It brings me great comfort to know that you and some of the other super-users/content creators have a direct line to the developers for improving the game. It makes me feel much better about KSP becoming what it should be as time goes on. Thank you.
Don’t know if you know this Matt but you can view your thrust to weight ratio by just clicking engineer report in the VAB :) (it’s towards the bottom right of the UI)
Unfortunately like many things in the current version the power to weight figure breaks more often than not. Earlier I had a rocket which it claimed had a thrust to weight ratio of 0.24:1 yet it still left the pad just fine.
Except all of it sped up from sub-realtime, hiding the performance lag. That's "positive" to the point of misleading. I get it: KSP2 being unplayable is screwing over content creators, but they're forced to pretend everything is fine, or else they have no content to show.

Hey Matt, I know you have already done this in KSP, but since there is a water takeoff launch location in this sequel, can you please attempt to recreate the Sea Dragon?
There's no campaign, and lots of performance issues on top of bugs. I'm going to wait a little bit for bug fixes. But on such a big game they need people testing it to speed up that process
Yeah, so will I. It is baffling that they decided to push the game in this state for the price they are asking. It's been over three years in development and this is really hard to justify this whole situation. I hope for the best with this game because I love KSP, but I'll wait a good while before buying it.
Def wait, it's not in early access state, it's a barely pre-alpha tech demo with pretty paint that's held together with duct tape. This is so most disappointed I have ever been with an early access title

I'm so glad you're making these videos, so I know it's not just me having problems in KSP2. Man, they said early access, but what they meant is "we haven't even begun to finish the game."
@@Lakita2880 Early access does not mean nearly finished. That is what the word has been essentially poisoned to mean. Early access means access to the game in an unfinished or very early state with the expectation for it to be buggy, lack features, etc. Early access is supposed to be for fans and enthusiasts, not for most people. The “poisoning” of the term early access started with Fortnite’s battle Royale mode in 2017.
I personally prefer the blunderbirds intro with ksp footage, reminds me of the good ol' days of ksp, which ties in to the whole "intro Looks like an old film" theme, aswell as the old space center looking a little better imo
Yknow, the dedication this man has towards these videos is more than amazing. He literally said he would sit through sub 10 frames to upload a video💀. YOU NEEEED MORE SUBS
11:37 yes matt because the 50 year old guy and the 35 year old business man in the waiting room with me will 100% know about KSP2 and want to watch with me
Love seeing multiple iteration runs. It makes us all feel better knowing not every one works well. Keep up the great work Matt! Can’t wait to see where KSP2 takes the channel! Best wishes, and best of luck with the algorithm kraken. ❤️😂
I really appreciate the time lapse in your building sequence. It gets 'to the point' a lot quicker, and allows me to enjoy the real "meat" of the video: the flying, crashing and explosions!
The only unbiased answer to the quesion "Should you buy this game?" is a definite "No.". Simple as that. This game is no No Man's Sky. It is also no Cyberpunk 2077. It is worse. You get to pay 50€ to be a literal internal QA-Tester. It is absolutely ridiculous.
I just had the same bug with disconnecting 2 crafts. When you undock the port from the craft that doesn't have main control (like main crew capsule), it works fine. But if you decouple from the other port, it all gets bad. It's even worse if you reload save with bugged decoupled crafts, they just get eaten by Kraken.
You can view thrust to weight ratio in the engineer's report bottom right of the screen. Also a warning to landing, if you quickload a save with a landing, at least one of the legs will just fall off and the vessel is completely unrecoverable unless you lift off immediately. Even then, the camera is stuck to a space between the legs and the ship.
What's even better about how broken docking ports are is that struts will reattach. If you do a apollo style mission and the two parts are strutted together when they dock the struts reconnect through the vessel
i think they should add all of the wing parts from KSP 1 along with the procedural wings so you could get more specific wing shapes and more accurate recreations.
You can pretty much recreate any wing shape you want, so you could just use multiple wings shaped to your liking. Making winged crafts is infinitely nicer now for me
I disagree. With the Procedual Wings, we can make the wings look like whatever we want. I'd rather us not have to put a wing together like fricken Legos.
I really liked your cuts to real time Matt in the Prerelease videos. Maybe a suggestion, if you like for situations like where your shuttle launch failure where your troubleshooting a cut to real-time for your reaction and thoughts about problem solving would be a neat way to mix it up. Love all your content!
