Welcome to the development thread for Making Alternate History! Inspired by the alternate history universe of Eyes Turned Skyward, this pack brings you a set of stock-a-like Artemis / Altair landers and habitats complete with all the parts necessary for a voyage to another solar body. Making Alternate History was previously labeled as 100% dependent upon Textures Unlimited, however this is revised and Textures Unlimited is now only required if you would like to use the Mk1 and Mk3 Habitat modules. At time of posting, Textures Unlimited is version 1.9.x and no one can be responsible for any issues that arise from Textures Unlimited 1.9.x being run on 1.10.x. In testing with this mod, things worked fine. Thank you @Shadowmage Download Textures Unlimited: Download Making Alternate History Update 1.10.1 now from Spacedock: Download Installation: Extract the contents of the GameData folder to your GameData folder. Structure should then read GameData\MAH NOTE: When Bluedog Design Bureau addon is installed, the descent stage engines will function as liquid hydrogen and the descent stage fuel will change to liquid hydrogen / oxidizer. When BDB is not installed, the engine will function as a standard LFO engine and the descent stage fuel will adjust accordingly as well. Optional Configs: Config files reside inside a patches folder and will automatically detect installed add-ons and function appropriately. No action is necessary on the user's part. Patches include: Connected Living Space Kerbal Inventory System Snacks TAC Life Support USI Life Support Tweakscale Changelog: Update 1.10.1 Re-compile for 1.10.1 New colliders for cargo bay on Descent Stage (you can now store small items in the bay easily) Added crew report function to all crewed modules Added small electric generator to all crewed modules Config file clean-ups and some various small changes like model= instead of mesh= Update 1.4.2 Re-compile of all parts for 1.4.2 compatibility Update 1.3.1 Re-compile of all parts for KSP 1.3.1 compatibility Update 1.2 Added 4x attachment nodes to the ascent stage for the RCS thrustersRCS thrusters now have an attachment nodeReduced size of RCS thrusters slightly to not look awkward on ascent stageFixed some funkiness with the airlock hatches on all modulesFixed inaccurate plume on ascent stage enginesAdded Real Plume configs for ascent and descent enginesFixed center of mass and adjusted attachment nodes accordingly on all partsAscent stage now has an IVAIVA has extra props when using Near Future PropsFixed Kerbal Inventory System and Connected Living Space patches (They now function properly)Greatly reduced fuel volume in descent stage (without BDB addon)Ascent stage now supports 4x Kerbals A very special thank you to @CobaltWolf @Shadowmage @Nertea @blackheart612 @JadeOfMaar @taniwha @EmbersArc @alexustas @T-10a @hieywiey @Rock3tman_ @Daishi @Angel-125 Making Alternate History is License CC-BY-4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

I've put together a selection of parts meant for the building of bases on foreign bodies. Designed to tesselate on a cubic grid and represent a more permanent foothold. No strict mod dependencies Configs provided for MKS, Near Future Electronics, Community Tech Tree, and Connected Living Space functionality. Benefits greatly from a means to build away from the KSC e.g. Ground Construction/Extraplanetary launchpads Heavy parts, may benefit from Ubiozur Welding for structural Integrity. Reasonably light weight otherwise, tried to keep computer resource usage to a minimum.

This is the development thread for Mother, a parts pack for making motherships. Links: Roadmap Donate:

It's a busy day at the Space Center as the new T.R.A.P Engines arrive from General Universal and Kerbal-Tech. These engines were predicted to have a much better performance at a higher altitude than previous engines. Jeb's test flight was scheduled for the next day. This gave the engineers only half a day to mount the three new engines on three identical planes. The next day Jeb goes on his test flight, testing the "Mouse T.R.A.P" engine. Jeb reports that the engine is performing as expected at high altitude. Jeb tests the other two engines successfully. This is a mod which adds three new engines: The Mouse T.R.A.P, the Bear T.R.A.P, and the Rhino T.R.A.P. The engines all have the same model, that of the stock Rapier engine. The way they work is by having better performance at low altitude, at the cost of using more Intake Air, and better performance at higher altitudes by using more liquid fuel, but less Intake Air. These modes automatically switch, but you can also manually switch the modes. The engine switching works pretty much like the Rapier engine. I made the actual changes to the .cfg files, creating this mod, but the idea was all my friend @Lucast0909's. He's given me permission to publish this mod, and he says that I don't need to credit him, but as we all know, the idea is half of the mod. My idea for version 1.1.0 of this mod was to use the variant switching introduced in KSP 1.4 to enable you to have more than one model for the engine. The idea is that you can have the model of the Rapier, or say the Panther, even the Swivel, picking the look that works best for your plane. However, I found out that that is not possible. I will try to learn to model, to give these engines better textures. I think these engines are tech tree and cost balanced, but please let me know. Please give me any feedback you have. If anybody has a better name for the mod, please tell me. License: Unlicense Download: Spacedock

