RECEIVE!

So awesome!
Hmm... He is not using that many rockets... I wonder if you could make it bigger?

I second the pure awesomeness of this. Of course, I'm now tempted to do something like this even though I know I'd fail horribly trying...

[Aseaheru]

my account got killed by them FOR NOTHING (really. i cant get anything and the only things i had done on there was installing (and briefly playing) a NEW copy of Civ V)

Did you ask them? Because they are very responsive to issues like that.

Tried but could not get in. another reason why i dislike them.

[Putnam]

"Could not get in"? What did you try?

[Aseaheru]

official support.

Welp, anywho here's the start of my Mun Lander mission. Introducing the Odin-1 Command Vessel!



I'm pretty certain I have FAR more fuel than neccessary for a simple Mun mission, the idea is to have a command vessel capable of far more than going to the Mun....

And here it is in orbit!

[Mageziya]

I have successfully landed my first Muen-Rover! It was via skycrane and used a lot of quick-saving, but in the end, it worked!

I have nicknamed it, Buddy-Rover. It is a tiny, nuclear powered rover.

I take it the "eyes" are headlamps of some kind?

[Mageziya]

I take it the "eyes" are headlamps of some kind?

They are "Illuminator mk1" stock lights. They're basically the reason I call it Buddy-Rover

[Sirus]

I haven't had time to update yet, so all of these new stock parts are things I just don't recognize.

Can't wait to fool around with these rovers. Maybe they'll be easier than docking or flying to other planets

[Girlinhat]

Wait, did we really get like proper rover wheels, an not 'rocket wheels'?

[Rose]

Proper motorized and steerable wheels.

So guys, I bought this game some time ago and tried the latest version again.
I mean it was fun at first, building rockets and failing, but now I don't really know what to do. Okay, I can get to the mun or some other strange planet and then? There is really nothing to do there?

I heard something about minining resources there, but I don't know if it's a mod or something that will appear in the vanilla game in a future update.

Yea I know it's supposed to be a sandbox game, but shouldn't there be a *little* more to it than just building rockets/spaceships?
Or am I just missing something?

[Jehdin]

I'm in the same boat, I got bored with building stuff a while ago and right now there's very little reason to continue and almost nothing else to do.

One thing to keep in mind is that it's still early in development and they do plan on making it into an actual game at some point.

Oh, and they are adding mining in the vanilla game in the next update, I think. There's a mod for it right now but I have no idea what it's called.

[IronyOwl]

I don't know either, but I've heard Kethane mentioned, so a search for that might give you the mod that includes it (a quick search reveals that there is something called a Kethane Pack, though I don't know if that's the mod or collection of mods or what).

then land on it? land on it and its moon? land and come back?

But yes, there isn't anything else, will be added in the future, i'd say come back in 3 months for a resource and resource gathering (eg space mining) system to be implemented in the game.
