No, that forces you to return the _science_ back to Kerbin, not the _part_. You can extract the science from the part and just return the capsule, for example. In NEOS, you have to return the actual part.

I'm just maintaining it CaptainKipard made it..

Thanks, it's why I took over maintenance since I really love this mod too. It's sadly neglected at the moment since it is quite a large and complex mod and I haven't really had much time, but I hope to get stuck back into it sometime, especially now that we have a "final" version of KSP. That said, AFAIK, it should still work just fine.. Hmm, haven't used the PC mod. Hardly surprising that it doesn't work, since the Nehemiah science experiments use their own way of progressing. Now that we have some stock experiments which take longer I wonder if I can recode the underlying plumbing and use the stock science system. Although one thing which this mod does which I don't think would be possible with stock is that it forces you to return the actual science parts back to Kerbin to get the science.. research required

The MEP-825 is "special" in that it has the relevant equipment already installed. The other Labs are just empty station components, you first have to launch and install the lab equipment before you can install and run the experiments. The current version of NEOS has hard-coded slots for which equipment can be installed into which lab. I've been meaning to rewrite everything so that you can install equipment into any lab module as long as there's space for it. To be honest, I can't recall.. I think in the current version, the relevant resources to complete the experiments are generated in the equipment, not in the lab, and since you can only have a single experiment in each equipment at a time, there should not be any time penalty running multiple experiments simultaneously.

If this gets implemented, we also need a way to edit a flag.. can't stand spelling mistakes etc.

I see. Ideal (from a realism perspective) would, of course, be when the EVA jetpack refills, it takes the resources from the Pod instead of magically refilling. If the Pod monoprop is empty, no more fills. Anyway, derailing this conversation now! Just wanted to point out that there's other "magical" resources in the game, not just flags.

While I broadly agree, there's more "infinite" resources in the game such as the RCS refills for the EVA jetpacks.. (or has that been patched now?) Anyway, it's moot, apart from bugfixes, Squad have said they're not making more releases. So we'll need a mod to limit flags in which case it's opt-in which is the best for all - those that want it can have it, those that don't aren't forced into it.

On launch day, probably nothing that I don't do on any other day. Then I'll wait until there's a native Linux port. Then I'll see if it's any good based on the prolific YouTube etc content which will be out by then and applying my own metrics of "good" to that. For example, forced multiplayer will be an immediate and definite hard "no" so my emphasis will be on evaluating the single-player content and how much the game has been dumbed down (if at all) or not. Yes, I agree with making games more accessible, but only as long as it doesn't impact my own enjoyment of the game. Another big factor for me will be the moddability (and how it can be modded) - I've heard they are working on ways to make modding easier. I'm a coder, so I hope it will remain an option to write actual code for mods. Then I'll see if my HW can run it acceptably. And then I'll decide whether or not to buy it. TL;DR: I won't be in any rush..

butt-get?

Not if you're a bit posh Down Under. Then you pronounce it as "Tarjay".. (NB: Target is a budget clothing store in Australia, if you don't know.)

Release v1.0 is out. Unfortunately no longer compatible with earlier versions of KSP since I added rotation to the universal docking ports, and also made all of the smaller ports able to be cargo. If there is a desperate need/want to have a version compatible with KSP1.11.x I can do so..

@Dominiquiniv2.0.2 is out.. should fix this issue Thank you for finding it! EDIT: I've also updated the wiki..

Lol, me neither.. let me take a look. EDIT: From the Wiki: So I'm guessing it's not required per se (since the mod still works fine) but in 1.12 they might have added an additional check. Since this experiment has an animation associated with it, I guess this needs to be set to 1 now to stop log spam. Thanks for the report EDIT2: Ok, I think I figured it out, and it's something I accidentally broke when I updated for KSP 1.11. FXModules is the index of the animation module (starting at 0). Which was the case until I added the ModuleCargoPart in front of the modules list. Now the animation module is the second module (so index 1). I think the "correct" fix will be to move the cargo definition to the end instead.

One big issue is that KAC has an existing Science Alarm. The Stock Alarm Clock does not. It does have a custom-alarm-plugin system which is great and would allow for it, but I want to collaborate with other science-mod authors so that we have a single science-alarm type, not half a dozen. And yes, it's on my growing list of TODO's for this mod Unfortunately due to the size and complexity I haven't really touched it in a while. And the fact that it still seems to work just fine..

