Please create a tutorial video that describes how to create spacecraft like the Soyuz. I was looking at the engine parts where they cluster 4 engines on the side boosters. I can't seem to get the symmetrical look that the person that created that craft was able to achieve.

Another annoyance is when looking at that craft. I wasn't able to "tear apart" the pieces that made that part of the side boosters.

Experimenting on the Fuel Adapter, I would attach an engine to a fuel tank, only to find I wasn't able to break them apart later.

I need help on this part of the game. Thanks!

    OK, I figured out why object were sticking together and not being able to be pulled apart. If the command module or chip is not connected to the objects you are working with, you will not be able to pull them apart.

    I still don't know how to arrange the engine modules to the bottom of a fuel tank. The "Symmetry" system only works if the items are attached to the sides of the fuel tanks. So trying to arrange 4 or 5 engines to the bottom of a fuel tank is extremely difficult.

    @AN2Felllla Yes, of course I went through the building tutorials. I have also used the symmetry tool. Neither helps when trying to mount an engine cluster like the Saturn V's for example. The center engine is easy, how do you mount the other 4. They don't stick to the fuel tanks.

    If by some dumb luck you do get them to stick, you can't "unstick" them. You have to throw away the entire build, fuel tank, engines and all, and start again.

    I can build a simple single engine rocket, fins and all, but if I want to go further. Build a rocket like the Falcon series by SpaceX, I need to understand how to mount multiple engines.

    You should do the building tutorial.

    Use the symmetry tool.
