  1. Past hour
  2. Since you have both Near Future Construction and Near Future Launch Vehicles but not CryoTanks, the LFOX (Liquid Fuel + Oxidizer) tank type should be being supplied by GameData/NearFutureConstruction/Patches/NFConstructionFuelTankTypes.cfg but I don't see it in your log.
  3. Well the societies where people work together for the betterment of all rather than themselves alone have been dead for four centuries so it would make sense you’ve never seen them. If there’s a certain way we’re “built” psychologically it’s because there was a builder, and it occurred based on how we’re educated in youth. Advances in human history have been built on people thinking beyond what they were taught or what they had seen. No one told Columbus to go sail west, and no one told any settler to move somewhere else. The way they were raised told them to stay put as their fathers and forefathers had, but they ignored what they knew and made a decision of their own. If we can’t grow beyond the behaviors and systems that were set up and indoctrinated a few centuries ago I don’t think we’re going to last long at all, whether on Earth or on Mars. I never said all companies exist to make money. But money would be required to build a Mars colony, thus I assumed SpaceX is the type of company that needs to make it. And there are things they already have to pay for. Support infrastructure, paying their workers, maintaining and refurbishing rockets. Contracts in LEO and on the Moon. What will be left over for Mars? The colony, that is. I don’t know why you’d see what I write as a complaint. He can try, but if he fails, we shouldn’t give up. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not saying he shouldn’t, I’m saying we can’t limit ourselves to simply hoping a billionaire will do it all for us. When I say “we” I mean humanity. Not specifically you or I. I’m skeptical industry will ever be moved to space. It makes no economic sense either, because it’s easier to build factories on Earth. The cost of shipping something across the land or sea is much lower than shipping stuff to and from space. If governments signed off on regulations banning industry on Earth, then they’d do it. But corporations don’t really do massive “save the Earth/environment” type stuff unless they’re forced to. Otherwise they largely prefer the little things that look good for PR but don’t incur too much cost. The issue with automation is that it would leave people with nowhere to go. Eventually robots would be building robots, writing code, and repairing robots, and those robots would replace all jobs except government and management. There would be no need for humans. How are people supposed to pay for Starlink if they have no job? And then companies wouldn’t be making money and it would all collapse. There’s talk of UBI and what not, but at that point people would more or less be receiving necessities for free, obviating the money. Corporations would have the power to do things simply based on whether they have the resources to produce enough robots to do it, gained by cooperation with another corporation, which also just needs to produce enough robots to harvest the resources. If people are getting necessities for free and don’t have any way to work, because robots are doing everything, corporations wouldn’t really be making money off people by selling goods and services, they’d just be providing it with no return. A Mars colony suddenly becomes feasible not “economically” but simply on whether people want to do it or not. At which point it seems you’ve brought us to my point: How can we think beyond our existing economics in support of space colonization? It goes back to my original post when this thread was revived: thinking about profitability and affordability (both in terms of money) as a means of making space colonization feasible is silly.
  4. Pizza oven made pepperoni sentient mutations with mushroom brains and peanuts, caramelized onions and garlic salmon, and Pacific geoduck ——— my addition is a type of clam hence 2 words as its a name. @Kimera Industries i figured it was a glitch given its end of term and busy, its also why i made no changes on that post. We be human, we mitsakes maek. Good it all is. 171104242024
  5. Serious question, what are the easy-to-profit-from ways? Things with lower margins but near guaranteed markets. Long game. Food, shelter, (alcohol, tobacco, and firearms?)
  6. Granted. You don't know who played, though. I wish for this wish not to be granted.
  7. Pizza oven made pepperoni sentient mutations with mushroom brains and peanuts, caramelized onions and garlic salmon, and @AlamoVampire I think he forgot to go to the most recent page when he scrolled to the bottom to see where the current sentence was at.
  8. Today
  9. Show me where I said that finding bugs is the same as fixing bugs. I said that I think that bugs are not a priority to whoever delegates tasks to the QA team. Show me where I made any reference to their workflow. Look @The Aziz, its cool you don't agree with me on most things; echo chambers suck, but could you at least try to understand where I am coming from? Every time I reply to you, it seems that I am having to clarify my point to you because you want to prove me wrong. I'm not here to be "right," I'm here to have a discussion with other individuals who are passionate about KSP and spaceflight in general. The impression I get from you is that you take pleasure in reading how I got something incorrect. Remember buddy, you never learn if you never make a mistake.
