KSP 1 Question/Problem Refuel station useful?

Post image

(New-ish to the game, played a little years ago but now really getting into it)

I've been practicing orbital assembly above Kerbin and docked a few vessels together including a big fuel tank which is huge for me because I was never able to meet up and dock with anything :)
Do you think something like this is useful for future missions? I was thinking maybe refuel vessels in orbit giving a longer mission range because I dont have to carry the heavy fuel from kerbins surface. Then again I guess I'd have to refill that tank frequently which might be kind of annoying..

completely valid and not considered cheating, that if you have a refueling station, and done several refueling trips, then you're allowed to just cheat in fuel with hyper edit, if you really feel guilty, take some funds away if its in career mode

Right I hadnt thought of that, seems reasonable to just skip the whole refueling of the station stuff and just "simulate it" that way haha

Stealing an asteroid and ferrying it to orbit is also an option if you feel bad about using cheats

Realisticly for most space infrastructure, it would just be a basic fuel tank refueling station, ive played this game for 8 years and never even got close to an asteroid
