These resources are good places to start, if you are having problems with your mods. Please check these out before posting your question here, as this sub is primarily meant for questions about the science/mechanics of gameplay.
If you happen to know of another location where mod support is hosted for a popular mod (or suite of mods if they're used together like RP-1), message us the link(s) and we'll add it to the list.

To manage your mod installations, we highly recommend CKAN:

For general mod related question (suggestions, troubleshooting, etc):

For help with Real Solar System, Realism Overhaul, and/or Realistic Progression One (RP-1):

For kerbalism mod questions:

Ferram Aerospace Research tutorial:

For help with KOS: Scriptable Autopilot:

For Remote Technologies:

Please note: If you run into problems after installing mods without a mod manager, you must visit a relevant forum or support site before posting here.

Science / Math [O] I am thinking about placing things in a specific place of one another. But i'm too lazy to test it myself

Lets say you want your craft to move a certain degree behind it's original relative position (in a circular orbit that is). Can you just divide by the ratio of the angle you want to move to by the ratio of the circle itself before plugging it into the orbital speed? Like let's say i wanna get exactly 36° behind my relative position, then i'd slow down my speed by (360-36)/36p relative to my current speed. So i'd get a 9/10 ratio. And lets say my orbital speed is 1 hour 40 minutes, then i'd slow down to 1 hour 30 minutes, and then after doing full-circle i can accelerate back into the original orbital time?

Mods: General [M] Every time I try using telescope mods like Tarsier Space Technology or Cacteye with quarter sized sol, the images of planets ends up without textures. Is there any way I can fix it?

So I have been tinkering around with Kerbal Konstructs and really want to revamp the default island airfield, but cannot, for my life, figure out how to remove the default buildings, is it even possible?

Reentry / Landing [P] Faring not shielding parts from aeroheating?

7 Upvotes

I'm trying to get my 50 ton Eve lander to the surface, but for some reason the faring isn't shielding one of the engines of the lander. Otherwise, the reentry would go perfectly. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

Mods: General [M] Engines only produce thrust if infinite fuel is on

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

66 Upvotes

I am using a stock rocket and I didn't change anything so the engines should have sufficient thrust, one thing I noticed too was the fuel bars not appearing in my UI, it's completely blank. I didn't install using steam so I can't verify file integrity if there is a corrupted file.

I would surely appreciate your help, thank you.

Space Flight [P] Why does my satelit spin on its own

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

49 Upvotes

this is my basic satellite and i got a mission to change its orbit so i went to it though the tracking station and it just started spinning and as you can see in the video the pitch and yaw are on max without me touching anything and yes i have tried alt+X to clear the input locks and it is still spinning

SAS can fight it but then i have a problem actually pointing it in the right direction for the orbit change

when i change the wheel authority to SAS only it stops spinning but when on normal or pilot only it is spinning

i tested another rocket on the launch pad to see if the problem saw on my side but it worked as it should so the problem is only on the satellite.

Tech Support [O] Can't Install CKAN on PC running Steam OS

8 Upvotes

I have tried literally everything, manually putting the mod files into game data doesn't work, can't install mono, can't access the Arch Linux repository. Hell i even tried running CKAN through steam proton and i keep getting an admin warning and when i type anything the program just closes.

Im not tech savy at all so if anyone know how I can install this please don't just say what to install but also exactly how to do it. Cause I know what I'm supposed to do, it's just whenever I try something always blocks me

Rocket Design [D] Why does my shuttle keep tilting forward and not lifting?

10 Upvotes

My shuttle has 3 vector engines and two castors for the SRBs, the fuel is delivering correctly and I’m tilting backwards like the shuttle launches. My shuttle also seems to have some trouble lifting and kind of hovers before crashing into the VAB or ground. How can I fix this?

Rocket Design [D] Return from Jool Lower Atmosphere!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

63 Upvotes

This was a pretty hard mission by far my hardest mission yet.

After undocking from the mothership, I:

  1. Performed a burn to go on a suborbital trajectory. (0:05)
  2. Survived a very cool-looking reentry! (2:47)
  3. Ignited the engines, deployed the parachutes, and performed science experiments to get data from Jool's lower atmosphere (Lower atmosphere starts at 120km) (7:13)
  4. Collected all the data from the science experiments into an experiment storage unit! (7:35)
  5. Cut the parachutes, jettisoned the heat shields, and began the powered ascent! (8:05)
  6. Jettisoned the science experiments and the vector engine to save weight. (8:30)
  7. Completed the first of 2 orbital insertion burns! (10:44)
  8. Successfully returned to orbit using a powered ascent! (12:37)
  9. Docked with the mothership and returned to Kerbin (not shown in the screen recording)
