I had heard a lot about the kraken whilst playing kerbal space program, but I never thought I would end up engineering and building my own kraken in ksp! I tried to just fix Simon the snake but ended up with a game breaking space squid!

You accidentally put a heat shield between the fuel tanks by copy-pasting the shield. Heat shields don't allow fuel flow, blocking the engines from accessing the other tanks.

@@RealCivilEngineerGaming The decoupler on the heatshield decouples the heatshield, along with the parts below it, so if you decouple with the heatshield it will just be serving the same purpose as a decoupler (falling away uselessly) and will do nothing to protect your pod on reentry. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, it doesn't actually work that way. TL;DR : The decoupler on the heat shield makes the heat shield fall off

@sirgouki6207 3 года назад

from 2 parts down from the capsule, autostrut to the root (right click the tank to access this), everything else autostrut to the grandparent *should* keep it from wiggling like that. Autostrut, as the name suggests, does the same as the strut parts in the structural tab. Be careful though, as there are some instances (which I, myself, have yet to encounter) where they will prevent decoupling. Also, any part directly attached to the decouplers should be autostruted to grandparent, as that will strut them to the part on the other side of the decoupler and not the decoupler itself. I only use autostrut heaviest part on parts that are directly attached (or attached via decoupler) to the heaviest tanks on my ship, and for wings (if you don't strut your wings, they CAN and WILL rip off of the ship if there's too much force applied to them). Really wish there was an autostrut to attached part, but this set up has worked in every case I've tested it in. Also, push T for Stability assist. Be warned though, that in some setups this can actually cause worse control problems.

@alexmiranda6107 3 года назад

you can use struts and reaction wheels to stabilize your ship as well as turn on SAS when you launch and try using longer fuel tanks so its less flexible and in between the fuel tanks and the heatshield use a stack separator also get the 2 DLC because they have things you will want to make your rockets better

@nagyesszep Год назад

I know I'm late to the game but in real life - and seemingly in this game too - the lower parts of the rocket can move faster than the top because of air resistance. This means you have to put less or less powerful thrusters on the bottom of the rocket to stop the wiggling.

You don’t build kraken you summon the kraken

@FlorianXXV 3 года назад

If you're not going to fast, a decupler and no heat shield should be just fine and more convenient, but if you plan on going orbital (or really fast) you should put a heat shield and a decupler on. You can detach the heatshield but you want it for reentering the atmosphere so heat shield and decupler are important for that. Also if you want to solve the wobblieness of the rocket, you can turn "advanced tweakables" on. You can find them in the Options. That will allow you to turn on autostruts and ridgit joints (both can be turned on by rightclicking any part). If the Kraken is mercyful the snake should be able to stay together.

@birkbuscher6571 3 года назад

however wobbely rockets ARE more stable with the engines at the top

@trippyrabbit9972 2 года назад

Every thruster after the first ones is carrying less weight the further down the snake you get. The first set of thrusters are carrying the entire craft and will only go as fast as the weight of the craft will let them. Every other thruster is then trying to go faster than top section because they are lifting less weight. The top has all the weight, but the bottom has none, therefore 2/3 of the thrusters are redundant, causing the entire craft to be unstable. If you want a real snake, make it without any thrusters to begin with, then add a couple of detachable Mammoth thrusters to the very top. Then add a few ion thrusters, solar panels and gyroscope modules so you can fly in space! Ive done this myself as inspiration from your first video.

@Hydrani 2 года назад

I think what you should do is put all the rocket engines you want to use at the top of the rocket, in effect dragging the rest of the rocket up with it. You could also put some directional stabilizers on there and then turn on SAS for better control. Also, your tried spinning the rocket with the liquid fuel engines at a slight angle, but you still had the fins on. The whole point of the fins is to stop that exact rotational motion. My advice would be to do what I mentioned before by putting all the engines at the top, and then only tilting one or two of the duo/trio/quartet rockets.

@AWESOMEANCHOVIES 3 года назад

Hold shift while using the rotate tool and the move tool to make more precise adjustments, also when you use shift with the move tool, you can make floating objects

@iknowredstone1234 3 года назад

I'm not sure if this works in kerbal but I would suggest putting something big and heavy at the very bottom bc the air resistance and inertia resists acceleration (from the wiggle and from the truster) and if you put all the thrusters at the top (apparently you can put multiple thrusters in the same space with some glich). I'm guessing it will keep it straight bc the bottom is like pulling the bottom down and tighten the string. idk

You're gonna need a decoupler, yes. You can add to heat shield to the staging, but that will just separate the heat shield from the capsule it's protecting. It's not for separating the heat shield from the stack below it.

You need to keep an eye on center of mass, lift, and thrust, there’s a button to show them. Pretty sure that if you have those right, you can fly any weird thing.

@ValMephora 3 года назад

You just want the engines on top and the fuel below them. In theory (without the wobble) it's more stable than a regular rocket design since the thrust is pulling Fins at (Center of lift) at the bottom, thrust at the top, center of mass in between

@jd52wtf 2 года назад

Try using struts along the length. If you connect lower parts to some much higher parts. Not sure what would be the best interval. You can probably add more rigidity.

The Kraken in KSP is when the physics engine bugs out and destroys craft for no reason. (most often affects large and/or complex and/or landed craft). _Your_ snake-rockets are _understandably_ cursed. :D Also they're just wobbling around because of compounding flexibility in each of the joints, coupled with a rather silly number of parts. :)

@gregoryprice8865 3 года назад

Little tip, solid fuel boosters use their own fuel and can't use liquid fuel, so you may be able to empty the massive fuel takes to reduce the weight, might make it get lift

@simenrsas9049 2 года назад

The rockets all the way at the top is carrying more load. The rockets further and further down carry less and less load, which means the rockets further down are going faster than the rockets further up causing the rockets to go to the sides and hence the wobbling. Try to put all the rockets at the top and none further down.

The thrusters only draw fuel from above so if u have a thruster and a single fuel tank aboe it it doesnt matter if u add a million fuel tanks under it will only take from the one above the spin and tailfins cant work together but u can rotate the fins instead of thruster to get a much more gentle spin to make this work you need either a fuel mod which allows you to modify how much fuel a single tank has or you need to use super light meterials at the top and slowly increase the weight as u go down
