This is so cool! Really opens up a lot of possibilities, especially with colonies on the moon, or Duna, or Laythe being able to build their own ships. Or being able to build a ship in orbit that doesn't have to be designed with atmospheric flight considered at all, purely for interplanetary travel, like the Discovery from 2001.
So with this launch pad mod, you could just put a launch pad on the launch pad, and (in career) build ships using the ore that is at the launch pad, and never spend money on another ship.
yes, and? You can become a self-sustaining space program that does not depend on subcontractors for raw materials and manufacture. Nothing wrong with that from a game balance perspective. However, these parts are fairly high up in the tech tree so you will have to play "the usual way" for quite a while before you can get it set up
Yup, thats the idea. Become self sustaining by mining asteroids and planets to build your ships. Set up an orbital construction facility of some kind and use it to build your vessels in space. Fill them up with fuel and send them on their way. Kinda cool since it's the natural progression of space programs. Launching everything off a planet is terribly inefficient. Even if we could build just the hull of a spacecraft in orbit we could make massive ships.
two words: fighter carriers but really, imagine a ship that could just print out robotic fighters, needing to be resupplied with fuel and rocket parts and other ship-y stuff
I swear we did this mod. Probably another "De ja vu" moment. Btw, I love that the interplanetary launchpad mod make it compatible with the new 1.0 ore system.
When I first heard reference of this mod it sounded like it would be super cheaty. but it dosent look that bad. It seems like it will fit in with the ground construction mod i picked up last week quite well.
I can't figure out how to set/change the spawn point location for the launchpads. The ships keep spawning inside my ship/base and it just all blows up... The stakes also don't show up on the launchpad menu...
My only gripe with this mod is that the majority of the models are ugly. I *do* consider this to be an essential mod, however. Along with Life Support, KIS, KAS, and HyperEdit
I'm starting a new career mode game after being away from this game for... years. Would really like to be able to get to a point where I'm building rockets on duna.
15:15 Just realised that SubAss on the Extraplanetary Launchpad 5.1.91: PRELAUNCH menu wasn't what I thought it was going to be. Thanks Kottabos for telling me what it means. (I thought it meant half an ass/arse)
ive seen alot of people who cant get the stakes to work and im one of them but no one seems to have the answer but i suggest to you all to get hyper edit then when your craft is stuck on the launchpad just open hyper edit alt+h>orbit edit>velocity>then select up and add like 5, this way the exhaust from your build doesn't blow up anything
I found that this is likely due to modulemanager, try deleting all of your mods, updating to the latest version and using CKAN to install your mods, it worked for me ;)
when i downloaded this mod and placed it in the game data folder, there is a new section added called "EL ITEMS" but even when i researched everything in the tech tree, nothing shows up. is there something am i doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
Would be nice if Kottabo could contact this Mod Creator , i have an awesome idea A build Roboter ;) build how large you like... the roboter will walk where it needs the part... so... its like a bot that drives like unlimited to X and Y... but limited Z .. where do you get fuel from!?!?! so: mine the fuel also
can you do a tutorial for this mod? i really need it, all other video tutorials only focus on one function, be it the orbital pads or ground base pads.
hey i downloaded this mod but parts like the orbital dock and the blue workshop are missing, I also can't actually build anything, the UI lets me chose a ship but it does not progress past 0%. any idea why that's happening?
How do I get productivity for creating these ships? I don't have no productivity at all and would like to get some. Little help plz. Btw the productivity is for building the ships themselves on those launchpads
Waaait so if you have enough parts you can make another rocket that has the factory and launchpad, for a trip to any planet when fueled and create another launchpad on said planet and repeat the process to make a base on any planet you can land on safely?
Shame on you for calling Jeb stupid. He is the best crash test pilot ever! Have you seen some of the things that he is expected to pilot? The willingness is second to none. He has fun, he is useful, he is handy. 😅
Anyone else had problems getting the recyclers to work on versions 1.0.x? Mine do not show any state on or off. Are there any known mods that conflict with this??? Google is not proving much of a help here. Edit: the orbital construction dock is also not showing a gui button even tho i have the toolbar mod installed and mod manager and everything.
Brandon Smith Freak80MC I think it's because I did OSE workshop which is similar but is specifically for building KAS/KIS parts rather then whole ships. I did that and then kinda forgot about this one
Hey i recently encountered a bug with this mod where the seats arent showing up on anything or storage only the words KSP-recall::attach on edit idk what this means but its basiclly bricked the mod if anyone could help me understand why its doing this
Hey, anyone able to help me with this mod? Every place I download it for, for KSP 1.0 or 1.0.2. I always have no Plugins folder. Older versions had it when I downloaded, with the KSPAIExtensions.dll and the Launchpad.dll inside it. Yet every place I've downloaded it doesn't have that plugins inside the gamedata folder. Especially crucial with Launchpads.dll plugin. Please!? I loved this mod in 0.25, but after 0.90 I have been missing those key plugins and it has crippled my interplanetary empire building ability.
