    Game Version v2026.8.5.5168 Operating System Windows 11 What Happened After crashing a ship on the surface, the camera remains at the crash site.

    Solved Docking port petals clip into each other.

    The docking port seems to be rotated now by default, so they no longer overlap. Even giving them a custom rotation results in the correct overlap.

    Game Version 2026.7.9.5018 Windows 11 What Happened Nose to nose docked craft do not respect new direction of "active" capsule or engine. This means if you do an Apollo style mission, and attempt to fire retrograde with the CSM engine for Lunar orbital insertion, it will instead face...

    New plumes pixelated

    I see the same, and it's very obvious when firing retro, as the pixels are noticeable against the contrasting fuselage.

    Tools gatOS mod release

    So far, I've managed to make a ship rotate 90° using Python. It's been a while since I've done any kOS, and sort of forgot about quaternions. Anyway, what frames are available? Attitude_frame gives me EclBody usually, but sometimes VlfBody. When I tried pointing up the Z axis, (0.7071 0.7071...

    Game Version v2026.6.8.4680 Operating System Windows 11 What Happened When docking a craft that was previously separated to two parts, the redocked craft isn't docking at the docking port, but at some offset point. This either leads to a merged craft, or one separated, yet acting as a single...

    The timewarp is really laggy

    I've reproduced this bug. I'll attach the savegame and video clip. I don't think it's the RCS, as I just verified it happens with this savegame even when RCS is set to manual on all craft. In my experience, at some point timewarp sped back up, maybe on SOI change. My specs v2026.5.12.4510...

    Lunar landing mission from Earth surface launch - Apawlo style / Challenge!

    Took a few weeks to finally build the Caturn V to land kittens on the Moon in the Kitten Space Agency pre-alpha. I even got most of them back safely! I used the more realistic L91 engines, as the debug engine would have made it too easy. Without the larger diameter fuel tanks, this vehicle...