I am trying to create some battletech style drop ships (see below) but I'm at a lack for curved parts. Does any one know of a parts pack (1.3) with curved structural parts other then clear domes?

Installation Installation is simple. Copy the folder “kerbodynePlus” to your GameData folder. Make sure you have KSP 1.1 pre-release or higher. About Kerbodyne Plus is a parts pack for Kerbal Space Program. It gives players the parts required for building very large interplanetary ships and stations, making for a more enriching end-game experience. Project Goals Improve end-game play Provide beautifully designed parts Keep designs grounded in reality (or at worst near-future) Remain mod agnostic (Kerbodyne Plus does not support or hinder other mods) Credits Current Team Bonus Eventus — 3d Modeling, CFG design, Project Lead @Table - Beta Tester @cy4n - Beta Tester Special thanks This mod would not exist without the work of my predecessors nil2work, Bac9, and Roverdude as well as everyone at the addon dev KSP forum. I’d also like to thank all the users of Kerbodyne Plus. This is my first mod, so I’ve had to learn quite a lot as the project progressed. Thanks for being patient!

Special thanks to @AccidentalDisassembly and @jackalope50 for helping me catch this! Release Notes - 1.0751: * Fixed incorrect readme file. This release will BREAK any saves from Kerbodyne Plus V1.0, so backing up save files is highly encouraged! Added ELF Thruster Added A8A Fission Reactor Added T202 F-2 Xe Integrated Truss Adjusted ISP and fuel flow for ELF Engine Fixed a problem with srf attach weakness in both S6 radial decouplers and S6 tank clusters Adjusted EC of T202 Batteries from 6000 to 4000. Fixed a minor problem with XL-6 Landing Strut where when in the start extended state, upon launch sometimes the craft would spawn halfway inside the launch pad or bounce into the air incredibly high, haha Release Notes - 1.051: This release will BREAK any saves from Kerbodyne Plus V1.0, so backing up save files is highly encouraged! This is an early version of Kerbodyne Plus. Names in cfg files are subject to change, so updating in the future WILL BREAK GAMES. A quick update to address a bug with Kerbodyne S6-94640 Tank flag, where the flag texture was unusually distorted. Fixed cost issue with the Kerbodyne S6-94640 Tank, Kerbodyne S6-7890 Tank Cluster, and Kerbodyne S6-7890 X4 Tank Cluster, where cost of the part was less than total cost of fuel. fixed a few spelling mistakes in part descriptions. Many parts are still to come, such as ion engines and the revamped NRAX converter, as well as some other really neat parts! Check out the dev thread for more info: Link Release Notes - 1.05: This release will BREAK any saves from Kerbodyne Plus V1.0, so backing up save files is highly encouraged! This is an early version of Kerbodyne Plus. Names in cfg files are subject to change, so updating in the future WILL BREAK GAMES. This release of Kerbodyne Plus was mostly made to address issues do to KSP 1.1 pre-release. Added new part descriptions for all of the T404 parts. Added new resources to all T404 parts. Balanced T404 mass and cost variables. Fixed a scaling bug with the XL-6 Landing Strut. Added new part, T404 Structural Hub Changed releaseNotes.tx to releaseNotes.md Added new part Kerbodyne PFR-6 Stack Decoupler. Replaced the Behemoth booster with the Behemoth Launch System (size 6 9x engine cluster with custom particle and sound effects). Added new part S6 B-1x9 "Behemoth" Liquid Fuel Engine. Added new part Kerbodyne ADTP-3-6 (adapter fuel tank). Fixed a bug where the Kerbodyne PFR-6 Stack Decoupler would sometimes crash the game. Added several new parts. See future K+ 1.1 release notes for details. Yes, I deleted the T202 to T404 adapter. If I add it back it will look like the T404 to 3.75M adapter (I think the T404 to 3.75M looks good with T202). Added bulkhead sort, all the parts have a custom bulkhead