Colonizing MARS with SpaceX Starship in Kerbal Space Program
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2024
- Happy Winter! I'm back with another upload, very different in style from my normal content. I've wanted to do a Mars colonization video for some time, but I wanted to get Far Future Uranus out and work on a couple other things not content-related beforehand. Making this video was pretty fun, surprisingly. I expected far more terrain buggyness than I actually encountered, and the Starships were really fun to fly. Getting good Starship / Super Heavy landing catch shots was a bit tedious, but it ended up looking good in the end. I'll be back to more normal content (stuff like Far Future Uranus/Beyond Sol) next time. Also, the 1st part of this video (the part synced to Flight Hymn) is obviously inspired by @NessusKSP in his Far Future Saturn video, hats off to him for making some great content with it!

I wholeheartedly believe that Starship will make it to Mars, but a floating orbital launch mount is where I draw the line. Great video 👍🏻
xD so true, I was annoyed by it too but I couldn't find a way around it with the Starship ground infrastructure mod, which provides the launch mount and tower
@@EntropianVFX you could have used kerbal konstruts, really good mod
I mean, the OLM was practically floating after IFT-1
I don't understand how this guy doesn't have more subscribers, go push the button and the blue thumb and send comment for SEO this guy deserves more than that. GG dude, it's beautiful ❤️
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
It's totally normal and deserved, keep it up👍👍
Nicely done! It was cool to see the multi-starship burns, re-entries, and landings. Perhaps we'll see something a little like this some day...
Hopefully we will, even if it's a little far-fetched! I'd love to see humanity expand beyond our home system!
One year later. Starship Launch 4 was a total success! Can't wait to see what they do next! 😊
In my 6 years playing kerbal space program, I have never seen a video as beautiful as this, the perfect landing of the Super Heavy, the expanding colony and the starship in operation, if this is possible in KSP, anything is possible. you have my like and my subscription❤
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
this is possibly the best ksp video ive ever seen. the presupply ships all reentering at the same time was so fucking cool to see
Formation reentry is a crazy idea. But it's badass. Great work!
Thank you! That was exactly what I was thinking when I was doing those sequences xD
I love the synchronized maneuvers and re-entries. You make excellent videos, I look forward to the next one!
Thank you!
Sorry for all the premiere buggyness! Something happened to the video on YT's side and it seems like it thought it was premiering the video when it wasn't, so it never showed it and now I can't premiere it again 😢. I've set it to public now, apologies for the inconvenience caused! If you'd like to discuss this video with me or other viewers, you can join the Discord server (I promise I'm not just plugging the server, I really do care about giving y'all the opportunity): discord.gg/TNB4nSCKBt
@@Uniq0 Thank you!
@@EntropianVFXGreat vid!
You are the best Kerbal space program cinematographer I’ve ever watched. I’m honestly impressed more than words can describe. Please don’t stop, I have no idea why you don’t have a million subs, but I will never stop watching you :D
(Btw, what’s the graphics mod you used to get that atmosphere re-entry effect)
Thank you very much! That mod is Reentry Particle Effects Renewed I'm pretty sure.
This video brings up an interesting thing that is usually lost in the grand discussion on settling Mars with humans. That is, Starship doesn't need to just carry humans to Mars, it could also be used for more regular cargo missions to Mars. Like imagine probes being sent to Mars as regularly as we send them into Earth orbit (obviously limited by transfer window, of course)
Good video, here before premiere even starts but I know it will be good
Amazing, it's like watching a documentary
Multiple starships reentry is quite fantastic! keep up your good work!
I love your videos man! Keep up the good work!
Thank you man, your KSP videos are all amazing. Can't wait to see what you will do in KSP 2 :D
These videos are incredible. Well done!
Just breathtaking! Awesome, buddy!
Beautifully done!
Thank you!
You forgot the part where something goes horribly wrong. These are kerbals we're talking about.
doesnt happen on channels like these lol
Awesome work
Successful ift4! Let’s go to mars!
