- THIS GUIDE IS FOR AN OLD VERSION OF KSP.
"CAREER MODE" in this release is now "SCIENCE MODE" in the current release.
The Second part of my Career mode tutorial - unlocking some more science, learning about symmetry & balance and building a simple mission to send a kerbal into space for a few minutes.
New players, please do remember that when watching a Scott Manley video, you are not watching a tutorial, but an entire semester on astrophysics.
Naw, the stuff he explains is just a tiny fraction of all there is to understand on the subject.
OBP Super Gamer ...shut the fuck up.
xmattx8 Someone's mad
Not an entire semester, just a bit of the topic.
I've been playing KSP for awhile (100+ hours logged on Steam) and I understand most of how it works, but I find watching these tutorials helps me confirm my knowledge and perhaps learn a couple more tricks to building, launching and flying rockets.
Thanks so much for the time you put into all your videos Scott. I look forward to future episodes!
As you say "Fly Safe!"
I've invested almost 300 hours into KSP, yet I'm learning things from this, amazing job!
I really like this tutorial series. Almost as much as the Interstellar quest. Thanks for all the videos!
I'm impatiently waiting on episodes about efficiency and stuff. While i was able to deliver smaller crafts to orbits of Mun and Minmus and return, i can't seem to be able to operate large stuff. It took me five attempts to take a mobile processing lab to Kerbin's orbit at 270 km alt, and even then i've used 4 mainsail engines and 6 x200-64 fuel tanks. While i ended up having extra 600 units of fuel, which was probably enough to get this lab to the Mun, i'm definitely not satisfied with the result.
P.S. I'm really new to this game, as you peeps can probably tell, so please, don't call me an idiot for not knowing something that is trivial for you. Better call me a noob - that's legit :)
>deliver smaller crafts to orbits of Mun and Minmus and return
I wish I could return. Jeb is a permanent colonist of Mun.
DeformedBear
I didn't land. I just did a low orbit flybys and went home. I have yet to try landing and returning. I might fail miserably aswell.
Kevin J. Dildonik
Yeah, i've been trying that in sandbox mode. I didn't try to get the lab to the Mun, i've barely managed to get it to low orbit around Kerbin. I'm almost 100% sure that it's because my rocket is too bulky, that's why i mentioned efficiency. Bulky rockets of small diameter still fly fine, but larger ones are worse.
Another excellent video Scott! Keep the tutorials coming. Thanks from a novice Kerbal pilot!
I am so grateful that someone who understand physics made these vidoes! Keep up the good work!
Actually reaction wheels are gyroscopes and they are used in the ISS to keep it pointing towards the sun and it is a real thing
Loving the series brother! Been playing for a while now but it's still fun to get back to the basics every now and then.
Thanks for the great tutorials, enjoying them greatly. For new players who started career mode, it's goot to know that some options are not available until upgrading some buildings, which can take a lot of time. Like surface sample collecting shown in this video, or EVA in space.
I was having the same problems because I've acquired the game yesterday and some options he uses are not available until you research some facilities
Vinicius Vinhas
There is Science mode which is the same as this video so i would use that.
alvin galdamez I've found that after I've posted my comment :) Thanks for the advice anyway, ppl might have the same problem and your answer is the way to go!
Let me first thank you for the great videos you provide. I've been playing KSP for a little while now and have learned a lot about the game from you. One item I did figure out is you can roll the capsule off the pad to the grass and get science from the space center biome. I'm can only assume that you already know this but thought I would comment about it anyway. Thanks again for the great videos.
Awesome tutorial videos. I'm really getting into KSP now!
I've been playing this game for months and still feel like I'm learning new things.
If you followed it up to this point i found a way around the currency
Make sure in the second stage have R-10 Rocket. It will work just fine (yes the first engine you use at the part 1)
One way around having to worry if the experiments will be destroyed when landing is to do an EVA, provided you went into space of course, and take the data from the experiments and store them in the capsule. Handy for those times when you are not sure if the landing will be good or not.
Do you lose data or is it a benefit of bringing crew?
No data loss unless you are transmitting, this is more of an insurance type system. Also with the science lab you have to remove the data in order to clean out the experiments. So it is a benefit of having a crew, plus say a mission goes bad but the capsule and crew survive you can transfer those collected data items and move them to the rescue ship.