I know how to use Kerbal Attachment Systems to do that. simply select the strut in the KAS UI and place it with your mouse. Does not know anything about Kerbal Inventory Systems.
+megaangryjoe Did you use the "EL Survey Station" under the utility tab? The survey stake site won't show on the construction dock, launch pad, etc. You need to specifically use the "EL Survey Station" part, and after you attach the stake to the ground with the mallet it should show up on the UI of the part.
You can make a spaceship capable of building spaceship-building spaceships.
I don't even--
EdgedPixel di-did I read that right?
Which is essentially what I'm trying to do right now with the mod.
Self-replicating space probes!
Nuts in science
Beaucoupzero made that.
5 years later , still helped a lot! thanks!
I have alot of stuff missing from mine
I can't find it
@Humbletrack Same here!
who needs KSP 2 when you have this
9y now
All this talk about metal is making me wanna headbang
AlterBridgeSaint a perfectly reasonable response I'd say
+KottabosGames why doesnt the stake show up in the UI?
S
Lol

Nope, can't manufacture stuff with metal and such.
There’s ore on the launch pad?
@@alexwang982 no
two words: fighter carriers
but really, imagine a ship that could just print out robotic fighters, needing to be resupplied with fuel and rocket parts and other ship-y stuff
my sincerest thanks for your video, i wouldn't have been able to make a base in minmus if it weren't for you. New subscriber!
Have you ever tried to recycle an asteroid? I'm very curious to see what would happen.
If there was a drinking game for every time very cool and useful in this video. So many would have died.
Thanks I've been waiting for this by you. I am so excited to play with this mod now!
I need this mod! :D I'm all about expanding into space, colonizing rather than just exploring. Setting up factories is a part of what I want to do.
Yes! Now i can finaly get into space without penetrating into the atmosp here :D
I swear we did this mod. Probably another "De ja vu" moment. Btw, I love that the interplanetary launchpad mod make it compatible with the new 1.0 ore system.
Unix Universe it is nice with the stock ore, one less mod to have to wait to update if things change lol
This video is.....
very fun, very useful, very handy!
A very useful mod for interstellar missions I would say.
Thanks for posting; very helpful.
With this you can go to the farthest planet with a craft that can go only to kerbin orbit with advanced fule conserving strategies
21:41 beautiful cycle of life
This video is very handy, very useful
Plz make a more updated video because I spent 4 hours trying to get it to work
When I first heard reference of this mod it sounded like it would be super cheaty. but it dosent look that bad. It seems like it will fit in with the ground construction mod i picked up last week quite well.
What happens when a ship with crew is fed into the recycler?
Joseph Adkins I honestly don't know, I've always emptied my crews out before recycling ... huh
***** last i checked they died and i think if you have modular kolonization they turn into biomass or mulch or something like that
Roman Candle well thats ... morbid, fair enough
im not sure if its true though
Roman Candle Koylent Green?
I can't figure out how to set/change the spawn point location for the launchpads. The ships keep spawning inside my ship/base and it just all blows up...
The stakes also don't show up on the launchpad menu...
10:42
This is what i was thinking, and it distracted me. _Can you put Kerbals in the bin?_
same
at the end of the video, I was wondering HOW he managed to run past the recycler without making the kerbal go in it.
@@shulongzhao same
Same
9 years later still helpfull i would hav died without a tutorial!!!!!
My only gripe with this mod is that the majority of the models are ugly.
I *do* consider this to be an essential mod, however. Along with Life Support, KIS, KAS, and HyperEdit
As Isaac Arthur said, "This isn't a beauty pageant it's a goddamn spaceship"
ScreenGames what video was that?
That's pretty much my reaction as well. The mod maker has a really good idea, but needs some assistance with texturing.
A nice alternative is the SimpleConstruction mod. It uses the same code, but applies the functionality to stock parts.
Rover pov: “FINALLY!! IM FREEEEE!!!”
**gets instantly consumed for scrap**
Im gonna make an entire KSC orbiting Kerbol, when I get a gaming PC 👍
I want it see it
combine this with the new B9 huge parts, and I see an orbital factory/construction ship coming on.
