I love this so much. It's so delightfully kerbal. It will definitely feel more "stock-alike" than TACLS while still providing the extra challenge of maintaining supply lines or getting/producing supplies in-situ. I'm so excited! As always, Roverdude, you're the best.

The imgur slideshow on the original post shows this mod working on the Mun (where it would adjust for rotation but, obviously, not atmospheric drag). In practice, I can't get that to happen. The mod just doesn't do anything at all when I'm orbiting a body without an atmosphere. Was this feature removed, or am I missing some toggle I don't know about?

Thanks! I don't know how I missed that bit in the installation instructions.

Having a slight issue I'm not sure how to fix or diagnose. For whatever reason, the oxygen wedge is showing up for me containing monoprop. I do have the latest version of TACLS installed. Picture: I thought to go fix it directly, thinking it was just an accident or something, so I started digging through the US_1R340_Wedge_Oxygen part.cfg, and it's...as far as I can tell, correct. Ctrl F turns up nothing for "mono". I'm guessing this means that there's some ModuleManager patch thingy overwriting it somewhere, but I have no idea where or why or how I'd find it and fix it. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated

Seconding this request. I've always wanted a sort of "Mobile Processing Lab Lite" thing that can clean experiments and store an infinite number of them like the MPL but can't analyze data for better transmission returns (a feature I never use).

You can try it, by using this in conjunction with other mods. I can't imagine Karbonite would actually require you to be in an atmospheric-passthrough-orbit. And I can't imagine that Karbonite would be incompatible with, say, HooliganLabs. So you could use the blimp parts to create an aerostatic platform permanently hanging out mining Karbonite from Jool.

Oh. That makes sense, I guess, but would the "less straightforward" way of having only a single button to "extract local resources" really constitute a whole re-write? That seems odd to me.

The only problem is you end up with very cluttered screens due to the way the part module works... or we are down to a whole rewrite. Wait, what? Why would that clutter the screen?

Thanks Snjo! I'll let you know what I figure out.

Thanks for the info, Snjo. So from what I'm understanding here, there is no way to allow another mod to dynamically place structures at run-time, and even if there were, those structures cannot be save-specific, they have to be install-specific. Is that right? What I'd like to do is create a mod that allows players to dynamically place certain structures when certain conditions are met, and give those structures behaviors or persistent values. Will KerbTown be of no help to me?

Is there more up-to-date documentation than the manual in the original post? I don't think it's been updated since the plugin was first made. For example, it says "1. Extract the KerbTown archives (KerbTownPlugin.zip / KerbTownContent.zip) into your KSP directory. That’s where KSP.exe resides. That’s it, now you’ve installed KerbTown. :)" But this is not correct, and hasn't been for a long time. The plugin needs to be extracted to the GameData directory, not the KSP directory. It also seems rather lacking, unless there really is nothing else to it. It's a modder's resource, but I don't see how modders are supposed to use it unless you force players to manually place the static assets (which I *know* isn't true, the mods that use KerbTown work out of the box, but I don't see where that's documented). Is there any kind of API for plugins to interact with KerbTown dynamically?

I quite like the idea of Karbonite, but until Modular Kolonization System and/or Extraplantery Launchpads support it, I'm gonna stick with Kethane. I desperately hope we get a .24.2 patch soon.

Try Near Future Electrical's small fission reactors.

Hello! I tried making a simple experimental station today for the first time just to try out the mod, and I can't get it working. I have a science lab and two plant growth modules, and plenty of power, and four kerbals, but it won't properly start experiments. I created an album showing the problem, which you can see here: http://imgur.com/a/LbIEB Any suggestions? Is there something obvious wrong? Did I break it? I've upgraded to .24.1, so could that be the issue?

Please read at least two pages of the discussion before posting. You're at least the fourth person to report this.

Those models look gorgeous, Daishi. At the risk of breaking one of my own rules (because I'm so damn excited I just can't resist asking), is there any rough ETA on the TAC support? I totally understand if you're not willing to give one. I hate when people ask that question. I'm just ridiculously hyped for it. Edit: You know what, I thought of a better and more reasonable way to phrase the question that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. What's left? How much more modeling needs to be done? And what needs to be done besides that? Is there any specific coding work you need help with? I'd love to contribute. Can't model or make things pretty for ...., but I can write code. Great work, and thanks for a great mod!

Given how awesome MKS is, this is tantalizing. Super excited! I can't model worth a damn but if you need coding help, let me know! I'd love to contribute!

Try "KSP.log" in the KSP installation directory...It's always there, even when everything is working fine. Hard to miss, really. I suggest dumping it in http://pastebin.com/ or, if it is too large, uploading the file whole to dropbox or something similar, and sharing the link here. Edit: oh, and try to reproduce the problem first exactly, then quit and post it. If you've played since without the mod / without whatever causes the problem, it will be harder to diagnose.

It's working fine for me. It's not very helpful to report something like this without including a log file.

I have it installed and it's not breaking anything, but I haven't thoroughly tested the parts yet so we'll see. I actually came here to ask: Is this still being worked on? Can we expect further updates? EPL is such a cool mod, but the models are...well, they need some love.

Some of the parts in the pack are deprecated but included for backwards compatibility, correct? Is there a definitive list of what is deprecated (and therefore safe to delete)?

Great to hear! Can't wait to be able to play with it more. It really is a neat mod, it just looks a bit shabby. Hopefully new models and textures will trickle in for it gradually. Baha has done some great work for it. Edit: Also, thanks for your awesome work. It's wonderful

People have asked about EPL before (I searched before asking myself!) and back in April you said, Anything ever come of this? I love both your mods, and for the first time have them both installed at the same time, but I'm working on a .24 career mode and I'm not particularly close to being able test anything. I suppose I could just mess around in sandbox mode but I thought I'd ask to see if there were any new developments in this that I'd missed. Based on what you said, they should place nice-ish, but will the production rates be comparable/balanced? Long term, and admittedly low priority, it'd be cool if you (or someone) made some kind of optional MKS/EPL integration pack. EPL is a sweet concept but those models/textures could sorely use some love, and your modules look so beautiful and stock-fitting. Low priority, I'm sure. But I thought I'd check if there's any new info on that front I didn't see.

Can we expect a .24 release with part cost balancing any time soon? Although the current costs aren't too unreasonable. Actually I'm not sure if anything needs to be changed, but I'm curious if I should keep checking back here with frequency if an update is coming soon.

So...has this been tested and confirmed to work with .24?
