Edit: Ugh; not sure why I stuffed up the quoting like that; can't seem to fix it. Okay, will try that out on my install to see whats happening/if its is happening for me too.

Have you got RPM installed and have the transparent windows enabled? This feature is known to have a huge impact on the performance. @Elway358 & @REGZZZ These are some really nice looking bases you put up there Edited February 20, 2016 by Nils277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Raster Prop Monitor version 0.23.0 or up you can right click the parts in the editor or flight and turn transparency ON,OFF,or AUTO. Turn them to OFF.

daltonater Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Ah. It seems this update is right around the corner. I really like how this mod is comming along, and as stated many times before, no stock alike mod is better than this one for base building. If only my launch vehicals, were well, reliable. I gotta say, some of the designs that people have made are jaw dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P38sheep Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) @Nils277 just downloaded this wonderful mod! I'm loving it so far and am trying to creat my first base. Few questions. first any tips? second I think I found a bug, the detachable wheels only attach to the meerkat (love that name btw) on one side. I tried to use symmetry to auto place it and symetry turns off when it attaches. Also holding alt doesn't align it on the far side just on the near side. I haven't tried it on any of the other parts and gave a decent search so sorry if this has already been reported. Because everyone always seems to suggest an edit, some windows on the walk way tubes would be cool, just aesthetic nothing functional. Lovin this mod so far thank you for all your hard work! I look forward to building my first ever bases with It :-) win7 ksp1.0.5 e.v.e interstellar planet shine Kerbal alarm clock and remote tech Edited February 21, 2016 by P38sheep Added context and comp build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try out the sample vessle or look at the galleries from the OP. They can show how to deploy a base 2. The symmetry is an old enemy of me And this seems to unfortunately be an error/feature of KPS itself. For surface attachment this should work, but when the leg snaps to a node then symmetry is turned off. I think KSP does not support symmetrical attachment for nodes.. 3. Windows on the tubes may be a good idea bit i'm afraid that won't be possible with the way a contruct the tubes currently. But i will have a look at it. @Spheniscine I have been able to reproduce the bug with the not extracting vessels you have mentioned. I will take care of that bug in the update. I also have searched the contract system to find a way to update the contracts when deploying. There is a method called Update() for a contract. I just have to find out how to use the API to get the active contracts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladthemad Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Not sure if anyone else brought this up yet, but in the USI life support support parts, it looks like there's a mixup in the resources.The greenhouse turns Mulch, Fertilizer, and Electric Charge into Supplies, which makes sense. Kerbals eat supplies, make mulch, you use the Algae Farm to turn mulch and ore into fertilizer, and then the Greenhouse takes all three and turns it into supplies. Now, the smaller Greenhouse Container takes just Mulch and Electric Charge, and turns that into Supplies, eliminates the need for fertilizer by the looks of it, making it much easier to make supplies. Is this working as designed, or was the fertilizer requirement accidentally left out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this working as designed, or was the fertilizer requirement accidentally left out? Well this is mostly due to the somewhat outdated support for USI-LS that will be updated with the next release. When i added support for USI-LS the small USI greenhouse also only converted Mulch into Supplies. The difference was that there was a loss of ~30% (i think) in the process so you get less and less supplies/mulch. The big greenhouse had an efficiency of 100% but needed fertilizer. With the next update both will need fertilizer to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladthemad Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 When you attach wheels and feet to the LV25 Meerkat Landing Assist or Planetary Adapter parts, while deployed the feet and wheels deploy at different heights. This causes problems when trying to add sections to already existing bases where you've already ejected the wheels. Assuming it hasn't already been suggested somewhere in the many posts, any chance you could change it so they are the same height when deployed?
