Hello, everyone. I'm brand spanking new to SR/J:NE and I have a problem. I'm making a moon rocket. And the lander is connected to the main craft with a docking port. When I stage, everything works fine. But as soon as I undock, everything stops working. The motors don't fire, neither do the RCS thrusters, and the gyro doesn't work either. Yes, I did remember to transfer the crew beforehand, so don't bother asking.
I put this in questions because I didn't see any topic specifically labeled "help," so I hope that's alright.
Correction!: The gyro on the lander does work, but the module has absolutely no control over anything else after undocking
Nevermind, don't need help anymore
Apparently I just forgot to click "take control" as well...
Give your lander a separate Chip. Not all parts have to be staged. Some can work with Activation groups, or turned on manually by clicking on the part and turning it on on the bottom of pop-up manu of the selected part.
