Yeah, reserve fuel is usually a bad idea anyway as it means additional weight. That said, it makes my strategy all the more risky that I went to the game's persistency file and disabled quick saves, quick loads, flight reverts and crew respawning. You very quickly leanr to make a safe and effective ...

An entry-level Mun landing doesn't require any docking, you can land and return to kerbin with a single command/lander module stage. I've only ever played career mode, and you very quickly work out how to do things the most efficient way, so many designs I see from sandbax carry extra weight for the...

So, the Asteroid Capture NASA pack has been released. Who's up for building an asteroid ring-system?

I'll keep an eye on the thread. I'll be in Kerbal for now

Right, stressful period receeding, what's the happy-haps folks?

Fine, I promise to wear deodorant in future...

Tempus Lander http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww154/FourEyedTroll/TempusLander_zpscc10a39a.png A - Docking point to Command Module for outbound trip. B - Docking port for ascent orbital docking around Duna, or attaching additional components for transport (Rovers, materials lab probes, etc). Also...

I'll grab a screenshot of each of the components of my return Duna mission. The only advantage to having a separate lander and CM is if you are going to ditch the lander in Duna orbit. Otherwise, make the Lander the CM, and have it re-dock with the service module that carries the transfer engines. T...

Concerning distance and traveling by rails. I recently discovered that if i travel to the nether. it puts me within 10 steps of the spawn city gate. So i get to spawn city in 10 seconds instead of 4 rail changes. Still working on a better way of returning home other then dieing. But traveling in th...

I think you're pretty familiar with where my build is, so I'll not insult you by telling you where to find it. Presumably, you want me to carry on building the barn? I did a bit more today, just as an when I need a break from writing survey proposals.

I like the cruiser design, but something that big seems like it has a lot of potential for physics related fails. Personally, I prefer something that looks more like this...

Good luck buddy.

You've lost me there...

Supply always far exceeds demand, though I suspect people would be willing to pay to not have to gather excessive quantities of it for themselves. Same's probably true of most basic materials, logs especially.

indeed, what with hardened clay blocks and all.

Perhaps a New Zealand style sheep farming scheme would help restore the banalnce in this particular trading interaction? Or we could burn down all the major forests to re-value the leaf, er, sorry, the log.

Surely that's more of a proclamation than a rumour? Rumour's tend to be circulated in hushed tones I find.

Vola: Re the map, there needs to be an update for the T'mir line, as there's a connection between agricultural park and the lighthouse, via the archery range.

That is commitment to trolling, right there...

Vola, you can have the original map code if you're thinking about updating it yourself. Just remember to adhere to Beck's principles as best as possible and you'll do me proud.

Ture, though I think it might be useful for those harvesting local snow to be able to 'tidy up' the winter landscape every so often, rather than leave curious areas with no snow coverage. Just a thought anyway. Might be on late (UK time) tomorrow evening, got my Lit review presentation tomorrow mid ...

He's at Spawn. He's there to switch off rain to avoid lag, though if the server can handle it, it might be cool to have a disable switch.

There is a weather control villager, but he's not 100% reliable.

I'd say yes. I felt like a late adopter when I bought it in Beta and there'd been about 3 MC stories on Checkpoint already.

You get the bonus that the game has a lot more content now than if you'd bought it a few years ago, and it hasn't stopped being fun for me since I got it in 2010 or so.
