Im trying to make my own mod that integrates into MKS, for that I also want to make a Tundra series part that supports the new type of converter option I plan to add, but to do that I need to know what the font used on the tXX files (in UmbraSpaceIndustries/MKS/Assets, for example t42) is, so I can write the name of the type of part while staying in the same style. I tried using a couple online font identification tools, but all of them only gave out paywalled fonts that I wasnt even fully sure were the correct ones.
Can anybody here tell me what that font is?tbh.. I don't even remember. Those were done a very long time ago.

Cool, but it's pretty annoying that when I want to check all my Kerbals' life support statuses that there's about 5 billion vessels to check.
Crew capabilities are also shared - so you're free to move them into the hab modules for your base so you have less to check. Also if you have 5 billion vessels in the save, you probably have other issues

How does everyone seem to get their base all connected with multiple launches? When I do it, my modules are all over the place, not connected. How do people do this??
I don't
MKS was built with full support for disconnected bases. So stuff shares within 150m for most stuff, longer distances for others.

I just built a huge ship with 28 Near Future nukes for power. It maintains the energy just fine but the exotic matter conversion doesn't keep up so it will run for 54 minutes without stopping for charge. I am using the 3.75m Z-Model. The question I have is what is the top speed on it? I added the Strange New Worlds mod. At present calculations it's going to take me 25 days of around the clock play to get there. It's only supposed to be a little over 4 light years away. Something isn't adding up here
. Is there any way to get this going any faster?
Mess with the config at your own risk.

How well does MKS scale with Career Mode Funding and the Community Tech tree in terms of the gameplay? I've read elsewhere that the parts are fairly well positioned with the CTT. But, does working through the tech tree help "teach" MKS--a seemingly quite difficult/complex mod--in a sensible manner (from just getting supplies slapped on a capsule to later on opening up the ability to recycle/mine/build baes etc) ?
Or could it be better to just open the tech tree via cheats and have all the parts available to work out how they function via trial/error and the helpful guides in say Science Mode for example?
That's really up to you to be honest. But it's designed with CTT in mind for those doing a career playthrough.

Can we know what sort of game are you making?
I'll let @DoktorKroggtake this one
Though I will say it involves robots!

I've wanted to ask, will you be moving this mod to KSP 2 once mod supports gets added?
Sitting tight as there's a lot of overlap, and I'd like to see where KSP2 lands first.
56 minutes ago, Terwin said:Looking at the roadmap, he might be putting a lot of it into the core KSP2 game.
It might be more enlightening to ask if he intends to migrate his LS mod, as it sounds like that is less likely to be integrated into the core.
That said, it may be a while before he has the free time to work on mods, as he is probably putting a lot of extra hours towards his day-job. I hear they just released a large product in early access and are working hard on supporting it.
Won't be me personally - my role in KSP2 was purely some of the art. And since I am off on a different project now, I have the same info you guys have
17 minutes ago, Grimmas said:RoverDude is working on his indie game now plus we don't even really know what colonies will look like in stock KSP2 yet but we do know that there will be a resource acquisition and transportation routes system so there might not even be a need for a mod like MKS, it's too early to tell.
Yep on both counts. Our new game takes priority right now (and it's downright snazzy!), and there will be no consideration of a port of any of the USI mods to KSP2 till we see where KSP2 lands both in terms of stability as a modding platform, and overlap with the USI stuff. That being said, we will be doing a bit of buttoning up on the KSP1 mod side in the relatively near future.

Always explodes when I try to generate Exotic Matter? I have an extremely large solar array with Near Future solar arrays
Is the drive on? Solar is not going to be enough to sustain operations.

We do a few sneak peeks on the USI Discord

Maybe a long shot, but @RoverDude, did you in fact work on ksp2? (Totally ok if you can't comment on that)
Edit: I remember him saying in the mks or usi thread (best suite of mods in the game imo) that he was 'living the dream' when he was asked about his involvement with ksp 1 and 2, but some time later he said something about him making an indie game with robots. I should look it up.
Did a bunch of art for KSP2, not code or design this go around.
1 hour ago, Chilkoot said:Would love to know more, too. That Adderley guy's getting tons of screen time, but we want to know more about what Bob's been up to!
Been neck deep building a new indie game with @DoktorKrogg for over a year now. The fun part being that we get to build the game we always wanted to play. The not fun part being that it's not done yet - though we're pretty stoked about where it is (and there's a lot to be said for being 100% greenfield), and having a blast!

