Thanks!

My crowning achievement was getting a couple of base parts touched down on Duna and docking them together using a transport vehicle. It was such a nightmare! I wanted to build a whole base but by the time I got two parts together I had to take a break and haven’t been back to it in a while. I was waiting for KSP 2 but I guess that’s going to be another year or so. Hopefully they’re going to have a slightly less finicky system for connecting parts together either on the ground or in orbit. I heard there are going to be colonies...

I never had much luck with ground bases. I tend to build orbital refineries and have ships bring the ore from the surface to refuel the various missions.
This game eats far too much of my time!
