@@cranjusmcbasketball2052 That's a valid argument, but Jupiter's moon Callisto has a surface made from ice and rock and an extremely think atmosphere. If I had to choose a direct counterpart I would say that Callisto is Vall's closest counterpart.
Pro tip: when making stations or bases that require in orbit docking I use two Jr. docking ports instead of a regular one so it's always perfectly aligned
Antonaros I tried that but it didn’t want to work for me. I’m in the process of making a mod that adds alignment teeth to docking ports, so hopefully that’ll work. I’m gonna call it Docking Port Overhaul or something
Thanks for the design. I took the basics of this and made some modifications here and there. These included a docking port on top of the towers to land another ship onto for refuelling, a docking port on the underside of the central tower to be able to swap out the rocket and the monoprollent tanks on the arms and the fuel towers withe parachutes on them are fixed so i can keep them without risking ejection to be used as an initial refuelling stock. I also have a 3rd rocket setup for attaching 10m heat shields to the underside of the 4 outer modules when i send this thing to places like eve.
I almost screamed when you flipped the base over. 😱 That's usually when everything falls apart for me. Literally. 💥 I'm happy I got my Mun and Minmus bases down in one piece. Minmus Base even has piston legs to counter the slopes. 😎
Happy New Year! I love KSP and play almost every day. Love watching videos like this. One small problem: This is the last year of the Teens decade. The new decade begins on Jan, 1, 2021!
You should make a ship with a lander that can go on flying forever, just slap a drill on the front and mine asteroids to refuel when you need to. In theory, you never have to stop flying and can land on every body you want
How about skip laythe, tylo and eve since they severely influence the design and would make it overpowered for any other landing and would also make it have an insane part count
As much as I love your channel there is something that you said that wasn’t true, there actually is a laythe counterpart which is one of the moons of Saturn Titan. From the images of the JWST telescope scientists were able to identify a large desert, methane lakes, oceans, a south and North Pole, changing weather seasons, clouds and a thick atmosphere. There are also a few moons of Saturn with thick ice covered oceans that could have life. Also great video!
I've been really enjoying all your vids for KSP! I sort of watched this series a bit out of order, but you make a note about the limitations of the static mining bases in the Duna mobile base Rover vid of yours. Could you have kept the aerospike engines on the base and just refueled them with the fuel you produce to allow you to move the base around to other ore nodes on Duna? Not sure how the fuel production and refueling works just yet but it was a thought i had while watching this video. Keep up the awesome work! You make all of this look so easy! haha
Didn't know docking ports could withstand the pressures of reentry, I have trouble with them going kraken when connecting multi-stage ships. Great job as always Matt!
I highly recommend the mod "dock rotate" for this exact reason. It simply allows docking ports to spin like a rotor when docked to another port. It's not so useful if you have breaking ground, but you can use it to perfectly align space station / base parts when assembling them. And it doesn't add any new parts, so if you uninstall the mod all of your crafts will be fine.
Yo Matt, you should definitely try out some planet packs, it'd be awesome to see you boss through a different solar system! Love the videos btw keep them coming
My favorite part about this video is I was doing my own thing and not really listening to the video and heard off hand "we need ascape pods incase the kerbals contract Space Ebola" after that oh boy I was listening
I think something that could work, for small bases like this, is put servos behind each docking port. then you can turn it where you want then lock the servo to try and hold it in place. not sure if it would really work but it might
My theory is that the kerbal star is actually either a red dwarf or a orange dwarf star, and that all the planets inhabit the star's habitable zone. Giving Laythe the ability to have very similar living conditions to Kerbin.
i feel like what I would have (will do) Is launch the base all at once into orbit, then dock a trasfer vehicle to the base, then just launch it on a course to Duna. Saves me the head ache of fine tuning everything honestly :p
"oxygen and water could not exist that far from the sun". Hypothetically it could depending on the mass of the gas giant, its proximity to it's moons and their mass. At least that's what universe sandbox says. Love your videos.
How about to save fuel and to save the space whales make a space ship with the kerbels which goes to Duna but doesn't land at Duna, just brush the atmosphere and drop the kerbels in some kind of suicide pod then heads home. (Think ODST from Halo). Loving the videos
Laythe's counterpart is Titan or Europa, one of the many moons of Jupiter. Yes, it's so far from the sun that the water cannot exist in a liquid state, BUT! due to the gravitational shifting of it orbiting around Jupiter and the sun, the water near the core is constantly in movement, generating a little bit of heat, which keeps it in a liquid state. :D
All of that verticle base stuff can be fixed with the planetary bases mod. I have found it to be very useful when building surface bases. Although I know you like using only stock parts so that might not be something you would use.
The second rocket.... I was thinking to myself, how the hell is it gonna work but then Matt... makes it work... thinking outside the box or (inside the fairing).
at the start of the video - static bases are fueling bases (sort of). you didnt even add a docking port for the extra ships to refuel, or a means of gathering the new fuel.
Are there versions of those videos where I can watch the whole building process, not the timelapses? I find your buildings very interesting and i would love to see how exactly do you manage to do them. :)
Titan is thought to have liquid water oceans under a very big ice crust. It stays liquid due to the churn caused by Saturn's large gravitational forces. In my mind laythe is a titan analog :)
I have an idea to make the next ksp vid, start building a super big space station, and when you will dock the last part, the part hit the station to fast and deorbit the station, with the reentry effects and the destruction fx
Well another approach for this kind of base its to have a big pile of pieces, connectors and a rover, send them to Duna and after landing put the station together using the rover/rovers. i would like to see that or at least how you struggle doing it :)
Some of those fairing pieces have to be stuck in orbit, right? Even if you were sub orbital when you detached, I have to imagine that one or two little bits got enough prograde acceleration to get into LKO. Or am I missing something?
I'd like to see a few satallite bases around Eve and Eeloo maybe call the series "From window to the Wall" lol. edit: at 22 you talked about banishment, Eeloo makes for the perfect punishment planet since it's so far away it makes for an amazing penal colony. As for Eve... I dunno I just like the purple landscape.
okay I have a completely CRAZY idea!! what if you sent up 2 identical rockets, set them up facing each other, and have a jousting match, and whichever rocket looks the best/has the most parts wins!!. btw happy 2020!:)