***** Ahhh thanks i didn't know that why would you ever not store experiments in the capsule if you had crew?
I honestly just started my career mode and didn't know that to be the case, and I also was not very good with the EVA controls. I am getting better though...although video evidence might not show it lol.
I did take a look at some of your vids their pretty good but could do with a bit more energy in your tone and i did have a play around with storing experiments and it all works well so thanks. ;D
Just thing to watch after finishing work.
I like the sinister implications of
"There are also trace amounts of a conspicuous green substance."
Reminds me of something GLaDOS once said:
"We do what we must (because we can) for he good of all of us (except the ones who are dead)."
I think I am starting to understand career mode now thanks to these vids. Might nervously make the step into it soon.
i have been playing ksp for like... 18 months now and i learnt something new today. also hearing Scott's teaching words is so sweet. i think it's cos he's a father.
I'd think it's because of his accent and normal voice. Not that he is a father!
Dion McGovern-Allen
i have seen a video with his son in it, also he has mentioned his children before. i have watched a lot of Scott Manley, Dion
I didn't mean that he isn't a father, rather you mention that his "teaching words is so sweet. I think it's cos he's a father"
This was what I meant. That his accent and normal voice is what makes him easy to listen to...
Dion McGovern-Allen
His accent makes him awesome, but having kids and playing ksp with them means he can phrase his words in a way that is easy to understand and learn from.
Thank you Scott for yet another great video! Right when I was about to go to bed! :D
Thanks for making these Scott!
This looks incredible.
Just two things to add here ( not to Scott, but to the intended viewers of the video):
1) A minor note on the time acceleration: you must be wary of the higher speeds when going in a orbit that crosses the atmosphere. It is not uncommon that the game forgets to decelerate when entering the atmosphere ... not good if you are returning from somewhere and need the atmosphere to slow you down :(
2) You can also get science from being in the KSC ( Kerbal Space center ) outside of the runway and of the launch pad ... it is not much , but you can probably get some pocket change there;without much of a hassle....
Great tutorial series so far!
I finally got to the mun and back today! yay! i bought the game 3 days ago so i dont understand why people say its so difficult...
For Money go to the mission control area and... well... do missions xD. I'm doing them to earn money. They added money to make the game last longer
A slightly more advanced engineering tactic to avoid excessive delays in engine staging is to pair the next stage's engine(s) with the decoupler that's below it. So it's only a single button press to get the next stage going.
awesome video looking forward to the next one!!!
I'm sure you know this by now, but the torque thing in the command pod is (not magic) flywheels that speed up and slow down, which can control the attitude (I used a big fancy space word) like a remote controlled gyroscope.
This series is AWESOME!!!
seriously!!! thank you man finally i understand how the game works!!!
Even though I've gone to every planet and done so many missions and have made my own scenarios.. I still enjoy seeing the videos. Is that a weird thing? Hahaha
Kinda weird there orlinnelson lol not really my daddy is far more strange
I just bought and installed the game on my imac via steam. The training parts of the game seems to be really bugged just now so this was very helpful :) Thanks.
oops i thought i placed this comment on part 1, havent seen part 2 yet, gonna go play the game a bit first :)
Great video you could go into teaching!
as that you are one of the most popular ksp youtuber id like a history from start of your ksp or youtube life....if you want :)
The best "opening move" I've come up with so far is building a rocket to get into a polar orbit around Kerbin and getting EVA reports from above each biome, plus crew reports from the pad, crew report from the lower atmosphere (on the way up), near space, upper atmosphere (on the way down), plus crew report, EVA report(s) and surface sample from wherever I land.
Some people go interplanetary and back in their first ever carrier mission getting like 7k science in 1 run lol
MultiGoban
I'd like to see that, especially given 0.23's revised mechanics (no more transmit spamming). I can believe interplanetary as it's not *that* hard, but I can't really see landing too many places to get surface samples etc.
Smidge204 Gotta love that explosive SRB staging.
Smidge204 you can't transmit on your first mission
MultiGoban No, you can. You start with the basic antenna, there's enough juice in the command pod for 1 transmit, and you can recharge with your rocket's alternator if you're not using a 909 engine.
now that scott has unlocked the stayputnik, I bet we're going to hear some space history, and maybe the first object to orbit kerbin successfully and re-enter.
