[CCKP: An eventful return.]

I might have missed it in some of your descriptions, but wondering about the choice not to use any of the Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR parts?

That said, I really liked your approach to building these Soviet-era rockets, etc. using (mostly) stock parts.

[Kerbal Space Program 1.9: "There’s No Place Like Home” Grand Discussion Thread]

I just might give playing completely (or nearly) Stock a try with the latest update. See what it's like while we wait for the mod updates.

banana equivalent doses (when you eat a banana, you get approximately 1e-7 Sv of radiation). 1e7 (10M) bananas reduce max HP by 10%; 1e8 (100M) bananas kill a kerbal

Can I just say how brilliant / amusing this is to use the "banana metric" for radiation calculations?

I played with Kerbal Health a ways back and anyways I'm thinking I'll bring it back for my next 1.8.x playthrough.

"Resurface. Zam. Scrape. Or most correctly: Flood.

Whatever you call it, it is this miraculous occurrence that happens almost hourly at every arena in North America. All the snow, ice chunks, snot rockets, spit, blood, and sometimes even vomit from the previous hour are removed and replaced with a fresh, clean, new sheet of ice.

It is the perfect picture of the miracle that happens through a relationship with Jesus.

In the same way that a grind-it-out practice or a hard fought game leave the ice ruined, sin leaves our life ruined and we can’t fix it on our own. In fact, sin doesn’t only ruin life, sin KILLS!"

Thanx for digging this thread up...

Wow, I never saw this thread! First to @Bearfight (if you're still getting notifications) excellent breakdown and really love the icons, the tone of the writing, and how ultra-informative it is. Honestly, I have to re-read this a couple time to make sure I digest everything - that's a good thing!

That said, have people used the plugin and what are their experiences? It looks like @4x4cheesecake you used it but do it more "manually" via Notepad++?

I can't bring myself to build anything that is asymmetrical

I'm the same way - all my spacecraft are generally symmetrical. But for me, it's less about aesthetics and more about docking / thrust.

Like I said, maybe it's just me... or I probably don't know how to adjust RCS thrusters properly... (I almost exclusively use RCS Build Aid to balance thrust vectors)

With asymmetrical spacecraft design, I find docking is a total PIA when the weight is not distributed evenly and the vectors are off balance. While asymmetrical often looks cooler, personally it's not worth the time fighting the vectors when I need to dock the thing.

[What are your quirky habits in KSP?]

Does anyone else keep track of their missions in spreadsheet format? 

I'm definitely not humble-bragging here, honestly, it's a bit over-the-top if you ask me. In my latest career game (spanning too many months), I always hated forgetting what missions I was setting up, what craft were left in orbit where, and then coming back weeks later what the heck they were all doing.  I'm also running Kerbal Construction Time (KCT) so it makes it that much more challenging to keep track of things.

Hence, spreadsheets.

Spoiler

Mission Log - started with the first basic pod launched in Career (KSC-001) 

White = Current, Grey = Complete, Blue = Mission Underway, Green = Long-term Mission (Station)

With so many various craft launched and wanting to re-use craft for different missions, had to come up with a way to keep track of those, too.

 

So my spreadsheet habit has helped me. Although lately when I want to play the game, it's like 'Ok. Time to manage the spreadsheet.'

Kinda makes it less fun to "manage" the game. Maybe I should just build some stuff in Sandbox??

[A dicussion on the merits of paying for mods, moved from another thread.]

not for the Kop Team to go start charging $$ for it themselves...

I'm sure it's been debated, and I'm sure the Kopernicus team folks have real jobs, but why NOT charge money for the mod since it's such an improvement?

That said, I'm sure there's probably a legal/licensing issue with charging money on top of stuff that belongs to Squad/Private Division. Or maybe there's some guidelines for modders that Squad provided, basically legalese saying "you can't charge for mods". Others would know better in both those instances.

But who wouldn't pay $10-$15 for something like Kopernicus. Several thousand people buying this (is the community that big?) and you have maybe a small annual salary, if not a nice incentive/justification to devote time to it.

Version 2.3.0 for all versions of KSP from 1.3.1 to 1.8.1

Hi, this may be a dumb question, since this latest update says support for 1.3.1 through 1.8.1 so it seems obvious, but thought I'd ask...

Are there any known issues using this mod with 1.7.3 of KSP?

I've been using v2.2.3 of this mod forever, but thought I'd update. Should I not, since I'm not planning to move to 1.8.x anytime soon?

