This is literally your second video and I already consider you one of my favorite KSP TH-camrs.
What an honor!! Thank you!

Yoooo hi tangent
Same.
I've spend a four digit amount of hours in KSP and I sure have seen a lot. But I don't think I've ever seen such a horrific death.
With 500+ hours in KSP over the past two years, i can agree
The kraken consumed her.... alive
Kraken legit just hated Slevey and smiled her on the spot.
“The kraken killed her to death… Fatally.”-Matt lowne
she literally saw god atleast twice
No, you've got it all wrong. The train is just so happy to be the star of the video that it can't stop wagging its tail.
Ooooohhhh makes total sense!!
@@sidspooki or it thinks it an snake
I think you were getting the wiggle from the wheels in the rear having their own power- causing it to wiggle at joints. The rear has less mass, and it can push itself faster.. And the path of least resistance to move forward is wiggling side to side.
Turning down their power or turning it off would potentially help it.
I'll check this out, I messed around with the settings more than I show on screen but I never did mess with the actual power settings while in the VAB. I'll look into it.
that would probly be it. unstable systems and all. trying to push a chain
I agree, that should probably do it. Similar problem to having too much mass towards the front landing gear of a plane. Might be able to add breaks to just the rear wheels as well if the power settings don't fix it. Just enough drag to keep it in place.
@@sidspooki haven’t played KSP in a while but if you can apply a small amount of braking on the back train it might help as well.
@@sidspooki definitely having less power in the back would fix it. Even giving the last one a tiny bit of brakes would help tremendously, just as people do IRL with trailers/campers. Always have the brakes slightly applied, keeping it from accelerating faster than the puller.
These videos are my favorite thing, longer journeys with lots of cool events along the way. Plus you are entertaining to listen to and have nice editing
Im glad I could make something like that for you!
Agreed
I commented this on your south pole video like 15 minutes ago, but regardless, you have a criminally small audience. Your production quality is great and you deserve much more than 300 subs. Even if you haven't posted a whole lot yet, I think you should be getting more attention.
I really appreciate that!
I no joke rewatched 3:30 3 times and it got me every single time, I just can't get over it, I just can't
edit: 4 times now
I'm glad!
You are actually correct about shunting, as shunting is the act of moving train cars around the railyard to get them connected into their proper consists for the next haul.
i've been into this game for the better part of 10 years. i've seen a lot of shit. a train on kerbin is not one of those things.
The speed snake thing is a thing that happens IRL with poorly balanced trailer setups.
Every trailer needs to have 60-ish percent of its weight, at least, in front of the frontmost axle. Your trailers are set up on two axles which makes them inherently unstable. Think of a trailer's wheels as "drag" and the weight as regular mass - you need the center of drag behind the center of mass for an aircraft to be stable, and the same goes for the trailers. If you have successive trailers on the back of other trailers, you need to make sure that the additional weight of the trailer is supported close enough to the axle that the majority of the trailer's effective weight is still *in front* of the frontmost axle.
Point is you should only have rear wheels on your train cars. lol.
Overall 10/10 would recommend watching
Slevey suffered that really bad Gmod death, rip in ripped.
honestly i can't get over how compact that plane is, i have no idea on how to make anything in KSP that's even remotely complicated
I have it figured out on a very basic level lol
Try to make a train with a TGV type cars. There is less wheels. Intstead of two carriages holds one car, in TGV train, there is olny one per train car. More stable and less stress at speed
At least, without the DLC, I don't have access to hinges, and so I can't even think about trying this.
the wiggle seemed like typical poor weight distribution you can see on trailers irl. Maybe make the front ones a bit heavier and progressively loose weight until the lightest one at the back?
I believe that speed snake thing that's happening is because you have the center of mass of each car somewhat behind the center of the wheelbase. Like how the center of mass is averaged by the location of each part and how much it weighs, if you average the location of each wheel and put a mark where the average position is, the center of mass needs to be in front of the center of contact with the ground, that way the wheels are dragging the mass, not the mass dragging the wheels, or you get that oscillation.
yeah it seems like the trailer weight issue in real life when the load is too far back. Idk if kerbal emulates that but it sure looks like that
Nice vid, well done.
