Kerbal Space Program 1.9 is another Minor Update to the game which includes a number of enhancements, Graphical updates, model changes and some really useful changes for Helicopter design.However it also includes a valve that lets you dump fuel, and I thought I’ve try to figure out how to use this for good!
This will probably be fixed in 1.9.1
Been a subscriber for years now. Thank you for the years of entertainment. CONGRATS ON 1M SUBS!!! And I’m ready to start watching your KSP2 tutorials!
Gunna keep liking these KSP vids in prep for 2 and to let the algorithm know.
Scott was just waiting to pounce on this one!
We can use this drain thing while RCS
I saw this coming, and I knew it’d be you.
I mean, at this point, you should make an entire channel called somthing like “Kerbal Science Programs”
Devs: Finally! The game looks fine… Time to release it!
Users: Lets find new ways to break the game using its new mechanics
I read ‘drain valves’ but all i saw was ‘manhole cover’ in my mind brain.
I’m calling this “THE RETURN OF INFINIGLIDE”.
Mr. Manley congratulations, you broke the game logic xD
(there wasn’t much of it before tbh)
I knew this video was inevitable when I saw that fuel dumping caused thrust
Back in the day you would be landing on the mun with just drain valves, lol
I love engines with the togglable shrouds, it makes them fit on a lot of different shapes without looking too weird, like on a sphere or on the side of a tank instead of the end.
1:55 Hahahaha!
> 1/3rd of the video – “Yay! there’s a new update!”
> 2/3rds of the video – “Let’s massively exploit this bug I found”
Never change Scott.
The KSP equivalent of the real life EM drive bug
when i install clouds on 1.9 all my oceans have invisible water, how is yours working?
Ah, it’s always nice to see the game getting broken xD
Oh, so youre using different intro songs for different video themes, this time its something like “stupid ideas”
Matt Lowne: “they give off a bit of thrust but dont be using them to get to orbit”
Scott Manley: “hold my rocket fuel”
Hey, you guys remember airhogging?
I remember reading on the Kerbal wiki that Intake air is also a type of fuel, but isn’t mentioned by the game.
This confirms that statement.
Not even watched it yet and already I class this as “Peak Kerbal”.
Oh this brings me back… anyone else remember back when you could stack air intakes to make jets and R.A.P.I.E.R.s super efficient?
love when you hop in Kerbal!
lol when i saw these i was wondering when scott was gonna do this.
Can’t wait for the next video titled “Getting to and landing on the Mun with Drain Valves???”
I knew that someone was gonna do this lmao
Noice! I was recently thinking of your old series on KSP the other day and fired it up on the Xbone. What a treat to see this !
Drain valves and infinite fule?
Just saying, seems like a way to really abuse these.
Can you attach it to a electric motor, use it as a perpetual motion machine? Lol
Tabloids are ranting about a “near impact” in about 1 hour from now. Let’s hope it’ll fly safe.
“is it a bug or a feature?” yes.
Though, i want to try hooking them up as compressed air thrusters for rcs purposes on vtol craft like the old b9 parts
*3 days after update of Drain Valves*
Scott Manley: I am about to end this man’s whole career
“thermal staging” ha! 🤣
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Scott Manley: I made a plane that runs on imagination and air.
as soon as I saw those drain valves I wondered “how long before scott goes to orbit with these”
4:18 man this is beautiful
I love how broken the drain valves are. How do you drain intake air? Idfk, ask Jeb
“thermal staging” hahaha
Ksp breaking physic since 2010
5:17 I remember how disappointed I was when Perl rolled up to 5.10 from 5.8, instead of 6.0.
I’m not sure if anyone cares about Perl 6 anymore.
Hey Scott, could you do a video about russia modern space program ? any topic you like!
P.S
Your chanel is one of the best in youtubeverse
KSP: Let us add this new thing with physics!
Players: Oh! We can abuse this!
KSP: Damnit..
Draining intake air to produce thrust. Welcome to Dwarf Fortress!
I wonder if they fixed that bug yet…
“Thermal Staging” LOL
everybody: please, please make KSP Interstellar 2!
Scott Manley: release valve rocket to orbit!!
Dear Squad, please never fix this bug.
