WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME ON A BRISK WALK? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!

It would have been a lot more fun if I hadn't known that getting more than 2.2km from my parked rover would make it evaporate when I went back to it for some reason. I came to a halt at 1.6.

It shouldn't evaporate - I sometimes go on 20km jaunts to hit some biomes, and nothing's deleted. I guess if you're in atmosphere on Duna/Laythe and you don't have a probe core on the rover, it'll classify as debris and go away. Is that what happened? Otherwise it should be perfectly fine since debris outside of atmosphere should stay where it is.

I'm not really sure what happened either. It was parked on the surface of Pol and had an empty cockpit and no probe core. I jetpacked over to a mountain about 3km away, and could see its marker back where I left it, but when I flew back towards it and hit the magic 2.2km line the marker disappeared and, even more strangely, so did the one for a flag I had planted next to it. When I got back to where they had been was no sign of either. Fortunately I had quicksaved just before setting out, so I reverted and went to replant the flag, which turned into the epic trip-and-fall adventure.

What might have happened is that when they physics loaded they got buried beneath the surface of the world. Or otherwise got dropped and destroyed. I know this was a big problem with Gilly once upon a time...

I haven't played in months, are there any new mods I should use? I heard about volumetric clouds and the 64 bit fix at least, and I already have Kethane, KAS and Mechjeb.

I should probably just wait until the next patch but I'm in a Kerbal mood right now :jeb:

Haha, actually it's related to something I'm working on via the power of sheer will and finding devs who have like 20 free minutes to give to a project. It's super tiny and impossibly silly but we're getting some crazy stuff out of it.

Ok, I get the left and right displays (money and science) but what's the star one in the middle with the yellow/green background? I'm on holiday for the rest of this week, I bet the release is soon but after I go back to work.

Episode 5 of Kerbalcast is up! http://kerbalpodcast.libsyn.com/

This is our longest episode yet at 60 min and we talk about rendezvous, music, contracts, and Gravity.

Our question of the week: What are your essential mods?

What length do you prefer for a podcast? We try to go between 45-60min but we decide if the content is good enough it's whatever.

I think certain Kerbals should reach celebrity status if they go on enough missions and then get sponsorship from Junkyard Inc.

I also want to see Kerbals protest for Kerbal rights if enough Kerbals die.

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

What's the best way to jump back into this game and ensure that there's no issues with mod compatibility after a bit of time away? Is there any sort of mod manager that helps out? I don't know what the best way is to make sure everything I have is both up to date and working with the most current release version.