To all modders: Can we please coordinate on some common alarm types which the stock alarm clock does not yet have? From my perspective that is primarily science alarms which are in KAC but not SAC. It would be very user unfriendly if every science mod adds its own science alarm. For example, DMagic Science Alarm, Nehemiah Science Alarm, etc. Ideally SAC would add all the alarm types (whether or not they are actually active without mod support) which KAC already has as a basis along with offering the plugin system.

The difference being that most users only use a single life-support mod at a time. But users interested in more science experiments often install multiple at the same time, like Station Science, DMAgic Orbital Science, Nehemiah Engineering Orbital Science, to name a few. All of these offer long-running experiments, and, unless they coordinate, would all supply their own science alarm for the stock alarm clock. It's even more baffling since the developer that wrote KAC also implemented the stock alarm clock.. I can see why they added a plugin mechanism for new alarm types, but they should have had all the alarm types that KAC has as a starting point. I also prefer bits of the stock UI over KAC, but overall the KAC UI was better. Anyway, let's see if there'll be any improvements in 1.12.2... I really hope @TriggerAu is following this discussion

For me, the stock alarm clock is missing too many features/alarm types.. so for now, I still have KAC installed, which makes the stock one kinda pointless (for me). Another thing is the modability of it (awesome, based on my brief look at the dev docs) but also leads to an issue.. if I, for example, create a new alarm for my long-running science experiments, and another modder does the same, etc etc, soon you have dozens of different science alarms all plugged into the stock alarm clock. Unless the modding community comes together and standardises a bunch of additional alarm types, it'll be a right royal mess. KAC sidestepped this by adding additional alarm types which all mods could then use. Of course, as a mod, it could do that. As stock, it can't since it won't be updated all the time.

Had this issue as well. Uninstalled mods until it worked (I uninstalled a bunch of suspect ones which had been mentioned here, including X Science!), then reinstalled the mods one by one. Ended up working fine when I eventually had all my mods reinstalled. So might have just been something got corrupted which a reinstall fixed.. PS. Logfiles showed NOTHING - the logfile was just stuck on the last valid entry (CodeAssetLoader: Compiling all code assets) with no relevant errors anywhere.

Alternatively, set "inv = True"... (which also doesn't muck up the in-game preferences UI). But while this fixes the in-game scroll wheel actions, it is still reversed for scrolling any lists in the UI windows. Ultimately it requires a fix by Squad. And they are aware of the issue and there's two bugs on the bug tracker: #28040 #28028

True, although the Apollo experiments ALSO collected seismic data over time. IMHO this would have been better to collect science slowly over time, like the other experiments, but give some bonus science (possibly only via missions?) if you deliberately crash something. Kinda like the Impact! mod..

Quite significant is the inverted scroll wheel bug on Linux. Much worse than audio or graphical glitches as it makes playing quite frustrating. Bug #28028 and #28040 It can be partially worked around by inverting the scroll wheel axis in preferences, but then all the Unity lists scroll invertedly. Basically the way the game interprets the scroll wheel is inverted compared to the way Unity does. People say it's an issue with Unity rather than the game; if true, I really fear that we may be stuck with it since the game has now settled on a LTS of Unity; unlikely to get another update. It would be a real shame if the final version of KSP is semi-unplayable on Linux.

Release 1.3.7 is out, marked as compatible with KSP1.12.x I've also tweaked the capsule parameters ever so slightly, mostly to make it a bit more expensive. Enjoy

I miss the coloured icons; seriously not a fan of the "modern" flat-shaded monochrome stuff. The KAC mod is visually much easier to use due to colour-coding various things. The stock alarm clock is just grey..

Looks like Mün to me... Don't forget the original developers were not native english speakers, so they got a lot of things "right". Only because (most) native english speakers are too lazy to ever even try to figure out how things should be pronounced and instead assume pronunciations based on their own illogical non-phonetic spelling system doesn't make it correct. EDIT: And, of course, I somehow missed the post you were replying to which already had the image... *sigh* Moar Kawfee required! But yeah, pretty sure it was supposed to be moon, not muhn.

Installed KSP1.12 and continued my modded Kareer save. This included returning the first Kerballed mission from Minmus orbit back to Kerbin (yes, it's a fairly new career, but also almost as far as I've ever gotten - I tend to get bogged down building and maintaining stations and surface bases while my first one or two probes are enroute to Duna, as well as bug fixing and enhancing mods...). So far it all seems to work just ticketyboo.. but then again, I only use a dozen or so mods, not several hundred.