The first two have been mentioned repeatedly, but there are actually 3 surface biomes around the KSC. The Launch Pad, Runway, and KSC itself.
Brilliant, magnificent, It helped me a lot!
well, made it to part 2. you really make me want to buy this game. I only have the demo! :)
I actually discovered the runway biome due to staging error. Due to incorrect stage order, my rocket came apart in midair, dropping the pod on the runway.
Thank you for doing this!
LISTEN UP PEOPLE!!! THIS IS THE MANLEY WAY ON HOW TO PLAY KSP!!!
No reason to shout, thanks.
Come on with part 3 already!!!! I know you have it done somewhere .... !
I can't wait anymore!
your so good at helping!
Im learning so muchthank you scott
'am ready for part 3!!! Throw me more knowledge!!!:P
i played this game and i could make a ship and i would fail at flying it and everyone was so much better then me, then i watched this and i was doing it all wrong, thank you so much.
Fantastic tutorials! You are a funny smart man! :D
Thanks your video's are amazing and helpful!!!
Wow, I am downright perplexed Scott didn't go for Electrics. That OX-STAT panel can be a real butt-saver.
You are really helpful I got the game today
could you make the series into a group of them on your channel so it is easier to find the episodes?
can't wait for part 3.
MC Hawking - What We Need More Of Is Science
dude this is super dooper helpful thanks
I just realised that there are four biomes in KSC. Runway, Shores, Launchpad and KSC. The KSC biome is on the VAB roof.
boss bro boss u teached me how to play this man boss!!
It does not reset you automatically to one every time... Lost a few ships that way.
Scott pleas can you do more of this videos;)
Thanks Scott Manley for this tutorials. Can you make an addendum for who would use FAR mod?
Watch this video, and you'll learn all about Kerbal Space Program.
Then watch some more Scott Manley videos, and you can Major in Astrophysics!
I would love to see a tutorial fir how to build rockets with Ferram aerospace research. I can't seem to make a stable rocket, they always flip and burn, no matter what I do. If anyone knows where a tutorial for FAR is already, would love to hear about it PLEASE!
I have already got to Duna, Jool and Eve, but I am still watching this, cause it remind me the old times...or I am just VERY bored :D
i'm an expert but i still like watching it. LOL
When i enter the orbit map, the orbit is white, not blue, and i cant add maneuvers.
How to manouver into space. Move, then stop, then turn, then go again. Don't try to turn while moving. I hope this helped.
arghhh 0.24 broke these tutorials freaking currency!!!
use the science mode -.-
peter müller ye i worked that out haha thanks not played ksp much so dident realise there were two different things now
np :D
PS: there is a discription ;)
it's quite easy to get currency: you just need to add as many parts to your craft as you can and you get almost dubble the currency back if you do a mission with it (like going into orbit and return safely)
Scott, quick, explanation on anti-gravitons and why they don't exist.
And if you have no clue on what I'm talking about, I don't blame you, they don't exist.
Your KSP videos are the best out there. It baffles me to see you have dislikes, but don't fret I will like your vids all day long.
Mr. Manley if you see this in one of your vids you were drinking a beer with George Washington on the can or bottle (I don't remember which). I can't seem to find that vid again and I would really like to know the name of that beer. Thanks. Also thanks for the great videos, your channel is one of my favorites.
Well, this is what I get for not looking deeper into the settings. I never knew there was a quick save button. xD
the runway is it's own biome, as well...think it came in with .23
thank you
my command pop just overheats when coming back to earth and blows up :(
+Neokin kyriacou try going into settings > difficulty options > re-entry heating and adjust it to 0%
+Excalibur21 Thats just cheating. Put a heat shield on it after researching survivavability.
well people can play the game how they like, i just provided an answer
Excalibur21 thanks made things alot easier for me :)
+Neokin kyriacou no problem!
btw i was so good at sandbox that i got into orbit around the sun in carrear mode before a complete mission to get orbit around kerbin
I have the game paused during this (AMAZING) Walkthrough, AND OH MY OH MY I AM SO NERVOUS I DON'T KNOW WHY.
thank you ever so much for help me
I love this series because id love to complete the science tree but im garbage at this game.
