Building a 1 Million Ton Rocket | Stock/DLC KSP 1.11.2 

In short, you have bought a new CPU and taught it to fear you.

This is a very creative way for a whole city block to evade taxes

The issue with the grass isn't that it isn't perfectly flat, it's that the rocket is so long the planet was literally curving generating a bulge to destroy the outer edges of the rocket.

I'm glad that we are finally able to understand the science of ksp lag. I can think of a few plane builders who could really use this ;)

I would love to see what happens when you turn it 90 degrees and the bottom part in orbit slightly touches the atmosphere while the top part is still in space. It should start to flip very slowly. while also the rotation would be towards the direction of the orbit, which means it could be just right, that the rotation euqlas out with the rotation around Kerbin...but I dont know.

When Stratenblitz starts drawing graphs of frame rate versus part count, you know he's about to show you powers that cannot be learned from a Jedi.

Pretty sure that staging event at 18:00 constituted a war crime...

Remember when this used to be a voiceless channel about challenge ideas in KSP. Now it's Challenge Ideas while disassembling KSP on a technical level. Love it even more

I think this goes to show how important procedurally scalable parts are, being able to use a single large tank of arbitrary size is a lot more efficient than many smaller ones

glad to see that $50k PhD is paying for itself already

19:23 How to induce kessler syndrome with this one simple trick!

The excitement I felt when I saw stratzenblitz I just started the video, so no original comment

This video: Exists My computer: *nervous sweating*

My computer would murder me if I attempted this...

Stratenblitz then: Look, with 3 parts i went to eeloo and back Stratenblitz now: sit down son, we're gonna have serious hardware discussion.

I think that Matt had a stroke when he saw all that debris. Either that or he drank a bottle of whiskey. 🥃

The worlds heaviest harmonica

Child: Can we have Gamers Nexus? Mom: No, we have Gamers Nexus at home. Gamers Nexus at home:

I'm always happy to see a fellow pc nerd.

This is deeply satisfying in the same way turning a 1 hour long python script into a minute long one is.

Got any lag complaints? Write them on a piece of paper, and tuck it in between the wall of boosters.

Now you gotta actually put 2 Komodo's into orbit

The fact that KSP 2 WON'T have multicore suport is criminal

Look at the size if this lad *ABSOLUTE UNIT*

KSP+pc hardware=me super exited

I wonder if the KSP devs can do something with this information, at least for the sequel.

It makes sense that cross-feeding the fuel would decrease performance with x^2 parabolic curve rather than a linear one. If each engine is accessing each fuel tank then the effective interactions per part are engines * fuel tanks, instead of just engines + fuel tanks. Though I am surprised that the direct-feed was so linear, as presumably, each section interacts with every other surrounding section and through them the next section, increasing the total number of interactions in a sum(n) from 0 to n function, which is also a parabola and not linear.

Starblitz Me: I wish he would upload again New Me: *Happy noises*

Is this sponsored by AMD? 😂

This rocket: "Hey friction, can ya just step out for a sec?" Friction: "Aight, Imma head out"

Stratzenblitz: Just quicksave and quickload! Elon Musk: write that down, write that down!

Thank you for putting so much love into these videos. I love these videos so much!

Oh god His performance with his komodo is my usual frame rate

Personally the most interesting part of this video is the discovery that fuel crossflow causes so much of the lag associated with larger ships. I wonder how those calculations are being handled to cause that much lag and if there's an easy fix to it, or a fix at all

My god...it’s full of boosters. Lovely piece of work! I never got really deep into KSP because I’m not imaginative enough, so I enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!

I honestly think I love you, or at least might have a crazy fan obsession. The intelligence + vibe of every video is off the charts. I would love to meet you one day, as I'm absolutely enthralled with every pico-second of every single one of your videos. As always and every time, thank you so much! Edit the notification I just got for a privatized video is such a tease! haha can't wait for it!

OH NO THIS IS WHAT HE WAS WORKING ON THESE 3 MONTHS

as I started watching this video, I was thinking "hmm, wonder how much better KSP would be with large crafts, going from my old intel 3700k to my new amd 5950x" and then you actually go ahead and do this for me. thanks for saving me the trouble bro!

I was just watching your 10k special when I realised you reached 100k. Congrats!

Your ksp videos are so super engaging, love it!

Rip computer you will be missed

Now THAT, THAT is a thumbnail.

Amazing video as always! Keep up the great content and hopefully you can get to 100k!

i'm in awe of every single one of your videos

I can HEAR Steve Burke pulling out his hair in the background about "NOT ENOUGH GRAPHS"

3:15 dude's talking about in game parts' full names like he's got a sponsorship deal from kerbodyne.

Your narration is excellent. I can hear the pure glee.

You are by far the greatest KSP engineer of all time. Your cinematography is the best out there too. My jaw never fails to drop watching your videos

Stratz you madman. I'm now expecting a "toolbox throw to Duna" as per our conversation on Discord. Edit: Also, my respect for Knight of St John has increased substantially, which I didn't think was even possible after that river run.

