[[1.12] Stockalike Station Parts Redux (June 12, 2022)]

I wrote a MM patch adding various tank types to the larger adapters and spines.

[[1.12] Stockalike Station Parts Redux (June 12, 2022)]

Could the adapters and crew tubes have some cargo space added to them?  As it is they're rather large, heavy, and mostly empty space.  Being able to load them up with life support supplies and other assorted consumables from mods would be great.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Continued Development Thread]

Why was the Tritium tank removed from the MIF engine?  Suddenly many of my designs need an extra tank added before I launch them again.

Also the KJR version bundled with the mod is likely to break things for people running Infernal Robotics Next.  It is not compatible.

[[1.8.1 - 1.12.2] KSP Interstellar Extended 1.29.5 Release Thread]

Does the 1.21.10 for 1.7.2 version work for 1.7.1?  Kopernicus is not updated to 1.7.2 yet, so I reckon there's a lot of us that are still waiting for that before we update to 1.7.2.

By any chance does the ship you are trying to construct with have KAS parts? I was trying to figure out why an existing base had the UI problem, but a new test base didn't. Looks like KAS might be breaking it somehow.  I was using Simple Construction which uses EL. Here is a test video.:

(snip)

EDIT: I looks like if you detach and re-attach all KAS items (Joint Sockets, Resource Transfer stations) it works again...

The ship I'm trying to construct doesn't.  The ship I'm trying to build from does though.  Testing now.

Edit:  It Worked!  Thanks!  I can continue my ships mission now.

[[1.12] Extraplanetary Launchpads v6.99.3]

I'm also getting lots of those same errors trying to build something in orbit in 1.7.1.  The UI breaks after selecting a craft to build.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Continued Development Thread]

As the magnetized target reactor has a description saying it's great for SSTO's, can we get a version that actually fits on a plane?  (ie. shrunk down a bit and stuffed inside a fuselage section)  It's current aerodynamics are not great to say the least.

[[1.12] Stockalike Station Parts Redux (June 12, 2022)]

I was looking through this mods patches for contracts today.  I noticed that the patch to add the lab to station contracts adds the cupola module instead.  Is this intended?

In SSPXR-Contracts.cfg:

// 3.75m labs count for contracts
@Contracts
{
	@Base
	{
		@PART_REQUEST:HAS[#Part[Large.Crewed.Lab]]
		{

I'm having a nasty problem with my electrical systems.  The priority system isn't working(or is backwards), so anytime something draws more power than the reactor can provide, I run out of EC and lose control.

Also convection based cooling doesn't seem to be functioning.

I can't find a delete comment option.

Uh, the Spacedock download isn't up to date with the latest github release.

I'm seeing the Haber process in the ISRU refinery consume Nitrogen without producing ammonia, because I lack Hydrogen.  Also water electrolysis consumes the same amount of power even when there isn't enough water to use even 20% of it's capacity.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Support Thread]

Is Methane supposed to be 6.6 times as expensive as LiquidFuel per unit mass?

I have never used the  ConvertByMass flag yet, perhaps you can help me by fixing them

And... It doesn't seem to do anything.  Calculator and config editing it is then.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Continued Development Thread]

Shouldn't the resource processors for things like Nitratine and Hydrates have a "ConvertByMass" flag set?  They seem to produce far less Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide than they should.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Continued Development Thread]

The vessel functioned perfectly normally as far as I can tell, at least aside from the lag that comes with spamming the log constantly.  It didn't even have KSPI parts, it was a simple Poodle powered shuttle for my Munbase.  Might be a problem with procedural parts' tanks.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Continued Development Thread]

I'm getting "ORS - did not find manager for vessel" spammed in the log.  I can't tell what is causing it, could you add some more debug info to this line "UnityEngine.Debug.LogWarning("ORS - did not find manager for vessel");" in ORSResourceSuppliableModule.

[KSP Interstellar Extended Support Thread]

Some of the tanks in this mod seem to be really expensive.  50k for a 5m tank that holds dirt or metal seems a bit expensive.

[ORS - did not find manager for vessel error]

Yeah I'm getting a this spammed in my logs as well.

I think it started around the time I updated KSPI, it may be related to Interstellar Fuel Switch.

It's intended as a sanity-check to make sure your parts don't expand beyond what's reasonable.  Are you sure they should be expanding that much?

The Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide resource tanks hold more than 100 units undeployed, so they aren't expanded when the module inflates

I'm trying to make a module manager patch to replace supplies in the storage containers with TAC-LS resources, and I've run into a problem with the inflatables.  The resource amount is only increased if the base resource amount is less than the inflated multiplier, so the oxygen and carbon dioxide tanks are not expanded when the part inflates.

I found the offending line of code in the ExpandResourceCapacity() method in USITools.USIAnimation.  Is it keeping anything from breaking?

Is there still an EPL-like ability to construct things in orbit, and if so what parts do I need and where do I click to make it work?

Has anyone else tried to grapple a large asteroid while using this mod and persistent rotation?  It's damn near impossible to grab a 3.8 million ton rock that's spinning at a little over 1 rpm.

I put a heavy relay satellite into a polar molniya orbit.

Here it is on it's insertion burn:

And here it is fully deployed:

 

This should allow full coverage of the entire Outer Planets Mod system.

Keep in mind that at this size a black hole wouldn't so much suck in your ship, as much as blowtorch through it.
