Fuel is cheap*. Probably most of the launch costs comes from the payload/equipment and engines. You'll get more profits by sending a big ship to orbit by itself, catch some asteroids, mine them and refuel the ship - so you don't have to pay even more for sending fuel to space.
*not including xenon
Well, I think i have some mod that allows me to make xenon. OH RIGHT IT WAS KETHANE!
6 minutes ago, Laie said:Check yo stagin'. About half a tank's cost is the fuel inside. Including engines and payload, fuel is still about a quarter of the entire vehicle.
@Shikashi: if you want to make fuel for profit, it's probably easiest if you don't even mine the ore, but load up your tanks in the VAB and then turn it into monoprop. That's 2 funds in, 300 out for every ton of ore. Not a very interesting mission in my opinion, but certainly profitable.

Hey folks!
I've been wondering, is mining an asteroid and refining the ore and sending the fuel products back to Kerbin proficient or does it provide barely enough to pay for the mission? -
Translator for english to german and vice versa
Though my old company kinda stopped responding, so I am looking for a new one.
-
Wait, you speak german? Holy jfc I didn't expect that.
-
The year is 256, Kerbin has been exhausted of Ore and Energy, and the people are looking forward to a major climatic catastrophe, a large asteroid hitting Kerbin, wiping out all it's life.
Basic rules to this story:
I have exactly one year of preparation time, after that, Kerbin will remain inaccessible until a large crew lander of at least 20 people landed at the KSC, with sufficient materials to construct new buildings(think creating a large launchpad factory in EP)
Heavily Modded:
KSPI-E
Kethane
Tarsier
Extraplanetary Launchpads
KIS and KAS
A lot of other smaller additionsCommunity will be able to influence the story: Suggestions and Builds are welcome.
First part will be uploaded soon!
EDIT: Early semester school stress tumbled me out a little, I will try to catch up on the weekend with a proper story and stuff like that.
-
I plan on building a nuclear powered mining base on eeloo soon, maybe with antimatter power beamed from jool.
I use Extraplanetary launchpads, kethane and KSP Interstellar by the way. -
Today is my second day at higher education school in Perg.
It is heavily IT based, they even learn you basic hacking skills lol.
If you know german, look up "HTL Perg". -
Hey, @Scotius, do you think formica fusca like algae? I happen to also grow algae to combat mold in my hydroponic farms.
-
UPDATE: Queen has laid a couple of eggs, and she is currently caring for them
Can't wait for the first workers to arrive. -

Well I actually had an ant colony inside a large houseplant pot inside my house at one time. The colony just grew there. Apparently a sneaky queen must have decided to nest there without me noticing. Well not until there where dozens of ants running around the kitchen and piles of dirt next to the houseplant.
Watch it! They may be spies!
-
Actually it helps a lot since there's a lot of common houseflies in my house and they are highly annoying.
-
So, Update: I fed her a small fly I just killed and coated with a bit of honey. I hope she accepts my offering.
-
Yes, I did know all of that lol.
-
Huh? Did i once bring something like that up?
UPDATE: Survivor queen has entered physogastrism. her butt is now a few times larger than the rest of her body.
Man those queens real thicc. -
We had pretty harsh winters 10 years ago, now global warming kinda changed that. However, I think they're hibernating through winter then. But she must REALLY like the coco noir, seeing as she dug into it within a night.
-
Update: One of the two queen ants died, I gave the other one some coco noir yesterday, so she actually has something to dig. I think she likes it, cuz I see some small tunnels and I can't find her anywhere. I choose coco noir because it doesn't really mold and it isn't really hard.
-
Great! Is it bad that I gave her a toothpick of honey? I mean, honey still is disinfecting, so it should keep mold at bay, right?
-
Yes, the picture you attached very closely resembles my ant. Yes, she already had torn of her wings when I found her, and has proven docile so far. Can you tell me: fully claustral or not?
Thanks in advance!
-
No, it does look similar, but they haven't got the yellowish section.
They are completely dark brown, and so far have proven docile(though I yet have to see any offspring, not just the queens(yes, another one landed in my room yesterday))
They don't just live in the forest, here in Austria, they live everywhere.If my camera weren't so damn bad, I'd take a picture.

Maybe you raised wrong ants?
My Messor structor colony is over 10 years old and still going strong. And i never had problems with feeding them - as mostly herbivorous species my ants eat various grains, sunflower seeds, nuts and occasionally couple of houseflies or a small piece of raw meat (pork - they don't like any poultry). If you have carnivorous ants as pets, nearest angler shop will readily provide fly larvae or those small red worms that i have no idea how they're called in english Mine are some species that I don't know. But they are damn common over here in Austria, especially in the forests where their buildings sometimes grow up to two meters in height and a few meters width at the base. I think they are omnivorous, but I can try.

Greetings, folks of Earth. I am speaking here from the HQ of international Aethernautiks.
Ok, I am joking, I am sitting next to my bed.
Anyways, I always thought : "Damn, Ants are pretty damn interesting".
Now, today, I managed to catch a mated Ant Queen, and put it into a small test tube set up so it can grow it's colony.Maybe, by studying their behaviour, I can learn simple but effective strategies for conquering new planets and terraforming(Ants are vivid terraformers, they do a lot around their homes)
I will update on any major events!
-
Thanks. The part with the control systems would've been too advanced since the people at my school don't even know how a ballpoint pen works, and I did an oversimplified version of the LqF+LOX engine on chalkboard.
Also: the presentation already is in the past by now, got a straight A+ on it. Thanks to a lot of pictures from KSP and a live example of a mün mission.

Hey everyone!
I am soon going to have a presentation in school about aerospace technology, engineering and astro sciences.
Now, I am already pumped up with a nearly lethal overdose of caffeine to do work, but I still need some help from you guys.
There will be sections about general astro sciences, actual engineering, and other stuff, as well as some things about KSP because it simulates it so well.
If you can help me out in any way(art, screenshots, or informations), you will be greatly appreciated, and mentioned in the presentation.
Thank you everyone. -
Same for me. But I have 12 gb of ram, so it shouldn't be an issue, never was the issue.

I dont know if this has been asked before. But i cannot find the right processor to create uranium nitride for my pebble bed reactor. nor can i find what the required resources are. i checked the github wiki but the pages are so old they refer to parts i cant even find anymore. So far i think i have unlocked every ISRU
EDIT: I found it
