Using Every Engine to Get to Laythe in Kerbal Space Program 

FYI some of the engine variants have vastly different sizes, the “poodle” engine has a *long* mode that could help

“The engine was pretty weak” *Is the most powerful engine in the game*

imagine if nasa tried to launch a rocket like that.

Drinking game: Each time he says "I ended up", take a sip

I'd like to see a rocket where every stage is separated by a fearing, like a russian nesting doll

12:44 There is a setting in the game called “extended burn indicator” that tells you exactly when to burn the engines to get the most precise burn. Not turned on by default for some reason and not as precise as guidance mods like mechjeb but very useful for transfer burns and long burns in stock ksp. And, if you’re fine with not playing full stock, there is a mod called “bettertimewarp” that allows you to time warp at whatever speed you want. Physics warp to 16x speed for low thrust burns with ion engines or nuclear engines can cut down the time needed for burns by a lot.

You should try and make a rocket that stops and drops a lander at every planet in one trip

I just love these KSP and challenge videos where you try to force real engineering onto video game physics

Mortimer Kerman: Alright kerbals, we need to prepare the budget for next year. What do we got? Wernher Von Kerman: I've been thinking of a new engine design we could- Gus Kerman: We don't need another engine design! My machinists can barely keep track of the dozens of engine types we have to make. Bill Kerman: I agree with Gus. We should streamline the manufacturing process to produce only engines used in our next rocket design. Jeb, your the pilot, so what engines do you think we need? Jebediah Kerman: ...

this somehow worked out better than I thought it would. Also looking at the whole thing, if you hadn't thrown away those awful xenon engines you might've been able to land back on kerbin

Engine plates are the soltion to the problem of unequal heights! they have stadard sizes instead of conforming to the length of the engine. It also allows you attach more engines to the bottom of a fuel tank. Literally the best part in the game

if you're worried about SRBs hitting your craft, use sepratrons, its the entire purpose of the sepratron

12:56 The poodle engine has a second variation with a single larger nosecone All you have to do is change the color for some reason

I really recommend the Planetshine mod, a lot of people use it and it allows you to easily change the brightness of the dark side of planets

From the perspective of Laythe's inhabitants, you pulled up into orbit, launched four missiles at them, then left.

When I play this I always use more than 8 types of engines

Yoooo i love ksp! Youre definitely my favourite youtuber. Keep it up!!

Always a good day when Reid uploads :)

that's a lot of engines

10:48 the entire problem was that it WASN’T weak.

the most kerbal rocket.

I love how he is starting to upload a lot more! Keep it up! 😊

2:52 in the video where you only used monopropellant to make a rocket you got your rocket to hover in place for about a second by activating your landing gear to launch you into the air, you should try making a hovercraft like vehicle using this method. :)

This gives me an idea, I wonder if you could land a Kerbal on ALL of the moons in the system with ONE rocket. I have no idea how easy/hard this would be. It might even require mining for fuel, who knows.

There are tanks for 3.75m engines and the poodle engine has a second configuration which is taller

Me: can barely build a functional rocket and struggles to get orbit or any kind of a planet encounter This guy: uses every engine and manages to tour the solar system

make a rocket with reverse staging i mean bottom part is payload

Man, I'd love to see you play From the Depths, not for making engines out of cannons and stuff, but just because you can make some mad looking vehicles in it

hello reid captain, love your KSP videos!

If you hit the arrow in the top left while you are building, it brings up different ways to sort the parts - one of them let's you sort by diameter, so that would help you find the right size fuel tanks for those engines you couldn't see them for

I had an idea a few years ago but nobody did it, but the idea was to make a rocket/plane with only *1* of every part. Only 1 of every antenna, fuel tank, engine, decoupler, command pod, etc. you cannot have, say, two struts. Only one of everything. Your planetary destination is your choice.

For the first landing, you could have rightclicked the vector and turned down the gimbal limit, it would have been able to land

This video was great i watched it in its entirety i promise!

