KSP 1.0.5 (32-bit), Win7 64-bit. I have accepted two contracts to rescue two Kerbals in Kerbin space. The contracts have not expired and appear in the persistence.sfs file (one of the two shown below): CONTRACT { guid = 566fc4c5-cb64-4568-a9fe-b3a3a527acc7 type = RecoverAsset prestige = 1 seed = -969639777 state = Active agent = Kerbodyne deadlineType = Floating expiryType = Floating values = 64800,46008000,29250,66825,29250,0,12,12,489853.502246291,425477.642246686,46433477.6422467,0 targetBody = 1 kerbalName = Corbles Kerman partName = USI.MiniRover partID = 1885108082 recoveryLocation = 2 recoveryType = 1 gender = 1 PARAM { name = AcquireCrew state = Incomplete values = 7425,0,0,5,0 title = Save Corbles Kerman winOn = 0 kerbal = Corbles Kerman } PARAM { name = RecoverKerbal state = Incomplete values = 0,0,0,0,0 title = Recover Corbles Kerman on Kerbin failOn = All winOn = All kerbal = Corbles Kerman However, I cannot find the target craft using either map mode, the tracking station of KER (Rendezvous window). I've ensured that the appropriate filters are on in the tracking station and map mode. They did appear at least one since contract acceptance. Where did they go and how do I get them back? The only thing I can think of is at one point, recently, I removed the USI mods and reinstalled only some of them. I then got errors on loading the save that craft files couldn't be loaded because of missing parts files so i completed the USI install (it was the survivability pack that I'd missed). Everything else is working well. Don't know if it helps but the output log shows: Crewmember Corbles Kerman has respawned! (Filename: C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/StandalonePlayerGenerated/UnityEngineDebug.cpp Line: 56) Crewmember Johnfry Kerman has respawned! (Filename: C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/StandalonePlayerGenerated/UnityEngineDebug.cpp Line: 56) Any recommendations? I'd rather go get them so should I just manually remove the contracts from the save and add the Kerbals to my roster? I don't want to suffer the failure if this isn't my in-game fault.

If you mean like the ones in my signature, below, then look at The KSP Ribbon Generator. If you mean the FF ribbons, I don't know. They aren't the same thing. I would like to add FF to my current save(s). There is a reference a few pages back of a 'converter'. Does this add ribbons to the current save(s) and awards them retroactively? Or, am I basically starting ribbon issue from the point at which I added FF to my mod list?

No, you don't need Kopernicus. Have you downloaded the EVE default config files as well?

Thanks. Makes sense. I've been struggling with the USI mods for a couple of weeks so I'm going to install manually for the time being. So I'm clear - reinstall via CKAN or manually?

I'm having a problem with CKAN and USI mods. I appear to have an earlier version properly installed and I'm attempting to update via CKAN (despite RoverDude's direction to avoid CKAN and install manually). CKAN's Changeset looks like this. When I apply the changes I get: I'm not entirely sure what a "ckan update" is but I have checked for a new CKAN version and refreshed the cache. I will post it on github as instructed but thought I'd do it here as well.

They are definitely supposed to show up. Have you visited the craft and checked the LS from there? I'm no expert, just relaying what others have told me or what I've read. I'm pretty sure that there is an EVA timer and no supplies, per say (6 hours time limit, maybe??) after which something is suppose to happen (set by one of the config files).

Invest in modules with recyclers.

I did have one and on loading all the satellites and a Mun lander re-appeared. Unfortunately, the lander was not controllable; I could make it the active vessel but the engine wouldn't respond to throttle control. Thanks for that thought. The pull down shows probes highlighted (i.e. visible) and 0 probes when there should 18. I think I'm going to have to start over...again.

I did find a previous named save and when I loaded it all of the satellites and a manned Mun lander appeared but the lander was uncontrollable (I didn't think to check any other craft, though). I could focus on it and some, but not all, right-click menus were available but I could not turn on lights or throttle the activated engine. They were stuck. Screw it...I'm going to have to start over again.

Well, I'm about 50% successful. No errors reported by CKAN. KER, Science Alert and CRP installed successfully, with KER and SA done manually. CKAN lists Science Alter as "AD", CRP 0.4.9.0 as properly installed automatically, but KER isn't listed at all. I'm confused! However,and here's the 50% unsuccessful, all of my launched craft (all probes) are gone from the game. The only things left flying are 2 Kerbals awaiting rescue (an accepted contract), 1 flag (correct) and one debris from a previous launch. 18-odd probes have vanished. I've checked the persistent.sfs file and, although I'm not sure what I'm looking for, the only things I think are there are some space objects (which I think are asteroids) and the 4 items above. Is this recoverable or do I need to start the career over?

KSP 1.0.5, Win7 64-bit, 12GB RAM I've been having problems with mod installs lately and decided to remove them all and reload them from scratch. I've used CKAN for mod management. I uninstalled via CKAN and cleared out the Gamedata folder (except for the Squad folder). I reinstalled everthing via CKAN. I started the game and loaded my career save only to discover that all of my probe craft had completely disappeared. Debris and other pods (admittedly only 2 Kerbals awaiting rescue; I had no manned missions flying) remained. Contracts that relied on a probe being on station for a certain period of time were reset to their original periods. Can I recover from this?

