I am on an exploration mode save that's been cracking into T3 for a while now and finally going after ||the Tylo mission|| wanted to send 3 kerbals there just as a bit of a flex to do more than one and believe I bit off more than I can chew 😅

#

Would I just need to scrap the whole thing at this point and go from the ground up? It kinda feels like it ngl. Or is there an engine setup that could possibly salvage this?

use a smaller payload, build wide not tall, have 4-5k dv and a minimum of 3 twr @primal dagger

what's the TWR on the craft? the delta looks good

also, when landing on tylo, you kinda need to not only slow down sideways but also point upwards to avoid crashing too early

#

assuming you're coming from a low orbit, which you should do

have you been using the cheat menu to test the lander? or do you send it to tylo every time

#

can you send the craft file here? so i can do some testing with it

#

to get the craft file, pick up your rocket in the VAB (click it so you select everything), then press ctrl + c

#

then in discord type ctrl + v

#

if it says the message is too large, send it as an attachment

Yeah, pointing between radial out and retrograde is key. I was able to land with a starting acceleration of 1.8 g. I don't think 3 g is necessary.
