Orbital Decay is not an issue for Kerbalism, but it will not work with Principia.

That is old information. Multi-star support was added last November and improved ever since

Yup, multi-star support was added a few versions ago. However, there is so much going on in the solar panels that I really would like to see Kerbalism's modules being used. We need to do a couple of things for background simulation, as well as supporting timeEfficCurves (waves at RO) and fixing an issue or two with the stock module. Kerbalism not using the Kerbalism solar panel modules would be a major issue, especially for reasons of background simulation. We need a couple of things that Kerbalism does internally (we keep track of all suns, wether they're occluded or not, how far they're away etc - because we need the same information for radiation) that don't make a lot of sense for a non-Kerbalism version in Kopernicus. Also, when you're looking at the Kerbalism code, please look at the dev branch. It is very different from the current release, and more up to date.

Not that I know of. However, last time I looked at the code (before LGG adopted the mod) it was in such a sorry state that I had to recommend not to use it. It does, in parts, the same as Kerbalism does (provide a solar cycle of sorts). Using orbital decay with Kerbalism is fine, but the solar activity levels seen by the 2 mods will be different.

Kerbalism 3.11 The traditional bugfix release: Fixes an issue with engine burn time and time warping. See #656 and #655

Unlikely it's related to MacOS - I'm using MacOS myself

Kerbalism 3.10: To be continued... Update for KSP 3.10, including a few bug fixes and support for the new magnetometer experiment. Changes since the last release Updated for KSP 1.10 (and removed the necessity to rename shader folders for coming versions) Added science config for the new stock magnetometer experiment (also making DMOS use that) Don't count engine running time during time warp #646 Solar storm fixes and additions #648 Fix Execution error for null value in Contract #649 Make SolarPanelFixer timeEfficCurve Persistent (RO Solar support) #651 Fixed duplicate panorama comfort module in some SSPX parts #644

So, let me be clear: this brouhaha happens over one single error message in the log that doesn't even appear on screen and has no implication on gameplay except for tank masses / volumes being different. It's not the end of the world. Unfortunately it cannot be helped from the Kerbalism side, except when adding :NEEDS[!NSS] to B9PartSwitch.cfg, which is not going to happen. Ain't that the truth This is why we don't expect other mods to support Kerbalism, it usually goes the other way. Kerbalism currently comes with configuration files for 78 other mods, some to add just a bit of comfort, others that butcher major parts of mod functionality when it needs to be done. We even discourage other mods to include Kerbalism specific configurations, because these will break whenever Kerbalism needs to change. Having those configurations as part of the Kerbalism distribution allows us to keep them in a working state. It is a lot of work, but it is better than "forcing uninterested mod authors to accomodate" as @Tonka Crash put it so eloquently. If there is a problem let us know, and we will see what can be done about it. Unfortunately, in this case, there might not be anything that can be done. But as there are no implication on gameplay except for tank masses / volumes being different, it's not the end of the world.

It's in the works (and actually working) - but in the not yet playable 4.0 version. It will be a while.

I haven't tried yet, but it's probably going to work just like the old version. Let me know if you see anything that's broken.

You would be mistaken Kerbalism comes with a config file for tantares.

You can offset the center of the magnetic field along the axis, but yes: the axis goes through the core.

Mod of the year.

My best guess is that the "maintain stability for 10 seconds" part of the contract fails because Principia keeps changing the orbit information all the time. My advice: cheat it to completion, and never take such a contract again, ever. (They're boring anyway)

quadrupole moments: no. These radiation fields look still as they did a year ago (the doughnut shape), they weren't changed with the new radiation model. You can look into Radiation.cfg, look at the radiation belt of earth and how that's set up, and then go and try to find a good model for the ice giants. It's not exactly straight forward, you'll need some imagination and the help of the desmos links in there. Let me know when you've got something you like

Kerbalism 3.9 : traditional hotfix release For all KSP versions from 1.5.x to 1.9.x Fix missing closing bracket causing reliability configs to not be applied Kerbalism will not work properly if there is any other mod doing resource simulations for unloaded vessels. TAC-LS (can be used with the ScienceOnly config) and DeepFreeze both use the mod BackgroundResources, and both have the option to disable that in the settings. Kerbalism now forces that setting so that it won't interfere. I don't think that USI/MKS has a similar feature, and even if it did there could be other problems. Didn't investigate for a long time. Oh. Will update that some time

Kerbalism 3.8 : maintenance release For all KSP versions from 1.5.x to 1.9.x Some bugfixes and mod compatibility updates : Fix #635 : NaN propagation happening (usually) on SOI changes. Fixed deployed science experiments giving the full science value on the first transmission event Fix #620 : Allow DeepFreeze (and TACLS) compatibility by disabling their background processing difficulty setting Fix #618 : Use the new Kopernicus 1.8+ MM variable for disabling the Kopernicus solar panel module Fix #628 : Ground experiments does not work with "Science = false" Fix #630 : (Bureaucracy support) Pass a very small positive number as science value when a subject is completed to preserve stock contract functionality. Fix #625 : TestFlight no longer is hard coded to disable reliability, this is done via configuration instead Fix #610 : Fixed BIRDIE experiment requirement so it can be done Fix for TU support configs (LiOn) Korean localization (Vannadin) Reduced radiation damage on some equipments (solar panels, transmitters and antennas) Remove engine failures if EngineIgnitor or PayToPlay is installed The sun always had that, it just had a different form in previous versions. Kerbalism doesn't change the way the Communication network works, it just uses whatever link is provided to transmit science. There are a few gaps in ground station coverage in low orbit of Kerbin, to get around that you'll need a few relays in higher orbits.

Let me know when you’re done. We’ll add the patch file to Kerbalisms configs (not to Interkosmos).

The problem with WBI is that WBI comes with its own set of resource definitions that conflict with the resource definitions that kerbalism uses, which leads to a wild list of issues. It was not fixed because it is not fixable, but it will be fixed in the next version at the cost of broken backwards compatibility with existing save games. It has nothing to do with how kerbalism changes stock systems and everything to do with lacking coordination with resource definitions. besides, the list of mods kerbalism is incompatible with is surprisingly short, you might want to take a look at the Wiki.

What you need is another reason to go places, then? My suggestion: install ContractConfigurator and the Contract Pack: Anomaly Surveyor contract pack (ignore the max. version on the contract pack, it works fine)

If you can hold back for a while, we'll probably be able to have MM-Patches for Kerablism profiles.

I think it disables the stock survey contracts (take measurement over location X below altitude Y contracts), but nothing else. I think stock KSP offers only one "progression type" contract at any point (Return to Kerbin from orbit of X), maybe you still have one open? In mid-game I usually go to places that have launch windows available, and pick up the matching contracts later if I get them.

I don't think so, besides the science storage everything should work as it is.

Nope, it won't work. SM will not even "see" the science that is on the vessel, because Kerbalism uses a proprietary storage method.

There has been CLS support code in Kerbalism for a very long time (I wonder why it's not mentioned on their OP), but the current development version does not have it any more as the mod appeared to be dead. Maybe it will be added again, but generally speaking we have to be conservative about adding dependencies to other mods, even soft dependencies. Kerbalisms code base is currently at ~47.000 lines of code (for comparison: CLS has ~4.000), which is large already. Adding dependencies would add maintenance work on top of that.
