A question for people mining Kethane - is it possible to fully deplete a Kethane deposit?

[jhxmt]

Launched a manned mission to Eve, having already done probe flybys, to land and get a soil sample.

Miscalculated (well, miscontrolled actually...first time using Mechjeb and I foolishly assumed that the 'land at target' button would take account of remaining fuel) and ran out of fuel.

Kerbal now stranded, in lander, in elongated orbit of Eve.  Also in a mess of stupidity, I realised that I forgot to add a probe controller onto my orbit stage, so the lander can't even reconnect with that (as it's now debris). 

So, fuel-filled rescue mission en route!

You can still reconnect to the orbital stage, you just have to turn debris tracking on in the options.

And yes, you can deplete kethane deposits.

Ah, didn't realise that.  Still, it appears the Kraken has saved me from even that mistake - logged back into my game to find that the Eve-orbiting craft had simply...vanished.  No debris.  No nothing.  Just gone.  The piloting kerbal is listed in the Astronaut Centre as 'Missing In Action'.

Sigh.  Oh well.  Back to the drawing board!

Interested as well. Wen I use up an hex will it still flow from near hexes?

A nuclear meltdown in space would be awesome. A sphere of molten metal throwing out neutrons like they're going out of style.

You know, I'm really not sure what to make of you sometimes Silly Putty.
On the one hand, practically everything you post is a sarcastic, sometimes almost scathing response to a simple, easy-to-do mistake on someone else's part.

But on the other hand, you do it so goddamn well.

silly putty

why did i not come up with this

this is going to be used so many times when i reference putnam which is never

The thing is... he's not wrong either...

I slapped into the water at 10 m/s because the parachute disappears near the ground and lost all of my four goo pods T_T So much science lost...

Turn on debris and you Still might be able to recover them from the tracking station.

Finished the campaign tree finally, with a trip to laythe. Never had this much fun.

Now I'm playing with kethane, kas, far and deadly reentry and I am soo much better at anything.

Landers that were at 75ton now have 50 with the same dv and more optionals, probes and rovers are in the sub ton range and launch vehicles are soo much small and simpler...

[Girlinhat]

I'd like to see some of the sub-ton probes and rovers, actually...

[Skyrunner]

I think I ran out of Science sources. :x I'm only at like General Rocketry and Survivability (roughly second or third layer in the tree), and I think I ran out of things to do. Doing the goo experiments again don't give me more science :c

Let me get home and I'll pm some screenshots

Build a bigger rocket, go to different places. Being close to a different celestial body will yield more science points for the same actions.