I discovered by accident but if you have a kerbal falling down towards kerbin, if you activate their jetpack whilst they are falling and then deactivate it cancels out all downward momentum, so even though there are no parachutes in the game you can still ensure crew survival when in Eva reentry
I also encountered a bug where random kerbals would just be flying around near my ship in sandbox, as well as satellites and other debris from the main menu. Additionally encountered the camera bug where it centers nowhere near your ship
Oh man the color system is so good. I love that there is a proper chrome too, that's fantastic. I can't wait until it is optimized enough for me to get my hands on it. I've always wanted that for KSP. It really makes such a big difference in the aesthetic.
im happy to see that im not the only one who has continuously failed launches with ksp 2. i built so many simple rockets to go to the mun and out of nowhere mid flight my controls become inverted, craft starts rolling, missing power from my lander, or i get the lovely wobble. love your vids Matt
I've mentioned this before but the RAPIER engines should also really run on hydrogen (even though they don't) as the SABER engines they are based on IRL *do* run on hydrogen, and there is that natural synergy between nuclear engines and RAPIER
I reckon while still learning the game, this is the perfect method, fiveish minutes of a recent 'learning experience' or 'rapid unplanned disassembly' followed by a regular successful mission.
You can see the thrust to weight ratio in the VAB by going to the bottom right, you and other creators all seem to not be able to find it (despite it being in the tooltips that show up on new campaign)
Had to click when I saw !shuttle. Your KSP 1 shuttle videos are some of my favorite. I do like the single focused mission videos more, and seeing the build. It's alright to speed the build up some, usually only enough that someone could still pause to see what's going on if they wanted to though.
31:25 Partial Fix for broken docking ports: adding a decoupler in between the ports allows them to dock and be used as normal after what causes the glitch which I believe to be from staging your rocket. I did not play ksp 1 but from what I’ve read this was also a bug at some point in that game.
5:13 + I really like watching Kerbal content from you that has you at first struggling to solve a problem, then finally solving it-like the never ending battle against the kraken
Epic stuff Mr Lowne! way too early to make any comment on the format for KSP2 vids (countdowns and high speed builds and all) but I loved everything I saw! from the kerbals bobbing up and down in their little window as the shuttles land to the way our dear host was gracious enough to add extra fuel just so he could show off the craft from all angles with a double flip on booster seperation. KSP1, KSP2, space this week, I don't care, I'm there Matt. Thankyou for this grreat view into the KSP of the future(?)
i heard someone say something that would be very nice. wobbly rockets ARE good if you have a booster attached to only one decoupler cause it teaches you that you need more support. Also, a rocket that is stacked vertically should NOT be wobbly.
As someone who never uses autostrut in KSP 1, I can confirm that in 2 the rockets are way wobblier for some strange reason. Even very conservative stacks like 5 parts on top of an engine will almost comically compress when I turn the engine on in space.
The spin at 9:55 is why my reusable launcher is closer to Buran than the Space Shuttle. No big tank, but a proper rocket that the orbiter sits on. Plus the orbiter has air breathing engines added so that it can fly itself back to KSC from anywhere on the planet.
You can see your Dv for your stages by clicking the little blue arrow pointing left on the left side at the launch button. There is a bug were then you add any new stage it does not show it immediately, the only workaround is to press the launch button and then revert back to the vehicle assembly.
I had the same problem with the docking ports. Also the thing with the to fast music. You can probably ungroup the sound from the Video and just adjust the speed of the video. Then shorten the sound clip and put it underneath. Hope that makes sense.
This is a fun video. If you want to put a space station in orbit, though, might be easier to Skylab it? Put the station together and launch it with a giant rocket? If you want a larger station, maybe send up new sections in their own rockets? Sending it up in a shuttle could work, but with the struts as we saw them, it might be too much of a hassle. You COULD use a space shuttle to ferry crew back and forth, though. Only way I could properly see the shuttle ferry option working is if there's some kind of utility arm module like in the actual space shuttle.
17:18 I agree: sound-design and audio feedback is more than fine Holy shit. You rescued that Kerbal from orbit. I totally forgot what people can do. I never managed to properly learn rendezvous and docking.
It is complete garbage, they made a huge mistake releasing it in this state. They could do it for KSP 1 because that was over 10 years ago and a NEW game. This is just a glorified remake, not a sequel, and it is an absolute buggy mess that lacks a TON of stuff from KSP 1... completely disappointed TBH
Hey Matt I think that having separate videos per craft would be better. Also could you try building a long range laythe/kerbin flying wing ssto. Keep up the great work❤
To create an interstage shroud, you place an engine plate to the bottom of a fuel tank. You then place your engine of choice on the engine plate, and place a decoupler at the engine plate's bottom node. This should automatically create a interstage faring. The length of the interstage can be adjusted in the engine plate's tab in the parts manager.
