For your super long/thin rockets, you can right click on parts and autostrut them. This essentially fixes them relative to each other, stopping the flaccidity. The option may only appear if you allow for 'advanced tweakables' in the options menu.
I agree, as much as I love his other videos, I dont find an actual engineer trying to launch unstable noodles into space over and over that entertaining,

Rocket: please father, you brought me into the world as a noodle, end my abominable existence RCE: yea so I think the problem is that there isn’t enough rcs thrusters Never change Matt.
With your SAS on, the circles that show up to the left of the nav ball, you want radial out selected at launch, prograde after gravity turn(once you're past the air pressure that makes you wiggle apart).
At 5:15 the thing you though was weight is price, the mod called tweak scale changes the scale of parts this includes capacity, thrust, price and weight
Did you know nasa uses this to decide if an idea is viable or not? Its close enough that nasa plays it (not in off time) enough that you may hear "it worked in kerbal" if you get a tour.
Think of it like a string, if you push it up from the bottom it will bend, but if you grab it from the top you can pull it up and it will not bend as much. Love your videos ❤️
The day you're actually gonna play this game is gonna be a beautiful day. And i think it would give some awesome content too. The explosions come naturally in this game. You don't have to build weird stuff to have everything explode. But once you get a bit better you can make the craziest vehicles in this game. It's not all about rockets.
alt+left click is duplicate part you are clicking on, Z is full power, X is zero power. R is RCS, T is SAS. its better to press R, T and Z really quickly rather than having to press the rcs and SAS and wait for the power to reach 100%. great vid as always though, a right laugh xD
oh ff..... Remember Triangles !!! you're trying to launch a hang bridge into space, without triangles. *groan* (and yes,, I realize you'd groan at my bridges ;) Edit : yay space bridges !!!!
"We're gonna something a bit more sensible now..." Like making the rocket about 80% shorter? "Like... an engine the right size." Better idea. Try installing Kerbal Joint Reinforcement Continued. If all else fails, that mod will force a metre-thick solid osmium shaft into the rocket. That WILL help.
As always, awesome vid. Could you do some Polish bridges? Maybe Pilchowice railway Bridge, Świętokrzyski Bridge or Bronisław Malinowski Bridge? These are all some fine bridges.
Today I built a twin fuselage small carrier plane that is launched by a wheeled rocket-powered launcher. This launcher works, but the top mounted rocket in the middle of the center airfoil does not really harmonize with the small carrier plane. Pushes it upwards and things get uncontrollable. But I built a greach launing system that keep everything on the runway and did not even require any redesigns. I just improvised it to my build.
Control node is at one end, controlled bits on the other end. ... put a probe core near the thrust end, and use that to control with. It will go up more reliable, but it will wobble all over as it is not structurally stabilized.
I've watched some KSP in the past, and have nearly a decade in road construction so I figured I'd be 5% decent at playing it myself, my results are fairly consistent with yours. "Abysmal failure with a glint of hope"
Just use CTRL+Z when placing allot of the same parts but if you do it whit big parts / parts connected to other parts it might crash the game. And you can also get to full thrust by pressing Z instead of holding shift.
you can click the orange thing on the side of the screen that has your stages, and it will pop out and give you a bunch of info for that stage (it also assumes that all fuel the previous stages can use have used them). that will tell you your TWR (thrust to weight ratio) which will help you get off the ground.
Never heard of autostrusts? On the right of the symmetry button, there is the button to ensure your side boosters won't be put anywhere at random but fixed on axis and locked in the rocket's center axis.
go into the settings and turn on "advanced tweakables". Then when you are in the VAB you can right click on a part and select "autostrut". This will probably stop the wobbling if you turn it on for most of the parts.
Protip: If you want to build big, use less, larger fuel tanks (pretty sure there's one twice the length of the ones on the noodle) and brace it with struts on the lower stages to keep it rigid if needed. KSP very much fits the real world 'simple is reliable' aspect.
Yes there is a copy and paste function, use [ALT] to duplicate pieces. Then alt placing requires that you be on a node so just release alt when you have gotten what you want
You need SAS and RCS activated at same time to do what you are doing, for RCS to work (the little thrusters) u need to put SAS on as well. That number in bottom left is cost but it doesn’t matter bc ur in sandbox. Also put the majority of the engines at top for it to correct itself, adding more to bottom will make it worse
I know I'm a bit late but the reason the RCS wasn't working is because it doesn't account for different parts of the rocket being at different angles, it just assumes that everything is pointing in the same direction of the pod
Hey rce! Wondering if you've heard of the Vizcaya Bridge in Bilbao. It's like a giant cable car, "floating" above the water. I can only imagine it looking really cool in poly bridge! Best regards, Emil :)
the number in the bottom left when you build a rocket is the amount of money it will cost to launch the rocket not the weight you can see it matches the symbol for money but in red instead of green. in case you still don't know :P good videos!
So your rocket is trying to control from the capsule at the top, and SAS is confused because the bottom quickly doesn’t line up with the top. Try putting a docking port on the very bottom of the rocket, then right clicking it and hitting “control from here”. That should fix it
Sorry for the negitive(ish) comment, but PLEASE watch a tutorial!!!! If you learn just a few basic options that exist in KSP, you could make nearly all of what you've been trying to make work! I love your channel but I find this video hard to watch due to all of the fairly simple solutions being missed. So, just please watch a tutorial or something! I look forward to what you'll make in the future (that hopefully doesn't immediately explode on launch!)
Pretty sure those vernor rcs thrusters are for space as fins don’t work without an atmosphere. I’m sure you could get it to work using fins instead running the length of the fuel pods... I don’t know if the game mechanics would support that theory or not lol. Anyway, enjoyable as always!
You should check out Prison Architect and possibly Airport CEO. I think they're right up your ally and it would be a great way for you to live out that childhood dream of being an architect while also roasting architects. Besides who else is going to make a prison in the shape of a knob.
This is why there are aerospace engineers and civil engineers.
Some call them aerospace engineers others call them uncivil engineers.
This is so painful to watch, if he wants it not to be flaccid, he should put thrust force at the top...

If you press “Z” it will automatically toss thrust to 100, pressing “X” will drop it to zero. “T” turns on your SAS

When your rocket's a noodle, SAS is actually counterproductive since the thrust vector is misaligned with the steering vector.