Me: *watches the video*
My brain for no reason: Kelon Kusk.
Your creativity deserves a bigger award than I can afford!
This is probably how SpaceX will colonize Mars.
Very nicely done, sir =)
SpaceX's gold of heart
Well done!
Fantastic video.
quality content as always
Thank you!
and now I can watch the unlisted video
Premiere buggyness 💀
nice and epic
WOW... JUST WOW!!
I think I haven't seen ksp videos of this quality a while. Keep up the good work!👏
Btw is the part where you scrap the cargo starships for resources an actual concept ? Cause honestly sending this HUGE rocket to the ground like that sounds pretty crazy.
Thank you! I have no idea if it's an actual concept - it's something I sort of set up on the fly, as I figured that they could be a pretty sizable source of scrap materials for a beginning colony.
One word.
NOICE.
i would never land a starship so close to the domes. Dust and flames will damage everything
What a shocking video! Did you realize it by using KRPC module or KOS module? If so, which one?
do not give up on your dreams👍
I rlly didn’t think of this but this is gonna cost SO MUCH MONEY but I don’t understand why you need to bring so many ppl for the first time there
It's so f*cking perfect...
Beautiful video. The synchronized maneuvers, entries, and landings really caught me by surprise, how'd you do that?
Thank you! The synced maneuver was done by slowing down the game, engaging throttle on the craft (if you look closely, you'll see that the burns are not perfectly synced), and then activating Camera Tools to take the footage. The synced landings were done with Booster Guidance, it works with multiple craft.
Hello, do you know how to fix RCS on Starship? It doesn't work with Real fuels mod.
Brilliant work mate! The synchronised landings and burns were awesome to see :-)
Any idea which mod you used to sync the burns up so they could all go together?
Thank you! I did the synced Mars injection burn by slowing the game down with Time Control, engaging throttle, and then taking the camera shot. The synced landings were done with Booster Guidance, it functions with multiple craft at the same time.
@@EntropianVFX I hadn't considered using time control that way - that's a really brilliant way to sync everything up! Thanks man and keep up the amazing videos :-)
How many Starships did you send up in that small window to get to Mars in a timely fashion?
Dude, I have no words... You deserve so much more for doing something so great!!!
Also, how did you do such a steady formation reentry? Did you use any sort of mods or do I just suck?
Thanks! What I did there was I rigged the craft such that all the Starships were a single craft riiiight up until reentry, where I used clipped decouplers (though you can see one in the reentry FX - it's really small) to detach them. Each Starship had its own instance of MechJeb running to keep them stable.
@@EntropianVFX Oh, haha that's smart
Another question; how did you make Mechzilla move and close in on Superheavy? Did you quickly switch to the launch tower and activate a KAL Controller right before Superheavy touched down?
@@Toaster355 If you look closely, you'll notice that the "landing" footage is actually rigged takeoff footage, but reversed. All I did was rapidly activate everything and then takeoff, all in slow-mo, which I then reversed and sped up.
@@EntropianVFX Ohhh sneaky, thanks
Also before I go, have you tried the Hullcam VDS mod? It's great for cinematics, and it would be great for your videos.
@@Toaster355 I've tried it before, but Camera Tools is able to do what it does better.
you have the gridfins on the wrong way on superheavy, the pointy bits are meant to point down not up
Great video! Using Starship outside of LEO is horrible idea though. At what's going to be well over 100MT dry, it's a horrible upper/departure stage.
Still don't understand the stainless steel decision, it absolutely kills the effectivity. But hey, its coming from a company which still insists it doesn't need a flame trench.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
yo this is so epic. Do you have your own config for the starship engines in waterfall?
We NEED a craft file for the starship
theres no craft file. just SEP.
How did you make the small domes at 5:31 ? Couldnt find anything about it that looks remotely like it.
