Kerbal Planetary Base Systems

[MrDieALot]

i have tried to built a base using this system, taken it in small modules to mun complete with 3 engineers and tools and parts needed. my problem is i cannot connect any of the modules together, i have used plain corridors on their own, corridors with both types of corridor docking ports attached. I have even used the Cross Way. Nothing i seem to do will get the modules to attach to each other. Ive tried placing 2 modules close together then getting a kerbal to attach a corridor, ive tried driving a module with a corridor attached ( which a kerbal can do with no prob) at the 2nd module but it just bounces off. so is this a prob with the mod or am i a simpleton / idiot. i am playing in career mode invested over 1.25 million currency and have 5 kerbals stranded in an incomplete base.

HELP

please

Are the docking ports facing right and have the same height (I mean was thier in the middle,
sometimes the editor don´t put it in the middle). I test it always on kerbin before I shot it on a
other planet/moon (launch it from sph then drive on the grass and launch the next module
to test if it docks right). Onetime I have it docked, but all wheels on one modul was damaged
(it mountet one docking port not right in the middle).

So here are a few tips...

• You need docking ports to dock modules together.

• Assign an action group to raise and lower the wheels.
  
• Hold down the Alt key while placing your parts together in the VAB to ensure they connect by their green dots and not do a surface attach.
  
• The Meerkat, Planetary Adapter, and end airlock are designed to have landing legs attached. Landing legs are designed to have wheels attached to them. You can build these as a subassembly with the wheel action group for easy building.
  
• Reassign rover wheel control keys from WASD to IJKL.
  
• You can click your own airlock and "Control from here."
  
• You can click on another module's airlock within 200m and click "Select as Target."
  
• You can then use the navball to ensure you are appoaching just right.
  
• Sometimes jumping by raising/lowering landing gears or wheels while you are close will get the game to finally dock the modules.
  
• A 3-star engineer can repair broken wheels. The easiest way to train said engineer is to have him plant a flat on Minmus, briefly leave Kerbin's SOI (target Kerbin and burn back shortly after doing so to return home) to enter the sun's orbit, and plant a flag on the Mun.

i like to dock KBPS modules on the side..

i recommend testing all your surface bases in the grass near the KSC ..

afaik, the only mod that can connect parts that are already out of the VAB (without a docking port) is KIS/KAS

[MrDieALot]

i have kis/kas, i checked admittedly after base had landed on mun with same saved pods from the sph on the grass behind the centre.
1 the docking ports line up
2 i can not highlight the docking ports to set them as, control from and target
set, but i can mouse over them to get them highlighted and the pointer text then says docking ports.

i have the following mods installed does any one know if any of these cause a conflict.

Is it possible that you simply installed the docking ports backwards? I don't really remember what the ones in PBS look like, but that's the most common problem with the 2.5m port. Is it obvious which side is meant to be docked with?

Since your stuff is already on the Mun, you could just push it together to make it look good and use KAS to link them. Just run a pipe between them or something.

If people can help you connect it together good.
There is nothing wrong with planetary base system and its life support as far as I can tell.
If people can just help you connect it together you be golden.

[MrDieALot]

good idea Bubba Fett i forgot you can make it one structure using pipes then struts at least i will earn my money even if it does look s**t
many thanks to all