1:50 they are finally right xDxDxD
The first time I heard about this feature it was said that it was not a viable source of propulsion.
The second time I hear it people are getting to orbit
Never change KSP
“Drain safe”
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Scott: produce thrust with drain valves.
Jet engine companies: Bankrupt.
“Things a MS in Computational Physics Doesn’t Teach”
as soon as you said intake air i lost my mind laughing. i love you scott manley.
Darn it, I’m away from my computer and I miss out on something like this
Alternative title: “Draining Intake Air for Fun and Profit”
Ah yes nothing like combining sewage and rockets
Ah, old-school Manley, teaching us how to exploit KSP bugs for fun and profit
Congrats on millionaire, you earned that gold play button!!!!!!!!
“Thermal Staging” rofl
You should patent that :
I was just going to use these as simply emergency fuel dumpers on my in-atmospheric jets Incase a new design goes wrong, but these sounds more fun
Scott Manley: HERO! DRAIN POWER! Gonna try it with my sink as soon I find my pipe wrench.
me: but why!
Scott: Yes!
“the air powering thrust is constantly replenished you can fly forever!”
Wait that’s illegal
This is what happens when we get nice things
Putting a wind turbine in the between intake and exause and you get infinite power!
Drain valves??? I just relazied i haven’t played Ksp in a long time…
Man, I havn’t played ksp since 1.3. I’m missing out on a lot of cool stuff
I’m picturing the cursed mod where the kerbals have Scott’s face. Imagine him just floating in space on a chair attached to a drain valve.
Other KSP Youtubers: “New update, check out all the new features!”
Scott Manley: “New fuel drain valves are bugged, let’s see if we can use them to get to orbit!””
I updated to 1.9 without a single mod breaking. Truly a blessed moment
I missed your Kerbal videos – great to see one again
This reminds me of another method used back in the days of alpha, spamming intakes.
“Thermal staging”… that’s gold.
LOL!! That’s so broken!! We essentially have infinite aircraft fuel in atmo now!!
Wait, what is this airplane conspiracy thing about? Compressed air? Why?!
Sees the title: “uhm… what?”
*_”LUDICROUS SPEED – GO!”_** — SPACEBALLS [1987]*
😊😊😊
KSP 2 should be renamed:
KSP 2: Flying Safe
I would love – LOVE – if you did another longplay of KSP from the start.
Scott Manley in 2012: Let’s get to Eeloo Apollo style!
Scott Manley in 2020:
And that ladys and jentlemen, after all, they finally added
*NUCLEAR THERMAL RAMJETS* XD
Scott Manley: Founds bug that allows drain valves to use intakeAir
Physics: “Wait, that’s illegal….”
Squad dev team: “We should finally just give the players a way to dump fuel”
Scott Manley: “New way to get into orbit!”
Squad Nerf team: *Triggered*
“KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME WITH NO EXPLOITS”
— The Spiffing Scottish-American.
I want somebody to name a real engine “Drain Valve”. As in “There goes Falcon 10 powered to orbit by nine Drain Valve engines.”
When I heard that they will be added I 100% expected Scott to try to get into orbit with the. Well here we go.
Squad: “After 20 years we finally upgraded the graphics!”
Also Squad: “By putting trees above the snow line on top of a mountain!”
never change squad
“I made an aircraft!”
“What’s it powered by?”
“Air, duh.”
Scott Manley: I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Update is a few days out
Scott: lets use this bug and make a full video out of it.
Congratulations, you just one-upped Wiley Coyote’s fan-powered sailcar.
“thermal staging”
So basically it’s a jet engine but you forgot to turn the engine on.
‘Oh, the rocket isn’t exploding, it’s just thermal staging!’
‘Oh, we haven’t crashed the rocket into the ground, we are just lithobraking!’
Oh, Danny is going to have a field day with this one
when you can accelerate yourself using pure air without using any energy
*physiks*
Scott Manley 2030: KSP – Getting to orbit by thinking about it.
Ah, of course, why didn’t we think of draining the atmosphere out the back of the plane before? If we drain it all out the back eventually there won’t be any left in front of us anymore, and we’ll be in space.
I dub thee “The Politician”; a rocket that runs on nothing but hot air.
