- And with that, we likely have the end of KSP 1 videos. There is an extremely small chance I post another, but I think that's a wrap.
The video I alluded to: • Building a Ring Around...
My Discord: / discord
KSP playlist: • Kerbal Space Program
Hey guys! I'm working on making a portable synth, if that sounds interesting to you, check out my Kickstarter!: www.kickstarter.com/projects/reidcaptain/mixisynth
At this point, how many multi-hundred year old kerbals do you have stranded throughout the system?
Trillions
@@brightax7502 of quadrillions.
ALL OF THEM.
@@vinixd3692 of quintillions

As always reaching the peak of engineering
FOR SCIENCE!
by neilred standards
Why did I choose Dres to land on? It's the only place I hadn't visited yet! With this video I have achieved my goal of landing everywhere.
yay
Land on a random metero
Congratulations!
next challenge: try to land on a asteroid with only thud engines
Now explore another universe
All KSP videos by Reid always ends up like a nile green video
Basically
Same speech pattern
Fr I was so confused when I first heard Nile green I though they were the same person
I just landed on Dres with a big lander with a modded nuclear engine and 12500-ish m/s dv, and now you just did it with separatrons... just unbelieveable and crazy :D
Good job!
"when in doubt, get out and push" -me in my early days of kerbal space program
me trying to stop my massive rover after i found out i didnt engage the parking brake💀😂
@buffalo wt same
Woah, i think you just discovered an entirely new way to lithobrake! Impressive!
The trick is to survive the initial impact with the lithosphere, who would have thought!
Lithobraking: the best way to assert dominance upon arrival to a planet.
"The game started to disagree with that filosophy"
That line was too good.
Knew you'd use the infinite Eva propellant "exploit" for something.
Exploit?
@@birkbuscher6571 if you enter a command pod of any kind (external seats don't work)
your EVA propellant replenishes.
you can replenish this infinitely. basically infinite fuel
kerbal sisyphus program
"And it is! But it worked!.."
That line was delivered so perfectly, I've never heard you saying anything using this tone, use it more:DD
Mod recommendation: waterfall mod, it turns engine plumes into meshes instead of particles which optimizes the game and it just looks good
I'm excited to see you make these Videos for Ksp2
This is probably the best video you ever made. Wow. Didn't think you would actually... land there. crazy.
Props to this man for sacrificing his computer and sanity for our entertainment.
Next challenge, rescue EVERY stranded kerbal in a single launch. No restrictions on what you can use
The kraken drive:
dang bro its unfair the thurst to weight will be crazy dude
Awesome video! I love playing Kerbal Space Program and it's always a challenge to try and use the smallest engines possible to reach different planets. Great job on accomplishing this feat with Dres, can't wait to see where your next mission takes you in the game!
man defines the phrase "if your rocket doesnt work add more rockets"
Ah yes, finally someone else who uses my patented "get out and push" method!
now you gotta get somewhere using just the backpack
😃👍
I hope that there is a more powerful jetpack in the second game so that we can avoid ladders altogether
yes
The ladders😶
I did that lol
@@ReidCaptain:(
That massive grin on that Kerbal near the end was amazing 😂
One time, I got the mk1 command pod and made a ring of 16 separations and turned on infinite fuel. My pod went straight up like a dart and now I have a century old kerbin orbiting the sun
Nice vid 👍, you can set the thrust of the engines lower to minimize the drag
True, I should have messed with that a little more
@@ReidCaptain And waited even longer.
This honestly gives me hope that maybe getting to space, other planets aint so hard. I have a delta V map so I should be fine.
4:06 Did we just get stickbugged by your Apoapsis?
You should try to recover every kerbal that is stranded in the least amount of launches and landers.
