The SinkEmAll Spacedock and the BALLISTANKS Spacedock both link here leaving me unsure of what I need to install at minimum. I reckon I install SinkEmAll to simply sink/float as the description indicates but it links here and that implies I need these parts as well as SinkEmAll. Which is correct? Do I need both or are BALLASTANKS and other parts for expanding the functionality of SinkEmAll?
Ballistanks was the predecessor to Sinkemall, which was a predecessor to Moist.
Ballistanks only has one controllable ballast tank
Sinkemall has no part mods, it reuses stock parts and adds features and resources to them to control ballast.
Moist is the updated version of Ballistanks that includes more parts to make ballast control easier and includes the ballast control from Sinkemall.
So depending on what you want to do, there is a solution.
Want to stay mostly stock, Sinkemall is best
Don't mind mods? Moist is the best solution.
With finesse, you can get perfect bouyancy with either, but Moist is, for me, the easier since it includes Keels that hold the ballast and can be placed at the bottom of the craft adding stability.

What a week!
First off, a huge thank you to all of the people who have decided to join us here at the beginning of Early Access. It’s been so exciting to see what you’ve done with KSP2’s new parts, and even though there have been some bumps in the road, it’s been so fun to explore the new Kerbolar System through your eyes. At the end of each day, our team has enjoyed camping out in the official Intercept Games Discord’s KSP2 screenshots channel and basking in the endless waves of creativity, innovation, and pure insanity. This community does not disappoint!
Early Access has also yielded its first crop of bugs for us to fix, and we’re already making good headway. Our first Early Access update, which is planned to take place in the next couple of weeks, will contain the following fixes (as well as many other improvements that we’ll break down in more detail in our patch notes when the update goes out):
Performance/Optimization

Fantastic work! It's alot to tackled, but the team is up to the task.

This is fantastic. I really would love to see modding in KSP2, but it is a bit early for such wishes. I know we will get to a point to where the game is stable and performance is in a state to where we can get the nod to start on up part mods. Love to see both sides come together on a topic that unites us all.

How does this add ballast to kerbals?
Right click on the Kerbal and you can add or remove ballast
2 hours ago, RB101 said:I think mod needs to significantly decrease the ballast weight per 0.01 unit of ballast liquid...
(as in make 1 units weight equal to what 0.01 currently weighs)
This is because you can't meaningfully tweak tank balance with such small increments, making balancing near impossible....
The liquid ballast added by the this mod is also not recognised by the mod PWB fuel balancer (which would have made balancing trivial if it worked)Actually I was able to get zero bubble and 0ms vert and horiz.

So, i'm having a problem with the DriftR AWS wheel, for some reason it just spins in the same place, my vehicle don't move with them, even using RCS, as if the vehicle was stuck in the ground, but visually the wheels are rotating, they also don't turn to make curves, no idea why...
It's my fault, the default position is rotated wrong. Pending to be fixed. For now, make sure that the black ball is rotated so it's towards the ground.

Yeah.. I figured it was just for the props.
Unfortunately, the only other plugin I can think of that does propellers, IIRC, is WBI Tools, by @Angel-125.
I've tried to remove dependencies on FS for years for mods... Unfortunately, there are a few things in FS (propellers for one), that no other plugins have replicated, so I could completely dump FS
The way I did it is a bit strange, but works. to make them use only electricity, I basically modded EC to be a mirror of jetpack fuel. That way, it can use only one fuel and not make the KSP system go nutty.
I used Module Manager to patch EC like:
@RESOURCE_DEFINITION[ElectricCharge] { @hsp = 3000 }
HSP we didn't think would make the change, but it works and still does so I left it. If you want to use a single fuel, you can use that trick. it lets my engines and props use only EC.
FS is awesome though (and one of my fav mods) since I love propeller mods.
**edit*
This would only solve the fuel part. but the blur disc and other FS goodies are all in FS. I was just too lazy in my mod to add them LOL

Hey, is it possible for you to make all your parts Tweak Scale compatible? I'm wanting to use a bunch of your wheels but they are too small for the vehicle I'm creating. It would be super appreciated! Thanks! I understand if you don't want to do it though.
Update is on SpaceDock, Enjoy!

