good machinery, good base! Eee old space art! hehe I go nuts for that. I don't know about the boom for sure, but I do know it applies to the horizontal arm at the base of the sail in sailing yachts. When the boat tacks into the wind, that thing has to swing across the deck, and if it hits you in the head, you're sure going to feel like something went "boom!" lol But I think the term might be older than that style of rigging. Them kerbals and their happy faces making me laugh in the middle of seriously thrilling action! :D I love it, and that was cool!

[@vaos3712]

go to settings, look for advanced tweekables, click it. now in your part window it will say, same vessel interaction. click it. now that part will interact with any other part that also has its “same vessel interaction “ turned on. like the loading bed and the bottom of the habitat, even if they are one vessel. good luck 👍

[@Yaivenov]

James Bond level truckchase!!

[@DistracticusPrime]

Yeah! That's the stuff! I spent soooo much time trying to get my mun base to connect; your crane works much better. Excellent cinematic, of course, and in period style even! The music sounds like early 1980's synth marketing promo stuff, except it's missing the logo swoosh noise. The only thing I would change is the music for Bill's dramatic rescue scene shouldn't have Doom Eternal but something more like Dueling Banjos or Foggy Mountain Breakdown. (Maybe someday, for the Director's Cut?)

[@DistracticusPrime]

Oh, almost forgot, speaking of period style... I certainly noticed your interstage fairing separation clip looks just like the beautiful iconic one from Apollo. Great job building your launcher that way!

@@vaos3712 on some stuff like the tanks.. to the truck.. and I put real struts too.

I ended up getting three trucks on the mun but it wasn’t pretty. 😂😂 do you have a video on how you build that from start to finish? The truck is bad ass! I modified it a little bit but it’s super functional and fun to use.

[@timspiker]

Hey VAOS, I have a question. Did you manage to solve the issue with the robotics? I just threw a whole bunch of stuff on the moon and started building a mining facility, but I noticed after a while that when jumping back and forth between vessels that the robotics start to shift from their original place and it's ruined my build. It's really frustrating and I wonder if there's a fix to keep things in place?

[@vaos3712]

other then locking them before you leave… the only thing you can do more, is set them back to their compact position then lockthem before leaving. sorry i can’t help anymore than that. 🫡

[@timspiker]

@@vaos3712 Ahh, yes that's the way to keep the parts themselves from moving. But I mean, they shift from their built position. Like if I stuck a hinge to a fuselage or rocket piece, it appears the robotics identify as different pieces and over time they will shift from the parts they're attached to, making it only playable for a few saves. It has been a bug for 4 years appearantly. It's really stupid they never fixed it. When you send a ship far out into space and it's engines contain robotics, it means the ship can become unflyable and will never be able to return home. Out of all the bugs, this one really sucks.

[@vaos3712]

@@timspiker that does suck. had the same problem with the Duna Colony series long time ago. fixed it by making the craft with as few parts as possible. Auto strut and rigid attachment EVERYTHING. it worked 75% of the time. hope this helps

Hey VAOS, I've got an idea that I've been working on for a year that I want you to take a crack at. Don't worry, its not a large project. I've been trying to make a rover with a trailer bed that's expandable... to about 20 meters.

[@tobydiaz2327]

I want it to have a sky crane docking pad on it. I've worked out a sky crane design on my own using information on KAL units from a channel named "urban venture" (makes you a KAL wiz instantly). It can augment it's thruster orientation vertically as well, to better align with the new center of mass that comes with every payload.

[@tobydiaz2327]

It's also pretty smart to have the underside of the vehicle act as a sort of fuel store, so it can both help maintain a low center of mass while transporting builds, and can serve as a fuel transporter itself.

[@tobydiaz2327]

I was also thinking of having the base fuel store be a modular array, so I could make new fuel tanks for different kinds of fuel if needed. Future proofing, and all.
