[@SFSPerseverance69420]

22:20 if you look at kerbal engineer your situation is Landed, which means that the game thinks you are landed, thus it shows no orbital line (because why would it if you are on the ground), camera shake happens because when you move over terrain in ksp, the camera likes to shake

[@reignman30]

Good catch. I figured maybe it was one of his mods because I've never seen that glitch before. Now why does the game think he's still landed?

[@SFSPerseverance69420]

I don't see why there's a reason someone couldn't make a mod for it. The issue is copyrights. Distributing copyrighted music via mods is generally a big no no for any mod distributor. So you'd need someone to compose music, or make a process to import the music from a KSP2 install

Stratzenblitz did a video on something similar to this glitch you encountered. When you took off from Duna, something kept the ascent vehicle from switching from the state “LANDED” to “FLYING”, as you can see in the Kerbal Engineer display. That’s also what causes the mysterious shaking. Stratzenblitz abused this glitch to allow for flight under the surface of Duna and Jool.

Hey Matt! The reason why your orbital line did not show on your Duna ascent is because your craft was in a "landed" state, which means that the game thinks you are on the surface of Duna, so it doesn't have to render the orbital lines. Hope this helped!

Afternoon Matt. Hope you're well and your weather is treating you better down South than it is here just outside of Durham, where it's raining stair-rods at the moment! Anyway, I digress. I've just started a sweet, heavily modded 3.5x rescale career in KSP and I've got a mod for you to try that I think you'll love. MKS, or Modular Kolonisation System developed by Roverdude. Basically it's as close to 'Colonies' as possible in KSP1.

[@michalsimanek6988]

Ty for putting the modlist in the description, i'm deffinetely going to play with this as the default!

[@there_are_bugs_under_your_skin]

Just make sure you install them correctly, or else the game might break (KSP is held together with hopes, dreams, sticks, and duck tape), or just install CKAN, that does everything for you.

For the solar panels exploding, I think what you could’ve done is retract them and before staging, click on extend solar panels and stage just before they are fully extended.

[@Jmstraubgamer]

Disclaimer: I specifically came here for the mods list, i didnt have time to watch the entire video so maybe Matt mentioned it there. Just some criticism for the future, I would put a disclaimer in your description for the volumetric cloud mod that it is indeed a paid mod only because those are sort of rare at the moment in todays world. Tbh I'd love to use it but with the way mods are i wont pay for it before being able to install it to make sure it works on my system with my modset. That being said it looks like he deserves the cash.

[@quezzert]

I agree, although the mod page does say it's only paid because it's early access... Maybe if we keep an eye out it'll become free soon 😄

[@IngieKerr]

as an "in lore" reason for introducing mods: you/your viewer community could come up with your own in-game tech advancement tree - following some logical pattern, (but not necessarily constrained 100% by such - where it would make more sense in the installation process to diverge from logic), and have story beats of your own invention in each episode which allow you to "unlock" the next mod or mods in your planned list. That way you can both explore mods, and have those mods make more tangible sense to those learning them, as they'll be tied to the story, and we humans tend to remember things better when we tie them to stories. :)

[@IngieKerr]

on the back of my thoughts there, I tried a prompt into gpt3.5 & 4o and it was pretty damn good & inspirational, I won't post the replies I got here, as it'd be a wall of words and would give away spoilers if you picked similar, and you'd likely want your own input/weighting bias to certain mods in the prompt, but my prompt was: _"describe 5 mods for Kerbal Space Program, together with some fictional "in-game" reason for these mods to be added to an episodic story, whereby the mods would be in effect "unlocked" by some story beat featuring the Kerbals themselves... e.g. USI Habitation Rings unlocked by first performing a separate EVA engineering mission (since an engineer would be needed on EVA to deploy the rings in a following missing and therefore would need prior training)"_

[@ShakyShooter2]

Matt A easier way to get a duna transfer window is just to draw a line from kerbin directly up, the line show pass right infront of duna. Its much easier then trying to figure out if its a 45 degree angle

[@ajax5117]

You should do a run where you are also trying to use Principia and kerbalsim. Principia fully replaces the physics in the game and gives it true n-body Newtonian gravitation in the process. Kerbalsim adds van fallen radiation belts to all the planets and makes space in general more dangerous, alters the game to add life support, radiation, failures and an entirely new way of doing science. Additionally you have to manage your food, water, waste and other aspects for your crew to survive the trips you send them on.

