"So, turns out the first truck we sent just kept flipping over onto its back because we never tested it, so we designed one that can flip over at will, and sent that one to rescue the first Kerbal." "Okay so that second truck we sent, turns out it gets no traction whatsoever because we didn't test it either. So we sent the same truck we used on our home planet to rescue the first and second Kerbal."

Eve will be interesting. Sent an unmanned probe there because stranding a Kerbal anywhere just turns my astrophobia up to 11.

You should try actually take the truck off Duna and send it to the next planet rather than sending a new version of the truck to the next planet. Keep it going until it completely beaks down, then send a new one. I think that would make these truck journeys even more legendary.

Also pro tip: The whole thing with turning left and right quickly to make it up hills is actually because of how KSP handles motor torque. If you set it up so that you have one side of the buggy "turning" one way and the other side "turning" the other (use action groups or something), then the tank steering neutralizes and you just get more power straight ahead. Kinda weird but that's KSP. I don't think it works if they wheels actually steer rather than using tank steering.

Get Matt Lowne to do a Blunderbirds episode! Except he has to bring the kerbals and the rover back in one peice would be a good challenge for him and his krack team of kerbonauts also, after watching your rover to the south pole of kerbin video, I am now attempting the same thing! Managed to make it to the north pole so far, I might join the discord to see what others are up to, and I might see if I can fix your train idea so it doesn't snake on you

I really like these videos , hope this channel continues to grow!

If a food mechanic was added to this game where kerbals could starve, the kerbal mortality rates would skyrocket. Casually sit in orbit, or in a flipped truck in space or on another planet for a year or two then immediately get back to work

Its not terrible getting back, your big thing is the rocket you need is quite large, but it is very possible (you could also do two rockets in and have a lander which then can go meet up a transport ship that takes people back. They are fun and complicated missions and they are my favorite to do. also not having to worry about bodies of water realy helped with the time. It still would of took a long time with Kerbin, but without the oceans in the way you could of probably got it done a lot faster.

Nice video! If someone hasn't commented about this already, I suggest you check out the Elcano Challenge on the KSP forums. The challenge is very similar to what you have been doing, with the catch being that it requires one to fully circumnavigate a planet by land or sea. As someone who's done the challenge on every planet, I'll be the first to say that driving a rover that far without going insane is no easy task!

At this rate you’ll find a way to drive across Jool

You've officially inspired me and my friends, to attempt the grand trip of Space Engineers, where we attempt to make it all the way around every planet in the vanilla game, all with the same rover, which will be transported from one planet to the next after it's completed 1 full lap of the planet. We hope to achieve this all within Survival mode, and ultimately, since the planets are so much smaller, and the rovers are so much faster, it might not actually take that long to go around each planet, so we might add some mods to spice it up, give us some more areas of interest. All in all I love this idea, circumnavigation with rovers poses several rather interesting engineering challenges regardless of the game, so I'm gonna do it. Already started work on the rover too, it's going to essentially be a mobile base, as we will likely need to refine recourses for repairs, upgrades, and additional hydrogen and oxygen along the way, but it should be possible to do it all with one rover, with no assistance from a home base of sorts, besides serving as the start/finish line, so we're gonna take on the challenge.

You are crazy and i love this :D Just like " *Jornuey into space* "

15 hours of work for a 20 minute video... mad respect

My man, you make extremely boring things incredibly interesting and engaging! I wish I had half your patience ;)

Very nice video! I like the music and commentary and your new rover design :). For tutorials I recommend Mike Aben, has a lot of up to date tutorials with vanilla game and good explanations, I learned most of the navigation techniques that I know from him. Recently I was even able to pull off a surface rescue and land within 500 meters of target thanks to their tutorial, which I didn't think would be doable at first.

Nice music sync on the jump around 13:43

This guy just keeps going nice job

I see you took our advice when it came to mods. AVP and ReStock are really damn cool. Good job m8!

So I drove round Duna and Eve once it took two weeks of several hour sessions each I’m glad I’m not the only fool mad enough to do stuff like this!

Love the music man, good every time :)

Love your videos, super high quality and well put together. 👍

I love how you came along as soon as I started playing KSP again, may your channel continue to prosper!

This guy is insane keep up the good work on this channel man!

This KZfaq channel is growing fast, which means your content is good! I think you'll reach 5k real quick

the quality of these videos is great for a channel with 2k subs! great job!

Love the content man, been looking for another ksp content creator with the editing style as Matt but does interesting challenges. You earned yourself a subscription by me

dang, didn't you only have a few hundred subs just a few videos ago? This channels had some explosive growth, congrats man

These are really amazing, don't give up!!

This is great content, definitely deserves more views

I returned from Duna on my first try with the smallest 4 orange engines strapped to the smallest tank on the smallest command pod, you just need a slightly bigger tank below it to get to orbit but the gravity is weaker and the air is less dense but that's all you need to get back to Kerbin

Getting home really depends on how kerbal you want to do it. Duna is one of the easier ones. You can go more straight forward and have a rocket. A high thrust vacuum engine should get you up easily, or you could go full kerbal and have a solar powered prop plane that stages off the wings and lights the rocket at 5km+

Can’t wait to see this channel grow

Good vid! Epic mission

This man has too much free time

You’re videos are getting better and better keep uploading!

