Kerbal Space Program - Breaking Ground DLC - More Than Just Mecha 

"a reason to to do the classic Kerbal manoeuvre 'the crash'."

"But I want to land this in as many pieces as possible." We should challenge ourselves to land craft in as many pieces as possible. It would take a fairly good amount of skill and luck. If you land too fast, you don't get any pieces. If you land too slow, you only get one piece. You'd have to land at just the right speed to get a lot of pieces.

"Now you have a reason to crash things!" incoming danny video...

I was thinking I'd have to come back to KSP when I have money again but you reminded me I too bought this game a long long time ago. Checked my steam and it already installed and updated to include it. Well that's a nice reminder.

04:05 I think it is pronounced "Lithobraking", Mr. Manley.

trebuche launcher oh my god this is what KSP's untapped potential was. Absolute madman rocket science!

I've been waiting for you to do a video on KSP since the new DLC came out. Love your content Scott, keep it up !

you can adjust the landing gear spring/damper values for less bounce

But will I get science from crashing to desktop?

The crash? I think you'll find that the scientific denomination for this event is lithobraking.

Think the only thing KSP is missing now is to create buildings (Like a mars base ect) that you can actually see inside of and interact with the objects inside.

Ksp community: omg robotics Surface anomalies: am I a joke to you?

Having "conquered" the tech-tree, the interest in collecting science drops. Why not: allow the collected science to enchance, develop, refine, the parts, ie making them lighter, or making the engines stronger and/or more effective. For example; 1000 science could increase the effectiveness of a solarpanel with 10%. Wheather the 'gain' should be random or player guided, is arguable.

Back in 1.2 I used KIS and KAS which made it so you had inventory and tools to assemble parts outside the KSC. I was hoping Squad would implement this fully but this is amazing =]

I was eagerly awaiting for this video! Thank you Scott!

Great video but especially thanks for the explanation of the VSS Unity’s feathering system!

Thanks Scott! Love your videos

Yes! I missed the twitch stream so thank you for the RU-vid upload.

I just love Scott Manley's videos.

A trebuchet to surpass Metal Gear. Make that thrust vectoring aircraft a flying wing.

*Pictures interplanetary VTOL* oh yeah, it's all coming together

There's a 'Martian' suit on display in the space centre (museum) in Leicester. It's got a GoPro case stuck on the side of the helmet. And many LEDs inside the helmet of course.

As some one who works on A-10s I appreciate and A-10 inspired aircraft.

Yes! I loved the seismograph in Remote Tech or what ever it was called. Glad to see it's back. This is like two of my favourite mods wrapped up into one expansion. =D

That tretbuchet losing its tail reminds me of how Curtiss improved the Model D pusher after Beechy smashed the fore stabilizer off.He remarked that it flew much better without the foreplane, and si the company made the aptly named Model D HEADLESS Pusher.

Solid content as always :D

Really cool! I liked your little ant robot thingy XD

Ah yes, the video I've been waiting for has finally arrived.

Love your KSP content Scott

7:02 thats pretty dark scott, you are quite a cruel god

Always good to see a KSP video!

The new action groups and the controller have been insanely awesome. I’ve really enjoyed those.

Wow! That landing at the end was perfection!

"There, we brought it back *safely*." Haven't played KSP with these new toys till now. Of course I knew where to come for an introduction. Just having a stock remote tech system is cool to me. o7

im glad to see your uploading ksp again. i would love to see a rcs rover. i know its a hard request but i know you ca do it . ps i enjoyed the chernobyl video

Thanks man!

Just got it I can't wait to try it this weekend

Oh man I cannot wait for exams to be over so I can spend the following month glued to this

Beauty bud - I hope they come out with this DLC on PS4. As we don't have the option of mods it would add a lot of functionality and fun! been enjoying watchin' all your videos while I play the game after recently discovering it. I wish I'd have known about KSP back in 2011 lol

Been waiting for this vid since release of the DLC! Got it for free as early backer but didn't have a clue about the nuances of the DLC. Too lazy to read the update notes? Yep! Waiting for Scott to upload a vid!

At least you were flying half a ship!

Finally a Scott Manley KSP upload

Hmmm, what if: You could do a *mech battle* with breaking ground Hmmm

IR + KIS + KOS = the new DLC, I'll prob buy it at some point anyway ;-) Making history was cool with the mission builder, but does anyone feel like KSP has too many parts while still missing some? How long ago do I have to have purchased the game to get this DLC for free?

That's an admirably exact simulation of the SpaceShipTwo, apparently neither really reaching the Kármán line at 100Km which some people still consider the threshold of "space"... :)

If anybody else was wondering what Scott means about his glider landing being done "completely dead stick, even though there's no stick on these things." Turns out the "stick" in "dead stick landing" refers NOT to the control stick (the flight controls still work, at least partially in such a situation), but to the propeller! Which, in such a situation, would be just a "dead stick." TIL.

The deployable controlhub which is required for all the experiments already has a built in antenna. So if whatever body you have it set up on has a proper comm network orbiting you will not need to bring along the extra ground based com unit.

i'm still waiting for a feature to control more than 1 craft at once, whether it's implemented via time rewind or some other way

A Scotsman saying "goo" just made my Monday.

Year fly safe, not chasing the tails.. Thanks for sharing

Dig the opening jam!

damn this looks like a really good DLC!