I thought that your problem with the swaying of the train looked familiar, so I did some digging. Turns out that this is a problem in real life as well, and trucks towing heavy loads need to be aware of the phenomenon called "Trailer Sway". This is a problem caused by weight distribution in the towed object. I'm not an expert or anything, but typically, people avoid the overcorrection force of the trailer by having the center of mass as far forward as conveniently possible. In essence, the mass should be placed upon the tongue of the trailer and forward from the axel
There are many examples of this phenomenon that you can find online.
This is not to say, of course, that other forces were not causing or helping this problem, but I believe the main culprit is Trailer Sway.
Wow thanks for the information! I'm gonna have to try that and see if it works any better!
Also the issue of not being able to take off might be due to the positioning of your back wheels. Since your main elevators are in the rear of the craft, they're trying to push the back of the craft down to move the nose up, but it's not going to be very effective if they have to fight the landing gear. Move the rear landing gear to just behind the center of mass and it'll be a lot easier to take off.
HURRAH FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT
HURRAH!
You may need to shift the weight of the train cars (and possibly the locomotive) further onto their rear axle.
I may check two of them during back base, one in a valley- northern the desert, another on mountain ranges of north-west KSC (40N I believe)
docking two or three crafts on land is my furthest, but you built it with at least 20 m/s.
What a creative man 👏
Now try to build a hovercraft and go to the South Pole from the space centre
Also subbed before 1K club remember us when you blow up
Oh I definitely will!
i really enjoy this wacky ksp videos but i imagine it’s really taxing on you do to this stuff very impressive
My ritual when I get home from work is to watch youtube and mindlessly play games, the only extra step is hitting record for me. I LOVE editing, and I've always done it so its not to bad :) Thanks for checking out my stuff!
She got hit by a Kraken-based-anti-personnel rifle
mate how much free time do you have, im jealous
I work full time and am Married, I just skip sleep to do this lol.
@@sidspooki good business model
just yesterday you had 500 something subs
GREAT vid! Glad I got recommended you! Remember me at 1 Mil ok?
I'll remember all of you, this has been incredible. I know people say it all the time but honestly I appreciate every view and I couldn't be more grateful for everyone checking out my videos.
Hey so, your background music in game is loud enuf that those of us with an auditory processin disorder like myself find it rly hard to hear what youre sayin over the loud background noise of the music; this is compounded by your soft spoken voice to be even harder to hear.
Pls just like, halve the background audio on games before you start playin them for streams; it makes for a vastly better listenin exp for the viewer and assures the video is more accessible.
I saw your rover to South Pole challenge and I think I am going to beat your record
Do it!
I saw you on Reddit when you were driving to the south pole, subscribing to your channel was a great decision, keep up the great content!
Thank you for taking the time to check it out!
I saw the reddit post too. And then the video appeared in my recemented videos section LOL
Your videos are honestly better produced and recorded than some of Matt Lowne's stuff, and the voiceover kind of reminds me of early Scott Manley style. Really happy to see a good new KSP creator in fucking 2022. Keep it up man.
I put alot of work into it, I don't like my voice over as much, getting over the awkwardness of talking to myself in a room with people in the other room lol.
@@sidspooki I totally get the voice over problem, I know sometimes people will stream while they record so they actually have people to talk to but with lengthy projects that might not be feasible yet with the audience size. Regardless, the voice over doesn't come across as awkward for me at least.
3:10 in the next 20 seconds a series of events occurs consisting of a small wiggle, followed by a ritual to summon the kraken, then the kraken consuming it's sacrifice. Horrifying.
Not sure if this has been mentioned. Over 300 comments. Did you try Auto-strutting the hinges? Also, you could go into action groups and remove the back set of wheels from the throttle key so that they aren’t applying acceleration on the section with lower mass.
Tip for your planes: how hard it is to get off the pad is almost entirely determined by the placement of the landing gear. Try putting them closer to the center of mass and it should be easier to rotate.
Yes thank you! Someone else told me this and it has fixed qlot of problems for me lol
Not only the placement of the gear, col should be a tiny bit behind com
Love your videos so far! I think you are going to start blowing up, i can just see it!
Thank you so much!!