KSP 1.0.5 (with -force-opengl on the command line, 32-bit, +70 mods). Win7 64-bit SP1, 12GB RAM I'm not entirely happy with the way KSP has been performing overall, so I've tried to go through the output log to see if there is something I need to address. These are the issues I've found but can't figure out: 1. "The referenced script on this Behaviour is missing!" (Filename: Line: 1771) - Early in the log are a series of these lines and I have no idea what causes them. 2. Shader. I get two lines: "Shader 'AtmosphereFromGround': fallback shader 'None' not found" followed by "[InputDevices]: Device #0 has no name." 3. Cannot find. I get a lot of lines that read "Cannot find a PartModule of typename 'ModuleGimbalActions'", "Cannot find a PartModule of typename 'TweakScale'" and "Cannot find a PartModule of typename 'KethaneWetMassIndicator'". I did have TweakScale installed but removed it a week ago. I've never installed Kethane. Are any of these messages of any concern?

I've used KER and consider it an essential tool. Thanks for the work. However, I'm using CKAN and as we know CKAN lists KER as incompatible with KSP 1.0.5. Therefore, I manually install it since I know it works with 1.0.5. The online readme file states: When I open the KerbalEngineer-master.zip, the first thing I see is a list with a 'KerbalEngineer' folder. Eureka, I think...that's the folder I need to copy into the KSP 'Gamedata' folder, as per the instructions. There is no 'Parts' folder at that level nor at the level below that in 'KerbalEngineer'. So, I was a little baffled but persevered. When I started KSP and loaded my save, every vessel could not be loaded since it was missing the KER parts. Did I really miss something or should the explanation in the readme file specifically mention the 'KerbalEngineer' folder beneath the 'Output' folder.

I may have found a minor bug. CKAN v1.16.0-0-g7206ce5, KSP 1.0.5 When I click on the filter button, everything works as it should, the mod list is displayed correctly and the button text changes to reflect the choice except when I select "Not installed". When I select that filter, the button text reads "New". The "New" filter correctly shows "New" on the button text.

There's a patch for Science Alert. Check further back in the topic. Kind of a useless comment :-)

I figured I needed to start from scratch so I've cleared the folder and re-downloaded almost all of my mods (sorry, I didn't get a chance to try removing the version line of the CRP section). I'm having difficulty with a couple of mods that are flagged as incompatible with KSP 1.0.5 (Science Alert, KER). I know these can be patched for 1.0.5 but CKAN will not allow me to download them (there's no checkbox on the left hand side). I presume I have to install them manually and then apply the patches. Will CKAN find them a mark them as AD? Also, as I was selecting mods for installation, one of the lines (Planetshine, in this case) was highlighted in red. What does that mean? Thanks for all of your kind help so far.

I've removed all of the mods and cleared out the Gamedata folder as described. When I try to reload from the .ckan file I get the following error: Module KerbalEngineerRedux required, but not listed in index, or not available for your version of KSP Error! Is this related to the exception I got above? My guess is to edit the .ckan file, remove the KER entry and try again. KER hasn't been updated to 1.0.5 but does have a patch file. Edit: And after trying to do this for KER, Science Alert, and Editor Extensions, now I get: The following inconsistencies were found: CommunityResourcePack requires a version 0.4.8.0. However a incompatible version, 0.4.9.0, is in the resolver Error! CRP 0.4.8.0 is listed in the .ckan file. How do I resolve this one?

Yeah, tell me about it I'm assuming you mean to uninstall everything using CKAN. This, and the gamedata folder clean-out, I can do. Seems simple enough. Going to give it a try...stay tuned Edit: Getting an unhandled exception after clicking on 17 mods to uninstall.

CKAN has been a very useful tool, except recently with RoverDude's USI stuff. I manually installed USI Kolinization because of a update poorly handled by the CKAN installation process (for whatever reason). Now with his latest release, I'm getting an unhandled exception. First I get an error displayed in the status log: Installing previously uninstalled mod USI-Kolonization Oh no!

As a safety feature, the CKAN will *never* overwrite or alter a file that it did not install itself. If you wish to install CommunityResourcePack 0.4.9.0 via the CKAN, then please manually uninstall the mod which owns: GameData/CommunityResourcePack/ResourceConfigs/ExoticMinerals.cfg and try again.

Sometimes it takes a while for the change to show up in CKAN and it's not the modder's problem. If you're really in a hurry, manually install it.

Paul, I'm just an average player but have been allowed to expand my KSP experience through the use of CKAN mod management. Regardless of the work you have yet to put in, thank you for the work done so far. It's made the game much more enjoyable. I can't speak for others, but given the circumstances, thank you for the explanation and, personally, I can wait. Best of luck at the Linux conference, and take care of yourself first and foremost.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense. Stock obviously sees the supply container and the supplies (otherwise it wouldn't flag them by name in the Engineers' Report) but doesn't understand the consumer relation. I never noticed it before.

I've attached supplies directly to the command pod of a rocket. The Life Support Status window displays the supply situation (and I have no idea, based on the above discussion, if it's correct or not) which I find acceptable for the mission. The Engineer's Report, however, states that supplies are present but that they are not used by or connected to anything that needs them. I originally had the containers on the fuel tank just below the decoupler and had the same outcome. Is this the intended behavior? It seems contradictory or, at best, confusing. As you can see (hopefully) in the linked image, it says something about RocketParts in the command pod, too, and I'm not so sure about that one either. Edit: BTW, on the launchpad, the Life Support window matches what was shown in the VAB, and the supplies are being consumed.

The link on the OP "To override this and always have all action groups available, see this post." appears to be broken as it takes you to the OP.

I wasn't entirely clear...my fault...so the answer still leaves me baffled. I meant to ask in what interface does one change the hab values. I'm concluding that one makes a change in a .cfg file somewhere and not in via a UI somewhere.