Agree. I'm enjoying this more than MH, although my fave "expansion" was a totally "free" one --- 1.7, with the "Room to Maneuver" upgrades. To me that is the single most important addition that Squad has done since this game's inception.

Ok Scott. Counting the bumps beginning with Monday, this was a Fridays landing. An old tradition of German RC-Pilots. Maybe it's even an international one. ✈

Nice video about the DLC Scott Manley! Do you have any idea of what the best kind of rover or moving vehicle would be to make with the DLC?

Would be happy to see more KSP again

He failed to test that plane in the wind tunnel first to figure out it's aerodynamic quality prior to adding engines!

Great video! Would you be able to do a tutorial for the robotic parts? I cant seem to wrap my head around it

I think the time has come for you to teach us how to make rovers again : ) That and show off getting them to a planet. cause I never got them to work.

Scott starts to show of wing feathering with black wings on a black background... *video goes to 240p because of poor connection*... 'hold on this wont work'

It would be cool to have a DLC that lets you build space centres on different planets so you can build a rocket on a different planet and and take off from there

4:44 any english kids around my age remember Bamzooki? I'm getting memories of that looking at this

very good. success.

the fix for bouncy landing gear (and legs) is super simple.. they calculate a rebound "boost" that sometimes exceeds the initial compression force (especially if your vehicle is low weight).. also would be nice to add friction in there as well to reduce the rebound to something more realistic.. unfortunately this object/method is not exposed to mods so anyone trying to fix it has to make their own wheelmodule (or copy KSP's internal code which is probably not so legal)..

Nice landing

The main thing I cant help but think is needed when I watch the walking robots from this dlc, is a part with high friction to use as feet. The legs always seem to slide about more than they actually move the robot anywhere.

Ah, I'm so glad I bought the game in early alpha. I get to enjoy all of the DLC without extra cost.

Oh man that's a sweet vertibird

If I can tear myself away from bashing in skulls in Mordhau I'll have to check this out

Did you not notice KSP has Propellers now? Helicopter and plane style ones! I had a quick mess with them but it'll take me a few days rather a few seconds to figure out how to control them properly.

The curiosity rover has is the longest surviving rover on mars

Now I can’t wait for payday to get the DLC.

Green Sandstone? That would be a sedimentary rock, indicating the presence of water at some time in the past?

I feel like squad is using this as a king of vary early beta for ksp 2

thrust vectoring rules the skies

Ohhhh, so the DLC is free for the early supporters! Sweet! :D I just checked and it turns out I can download it for free too! :D

My kingdom for an actual parts showcase that doesn't just shill the DLC

I'm sure this video is great, but I want to keep the surprise for when I get the DLC, so sadly I'll have to watch it later. I did leave a like though!

Scott Manley, at 10:50 you mention "dead stick" and how the plane doesn't have a stick. Fun fact, "dead Stick" does not refer to a control stick, it is an old saying referring to the propeller which at the time were wooden, when the engine was dead the prop was dead, and its a big dead piece of wood kinda shaped like a.. STICK :) hence "dead stick"

Hah! thanks for the heads up, I nearly purchased it until I realised I already have it since I'm an old guy,.. ahum I mean Kerbonaut since 2012 :P slàinte!

Really hope this come out for console before I die of waiting for it

A question from a stranger: For the bouncing landing gear did you already adjust the tweakable dampeners and the springs? I turn up the dampeners and I dont have an issue with the landing gear being too bouncy but I dont know about how it affects your craft files. Just curious.

I might be high or having a fever dream about a mod, but I thought they added the ability to adjust the spring rates and dampening on the wheels and legs in an update a while back?

5:48 Ahh, a superior launching engine.

Scott doing KSP again? Get out of town!

Fired up KSP for the first time in a year or 2 last night cause of this video. God I love this game. I love that they put delta V amounts in the rocket builder, so nice. Anyone know if there is a way to change the view to vacuum vs sea level?

Here's a challenge scott: Build a reaction wheel using the new robotic parts. It could be very educational

I hope you do another runthrough of Interstellar Quest. Since communications and infernal robotics are base-game now, and because KSP is 64-bit, you should run into fewer crashes this time around!

New Series!!! Explore OPM robotically!!!

I got the game like 3 days after the (you get dlc for free) day 😥 stil going to get it stil becos this game still manages to entertain me since 2013

The game still needs epic tyre rubbing sounds when you're landing, like in movies. I'd play the shit out of ksp if they added that.

At 5:45 this thing just YEEETS an airplane in the sky... :-D

Its not a crash, its a rapid unplanned disassembly

I've crashed things on random spots on a planet and still gotten science for it so I don't think you need to crash near it

me, tried to build working helicopter in the dlc and failing, watches with open jaw on this vertibird

How do you “lock” motors??? I have tried making legs, and work fine with gravity cheats, but will fall limp under their own weight. Is there a setting that makes them stiffer? I tried struts but they prevent any movement whatsoever. Help?

Could you set any object (within certain size) on the inventory?

Tempted to get another copy of Kerbal on my PS4 while my PC is out of commission. Dunno how well the controls translate to a controller? And have they added Quindar tones to the basegame? its just not space without them.

HULLO SCOTT MANLEY

Looked to me like your Virgin Galactic ship didn't make it beyond the karman line!