@6:20 -- Set back wheels a bit higher inside fuselage than front wheel(s). This gives a 1-10 degree "natural angle" and planes like this lift off on their own :)
I started driving a small rover to each tree and monolith and setting up a small research station there. I switched to using a small airplane because I can fly at 5x the speed and not worry about flipping. I gave up after nearly 2 dozen.
oh also, the driver's compartment of a train is just called the cab
oh god, a 20m/s limit is awful. i had a truck that could hit like... 50 maybe? idk, but even then it took me hours to cross the continent.
Man I was just looking for a craft design to make a tank transportation locomotive but I just liked it so much that I forgot about that 😂 subbed!
Very cool! If you find a cool design that works lmk lol
@@sidspooki sure man ! I am trying to make a war logistics network on kerbin with trucks ,trains,ships,planes great fun !
All that Thomas the Tank Engine have finally forces the algorithm to join my two interests and show me this video.
if you want your convertible plane to take off smoothly you need to put the landing gears right behind the center of mass putting them infront will make it topple making it too rearwards will make it too stable
Btw "shunting" is when you push a train cart with out be couple to it. But at least you tried :)
Good to know! I definitely did try lol
I guess some fish aren't meant to be caught, that thing was fishtailing like no tomorrow!
This guy has hearted and replied to every comment, he is amazing
Nice job
Always! I'm still just amazed to have comments in the first place! Thank you for your kind words my dude.
Thank you for being cool
Welp rip our boi and rip the run
Maybe do the connections & wheel placement more like how trucks have them?
Do you have an editor or are you the editor? Because you only got 1k subs and when you said "My editor" it surprised me a little.
I am the editor, it was me talking to myself lol.
WTF I also did the same thing 2 weeks and had all the same problems awesome video man.
The whole train in the front, the one that houses tha main kerbal is a locomotive, but the thing that is on the locomotive that actually has the kerbal inside is, I think a train cab.
The speed snake might be because the center of mass for each train car isn't biased forward
the only secret is that the train can drive without consuming electrical energy
11:09 yes it is.
She got out because after only a few minutes she knew she should have decided to just walk back to station from the first monolith. LOL
I think the Kerbal committed suicide after realizing she has to sit in the back of the train driving across the planet. While speed snake is throwing her around. xD
You're probably right!
To get the plane-car off the ground easier, you need to put your rear landing gear further forward on the center of mass. This will allow the plane to pivot around the CoM when you pull back on the stick. It's not pivoting now because it can't. You are fighting against the weight of the vehicle which is all forward of your wheels.
Thank you! 8 always wondered what I was doing wrong.
@@sidspooki No problem. Getting a plane to fly in KSP is no easy feat in the first place. Getting THAT plane of yours to fly.... man that looks like FUCKING VOODOO!!!!! If you want a crash course in building planes in Kerbal look up Mike Aben on TH-cam. He's got an older series from a few years ago, but he's also got a new series since the final patch was released.
So from my *expertise engineering* the wobble may be due to the couplers not having and anti-oscillation measures. Along with that it could be caused by power being transmitted to the rear wheels. Try having secondary cars that do not have any drive train power.
Finally, your plane; you might have an issue with taking off due to lack of flaps providing the upward thrust you need.
I've fixed the plane thanks to suggestions about moving my back wheel behind the center of mass. I'll try out your train tips too!
0:25 why is the moon a freaking donut help
I may have missed it, but did you try overriding the auto wheel friction? I'd try progressively higher fiction as you go further back, maxing out at the rear car, and then high traction on the engine car's wheels, only power the engine's wheels too. This strat has helped me with wheeled vehicles, but I've never put hinges in between my axles.
I didn't try messing with the auto friction, but I did mess around with the traction. Ill have to give it a try.
bro I love this I tried a similar thing in ksp pls keep making vids I could see this getting big one day 👌
I don't plan on stopping!
I think the issue with your plane not taking off is because you placed the landing gear too far back, it preventing your from pitching up.
It definitely was!
Btw, the front of the train is the engine or the locomotive
The speed snake a very interesting name for the Kraken.
That train car/plane contraption is sick dude
Kinda like hide n seek except you know where they are
"It's very heavy" Way to be captain obvious there xD The thing is such a brick that it wudnt even take off until it hit a pebble that knocked it up into the air xD Truly is just a brick with wings that only barely counts as flight capable; like Buzz Lightyear.
next challange: circumvent Kerbin on foot
I thought about doing a weekly stream of that!
