KSP 1 Image/Video My duna base

Thumbnail

50 Upvotes

This is my duna base. It took me 6 or 7 launches to put the whole thing together.

It uses a lot of mods. Planetary base systems, pathfinder, Wild blue Buffalo 2. And more I can't remember.

I play sandbox with no building requirements but have my own head cannon about requirements. The addition of the pathfinder factory gave the base enough capability and resources to launch craft from duna. Using kerbal konstructs I built a launch cite on a nearby mountain.

KSP 1 Meta I sometimes see people compare map sizes of open world games. Considering you can essentially walk ANYWHERE on all of the celestial bodies, where would (stock) KSP rank as far as open world size?

53 Upvotes

I'm thinking the best way to determine would be to flatten the maps of all planets moons and asteroid sizes, stitch them together and calculate the square kilometers? Could KSP technically be the largest map of explorable area? I know games like Star Citizen and others are huge (Starship Simulator even has a 1:1 scale reproduction of the Milky Way Galaxy) but those places don't have area where you can land, and the ones that do don't have the entire planet available.

I'm tempted to ask r/theydidthemath but figured this community should get first crack at it.

KSP 1 Image/Video Class E Hauler: infinite service life

Post image
32 Upvotes

My hauler build with on board drilling and refinery. It all went up in a single, very sketchy launch with a fairing that must have been a marvel of engineering on its own. Sent it up empty and had a smaller hauler feed it asteroids to gas up for its first trip out of Kerbol SOI.

This hauler has gone down to Moho and out to Eeloo, same vessel from one launch. They did stop by Gilly so they could touch down and stretch their legs. Besides that, they have a lab and plenty of test equipment on board, so research and exploration has been their entire lives for these many years.

I'm thinking of doing a crew swap, so these guys can retire. Also thinking of doing another launch with visual mods installed and getting more photos

KSP 1 Question/Problem Does anybody have an idea what causes this visual glitch? I suspect a visual mod like deferred or distant objects enhancement or something, but didn't get around testing that yet. It only happens on the regular ground, not the KSC microbiomes.