  10. I think the missing link is the unexpected commercial success and the Shuttle woes. Basically, at roughly the time you'd have expected a resurgence of government space spending, instead the mamy-named Russian space industry first began to scoop up commercial space launches, and then it got the biggest one of all - the Soyuz seat-sharing agreement with NASA. I think at this point a dubious decision was made to wean it off into a commercial venture, despite little evidence that it would be sustainable, which was promptly exemplified in the pre-Rogozin disaster spree. Premature attempts to monetize something are not an uncommon problem, and politically it's rather difficult to fish not for a one-time bailout, but a near-permanent garden hose of money.
  11. Yeah it's not really readable However I have this little browser plugin that allows me to reverse search any picture I click on - and through it I can in fact open the large picture. It's those
  12. Two more days till we get some information… fingers crossed
  13. @QuiescentRabbitt We initially kept your report thread separate from this bug report due to wanting to catalogue how this bug may have changed post-0.2.0.0, however we've seen no significant change in it, as such we've merged it into this report thread
  14. My question would be if this is lack of resources rather than lack of interest in space. Part of the reasons the Soviets were underfunded is because the CPSU had economic issues and the task of building up the nuclear arsenal on their hands. There probably wasn’t money to afford fully funding everything even if they wanted to. Is it the same in Russia? Apart from the obvious “if we spent a fraction of what we do on military on space we’d be on Mars by now” that can apply to all of the big three (US/RU/CHN).
  15. @Beale I was wondering if you would be able to update the description to go with my new username (well not new anymore but you get the idea)
  16. There's a large gap between finding bugs and fixing them. A bug found, reproduced, recorded and reported is not sent to a dev with "fix now pls" note attached to it. How dare they have an organized workflow smh
  17. "QA Testing vs. Playtesting" Whatever its called, it is blindingly obvious that only very specific things are being tested/fixed. My guess is that the QA team knows all about the issues in KSP2, but they gotta do what their bosses tell them to do, and their bosses have a different priority. I know that people on the QA team revert to launch a few times and see their craft get borked. I know they paused the game with a plane onscreen for a few minutes and watched the wheels slowly float away. I know they add more Dv than the game says they need because the game is wrong. I know they are getting good at maneuvering without maneuver nodes or orbit lines. I could go on. Ask any KSP Youtuber about their experience. Here is Matt Lowne's: https://twitter.com/Matt_Lowne/status/1779599922628636991
  18. Hi can you send me the mod save data folder. its at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program 2\ModSaveData"
  19. Never said I did. I'm just waiting to see whether they fulfill they're promise. I'm not giving them a free pass but I'm trying to be more patient. You don't have to give them time but I will. If they didn't tell us then how do you know that they are scrapped? News this week. And nothing I have said is untrue either. I am not ignoring facts. I am simply seeing the facts at a different angle and presenting them in a different way that isn't so pessimistic. The issue in my opinion is that everyone thinks that their angle is the right one and that any other thing is some delusion based on untrue thoughts or facts. And that's not just true in the KSP community. It's true in a lot of different places. But everyone has their own opinion and a different way to look at what is presented to us. There are no wrong outlooks. I see what you are saying and I do not personally agree. There is nothing really to "see". Everything and anything that we all say are just opinions and outlooks based on past occurrences. If you personally know the inner workings of Intercept and can give me conclusive proof that we definitely will never get better communication or a more stable game then I will completely back track on everything I have ever said defending the game.
  20. @adsii1970 uh?? I thought we were on: Pizza oven made pepperoni sentient mutations with mushroom brains and peanuts, caramelized onions and garlic salmon ?? 151204242024 new page at 151304242024 wheeee
  21. Then yeah, EA state makes sense. Understanding and continuing development the code of other people is a lot harder than writing it yourself from scratch... In most cases.
  22. A transmission is a brilliant idea! I think there is a happy medium between the current wheels that seem more at home racing around the runways at KSC and the "rock climbing" style wheels Regex would like.