Hey matt love the vids, how excited are you for KSP 2, the colony builder seems so good.
I'd really appreciate docking port angle snapping in vanilla, every 15 deg or something.
Or attach them to a rotor or servo

My theory is that the kerbal star is actually either a red dwarf or a orange dwarf star, and that all the planets inhabit the star's habitable zone. Giving Laythe the ability to have very similar living conditions to Kerbin.
So your saying every planet in the game is in the habitable zone? If yes then Dunas ice would become liquid water maybe
@@CASA-dy4vs This is a comment I said a year ago. I don't know what mental gymnastics I had to reach that conclusion, but it has to be dead wrong.

I'm watching this video as I am slowly falling back down to Kerbin (1.5 ms speed wise), and this is for testing some parachutes and drogue chutes.
if we have Life on Laythe?
We now have Demise on Duna?
Hmm, that sounds catchy.
Laythe's counterpart is Titan or Europa, one of the many moons of Jupiter. Yes, it's so far from the sun that the water cannot exist in a liquid state, BUT! due to the gravitational shifting of it orbiting around Jupiter and the sun, the water near the core is constantly in movement, generating a little bit of heat, which keeps it in a liquid state. :D

The Counter Part of laythe is Europa, Europa does have water on in, although it is under the insanely thick ice
All of that verticle base stuff can be fixed with the planetary bases mod. I have found it to be very useful when building surface bases. Although I know you like using only stock parts so that might not be something you would use.

at the start of the video - static bases are fueling bases (sort of). you didnt even add a docking port for the extra ships to refuel, or a means of gathering the new fuel.
you also inspired pretty much ALL of my ksp builds
Matt do you know how to fix the no control error message for rockets? Thanks. I need to rescue two kerbals, but it won't let me launch.
Are there versions of those videos where I can watch the whole building process, not the timelapses? I find your buildings very interesting and i would love to see how exactly do you manage to do them. :)
Matt: lets send a base on duna
Me : *cant even land on mun* .please dont give me hope
Nope
you'll get there! if you need any help feel free to ask me i willl share my discord
I like to visit Minmus first. Slightly more tricky to get there but much easier to land due to lower gravity.
I think I made a mistake by going to the Mun first
And I don't think playing on Xbox helped
Saturn’s moon Enceladus has liquid water underneath its frozen surface. The made laythe like this moon
matt i love ksp and duna but plz do life on laythe when laythe gets revamped but ksp is still and will always be the best game!!!!!
Titan is thought to have liquid water oceans under a very big ice crust. It stays liquid due to the churn caused by Saturn's large gravitational forces. In my mind laythe is a titan analog :)

why didnt you just point the centre at normal and then have a drone core at the top of each module and point that at normal?
You could also try to use those inflatable docking ports to save space
You can just offset the parts attached to either side of the hinge to make it flush.
you should probably add this video to the destination duna playlist

I play spaceflight simulator (sfs), which is pretty much a simpler, 2D version of ksp, you should try it out! You might need a mobile emulator tho.
I just wanted to ask a question because i can't figure it out.
HOW, HOW do you stage properly with creations?
I'd use surface bases to label easter eggs and other POI's.
So I can set them as target.