@@sidspooki i was joking, that would be ridiculous :D
i wasn't ready for that funeral... my heart
Now do this with every monolisk in the kerbol system (other planets have them too)
I’m sure SAS is to blame for the snake
ok but now you gotta BUILD a train to each monilith
thats right, just one big snake across the planet
On my list of video ideas I have "Kerbals Longest Rover" not far off lol
4:28 i guess ud just say "back to the engine"
The fucking speed snake got her!
Trains don't have steering wheels (unless you count land trains), so calling him a "helm" sounds weird. He's the train driver.
As I believe u should set manual frictioin control to those wheels for it to not, obviously, slide on the ground
Oh... okay...
That's pretty impressive
i think the speed snake happens because of the wings (air hits raised wing - turns bc of wing - repeat)
nvm
I do not have the patience you have. Also I usually don’t see KSP done like this
I like to switch things up a bit lol
Bruh one time i was eva and one of my kerbals was floating and we were going into the atmosphere
Pretty lit fam.
Subbed, thanks!
Thank you!
try to fly something through every planet system in ksp.
edit: time warp allowed
There's other star systems in ksp 1?
@@jacquesjtheripper5922 vanilla? no (i was talking about planet systems not star systems, as in a planet and its moons), modded? yes
Kraken took revenge because it can't do badass base jumps...

You are the literal Sonny Evans of KSP
dude you are my new favorite KSP youtuber. don't know how i didn't find out about you sooner
I just started posting on this channel a week ago!
@@sidspooki oh that makes a lot of sense. I saw both of your videos but didn’t realize that they were your first! The quality is so good for your first 2 videos. Keep it up, I love them. I can tell you’re going to grow really quickly
@@MonsieurDijon I've been making youtube for over 10 years, They have just never got views till I made this channel lol. Finally got lucky! Thank you for all your kind words, means alot :)
@@sidspooki ah that makes sense. this chaneel is great. can't wait for the next vids
You could’ve turned off SAS
That first monolith. I thought that was just game bug on my game. Wtf
Lol thats a fair assumption.
THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE
will you play ksp2
Yesssssss!
I want to see you Dock to a Space ship, thats Flying really fast and is in a Nonsensical Rotation Pattern and in a Northern and southpole Eliptic Orbit above Kerbin, but before you send a Trip over there to catch and recover that space ship, you need to get data from the mun surface and land on kerbin to deliver the sample to a rover and then you can begin to recover the Space ship, then land safely on kerbin with it... You need to have all the fuel to do this in 1 go (Multiple Refuel rockets are fine) you can't use rcs only the worst Reaction wheels because you are in the early state of Spaceflight, You can use all fuel tanks and Engines from before 4 tier of the research tree you'r choice if you wanna make it a bit easier or make it more hellish. Up for the challenge?
I'll definitely give this a consideration!
@@sidspooki The mission Code name is Interstellar, Because that's a really good movie. If not seen then watch it before this... Btw a hint for you to understand the movie better then listen to the tick tock and imagine Gravity's effect on Time...
High speed bullet train
Ive heard others refer to the speed snake as "the krakening" or even "the hydra"; tho in this case i think speed snake is the most apt descriptor cuz youre actually snekkin across the land.
This is a known occurence that happens when one has a long enuf structure that travels fast enuf. And judgin by it affectin such a small train, in gonna guess it was made even worse by the loose connections between the trains which let it move a bunch more
The video I had no idea I needed.
when it comes out of coarse
lol... Holy Hell... the way that Kerbal (Slimy? sp?) was yeeted into the ground by the Kraken was both (very) slightly disturbing and really funny. I liked your response to it.
8:55 “ever so delicately” *ireny slams into the train plane at like 10/343rds the speed of sound (or like 10 m/s)*
11:28 jeb in the corner wtf
Were the tires on the cars set to steer? I'd say try turning off the steering.
I tried them with steer, without steer, with hinges locked, without them locked, power, no power. No configuration seemed to work. Only thing I didn't try putting the brakes on the back car.
“ever so delicately” *lands face first and bounces*
I challenge you to make mid air docking with planes and make a aerial train
That would be insane!
@@sidspooki i tried it myself i failed misrably XD
