Open Fuel tanks

[bike 1]

Hey all, I have just installed this app on my Android and I love it. I have built a space station partially out of white fuel cells. The problem is that the fuel gauges on the left side go up the whole screen. Is there a way to hide these? It's making docking more and more difficult. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum dude.

There isn't any way of hiding the UI in game. You're stuck with working around it, scrolling slightly or making your station with less single fuel tanks

Apart from combining tanks in design, try and incorporate welded fairings when you can instead of tanks

Thanks for the quick reply guys!

It actually really helps in detailing builds if you avoid adding unnecessary tanks anyways.

Agree. Specially for shuttles, I use the smallest number of fuel tanks possible.

I’m not sure but I gather capacity of tanks is a massive lag factor in space stations as each tank collection has its own fuel level and so avoid using lots of little tanks like that

It certainly is, but nothing resembling structural parts.

AND Solar Panels.

But we all forsake fuel and structural parts in the name of max solar don’t we?

I can solve this problem

I cannot solve this problem but can solve it 50%.
Just tilt your screen and play.

I think I solved it. View attachment 36938

Let me guess, you de-docked one of the solar modules at the end, switched to it and re-docked?
Works fine for photo ops, but a hassle to do every time you open the game...

But he only wanted to watch his Space station perfectly.

If the docking became harder.
So rotate your screen and play.

Yeah, sometimes is convenient to keep the SPs closed and open them just for screenshots or vídeos.