I could not pull Off something like that. Amazing video dude.

These videos remind me of the Top Gear specials, but in KSP

Your videos have done something for me even Scott couldn't. You inspired me to reinstall KSP. I haven't played in something like, 6 years.

I did a KSP Duna video where I tried to get kerbals to Duna and back... and it did not go as planned Absolutely everything was performed by guesswork, and while I managed to rescue the kerbals, I did need a rescue team, and then a rescue team for the rescue team, and the rescue team for the rescue team nearly lost a kerbal to the void requiring a 3rd rescue team. I didn't play Kerbal for a while after that lol EDIT: I almost lost a kerbal to the void in a munar mission video which also required multiple rescue teams and played out very similarly to the duna disaster lol

I appreciate your commitment to you videos! They look super professional like Matt lowne, another popular ksp KZfaqr. I think you should go around Eve because the gravity is 4x stronger than kerban I think, so it'll be a challenge!

Alternate title; how to become a Gigachad

I know a way you might be able to get them back. And yes, you guessed right, it does involve the carrier I gave you. You might be able to build a SSRT plane that can fit inside the cargo bay and can work in Duna's atmosphere. I haven't checked to see if you could put small planes in it yet. And also Gilly and the ore landers. I might be able to make it and send you the file. It might end up involving a Kraken drive with the plane. I hope you're ok with that. Might not even be a plane if we're going the Kraken drive route. Or if we do use a Kraken Drive, we probably won't need the mothership. Or you could join the Matt Lowne subreddit and request a Blunderbirds rescue mission. That is an option.

Amazing video but now you have to go Eve

Really loving your videos man!! If there is one single thing I could say to improve your videos, get a better mic, or check out your settings to make sure you aren't clipping. Maybe throw a little compression on it too. Either way, I'm here for the ride!

Drive across gilly without leaving the ground.

awesome video yet again! #Elipontdeservesaraise

Bro trust me your heading on the fame pathway and will be there in no time.

This gives me some major HOCgaming vibes with his expedition series of charity livestreams he did back in the day before he went MIA off the platform. You should do some of these on a livestream! It'd be fun to watch live and just hang out with chatters!

great video 👍

here's some tips ive found sending rovers to low gravity planets: -you should turn the friction control up to max, so that your wheels actually get traction -you should also turn your drive limiter to about 20, so that you accelerate slower. this will significantly help with stability -for all rovers in general, i usually increase break power more the further back the wheel is, to prevent flipping over -similarly i turn steering way down to prevent rolling Also, whenever i use timewarp on a rover, it always ends up bouncing and then breaking the wheels. Do you not have that problem?

Freaking awesome

I'm waiting for mat lowen or Scott manly to comments on this

i love the hours of effort put into these videos my concern is also the hours of effort put into these videos

Yay a new video to watch

great vid! hope you do some other games

More wheels equals less pressure per wheel

The mod that has that camera thing is actually BD Armory for some reason.

Next video: Driving across the sun

LOVE

He did it again!

15:46 - I like "Dunar".

KZfaq recommends to me this video after one year 💀

You should do a challenge with ksp galaxies unbound without ksp interstellar extended parts.

Very epic

weird tractor on Duna

Have you ever tried to use vessel mover mod? With that mod There is a way to “right” a flipped vessel and even spawn vessels.

Car trip from north pole to south pole of Jool when? 😄

kerbal alarm clock is has been stock since 1.12. The button is under the one that looks like a fuel tank.

now **DRIVE** from ksc to mun

If you don’t want antennas to control your rockets, isn’t there a setting for that? Commlink or something

❤

Nice If your driving on Eve time Warp it because it takes 29.98 hours

Funny how you didn't include a height limit to simulate not going over water, yet your second rover design forced you to do the reverse; you couldn't clime inclines so could not go too high.

and I like your vids

Nice voyage, just kinda sad that you didnt visit any of the easter eggs.

I didn't enjoy the dust in my shoes. duna dust kinda tastes like ravioli

Man, wouldn't it be funny if you went to the north and south pole on foot, nah stupid idea

You should release two videos. One like this aka 20min and another of a vod style that is a couple of hours long. Or do whatever you want I’m no boss.

Just use hyper edit to test your rovers it will save you a lot of time.

drive across the sun

make a bigger truck and get the breaking grounds dlc for easier landing (u can make ramps and stuff)

Drive across Jool 💀

You know there a really decent rover module you coulda used to make a decent rover instead of whatever that was💀😂

God, PLEASE use autostruts!!!!

Release the save file, I'd love to take a crack at a rescue mission.

Here's one for you I'll make a video of me going to get your rover back I do use warp drive so you might feel like it's cheating .

discords not there :(

was this as hard as the first drive

Do it on gilly >:)

Hi

If you ever dive on dress can you jump the dress canion