[@arjunjmahajan]

MATT! You should def get into modded ksp1 vids. Do inter-galaxies, warp drive stuff, there's so much to do

[@mayajade6198]

In addition to just doing videos that showcase various mods individually, it'd be fun to see you do missions with all the mods you've showcased so far, like just coming up with a fun roleplay reason to do some particular mission, like a plane that flies around Eve, or a giant mobile base on Eeloo, or whatever strikes your fancy really. Even having, like, different series of videos with ongoing stories where you can show off some more complex multi-part missions and stuff. And then as those videos go on, you can mention which mods you're using and be all like "and if you want to learn more about that, I have a video all about this mod here!" and do like a little cross-promotion thing. I dunno, it just seems like a good opportunity to expand on stuff that you've already covered in years past, but with new options and capabilities enabled by modded parts.

[@throwback19841]

16:36 often when the delta V wont show on a vehicle that had/has many stages, add a few empty staging events below and above your actual stages and miraculously it will calculate the dV correctly.

[@SFSPerseverance69420]

you could also try the ASET mod which adds proper IVA instruments, screens and controls, along with the FreeIVA mod, which allows you to move around in IVA parts

[@CosmicAggressor]

Please note that these short radius centrifuges are not a case of only 5% of people can use them at all, more a case of only 5% of people can use them without gravity training. Which basicly consists of laying on a spinning disk and moving your kneck back and forth a couple times a day for 2-3 weeks. So a very achievable training regiment.

[@TheEpicDragonCat]

Could just have the sleeping quarters in the gravity rings. Also slowing them down on the trip to Mars, and speeding them up on the trip back would help the astronauts get used to Mars gravity, and then back to Earth gravity.

[@cappykuntz1302]

I have an idea for a potential stock ksp vid that’s a twist on the typical SSTO Minmus mission. Instead of launching a ssto and doing a direct ascent mission, the ssto would carry a transfer and lander payload that would be deployed from LKO. The craft would then rendezvous with the ssto after the minmus/min landing and dock back into the cargo bay to then be landed back at the KSC.

I haven’t done it in quite a while and this just gives the drive to go back. Thank you.

I'd reccommend using The janitor's closet to hide modded parts instead of you having to uninstall and reinstall them every time you want to switch

absolutely SEAMLESS sponsorship transition, loved it

Out of curiosity regarding mods, what's your opinion on Connected Living Space? Personally I enjoy it, it makes designing things like space stations and large vessels interesting, especially considering I use USI Life Support and need to make sure longer missions have plenty of living space and access to supplies.

So you mentioned once the possibility of doing a big series in a similar vein to Scott Manley's Interstellar Quest. Do you have ideas for what you want to do with that? Is it coming up soon, or more of just something in the "idea phase" right now?

Nothing will be as beautiful as the ksp 2 planets :( they really looked great because of their updated terrain engine

re: the glitch - I first noticed it in a Mike Aben video. I have since had this same issue on at least one occasion, and I think its definitely got something to do with the game thinking you are landed when you are actually in the flight (my guess is that if you are slightly moving on the surface when you launch, it thinks you are still moving and therefore landed but moving, if that makes sense?). I had to revert back to a previous save from much earlier to fix it, sigh

I, for one, like your approach to mods

22:30 Funny that the no orbital line glitch happened to me a couple hours ago lol

I'm sure somebody has already mentioned it, but @scottmanley 's Interstellar wasn't in RSS. In time he did have some serious issues with game updates and mods keeping up with the game. It's still a great series, I go back and watch some episodes every once in a while. Good times!

Disappearing orbital lines happens to me all the time in KSP1 but I have mine modded so much.