I died when the lander sunk a laythe and they just went “I was really happy with that successful landing”

Shocked at how well all that worked, haha

have u done a video where u visit as many places as possible? like land and leave each place till ur outta fuel or wreck? if u complete them then try to return home maybe?

This man not only used every engine, he visited multiple planets as well!

This is such a cool and innovative game.

I love these kind of experimental things will you try to do something crazy like this my favorite kind of content

Have you considered landing on every planetary body in one mission?

14:19 that was a great jumpscare!

14:20 "Sir, we are detecting a massive object emerging from hyperspace"

My personal highlight here was the Laythe jump scare

You should apply this same concept but in Besiege. Make a machine or car using every mechanical part?

> adds stacks of decouplers to "even out the height" > wonders why the rocket is floppy

you ended up doing a lot of things lol nice video tho

this is the very definition of "MOAR BOOSTER!"

legends say those two landers are still in jool orbit

You could use engine plates instead of the separators, and right click on them to change the length of the shroud. This means that there wont be a difference in heights.

Something with Hitchhiker storage containers. I love them, 100% favourite crew capsule. Why? Idk. It just looks kinda cozy in there.

Can you try to land on any celestial body you like, just by using mass drivers?

2:55 The Poodle has a different variant that is taller, so you could use it instead. Anyways, great video that cant be done on Enhanced Edition!

to make it more efficient and more aesteticly plesant, you could have done a mothership that has many landers with different engines that would be used to go all around kerbol

I like how hes doing all these challenges and im struggling to get on minmus

2:55 If I'm not wrong the second mode for the "Poddle" is very similar to the "Skiff" one

This spaceship is like a traveling space station

alright now make a rocket that uses only one of every part in the game

I don’t know why it’s so satisfying when he said nose cone

Now you also gotta make a rocket with every part in the game.

At 2:16 you could use engine plates and set the heights to be the same

Omg Only 15 people Reid is big POG

"Decouples, decouples, oh look it's another engine" -this Rocket

You should make a mothership that has little ships or landing craft and have to land at least one ship on every planet

You should do a challenge where you have to land on every planet or as many as possible

oh god this looks HIDIOUS i love it

I think you should try to use only puff engines to get to anywhere

I'm surprised he could keep up with where to put things and what rockets were already put down.

It looks like some sort of post apocalyptic rocket attempt

Could you try making an eeloo mission or moho mission? Maybe use only vector engines or something.

it actually looks kinda cool

The swivel engine is more efficient in a vacuum than the reliant but less efficient in the atmosphere

NASA's banned rocket

bro made the loading screen rocket

Use engine plates instead of decouplers to have the same height

Idea: Make a rocket using only the Sepretron! Heck yeah

Imagine trying to launch a rocket with every part in KSP

"probe cores, conserve a little weight," the vector engines:

Next, make a rocket with every part

Reliant is more efficient at sea level, while swivel is more efficient in a vacuum

Now the next challenge: Ditch a Kerballian on every planet/moon. and have them survive. Sign up now, its a 1 way trip.

Video idea: make an airplane and circle the world

Go to Moho using only spark engines and it has to be FULLY reusable. (Optional: reaction wheels are aloud)

The engine with 4 nozzles and can’t gymbal could just lower the thrust to make the rocket turn

the laythe jump scare lol

"The more tanks the more "DIFIIULT" it is to get into orbit" lol

Man that kinda look like a How To Basic food tutorial

Make a rocket with every KSP pieces :o

you make ksp look easy.

All the original ksp players are tearing their hair out watching all your videos...

Make a rocket or plane with EVERY part

What about a rocket using every possible part?

Kerbal Space Program at its finest.

could yoy do something with just that tiny solid rocket fuel engine?

can you do a mun and or minmus landing with ONLY SRB's? or maby duna?

Are you working on the eeloo mission idea I gave you?

i wonder how long it took to make the staging work out

Sooooo good yo

5:28 thats a solid fuel rocket.

Alot of people have trouble getting off earth.he just slaps all the rockets on and gets it no problem

Nice, but can you do it only with engines made for things that aren't rockets?