Sure, I'll take a look at it this weekend. I was updating the mod anyhow.

Thank you for taking care of it so quickly, my Kerbin rover project kinda depends on those wheels right now
I think I see the problem, the wheel is mounted on the chassis wrong. It's sideways. On the model there is a black ball, that goes towards the ground. Sorry it took me so long to look and see that. But yeah, rotate the wheels till the black ball is towards the ground

Hi @Jatwaa, first of all, I love your mod and agree with everyone else it is a godsend to ease up some missions and achievements in a minimalistic and elegant way. I have run into what seems to be a bug with the DriftR AWS rover wheels (I think they are the 'RacingWheel' part). When I am in the runway with a roverMate core featuring two pairs of them attached (I want to use them as they are wider than the rover core and thus, no matter which way it flips they will still touch the surface) I can make them spin by pressing WASD but they will not apply traction. It seems as if they do not touch the ground. When I warp at "four arrows" (100x) speed and keep pressing W or S, the rover still sitting at the starting point on the runway, Physics suddenly break and the rover teleports to several kilometers up into the atmosphere (I got values between 1.2 Km and 2e6 kM in different runs) at a random speed spanning from 0 m/s to several fold the speed of light (>1.150e6 m/s). Other parts from this mod behave normally, and this is why this specific issue struck me with surprise at the beginning. It seems to me like there could be a problem with how the in-game "real"dimensions of the wheel model (in Dr1ftWheel.cfg?) interact with its collision box. I uploaded a vide of the issue here and a complete KSP.log file, initiated immediately before running the game to reproduce the issue here.
Hey Quicksilver! Glad you all are enjoying this mod. That error is odd. I recall that happened in testing but was since resolved. I'll have to look into it.
Thanks!

Hi guys, just came back to KSP after being gone for awhile. I notice now that the electric engines no longer function. Says status: flame out. If the only engine i have at launch is electric, it works. If I launch with a chemical rocket, with an electric powered probe, after separation the electric engine doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Which engine?

Are you able to drive underwater with this mod?
Yes! Just add ballast to your rover or wheels to your underwater craft and it would keep your rover down enough to drive. Also it will allow ballast for Kerbals to allow those underwater bases

Compatible to 1.12.3?
How are they balanced? How many ECs do they consume? Some more pictures of them in action?
Should remain compatible as long as Module Manager is available.
Balance wise, they go from comparable to stock to OP sci-fi engines
EC usage can be high in atmo, but eases up in space. There are included converters to support the engines that burn lfo or fuel/air, it is vastly more efficient than stock. You can also try rtgs or solar, but gonna need a whole army of em in the atmo.

I'm really enjoying this mod, thank you for making it.
Is it possible to add an attach point to the bottom of the ec6 engine? Would like to attach a decoupler to the engine.
Glad you are enjoying it! I can add in the node. I'll see if I can add it in this weekend

Great Minds! I have now. I found it when checking to see how well my mod would turn up in searches. Thankfully my ballast tanks seem to be more comprehensive and don't require any new meshes, so I am crossing finger.
two versions MOIST! and SEA (Sink Em All).
MOIST! adds parts, SEA doesn't, just resources and functions. I love to see more ideas out there for submarines so I still think it's awesome
edit: If I can help, just let me know!