Hey whats the mod for the lowering of the crew and payload so i can havea colony on the mun and duna
An amazing video! Any tips on how to catch Starship and Super Heavy? Been trying for months!
Just do a takeoff in reverse like I did xD
@@EntropianVFX Neat Trick lol! Looks so realisitc! Seriously one of the best KSP videos I've ever seen!
I have to know. How’d you get them to fly next to each other like that and what’s the crane system you use
How did you make the elevator? I have Kerbal Attachment System but im too stupid to figure out how you did that
hey could you tell me how to use starship launch expansion in rss/ro
2:33 and 3:33 are my favourite transitions!!!
Quick question, were the arm catches legit or reversed footage :D
Thank you! The transition at 3:33 was inspired by Yukon09's Outro cinematic, you should go check it out. That's a great question xD, they're reversed footage. When I was trying to record it forwards, the tower kept bugging out right after I caught the vehicle, which made the shots not so good, so I decided to go with reversed footage for the ease of recording and better-looking video.
How do you control multiple vessels at once? As long as I know BurnTogether isn't compatible with more recent versions.. What mod is being used in this video?
parallax 2 does work now with rss?
How do you control 2 spacecrafts at the same time in ksp
Hi! How did you get parallax to look so good? I can't seem to see sand dunes on my version of Parallax.
BEST
Wtf re chido el video
for me the starship just looks black all around and I think theres a lighting issue on it, got any tips?
I haven't found any solution to this problem, but the starship expansion mod doesn't work no matter how I install it, via ckan or with files, does anyone know the solution to this problem?
there r some gas on MArs ; So I think to add a Parashut at the tip top of rockey; that would be more safe when Landing. By the way I think If Mars can live it will be turn to livable itself. Human's power can hardly change A Dead Planate to alive. why not do more effort to save Earth in ER，but revive Mars in morgue.
how do you control many starships and boosters at the same time?
What mods did you use for the ground vehicle at 7:18? Also, what was the purpose of this vehicle during the mission?
How do you get this to work bro ive tried getting the expansion project it shows up but it never works please tell me all the steps im severely confused
I hope this canal gets 1 million subs + 1 sub and like
I NEED to know how you got parallax 2 in RSS. Please.
yeah same XD
I made my own configs.
@@EntropianVFX Damn do you plan on making them public? There's been some talk of RSS configs for parallax 2 on the Linx server but nobody's really successfuly done it yet.
@@SpaceGrond I don't plan on making them public, as they're still pretty buggy and work around half the time. However, I have released some basic stuff on my Discord server, which you can use to learn some of the syntax I used. I'm not sure if Linx has added stuff to the Github wiki yet, I'm not terribly active on his server.
Where did you get the mods??
I don't think that make a Starship land on the center of the colony is very secure
What game version is this
Can people share ships in Kerbal?
in 4:19 what mod is the cable wire?
Kernel attachment system
How did you get such nice pinpoint landings? KAOS script?
I reversed takeoff footage to make it appear like a landing. Pinpoint landings are definitely possible with Booster Guidance though - I initially tried using it to deal with the landings but getting the arms to operate effectively without the UI active wasn't possible for me.
Why You Can Launch Multiple Rockets Simultaneously
Dude, if Elon finds out you could only send 3 people instead of 100 he'll sue you into the ground.
(dont mind the floating launch base)
если не секрет не мог бы вы ты мне сказать как ты установил мод parallax потому я не могу его установить
How did you make Parallax work in RSS?
custom configs
@@EntropianVFX Could you share? ;) Or where can i download?
@@monikaa1052 The configs are private, I don't plan on releasing them.
@@EntropianVFX yhm
4:02 NASA?? really?
It's cool what you can make Kerbal in to with just a couple of visual mods. This is cool
is this herbal space program 1 or 2?
Its ksp1
@@BosnianHeisenbergit looks so realistic how u did that
@@KarusXZ lots and lots of mods
Why did u plant a nasa flag XD its space x