This looks like it is problems with the whitelist file delivered by these mods. [snip]

I suggest you bring this up with the author(s) and point them to the wiki on whitelisting, or get them to come here for help addressing this.

Awesome, thank you for responding @Nertea. I've looked at little more closely (now that I understand what I'm looking at) and I can see for each of these Errors it's referencing either the wrong model name or as you point out the folder doesn't exist. I'll follow up separately with each mod owner to let them know.

In the meantime, I wanted to confirm for the whitelisting...

If I put for example the folder name 'Squad/Parts/Command/' in the whitelist file, everything in that folder will be whitelisted? That is, if I understand the Whitelisting/Blacklisting Wiki page correctly?

IIRC you can use old dlls to get it to work but it will still break a bunch of stuff if you use and old KSP version.

Thanks for your comment. I think it should still be working OK since I haven't upgraded anything else from ReStock, it's the same version I've been using for quite a while alongside my current (i.e. the previous) version of KSP.

I'm also not seeing anything glaringly wrong, all the parts seem to work just fine. But the log Errors make me wonder if something might not be working properly? Or... if it's working as intended, then nothing to worry about, I guess. Appreciate any input!

Hi all, I'm hoping some of you fine folks can help shed some light on something I see in my latest logs. Not sure if this is an actual problem, but if so, I'd love some pointers on how to resolve?

The Errors start when it begins reading the Restock whitelist. Maybe are these deprecated parts? or am I missing files? Thanks for your help!

I'm currently running KSP 1.7.3 with ReStock/ReStock+ 0.1.4. 

Note: I know this is a version back, but I haven't upgraded to KSP 1.8 (since I'm looking for Kopernicus to update and I'm in the middle of a long career game). Hope that isn't an issue for support.

This is a great point for Career games:

do as many Tourism contracts as you can.

To add to this thought: Streamline your launch system (rocket) and crew / re-entry vehicle as much as possible so you can take 3-4 tourists at a time (maybe with a pilot as well). The lowest weight construct with a minimum of dV plus a heat shield is all you need. Then re-use the system over and over again, don't re-invent the rocket system every time!

By getting your rocket stages to an absolute minimum, you're not wasting rocket parts (and precious funds) by blowing off extra solid rocket boosters and asparagus-staged mega-rockets. Think like the Russians here: the Soyuz system is the (relatively-speaking) lowest cost way to get people to space for a reason, it's simplified to minimum necessary systems and doesn't cost a ton of rubles per launch. 

Also a supremely useful mod to land separate stages (and not waste the funds) is FMRS: Flight Manager for Reusable Stages. It uses the save game system to allow you "to go back in time" and land/recover multiple stages, then jump to the ship you got into orbit.

5. there is no point in the inflatable airlock except for recreating voskhod 2. 

Haha, this made me literally LOL because I always want to use this part... but it never makes sense given the wide variety of mod-based docking ports and other cool bits.

I watch Scott Manley the most and he's my fav listed, but I rarely watch his KSP videos... tbf he rarely posts them anymore which is fair enough  I watch him for space news really and deep dives into space history...

I agree with this comment - I watched SM's content around tutorials and various mods, but that's from like 3+ years ago. His space stuff is really cool, hence the Twitter & YouTube following.

But strictly KSP content... ShadowZone IMO has some of the best and most interesting new stuff. He deserves more than 6.25% in this poll!

 

[What Life Support System To Use?]

The TAC Life Support mod is very popular and widely supported by a number of mods for various parts & functionality:

Possible bug: ScienceAlert Realerted has problems with wedge AMS and Mystery Goo; the experiments show up in the window, but when activated via ScienceAlert they can't be reset and data can't be collected from them. 
Additionally, OrbitalScience wedge parts can't be activated at all using ScienceAlert. 

I'm aware that this might be a ScienceAlert bug, but both mods worked well with each other in 1.7.3.

Using 1.9.8.4 for ScienceAlert and RC5 beta version posted just above for UnivStorage, but the bug also occurs in the latest stable release.
It seems to be a similar bug to what was reported here with [x]Science: 

 

Thanks for pulling up my thread - I started playing again on 1.7.3 (pulling in the old save game from 1.7.1) and noticed the same behaviour in my science modules. Figured it's just something we have to live with as far as incompatibility between the two mods. 

For what it's worth, I just have to remember to run the AMB and GooPods by hand when using [X] Science. It seems to work OK, although it's not as sleek as hitting the [X] Science button for everything.

Would be awesome if the incompatibility could be resolved, though!