We love your videos
True
Separations are just stronger Escape Pods. Change my mind
The escape pod at home
*Sees video*
“That’s a remarkably stupid idea…”
I still much watch, my interest has been piqued. Great videos.
as a ksp veteran the clip of the spider spam made me physically recoil. thanks
what modpack adds this moon? 0:11
This is already in the stock game
If you wait a little bit before staging the next set of boosters in the atmosphere the rocket will be higher and have less drag which puts your fuel to better use, since drag increases exponentially with speed you want to be pretty slow in the thick air.
You have enough thrust with the solid fuel motors to do most of your acceleration in space to circularize your orbit, so no need to rush to gain speed when it’s less efficient in atmosphere.
18:00 What happened is likely a failure to inherit during initialization (or object creation). Your kerbal did not inherit the velocity from the vessel since it spawned after the vessel got destroyed, meaning it tried to look for a velocity that no longer existed. It probably also defaulted to putting you at 0 velocity relative to the planet.
This is possible because you are going so fast that the tick rate of the game causes you to essentially just teleport into the planet from the view point of someone watching the game per tick. Because the game was already in the process of deleting the craft on the same tick as you spawning your kerbal, when the kerbal went to check for the craft's velocity, it couldn't find the craft or its velocity.
A way to fix this would probably be soft deleting the vessel with a few ticks of immunity from being deleted, saving its variables like velocity before it's hard deleted. A vessel should not get deleted unless it goes out of range or smashes into something and has to be deleted from the perspective of the physics world/environment.
So you mark the object as being soft deleted until it is time to be hard deleted, and even from that information you could just not let a kerbal spawn from a soft deleted vessel.
So why is this still in the game? Because shitcode, don't worry about it, we are getting a KSP 2 with less technical debt. There are many ways this could have gone wrong that are fundamentally broken so it's understandable that it hasn't been fixed. It's also fun lol.
Modred Kerman will never see her family again but at least she made it to Dres
This is some crazy good space move action scene worthy content!!!😎
I can imagine this wont go well
Kinda
@@ReidCaptain Next vid: saving the kerbal stuck on dres with only rcs (rcs ports not engines)
His mannerisms and chaotic experimenting remind me of Nile Red
bro is gonna go interstellar on only srbs next
There will be some shenanigans
kerbal be like:
going on a space mission: panik
its a youtuber: kalm
its reid captain: PANIKKKK
damn. i thought that i had invented that technique of pushing the ship with the jetpack.
On your second launch you watch the boosters burn each other, and apparently learned nothing from that. When I build a stage that has a lot of separatrons and more than one row, I angled a separate turns on the upper stage out a little bit. It isn't a super efficient use of them, but it keeps them from overheating and exploding each other which is nice.
my brain at the start of the video: Dres? bro, you can't even orbit this thin...wa..wai...WAIT HOW...BRO, WHY? HOW? WH... ok. Understandable.
me cant do it with all parts: " he cant keep geting away with this
*multiplies number of engines by four*
"Three times the power"
Well now you need to rescue the kerbal
The orbit visibly changing like that caused me to spit my soda out.
homie has the exact same inflection as NileRed lol
Bradly Whistance would be proud about your lithobraking and the cheesy usage of the backpack
The cheesiness just made it more impressive how he did this.
Bros goated to that this game.
This may be the most cursed ksp video I’ve ever seen, and it is purely beautiful
4:05 get stickbugged
this guy sends rockets with the smallest engine to planets i didnt know existed while im struggling with mun
You should keep the theme of making weapons like in your previous few videos and make an ICBM in this game.
nice planet pack to add this "Dres" into the game
8:57 never heard that tone of voice before dayum
Every time this guy makes a plane it never has a vertical stabilizer and everything is in the wrong place relative to the center of mass
Personally,
I like using decouples themselves as the 'structure' for the separatrons.
Basically a ton of decouplers attached to each other, with these little SRBs on each one, each decoupler its own stage.
Also the decouplers themselves give you a slight boost to dv from the separation.
Maybe you could try firing the sepratrons on your kerbal in the opposite direction of thrust to cancel some velocity.
