@comrade22, the issue is with the SDS Operational Script. There's already a fixed version; just load it up and enjoy! (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485188140)

works on the warfare evolution update not after (tested)

Broken for anyone new btw, the sds script no longer loads in, manually loading doesn't work either

I go to run something and a blue screen appears. How can I fix this?

control screen error

The return to base isnt working after a edge drop, yes i pasted the cords

Confirmed are the thrusters, vanilla one only have 440kN aprox... I tested with this mod and works: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1785289748&searchtext=hydrogen+thrusters

I think the rocket doesn't launch because the Hy large Thrusters are not powerful for the rocket mass, I launchett and the rocket try to get out but it cant, to heav y think

So I've gone through the basic set up, once I hit launch, the ship clicks a few times, and then relocks to the surface and the thrusters never fire.

In-game scripts are turned on, i've clicked on orbit whilst in control of orbitalcontroller. and i've t
ticked the launch button but itdoesn't do anything.

@Flapjack117 Hi, the rocket is by default set to Eart-like gravity edge, and this value is different for every planet in SE. Please see the description to adjust it.

@RedRobot hey, I don't know. You would need to provide more details, like for instance - are in-game scripts enabled in your world settings, what steps did you take to launch it, etc. I'm not able to help without knowing any details

why doesn't it launch?

I've tried that twice, it didn't work. I do have scripts on. Works like a charm on Earthlike though, one of the best builds I've seen.

Hi @Flapjack117, in the K-menu of the rocket look for those timer blocks: Timer Block - Edge"/"Timer Block - 40KM"/"Timer Block - Space.

Inside each of them there's only 1 action - "Programmable Block - Altitude Trigger - run".
Remove this action, and run the Programmable Block - Altitude Trigger with the following command: "8000;Timer Block - Deploy".

8000 indicates the altitude you want your rocket to deploy the payload.

After this is done, get to the control panel, in the "Type" section select a mission type, for example "Edge (laser sat)", in the "Mission" tab select the amount of thrust you need for the payload, and select "Launch" to start the mission.

Can you give more detailed instructions for adjusting the altitude? I'm trying to launch this from Triton, but I can't figure out how to set the correct altitude (~8070m).

I like how this is a realistic rocket. Nice.

Try pasting it over voxels, for instance a frozen lake, and make sure that the in-game scripts are enabled in the world settings

pasted the blueprint into creative and it almost always destroys itself even if I put as close to the floor as possible it'll just bump and flip over. when it does land the control menu doesnt work so idk how to even launch it cuz i cant take control.

There's a possibility that the size of the planet was changed and thus the altitude trigger didn't work as intended. Anyway - I'm glad that you made it work :)

alright I have no idea, what the problem was but I just redownloaded the blueprint and now all the missions work beautifully (well edge at least so I am assuming the others work now as well). i guess steam just decided to mess something up the first time xD

@pro100tv I have tested it on the earthlike planet. it flies up and stops just right before the gravitational pull ends. Also when selecting the mission should there be a little check in the box next to the mission or is it normal, that it remains empty?

Hey @Senpi SkyRage, what is the planet you're trying to launch the rocket from? (earth-like, mars, alien, etc.)

I have the same problem as boobies. I launch the rocket (I tried all three launch settings) and then it just sits in space. it flies up, gets rid of the nosecone and... does nothing. it doesnt even deploy it's cargo or anything, let alone come back to the waypoint I set. even though I did everything like you did it in the video

Noted a while ago with this that the antenna/beacon ranges are set to 20km or something (have to confirm). That is a problem on most servers as they have that roaming AI mod and they keep getting attracted to the the output. Any way to preset a ground based laser antenna and the laser antenna in the ship prior to launch?

Also, I tried this a few times and the best I got was that it launched, created a few way points but didn't deploy anything. I jetpacked up to see the satellites and there was nothing there. It's been awhile since I investigated this and will post more once I do.

Correct, I would not recommend exceeding 260k kg due to poor fuel economy above that value

Just wanna confirm, the RN-2 lift vehicle can lift a total payload of 226 thousand Kg to 42km? I am looking for a space craft delivery vehicle.

lovely presentation

I need help, it doesn't let me control the rocket when I access it...

it just fly's away

Hey @TravR1, check if the in-game scripts are enabled in your world settings

I'm having a hard time getting the initial setup to work properly. The orbit screen is only a circle, and half of the setup screen is blue.Nothing changes when I press the buttons as well. Im not very good with scripts, so i dont know how to solve it

@Aperson I don't know, I've never tested it with real orbits

does this work with the real orbits mod?

I GET THE ROCKET NOT 90 DEGREE ANGLE :(

Amazing! It would be awesome to see something like this integrated with Echthros's Real Orbits mod :D

Sweet thanks! Last question, before we set up the mission and hit launch, do we need to manually connect the connector on the bottom so the rocket can load up on hydrogen?

Hey jlink33, Space Engineers considers everything that's placed on rotor, piston, hinge, etc. as a subgrid and does not allow to project it with the main grid.
You could instead weld those two lcd's by hand and rename them to "Operating system" and "OrbitDisplay".
After doing so, recompile "Programmable Block - SDS" and "OrbitalAutopilot - Programmable Block" to update the scripts with new lcd's.
Screens should work since that point.

When I build this through a projector, it does not have any of the panels on the piston nor the magnet plates on the bottom pistons. Do I need to enable supergridding?

Thanks ^^

Hey, the speed mod will interfere, you can change the altitude you want the rocket to deploy the cargo tho. The second video is a tutorial, that shows how to adjust it.

hey first, excellent mod and rocket design :)

but something strange happens when I program it to take off into orbit or where else, for example, an orbit bear or a laser rocket each time gives full power without stopping I fly in hell I have a mod with a max speed of 1000 possible that it bothers?

As a basic just BnR, multigrid and drillsystem. From the server dude, "Earthlike is the same as vanilla except with water and some texture differences" so would I be right on saying that it should work a the planets are the same? 42500m should be fine? Can program blocks detect level of gravity then when it reaches 0.2 etc, auto deploy? Ie make that a variable, not a static figure?

@Boobies Do you have any mods installed? Also if you try to launch it from a different planet than Earth with default diameter you may need to adjust the deploy altitude.
The rocket deploys it's cargo based on the set altitude and if it escapes the gravity well of the planet before that altitude, the deploy phase just won't trigger.

Awesome blueprint :) I'm having the same issue as [XOG]Jake[ST] below; it keeps shooting off into space without deploying. I'd love to use this rocket in survival so do you have any tips?

Is the laser satellite in the default module supposed to solar panels?

Really like the look could it be possible to convert this to a manual rocket?

@idk_what_im_am

Same issue here, mine won't launch either. Sometimes it does, other times it doesn't. It just unlocks it's landing gears, sits there for a few seconds, then relocks.

Additionally, I have a problem on the "Orbital" launch option. The rocket goes out of planetary gravity, the ion thrusters turn on on the top, but the rocket just keeps going into space without deploying. I have an infinite speed mod that could be making it do that.

yea my word has scripts on

Do you have scripts on?

For me it wont even launch xd