Curious, if you have a kerbal in a vehicle you put in the recycler does the Kerbal meet a rather gruesome end?
Yes lol
This mod is like playing through Galacticraft all over again.
Oh my word. Your are the best ksp gamer i have EVER seen. Keep up the good work!
Ethan Hommes wow if you think I'm the best ever you clearly haven't watched Scott Manely yet lol
I have seen him, although i think your WAY more fun to watch! xD. Btw you should really look at the BD Armoury mod
Ethan Hommes I have, ages ago. check out the playlist of KSP mods on my channel page
Ok thanks
very smart mod, but seems to be very difficult and time eater ^^
will give it a try through
Very good video, as usual.
Mark Landin Thanks, glad you enjoyed
***** hi man think ur best youtuber ;;) thanks for showing off thiz mods ples reply ? Any way u got a cupple new subs I showrd my frends your vids ;)
Will Cooper Thanks, and glad you enjoy the vids and shared them with friends
***** hay can u help me a sec
Will Cooper perhaps whats the issue
I have been using this mod since i learned how to get to the Mun like 2 years ago. maybe a little less but you get my point.
Make a play through with interstellar travel mods! That would be super cool.
i like how he says Kerbul Space Program
Very good, very useful- he said for the thousandth time
Drilling the launch pad...
Greatest saboteur
"Just load a recycler onto the front of a ship and scoop them up" HAHAAHA An interstellar garbage truck. rofl.
This sounds like a super mod.
"very useful, very handy" gotta love this guy
I'm starting a new career mode game after being away from this game for... years. Would really like to be able to get to a point where I'm building rockets on duna.
i dont have metal conversion option in furnace why?
15:15 Just realised that SubAss on the Extraplanetary Launchpad 5.1.91: PRELAUNCH menu wasn't what I thought it was going to be. Thanks Kottabos for telling me what it means.
(I thought it meant half an ass/arse)
The hex canisters look like flash grenades too me lol.
ive seen alot of people who cant get the stakes to work and im one of them but no one seems to have the answer but i suggest to you all to get hyper edit then when your craft is stuck on the launchpad just open hyper edit alt+h>orbit edit>velocity>then select up and add like 5, this way the exhaust from your build doesn't blow up anything
The small, The medium... and the... tiny?
Did someone count how many Times he said "Very handy, very useful"?
When your kerbal gets sucked into the recycler
My time Has come
When I click "Build" it's stuck on 0% and 0s. I have the correct amount of rocket parts and everything is functioning properly
Same, please tell me if you have a solution :)
maybe the mod is outdated.
I found that this is likely due to modulemanager, try deleting all of your mods, updating to the latest version and using CKAN to install your mods, it worked for me ;)
can someone send me an actual link with download for Module manager?
Build the rover, fill the resources, release to make it an independent body aaaaand it's gone! hahaha
This guy has a great voice.
SEARCHED FOR THIS BEST MOD EVER NOW I FOUND IT!!!!!!
21:43 great job
now I want to get this, and throw Kerbals in the recycler
Very good, very useful, very nice
when i downloaded this mod and placed it in the game data folder, there is a new section added called "EL ITEMS" but even when i researched everything in the tech tree, nothing shows up. is there something am i doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
dear sweet jebediah got a thumbs up from me lol
Would be nice if Kottabo could contact this Mod Creator , i have an awesome idea
A build Roboter ;) build how large you like... the roboter will walk where it needs the part...
so... its like a bot that drives like unlimited to X and Y... but limited Z ..
where do you get fuel from!?!?! so: mine the fuel also
Tiny note, "Taniwha" is pronounced "Tanifaa". It is the name of a Maori mythical water monster, and in Maori words, a wh is pronounced as an F.
Who did you nOOOte?
what if ur on a rover then you got sucked up?
In the new update, theres 'Efficiency" How do I get it up? its very slow now, 78 days and still not enough metal to build anything
can you do a tutorial for this mod? i really need it, all other video tutorials only focus on one function, be it the orbital pads or ground base pads.
question when the big blue thing eats a ship will it also eat the fuel in it so I can use it later ?
I can not get stakes to work. I get them in the ground with malet but it does not show as a place to build. What am I missing?
hey i downloaded this mod but parts like the orbital dock and the blue workshop are missing, I also can't actually build anything, the UI lets me chose a ship but it does not progress past 0%. any idea why that's happening?
How do I get productivity for creating these ships? I don't have no productivity at all and would like to get some. Little help plz. Btw the productivity is for building the ships themselves on those launchpads
Playing ksp on 3X scale I know using this mod will help me a huge amount, a base on minmus would save me nearly 4500 M/s just for orbit
can you recycle kerbals? if yes, what does it give?
