Weird, I've had that "landed" glitch happen to me too, also on Pol. Fun fact! You can't time warp while it's happening, but I was still able to accelerate my craft all the way out of Pol's sphere of influence, which results in the biome tracker and science modules recording that you have landed ON JOOL (you move to Jool's SOI but the game still thinks you are landed). So by using that glitch there is an actual way to "officially" be landed on Jool.

Asparagus staging is when instead of using lots of fuel tanks and detaching all of them after they are all depleted, you can have 1 tank, decouple it, next tank, decouple it, and so on. It reduces the amount of dead weight on your craft, thus increasing maximum potential delta-v. Hope this helped.

Feels like the drifting fuel tanks problem would benefit a lot from setting the decoupler force to 0

18:35 In that instance you could've just waited until you reached your apoapsis and burn retrograde. Doing so causes your periapses to decrease 10x more

Btw, you can adjust the ambient lighting brightness in the ksp settings. Though good job learning that burning with a lower periapsis is more efficient :)

1:00 if you put an engine plate above the mammoth and disable staging, you can attach a part below on the node that would usually be decoupled, and you can adjust the distance of this node. This is also how you stick decouplers below engine plates populated with multiple engines. It's really neat.

You can actually set the detachment power of the decouplers to zero so that the boosters don't move when you decouple the lander

Truly, this is a *mammoth* of an achievement.

This guy is the Nile red of kerbal space program

This is truly the Kerbal way

just a little tip, all of the green and black circle attachment points make drag

interesting similar idea: ants only to somewhere. See if you can strap enough tiny engines onto a rocket to get it to the min or something.

Some real rockets roll just after liftoff so they can pitch in the correct axis. Perhaps this simplifies the automated pilot. It's in a Scott Manley video; someone asked him about it.

1:35 The way you flipped those adapters just gave me a headache. Congrats.

When ksp 2 comes out you should do using only interstellar engines to get to the mun

Mmm yes, engines for *INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL* to the moon.

If your orbital trajectory doesn’t show up you can click maneuver mode and it will show your apoapsis and periapsis

the mammoth engine is just a solid booster, liquid form. At least, according to the first minute of the video

you can turn parts before placing them down with w,a,s,d,q,e

that "landed" thing happened to me when i landed on minmus, the mun, and maybe duna for the first time, if i remember correctly.

I've run into that bug where you have no orbital velocity but keep moving except I was taking off of minmus and it was in 1.5 or 1.6 I think it was awhile ago I'm not sure what the problem was either but like you I was taking off on my side as well

This is a perfect example of moar boosters

Hey bro its been a while i have an idea how about a bipedistal pston walker in scrap mechanic or in poly bridge

I like the mk2 fuel tank textures, where did you find them?

LETS GOOOOOOoO reid captain video

Use ] to switch to nearby probe/ ships

but one ting i noticed is in 18:45 you could have warped to apoapsis then burned retrograde then ur periapsis is at ground level probs i have never played ksp but i think that should have worked anyways i enjoyed the vid :)

If you are planning to carefully disconnect stages then don't use the explosive decouplers like that. Just use docking ports. You can use multiple ports to get the alignment to work automatically.

One thing you’ve could of done is use thrust limiter settings on the engine. It makes it much easier to get a precise burn and landing, and is particularly useful if you have high TWR.