If you mean like positioning the Kerbal behind the rocket boosters and firing them, that wouldn't work because 1. It'd probably kill them, and 2. You can't stage stuff while on EVA.
@@1mariomaniac You would switch vessel to the ship, check out stratenblitzs 3part mission
Next challenge, landing on a astroid with only turbofans.
1. I wonder how a helical placement would have affected the number of engines you could attach without that symmetry trick.
2. Wouldn't delays between decoupling one stage and firing the next reduce the total amount of drag experienced on the way out of the atmosphere?
3. Ah, yes, lithobraking. The correct way to assert dominance just in case there are any lifeforms on the destination planet: wield the Kraken.
world's biggest launch escape system
I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that with a kerbal before. I take my hat off to you.
my idea for a challenge is that you rescue all of your left behind kerbals in this one engine series, with one megacraft, the challenge is that the landers that collect them has to use the same propulsion method as how they arrived at the planet
If it looks stupid, but works, then it's not stupid! Well done.
My man got to Dres with the smallest engine, but I can't even get to orbit around Kerbin 😭
Have you seen Stratzenblitz75’s Minmus on Decouplers video? His similarly extreme thrust and structure limitations were interesting but I appreciate your more difficult destination.
But how did he land on something that doesn't exist????
Wdym? It exists! Just like Tyler or p-Chan!
Do a rescue with the biggest engine
I am very simple:
I see Reid Captain, I click
watching your rocket building process generally infuriates me. im just screaming "NO NO NO YOU DUMMY!" in my head while watching this.
That's like making a car that runs solely on brake fluid
i mean it's technically possible
that big head fits really well
i like how the mission time was 239 years
Truely the Nile Red of KSP
Rest In Peace KSP1, you will be remembered
the craft is on the ground, the pilot is alive, a successful landing !
Casually getting frame perfect timing
Reid Captain murdering pcs, one at a time
This is my favorite type of comedy
I think you need to watch more Scott Manley videos, from the days when he did KSP. You really need to learn to use the components that are the lightest for the job, and those fuel tanks are not the lightest components you can use for this. One of the structural beams would be a lot better.
This is just one tiny optimization among hundreds that you could make to make this work better.
Well now you have to save them
This is actually broken, the crazy’s now have a way to land on moons without decelerating
my thought would be to have the bottom stages bigger than the top. the first stage has to push the weight of the entire thing, while the last one only has to move the capsule. that would also help with hypersonic disassembly of the top.
and now I have to continue with my 1700 t space shuttle
you used the manley maneuver! I'm proud of you! :D
anyone else happy he actually got to stand on that cool rock?
90% of the video i was just thinking “Yeah what’d you *think* was gonna happen”
Meanwhile me: Oooh dang I timewarped too much!
Challenge for KSP2 Interstellar; land on the moon with only crucibles
Wait, what are you landing on? Oh, the Mun.
Man has the most patience I've ever seen
are you gonna rescue the Kerbals stranded from these lauches?
14:45 When you use kerbal rcs to reduce your velocity looks so funny XD!
how many times has he said “p r e t t y much”
Dres is AWFULLY boring in KSP1, but in KSP2 it’s getting rings, and an equatorial mountain range, definitely one of the first places I’m visiting 😁
If you want a less boring dres in ksp if you like mods i'd reccomend techo's planet revamp,its pretty cool
Makes dres similar to ksp2's version and makes some of the other places in ksp1 slightly more interesting,though kerbin has way too many mountains
And i mean WAYYY TOO MANY
Also you might wanna go into the files and fix the descriptions being empty for a few of the bodies (duna,ike,and dres)
Now, make a working mech in ksp (mech should have a atleast a single amongus reference to annoy people)
I thought its a mod didn't know dres existed!
W for choosing dres , it keeps getting hate just because of how the ksp developers made it
KSP 2 has wings that can be streched in any direction and size, no need to make it out of large number of small wings...
Get to the moon with the smallest engine you can find