I have to say that I am a kerbal engineer and you can mine with out kerbal inventory system
idea for this mod what about a orbital launch pad.
Did u watch the video lol there is one
I cant find stake in the VAB
I've done everything exactly as shown. My timer won't change from 0..
my construction workshop showing productivity 0 i dont know why i have everything set up properly
+Rajeev Sinha Same here. I have 5 guys with almost no stupidity and it is showing zero. If you work it out please let me know :)
can you do a biodomes mod showing?I need help working it out.
Waaait so if you have enough parts you can make another rocket that has the factory and launchpad, for a trip to any planet when fueled and create another launchpad on said planet and repeat the process to make a base on any planet you can land on safely?
Y'all know what happened to this mod? I feel like it disappeared off the face of the Earth.
-no 1.0.5 compability?-
edit: already updated 1.0.5
+Qbek Looking at my CKAN window, it says max version 1.0.5 so it does have support.
Oh! Looks like they just recently updated! It was not, when I've written that.
*Jawdrops* Eat my shorts Kottabos...
Very useful
Very handy lol
I agree
Shame on you for calling Jeb stupid. He is the best crash test pilot ever! Have you seen some of the things that he is expected to pilot? The willingness is second to none. He has fun, he is useful, he is handy. 😅
Idk why but it doesn’t work for me I had all the mods needed for it
Anyone else had problems getting the recyclers to work on versions 1.0.x? Mine do not show any state on or off. Are there any known mods that conflict with this??? Google is not proving much of a help here.
Edit: the orbital construction dock is also not showing a gui button even tho i have the toolbar mod installed and mod manager and everything.
Every time I look for Module Manager I cant find it or it wont have a download button, can someone please send me a link please?
I thought he did this too...
Brandon Smith Me too. Like, when I saw this in my subs box I was thinking "Oh, he must be redoing this mod video."
Brandon Smith Freak80MC I think it's because I did OSE workshop which is similar but is specifically for building KAS/KIS parts rather then whole ships. I did that and then kinda forgot about this one
***** I think why i thought you did this before is, i must have watched a video for this mod then went straight to one of your videos.
is there a way to pick the stakes up once you have places them?
Hey i recently encountered a bug with this mod where the seats arent showing up on anything or storage only the words KSP-recall::attach on edit idk what this means but its basiclly bricked the mod if anyone could help me understand why its doing this
Did you kave the kas mod installed?
Emanuel Sigvardsson yup
+KottabosGames how i think its not updated
Emanuel Sigvardsson it isn't yet but the parts still work as KIS has been updated and they function the same, but it's just a little buggy.
***** Now it is FINALLY updated tho.
ps. sry for my english im swedish
I make bases where its both metal and regular ore rich
very interessing!
soylent green is illegal. do not put kerbals in shredder
do you have the link for Download for the version 1.0.0 of the mod ?
Hey, anyone able to help me with this mod?
Every place I download it for, for KSP 1.0 or 1.0.2. I always have no Plugins folder.
Older versions had it when I downloaded, with the KSPAIExtensions.dll and the Launchpad.dll inside it.
Yet every place I've downloaded it doesn't have that plugins inside the gamedata folder. Especially crucial with Launchpads.dll plugin.
Please!?
I loved this mod in 0.25, but after 0.90 I have been missing those key plugins and it has crippled my interplanetary empire building ability.
Kal'sik Herensk You don't put mods in the plugins folder anymore. You put them in the Game Data folder.
i havent really been following up on ksp for a while now but did you say that ksp updates have made mods like the kethane mod obsolete?
also with the kerbal inv system can I add stuts onto a rocket in orbit and how do i do it ?
I know how to use Kerbal Attachment Systems to do that. simply select the strut in the KAS UI and place it with your mouse. Does not know anything about Kerbal Inventory Systems.
for some reason when i drop, or even attach, teh survey stake it wont show up in the ui. why?
+megaangryjoe
Did you use the "EL Survey Station" under the utility tab? The survey stake site won't show on the construction dock, launch pad, etc. You need to specifically use the "EL Survey Station" part, and after you attach the stake to the ground with the mallet it should show up on the UI of the part.
RainingBullets thanks this worked :D
What's a subassembly? ( I'm a begginer at KSP.)
channel 111 thanks
Yes
cool vid
It's said "Tani *f* a"
Is there any way to use the stock drills to mine MetalOre?
+Eashaan Katiyar Did you take a picture of your screen to get that profile pic?