@Jatwaa - so. I've been fiddling around with this, because the whole "MJ won't calculate proper burns" thing was annoying the hell out of me. It took me a while, but I hit upon a solution that (roughly) keeps your intended balance while fixing the issue with MJ and possibly making the patch for ElectricCharge unnecessary.
I modified the following in EC6.cfg (the TeeslaKannon):
RESOURCE { name = spACE amount = 100 maxAmount = 100 } RESOURCE { name = ElectricCharge amount = 1000 maxAmount = 1000 } MODULE { name = ModuleGenerator isAlwaysActive = true INPUT_RESOURCE { ResourceName = ElectricCharge Ratio = 0.0001 FlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW } OUTPUT_RESOURCE { name = spACE rate = 100 DumpExcess = false } } MODULE { name = ModuleEnginesFX thrustVectorTransformName = thrustTransform exhaustDamage = False ignitionThreshold = 0.1 minThrust = 0 maxThrust = 1357 heatProduction = 0 fxOffset = 0, 0, 1.5 EngineType = Electric flameoutEffectName = flameout powerEffectName = running_thrust_Perf runningEffectName = running_turbine_Perf engageEffectName = engage disengageEffectName = disengage spoolEffectName = running_thrust PROPELLANT { name = ElectricCharge ratio = 1025 } PROPELLANT { name = spACE ratio = 1 } atmosphereCurve { key = 0 138328 key = 1 118567 key = 9 0.001 } }Changed the definition of ACE to the following (unit cost can probably go to 0 - messing with that was part of some misguided troubleshooting that turned out to be stupidity on my part):
RESOURCE_DEFINITION { name = spACE displayName = Accelerated Counter Emmissions abbreviation = ACE density = 0.001 unitCost = 0.1 flowMode = ALL_VESSEL transfer = PUMP isTweakable = true isVisible = true hsp = 3000 volume = 1 }And removed the patch for ElectricCharge, since it's no longer needed (at least, for this engine - I'm not sure why it's there in the first place, and there may be another reason for it. I'm sure I broke something unintentionally...)
Long-winded explanation of what I did below:
Based on what I found while looking around, you can figure out your Isp for electric thrusters by plugging your Thrust (in kN) and fuel density (for spACE, in this case) into the following equation:
Isp = <thrust> / (9.81 * <fuel density>)
... which is a massive simplification of all the equations I did find, since everyone wants to explain the theory behind it AND use a bunch of very precise terms (which is usually good, but frustrating when you mostly know what it means, you're tired, and you just want to plug in some numbers because it's making your head hurt :V)
Leave the consumption of your fuel (spACE) at a ratio of 1, change the EC consumption to the amount/second you desire, and Bob's your Kerbal. You consume 1 unit of fuel/second, and whatever amount of EC/s you specify (give or take - it's actually showing 1025.383 or something, and I seem to recall it being 1023.something before.) Stick on a generator for the fuel, and you
To get the ASL Isp, I just multiplied by 6/7 (or 120/140, which were the original ASL/Vac ISP values). I may actually divide the density of spACE by 10 and multiply the Isp values given by 10, which should give me a decent-looking buffer on my current craft (1 engine, ~106t, 1270 m/s dV currently - 12700 would cover pretty much any intended burns I might do, and keep MJ from going into the red.)
Additionally, this would further reduce the impact of ACE on ship mass - currently 100 units weighs 100kg. It has to have SOME mass, but you can probably keep it as low as possible - bump the storage down to 5 or 2 units or so (I wouldn't go lower than 2, and feel like 5 would be smart just to cover physics hiccups where you might run your tank dry between ticks) and give it even less mass. Maybe something to play with next time I restart the game. I'm not restarting again for a while, because I've spent WAY too long messing with this...
Side note - the mounted RCS thrusters (the TN-E, I think?) don't work for me when I try to do translation with them.
But looking at them is what gave me the inspiration to use ACE since it's already in the mod and only seems to be used on those thrusters.
ACE was around because RCS thrusters couldn't use EC in the way I wanted, just wanted pure EC to generate the thrust, RCS is like "nah". So I created ACE to work as a stand in till I could figure it out. The game does NOT like me using EC only since no density and it breaks logic I suppose. The EC patch actually makes EC viable as a fuel source with a minor, albeit nonsensical edit. A funny technicality, its actually the same as EVA pack fuel. But RCS still refuses thus far to use it. I was planning an update soon with new engines and toys, so, I maaay look back into it.

Hey, I just tried installing MOIST, and the only parts that came up in the parts list were the intake valves and the aquajets. For some reason, the game wasn't reading any other parts. Help?
I'm running KSP 1.10 on a 2014 Mac with Catalina (10.15.5).
Interesting, do you have the ksp log from the load?

Interesting, what file? I scan all the things before any zipping for spacedock.

Hey Voteless! Glad you enjoyed it
I do intend to migrate it over, just need to sort how they do EC (once they get it working) and then sort the importing of models and new systems it will need.
But yes! I have been planning on it. Stay tuned!