Scott , I looked at a space sim like Elite a few weeks ago that's in Alpha atm & playable, and I'm sure it wasn't an MMO...any chance you know of it and could jog my memory. Can't find it again for the life of me >.
Is there a tutorial which covers the training missions in game?
I cannot keep with the Flying section of that and really need a successful example.
Many thanks, Pilot Bruce
thnx man it helped me allot :D!
Im playing the demo now, and the hall time I'm laughing my ass of at myself, I probably have the most fails.
The launch pad biome is ridiculous.
I have question, when i am taking data from containter by my kerbal, i got all data to capsule (when i land i got 100% of science) or only some part of it? I am asking, because i want make my landing packs smaller. I am not losing data by it don't must land every time my ships but only "can" with science.
lol at 6:33 , he went for air at both clips
i had all the info still got it but unfortunitly my aircraft left earths orbit and now a poor kerbel has his own independant orbit around the sun for the rest of his life
I was in the same position and since I couldn't make any good spacecraft to explore Kerbin's biomes I just cheated and collect data just by orbiting around moons, without landing.
throttle up press t then space bar
you missed the most important bit the countdown from 5. . 4. .
i always do it! in my head ofcourse not out load im not mental
Hey Scott can you please help me?!? So I get into orbit and then when I try to go higher I shoot out super far away from Kerbin! This is when you said to take the crew report but we had to go to 300 km
I'm Scott Manley, Fl....(Next video)
Scott, I cannot complete this tutorial because my rocket experience wind( I guess?) at height of about 3000m and it just started to rotate. Everything else is the same. I don't why and i have the .9 version
when i built my 2 part rocket, in the first stage about 8000m up, it started to spin wildly out of control. do you know why?
what is the name off the video where you fly a helicopter with one wing and jet engines
Guys I need some urgent help:
My version is 0.90, I cannot earn science unless I transmit it.
I follow this tutorial and once I recover the vessel I earn nothing
When I transmit the data I get a very tiny amount of science
Pleeese help, I started to play 2 days ago, I already know how to control the rockets and all the basic but this "glitch" is preventing me from getting science and progressing on the tree.
Thanks!
ps: I never get science for recovering the vessel, I already collected samples and reports that should give more than 30 science but I got nothing!!!
Try reinstalling. Otherwise, it just went into beta. Report it to squad, and hopefully they can help you.
I also just started, career mode quests do not complete even if all green checkmarks. Try Science mode, and I cannot get more than 44.5 science, so I cannot unlock more science I need 45. Also I cannot orbit for some reason. The orbit dialogue never opens, and I run out of fuel.
How did you rotate with no flaps or wings, also what is the different between flaps and wings?
lol 2:20 i think the green substance was the remainder of the asparagus staging (LOL, ok ill shut up, ignore the joke) or Danny2462's weekends.
Probably just left over from Danny's holidays.
i got a question
if you go first person in the cm (command module) how do you get out of first person?
How to keep your kerbals from dieing jump out
press R and then hold shift for your lif you will bouce oddly
So is the reaction wheel in the capsule just unrealistic because it's ridiculoulsy strong compared to real reaction wheels or is there a more profound reason?
it's significantly stronger than it should be, and it breaks the law of conservation of energy. in a real reaction wheel you need an RCS system so you can spin the wheels up once their energy is depleted. otherwise the craft will spin around the wheels.
I'm really glad it's not realistic or KSP would be ten times harder, and I personally feel it is just challenging enough at this point.
OriginalTharios Not pointless, but yeah, pointless in atmosphere, and on big spacecrafts
Evan Blake
Totally agree. It's already easy to crash, explode, get stranded in space and whatnot. I'm sure there's a mod somewhere that makes the reaction wheels act in a realistic fashion, but that's not for me yet. It would be cool though if the full version some months from now included an option to toggle Realistic Mode when you started a new game and that option could add re-entry heat, life support, weaker reaction wheels, internal heat build-up etc.
Pile of carbon Yeah there are mods for all of these(except the last one I think), but I've heard somewhere that some of those features will indeed be on the final version.
You can toggle the fuel amount in VAB....ARGHHHHH! Been playing this game for how long and needed to do this an never knew...lol
No worries, the tweakables are new in .23.
My time acceleration doesn't work past 4 till im above 300,000?
