KSP Tethers

Dynamic, flowing EVA tethers and ship-to-ship cables for KSP 1.12.x.

Kerbals get a reel-mounted umbilical that clips onto any part or another kerbal, and can carry the free end to another ship to rig a cable between vessels. The rope is fully simulated: it floats in zero-g, sags on the Mun, streams in atmosphere, drapes over hulls instead of clipping through them, and pulls when it runs out of slack.

Features

• Simulated rope that behaves correctly in orbit, landed, and in atmosphere
• Tethers between anything: kerbal to part, kerbal to kerbal, ship to ship
• Reel that pays out automatically and can haul kerbals back to the hatch
• Rescue a stranded kerbal by reeling them in from the ship
• Lifeline that carries power and life support to the suit (TAC-LS, Kerbalism)
• Seven cable styles and a toolbar app to manage everything
• Optional auto-tether when leaving a hatch in space

Requirements

• KSP 1.12.x
• Module Manager (required)
• ToolbarControl and ClickThroughBlocker (recommended)