@RoverDude or anyone else who knows, could you let us know how much mass a konstruction point adds to the EVA construction mass limit?
Varies by gravity - should be something you can see in the config files.

Hey @RoverDude, I currently use USI Kolonization Systems, exploration pack, core and tools but I have TAC Life Support. There are some parts from USI Life Support that I want to be able to use (preferably I would just switch to USI LS instead but I have ships out that would end up with missing parts/get deleted), so would I be able to just pull the files for those parts over to the MKS folder or can they only be used with USI LS? Thanks in advance!
Not enough info unfortunately. They aren't going to work with TAC-LS without a config

Hi. Is the life support LIS mod bundled with this? I tried installing MKS and LIS separately and unzipping made it seem like I was replacing the same directory.
Been playing KSP since it's earliest days in early access. Decided to try a modded playthrough just before KSP2 drops.
Cheers
USILS is not bundled, but they do share some of the same dependencies. As long as you nab the latest versions of both you will be good to go.

I do not see any reference in the biomes abundancy settings, at least afaict.
the wolf depot settings in the save file list all abundancies per biome depot, then states if depot is established or not. there is no entry in there for gold ore.
adding recipes would be- like you said - probably fairly straightforward.
ah well.
WOLF leverages the stock resource system (written by yours truly). If Gold Standard uses it as well, awesome. Otherwise, you can see the Community Resource Pack configurations for examples (or the stock example for Ore).

hey there,
how hard would it be to incorporate gold as a new ressource into MKS / wolf ?
I have both MKS and "the gold standard" installed, but they do not play together at all.having the ability to harvet gold using wolf depots would be a godsend.
thanks in advance
Easy enough with module manager and whitelisting the resource, then making all of the appropriate bits that can work with it.

Could we get an option for configuring what resources are needed for making parts/ships(a difficulty option kinda like what USI-LS has)? While I can't speak for anyone else, to me at least when you have material kits and specialized parts, needing 5 other resources that seem like they would be included at part of the first 2 just ends up feeling like unnecessary added complexity.
There's already an option to turn off the machinery component. For anything else, Module Manager is your friend.

Somehow supplies are not first used from tanks set to a higher flow priority but across all tanks equally.
Do I need another setting besides flow priority for life support resources? Or maybe it not intended to work at all?
The latter

Have had a problem in my v. 1.10.1 modded game. When in the VAB, my staging was gone. Have tracked it to this mod. Have used it in the past, but in CKAN, Konstructs makes the staging disappear.
Not familiar with this issue, check the thread. Really can't support older modded KSP versions.

Hi @RoverDude so it seems that KonFabricator is broken in all launguages except English.
It is caused by using hardcoded "engineer" string in if statement. Instead of this it would be much wiser to get that string from loc file
There is a temporary solution just to switch game language but i hate it because it defeats all my hard work localising all the mods i use. So please maybe a hotfix can be quickly made.
Happy to take a PR on this one.

Yeah, wasn't sure why the link was made to USI. Are similar issues know to LS mods?
Not that I am aware of.

To continue on from the general thread.... about different kerbals popping into my craft.
Not sure how this is related to USI LS, as it's not running out of supplies. The log posted earlier shows 3 kerbals in my ship but I had no one on board when launching (and all parts that can hold kerbals are empty after checking the "transfer crew" option). When I had normal crew and they were replaced by tourists, I still had LS supplies on board.
link to log: http://dasher.nl/kerbal/log.zipIf you had nobody on board when launching and Kerbals suddenly appeared - that's not USI-LS. They probably went tourist (which IS USI-LS) because their initial state was not logged because of whatever made them magically appear post-launch.
-
Could have also ran out of habitation. Swapping to tourists means you ran out of something. As @linuxgurugamer said, best bet is the USILS thread

Great mod, @RoverDude
I'll echo the comments that the science modules seem overpowered. There are 4 surface mounted experiments that can be put on the 1st launch. Each experiment provides more science than the stock thermometer and is rerunnable for each surface and atmo biome, so science gathering is accelerated around tenfold compared to stock.
I tend to use CTT so I end up needing excess science. If you feel the balance is off feel free to patch to your preferences.
MKS was built with full support for disconnected bases. So stuff shares within 150m for most stuff, longer distances for others.

Manually via an EVA Kerbal - they should pull from nearby vessels.