But there are no megastructures bigger than the love your patrons have for you. (Maybe when I join them I'll be a part of that club)

Every singe time you upload, you surprise me. Great job!

This new format is really interesting, man. Love the science behind KSP!

Omg, he's unleashed ! ^^

Have we gonna found a way to attack the kraken?

amazing video man. i love computers and ksp, you found a fascinating way to merge both!

your videos are amazing, i cant imagine waiting 5+ seconds for one frame for HOURS mad respect

Launching the rockets at 15:58 This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years...

Nice you got NovaSilisko on board! OG dev team represent ;-)

Hatsoff to you for being patient and not letting it be a requirement for the viewer.

These videos are always worth the wait

Rip to all the Kerbals on Kerbins surface, they are going to suffer another mass extinction worst than that giant crater sea...

"apparently building megastructures in KSP can be fun" my last words

Congrats on 100k!

I still remember finding you at 750 subs, and i have fi ally returned to the game after 5 years to find you are still pushing the limit of this game. bravo

Next: 1 Megaton payload Oh boy, the computer will love this.

Actually, I am curious what performance increases could be had by having multiple "smaller" rockets (say *Only* 500-1000 parts or so), and just having A LOT of those. If I remember correctly, KSP doesn't really have a system for splitting a single craft across multiple processing threads, effectively throttling the performance on a multicore/thread CPU. Combine this with the fact the CPU you used has 24 of these threads, and it might be possible to have significantly more performance available, even if only exploitable across a fleet of craft in physics range.

I hope KSP2 devs are watching. Building big is fun, but low frame rate detracts from that fun. Anything that can improve performance, like fixing fuel flow logic, is a huge win for everyone who dreams big.

100k subs!!!!! Congratulations!

hello stratz, what we doing today, chaos, okay then.

Hey Bro, you are awesome! I'm new at KSP and I tryed to play the training but it didn't helped me. Can you pls do some Tutorials?

I was watching your old videos and then I realized you were probably going to upload soon and wow, only like 1 day after I watched you last video and hoped for a new video!

You had no idea how happy i was when i saw the youtube notification that you uploaded

If NASA or SpaceX experience lag, we know what rocket we're going to use.

Did you do any tests of the fuel lines? It looked quadratic, which suggests that the problem is that every engine was querying every fuel tank it has access to. Fuel lines might behave differently. Makes you wonder if there is any smart abstraction or caching at all, or whether it queries the entire construction tree until it hits something it cannot pass fuel through every frame*. That would suggest to always put as few parts as possible on engine sections, and separate using parts that cannot transfer fuel. *Oh god, it gets worse. That stuttering looks like the garbage collector, suggesting that the engines are building a list of tanks to drain from, and discarding it, every frame. If you have 500 engines connected to 2000 fuel tanks that means 1 million allocations per frame from this alone. I used to think programming games was hard, because I would look at a problem like this and reject the first solution I came up with, based on it being moronic. Now I know better.

I came here to see the giant rocket and stayed for the interesting dive into KSP performance, very interesting!

Welcome back to RU-vid your videos are awesome

Do a flip!

Amazing content! You outdid yourself with this one

i literally could not be more grateful that you showed stage 2 reentering

This is a wonderful way to teach time complexity in CS

patience IS a virtue, this video would not be without it! also the knowledge of "what" make the game lag can benefit a lot of us on how to optimize, like making our own tanks with more fuel to reduce crossfeed and not just part count!

The ksp genius is back with an amazing video🚀🚀🚀

That first stage segments colliding with each other, and spreading in the far back was a beautiful view. 17:46

I was looking for KSP benchmarks when I bought my 5900x back in December, coming from an 6700k and I was curious how much of a performance boost it would be. Cool video !

I loved how you wrote stuff on the screen instead of using text.

This is the most interesting ksp video I’ve ever seen

100K sup congratulations :)

Your videos never disappoint.

Good to see that your orbital fuel depot will be stocked for the next 2 weeks!

I love seeing the lower debris encounter the atmosphere and get dragged back, actually a very good visualisation of just how rapidly air pressure/drag decreases with height.

Man those second stage boosters reentering is one of the coolest things I've seen in ksp

Absolutely amazing your discovery with the KSP lag. Surely someone could mod the game somehow to optimise this.

Holy shit, I was already in awe watching that behemoth fly up, but when the first stage of boosters peeled off like that and collided .. wow man. Amazing

When you upload, the day is special. Also those graphs are weirdly exactly linear without hardly any deviation up or down from the line

i love the mouse drawing, it’s great

That is fantastic job! Also that's why I use tweak scale and just make thing bigger instead of attaching many tanks and engines.

In space where you don't need all rockets at full blast, you could fire certain patterns of the rockets to display an image like pixels on a screen xD

I don't think I have ever been this excited watching a KSP video before.

This is amazing! About creating artificial stages, another way to achieve it could be adjusting the thrust limiter of the outer engines so that you don't need two engines per tank. This might give you some extra fps given that both drain from the same tank and we don't know if the fuel crossfeed logic can worsen your fps there.

the legend is back