of "kp", so you can quickly get to all the Kerbodyne Plus parts. You can also search for "kp" or "kerbodynePlus" in the tag search (as well as "behemoth" or "behe" for all the behemoth parts and "t404" for all the t404 parts). T404, T202, and behemoth have custom bulkhead profiles, so you can sort that way to ("t404", "t202", "behemoth"). I added new tag entries for all parts. Rebalanced all the part costs and tech tree placement. Increased the size of XL Landing Strut. Rebalanced weight and heat tolerance for all parts. Added new RSP-A3 Radial Stack Point (acts like a hardpoint with 2 attach nodes. It's physicless so it transfers mass to the part its surface attached to like the cubic octagonal strut). Changed the texture for T404 inner walls from orange to black, because in some cases, the t404 b struts were turning orange when zoomed out do to mipmapping. I'll probably remap the texture to prevent this in the future. Changed the size and placement of the particle effects for Behemoth engines. Added the new T404 B-2 and B-3 trusses. Added new T202 B-2 integrated truss. Added T202 BA-64 Battery Array - 6000 ec Added 3 new structural Tank Couplers each with 10 attachment points but different configurations. These new orange structural parts will make up a third tier of construction for the purpose of making even bigger superstructures. Added S6 radial decoupler part of the behemoth launch system. Added T404 H-3 which replaces the older T404 B-3 (naming was weird before, the size was 2 and it's configuration and purpose are fundamentally different). Added Kerbodyne S6-7890 X4 Tank Cluster (4x 7.5m tanks, t404 center) and Kerbodyne S6-7890 Tank Cluster (5x 7.5m tanks, no t404 center). Added R-D HLRX4 (behemoth class rcs) Changed the Kerbodyne S3 Smart Cone SAS torque from 75 to 300 for 1.1 stability Rebuilt the cfg file for XL-6 Landing Strut using 1.1 wheel modules (thanks to @NecroBones @sarbian for their help with this). Remodeled all T404 parts adding struts to sidewalls (now they really look like trusses!). Remodeled Leviathan Solar Wing increasing total length by 20M. Remade panel animations. Replaced the central mast truss from alpha texture to real geometry. (Each panel has its own collider, making for a part with hundreds of colliders. This causes lag. However, when the part is destroyed every panel tears off quite spectacularly. In ksp 1.1, on my machine, the lag was tolerable. I plan to rebuild this part in the future to accommodate a more compact animation, so will try to optimize the physics at that time). Redesigned T404 3.75M Adapter (adapter is now hollow, has cool struts similar the XL-6 Landing leg and now longer holds any electric charge). Adjusted the scale of the CM 1 internal space for compatibility with the new 1.1 crew overlays. Added new S6 7.5M Fairing (increases to 15 meters in diameter) There's an easter egg I left (mistake) I wonder if anyone found it. Many parts are still to come, such as ion engines and the revamped NRAX converter, as well as some other really neat parts! Check out the dev thread for more info: Link Pics

Hey there, I am looking for an upper stage parts pack, which would allow me to make something like the proposed Exploration Upper Stage or something along those lines. Maybe I have missed a mod or so, but I think apart from SSTU, which is quite WIP still and the Talisar upper stage, which is part of CMES, there is no independent (and recent) heavy upper stage model out there, isn't it? Regards and thanks, Sebastian

This is a persistent problem with parts mods - any mod i use with parts, which is I don't get all the parts from the pack. I put the folders in game data as told or as a second try put the parts in the parts folder but some parts just won't appear in the VAB or SPH or work with prebuilt ships. I do have a mac if that makes a difference. Does anyone else have this problem? What am i doing wrong with the install?