The transfer manager also handles kerbals. I got stuck on Minmus with Kerbals in a hitchhiker and was about to end the mission because I couldn't figure out how to move them. Then I saw the transfer manager...great feature.
About the docking port bug, it wasn't the struts. It happened to me twice after I did an Apollo style mission. EVA obliterated the command module of the lander at first, second try: successful docking, moved the crew to the return vessel, undocked -> craft obliterated, 0 struts on board
the lighting looks quite good at night, the launchpad lights light up the rocket pretty well and so do the engines I believe the launch countdown would be suitable for important/dramatic launches. Like with Blunderbird launches.
Lol @ "the wings fell off" - in my mind I'm picturing you doing an interview for the news and it's basically a space version of "The Front Fell Off" video about the tanker ship whose front fell off.
I'm glad you captured getting flung off the shuttle into space so hopefully the devs will see it. Same thing happened to me so it must be fairly easy to reproduce.
I did like seeing the initial short failed craft followed by a different longer successful one. I changed it up and we can see what does and doesn’t work and you get to use failed craft content instead of scrapping it.
I appreciate all your work on ksp1 Matt and looking forward to your content on the new part 2. Your video helped me make my first ssto back in ksp 1. Keep it up.

2:30 I'm with you on struggling through low frame rate, but I'm confident in saying that Rapiers alone currently cause significant slowdown.
It might get old after a while but I love the countdown I think it makes the launch that much more of a spectacle 😁
17:18 I agree: sound-design and audio feedback is more than fine
Holy shit. You rescued that Kerbal from orbit. I totally forgot what people can do. I never managed to properly learn rendezvous and docking.
I have not been able to complete a single mission without a game breaking bug.
It is complete garbage, they made a huge mistake releasing it in this state. They could do it for KSP 1 because that was over 10 years ago and a NEW game. This is just a glorified remake, not a sequel, and it is an absolute buggy mess that lacks a TON of stuff from KSP 1... completely disappointed TBH
Hey Matt I think that having separate videos per craft would be better. Also could you try building a long range laythe/kerbin flying wing ssto. Keep up the great work❤
To create an interstage shroud, you place an engine plate to the bottom of a fuel tank. You then place your engine of choice on the engine plate, and place a decoupler at the engine plate's bottom node. This should automatically create a interstage faring. The length of the interstage can be adjusted in the engine plate's tab in the parts manager.
The transfer manager also handles kerbals. I got stuck on Minmus with Kerbals in a hitchhiker and was about to end the mission because I couldn't figure out how to move them.
Then I saw the transfer manager...great feature.
I love the single-focused mission style of your KSP 1 videos so if that is easier for you I'd love to see that in KSP 2!
About the docking port bug, it wasn't the struts. It happened to me twice after I did an Apollo style mission. EVA obliterated the command module of the lander at first, second try: successful docking, moved the crew to the return vessel, undocked -> craft obliterated, 0 struts on board
"I'm finally abre to play KSP2 at my own house, in my own PC, and the game won't start up lmao"
The TWR is hidden in the engineer's report, which is kind of dumb, but at least we do have it.
the lighting looks quite good at night, the launchpad lights light up the rocket pretty well and so do the engines
I believe the launch countdown would be suitable for important/dramatic launches. Like with Blunderbird launches.
6:15 "a fairly _challenging_ build"
I love your maybe-accidental jokes matt
I have so much hope for this game. I love KSP and community.
I think 1 countdown per video would be great. That way we still get it and multiple launches!
Lol @ "the wings fell off" - in my mind I'm picturing you doing an interview for the news and it's basically a space version of "The Front Fell Off" video about the tanker ship whose front fell off.
39:10 He really just spun INTO control
11:09 You have to look at the Engineer's Report, there you can see all the stats of your spacecraft including the Thrust/Weight Ratio
Only shows first stage TWR and only on kerbin.
"Go faster red stripes" - You've basically made a Moonraker!
I'm glad you captured getting flung off the shuttle into space so hopefully the devs will see it. Same thing happened to me so it must be fairly easy to reproduce.
Bring back the blunder birds
I did like seeing the initial short failed craft followed by a different longer successful one. I changed it up and we can see what does and doesn’t work and you get to use failed craft content instead of scrapping it.
I appreciate all your work on ksp1 Matt and looking forward to your content on the new part 2. Your video helped me make my first ssto back in ksp 1. Keep it up.
The blunderbirds music is "Colonel Bogey"!!!!!! I only just realised (its a great marching band peice)
