My favorite parts of these videos are the little day-in-the-life-of-Matt segments haha. Mountain biking is the best, started on a hardtail myself and have since upgraded to full suspension! Never going back, but I live in Southwestern United States so it's hardly every muddy. No need to worry about gummed up bearings ;)

I wish ksp had some sort of auto leveling part for base building. Like, a part you place on the ground or on a ground anchor and the some robotics in it automatically levels a platform on top of it that you can build on. That would be a lot easier than trying to eyeball it when building with the kerbal.

i cant believe there exists on the internet a ksp x mtb community. fills my heart with glee.

Here's a mission I have tried in the past, but I couldn't get it to work: take one of the big SSTO's with the Mk. 3 cargo bay, and see if you can fit an Eve lander in there. Not fully reusable, that's a pain in the ass, but that only the lander gets discarded.

Thanks Matt, hope you get better and it’s great to see some more quality Ksp content. My only question is: where is the whiskey review!

Just keep holding out there till KSP 2 Matt. I'm feeling a lethargy similar to the minecraft community with KSP. Content creators are treading ground they have for a decade, over and over. Few new frontiers are able to be explored, even with mods. With minecraft, the creators, even with mods and new updates, are visibly getting worn out. I hope for Hytale to reinvigorate them - I know that KSP 2 will be similar for the KSP community, and is thankfully coming much faster.

@eekee6034

I'm seeing the lethargy too. I wish my game was ready to show; crazy spaceplanes which absolutely put their individualistic styles ahead of efficiency, but the refuelling infrastructure they need is still very much in development. Also, I take far too long developing each plane - or other strange vehicle - and my pc needs a massive upgrade too. Edit: I forgot, Hoffman KSP Engineering is doing interesting things with KAL controllers, but he's not a regular uploader. And there's Carnassa who at least sounds enthusiastic...

This man’s made the CN tower on a different planet

Awesome! Feels like ages since I watched the last KSP video from Matt

It feels so good to know that Matt made another ksp video not so long ago after the other one!

It would be nice if spaceships could be launched from the tip of that thing. The idea is that the rotation of Gilly would be amplified by the height of the tower, basically making it a very big trebuchet.

@ez_theta_z9317

8 ай бұрын

neat idea, but it's not really tall enough for that and gilly's gravity is negligible anyway so it's just not needed

I love me a great ksp video to start the day off. Nice! I love the idea! I built something similar recently but it was quite smaller.

Glad to see more ksp content again!

"Something different but kind of the same" Berm peak, we love seth

Hey Matt, have you ever thought about actually building bases. Not a single launch base, but have them be built modularly on the surface using wheels and the ground Anchor parts and much like how real ones may be built in the future when we go to mars.

Very nice and inspiring video, feels like the good old days when I started watching your videos

Hahaha i got the berm peak express reference!! glad ur mountain biking👍👍

Really cool! I think another cool idea to do with the anchors would be to make a base that hangs like a bat from the top of the cave (not sure which one but i know that there is a cave on one of the planets) EDIT : i looked it up, its on tylo (: EDIT 2: i just realized, im not sure if the ground anchor can be placed upside down, so maybe try the asteroid grabing arm, not sure if it can atach to planets tho

@MattLowne

Grabbing arm and the anchor are unfortunately not able to grab the underside of the Tylo cave. It can sort-of be done in a similar way to my Mun Arch base, where it hangs over the mouth of the cave.

I’m also a mountain biker with bad sinuses in winter! Though it’s dry here in Los Angeles “winter”. Have you ever tried a xylitol sinus rinse? I used to get chronic sinus infections after every cold or bad spot of allergies. Has been life changing for me. Saline in a nets pot helped with allergens, dust, etc, but the occasional xylitol rinse the last few years has let me breathe better through my nose than any point in my life.

gosh i missed the KSP videos nothing better than a Saturday with a matt video

Awsome concept! Love the quality over quantity!

I already had made a gilly base a few days ago, I also made a mining vehicle with only rcs thrusters to go mine and bring back loads of ore so that I can continue to make monopropellant and keep the base operational.

That was amazing! I think you were right that your videos needed more time and that they would improve.

I am so happy you started making ksp videos again

Good on you for biking! It's a good hobby!

Hey mountain biking is awesome! Glad you're liking it, I am part of the niche this appeals to lol

Matt can do a voyager recreation by gravity assisting jool and escaping the sun's SOI, I did that once.

You shouldn't be able to hear the rockets in space in the first place. Perfect timing.

Love it, as long as I have your dulcet tones feeding commentary in my ear I'll manage without engine sound.

That ended up looking dope

I wonder how tall a space elevator to orbit would have to be on Gilly. :)

Love this video as usual! Your videos always make my day.

Count me as part of that small niche of MTB & KSP fans. And yes, I got the Berm Peak reference. If you ever want to start a MTB channel, I’d subscribe

You should make a series, building a village on Lathe one launch at a time. Each building would have a purpose (drilling, refining, cargo etc.)

I am inspired! Maybe I could use ground anchors to make bases in the future.

Matt just getting more and more desparate for things to talk about every video is the funniest downward spiral ever

I unironically loved the commentary.

"No sound anymore" the most realistic KSP video

Love this base!

Hey Matt, love your builds. and I have an Idea I am simply not capable of doing myself. Make the spice collectors from dune either a copy from the movie or your own idea of them. would be so cool having a massive rover on duna and then have a deployable collecting unit to pick it back up to either orbit or another location on duna. could be a chance do use the ore scanner again. Love your work!

thats a really creative idea!

Hey Matt, I've built a mun surface station, but everytime i switch to it or load a quicksafe the Kraken comes and destroys it. Is there any way to avoid this? Because it would be pretty sad if it's just lost forever.

Hey matt, know you might have a bit low motivation, but I just want you to know you should do whatever makes you happy. Love your channel. Keep up doing what you do man!

There he is the space brit is back and he's building more unique things

You should leave the sound off whenever outside of an atmosphere. Since sound waves require a medium to propagate. I think it would be a cool feature, just a suggestion though.

Love it! 😊

It would be cool to see some kerbals on the ground for scale.

the leaning tower of Gilly!

Matt hear me out on this: You should bring back Blunderbirds but with a new rule... YOU are not allowed to quick save or quick load. Make it a high stakes mission each time where the audience doesn't know if you will truly save the kerbals on your first try. Of course your free to troubleshoot your rescue craft in orbit and what-not. I mean, think about it, if the victims in the Blunderbirds series had simply loaded a save, they wouldn't really be needing help would they? Anyways that's my idea
