[Min KSP: 1.12.2] Pathfinder - Space Camping & Geoscience

[CajunInABox]

Thanks, glad it's working for you.

Good question. I don't use CTT, so I've placed the parts in the early to mid portion of the stock tech tree. I'd have to look at CTT to see what nodes would be appropriate. The basic idea is that habitation elements (Ponderosa, Casa, foundation modules like Saddle, Switchback, and Buckboard) are available in the pioneering phase of exploration, followed by the science elements (Doc), and finally the industrial elements (Hacienda, Homestead, Stockyards).

I have a feeling the colonization nodes at the bottom would work well for the ground-based modules, and the structural tree leading to orbital megastructures for the orbital pieces. This would give people 2 wildly different choices on where to go in the tech tree.

I currently have USI OKS/MKS to fill those nodes, but the entire mod is really redundant with pathfinder, and I honestly wish I could just un-install it.

edit: I forgot you added the buffalo. That would probably fit well in the exploration branch.

Hey there, Angel. First of all i would like to thank you for this wonderful mod - Pathfinder combines fun, utility and nice looking models in one kickass package. Keep up the good work!

Now, there's several issues that sorta interfere with the whole pathfindin' business for me:

- Jumping bases. Despite meticulously seeking out as-flat-as-posbibble sites for construction and ensuring that most of the structures are bolted to the ground, bases keep randomly wrenching Saddles from the ground and lifting several buildings slightly above the ground. God forbid i try to accelerate time during mining or spaceship construction, then the whole installation flies good 50 meters into the air before crashing upside down. Thus, Duna and Laythe violently rebuffed any colonization attempts. Can you advise on this? Is there specific things to be avoided?

-Nullrefers. Usually start after bolting down first Saddle and persist until scene is reloaded. May sometimes return if Saddle's KAS port is disconnected, while KAS-powered Mineshaft seems to be unaffected.

-Buffalo hitch framerate drop. No exceptions thrown at all, and yet mere presence of this part in VAB or outside of editor causes FPS drop down to ~30. Have no idea what might cause this.

While we at it, i'd like to make couple of suggestions regarding hardware.

New wheels are well made overall, but still could benefit from further tuning. Just as with their predecessor, Mountain Goat are somewhat small in diameter which means that particularly steep slopes have a nasty habit of destroying front mounted equipment (like winches), so it might be a good idea to give MG larger clearance. Suspension and "wide wheelbase" mode are *kinda* lacking given that Buffalo tends to be top-heavy.

Or, perhaps, it would make more sense to leave m1a1 alone and consider making some sort of m1a2 heavy duty wheels - less portable, but more suitable for heavier utility vehicles, like mobile crane or ore hauler. Or particularly rough terrain.

Would also like to request 2 parts: 4x buffalo base and some sort rear end cover for cab, b/c slapping flatbed section to cover useless door is kinda... meh. Something like Buffalo-to-1.25 adapter, just without that ugly port.

- Jumping bases: I have two bases on Duna right now and have only seen this problem with a base that's on a hill. The other one works just fine.

- Null Refs: Without logs and a picture of your base, I can't help.

- Buffalo hitch: what part are you talking about?

Thanks for the suggestions on the parts.

I have a feeling the colonization nodes at the bottom would work well for the ground-based modules, and the structural tree leading to orbital megastructures for the orbital pieces. This would give people 2 wildly different choices on where to go in the tech tree.

I currently have USI OKS/MKS to fill those nodes, but the entire mod is really redundant with pathfinder, and I honestly wish I could just un-install it.

edit: I forgot you added the buffalo. That would probably fit well in the exploration branch.

Thanks, I'll look into CTT. Actually, if you have a list of the CTT nodes and want to try placing things, I'll be happy to work with you on what could go where.

I need to preface this post with the fact that amazingly drunk right now. YMMV.

Having issues with the normal link in CTT's main thead, but w/e. Here's an imgur link to a picture of the tech tree: http://i.imgur.com/87SeFtQ.png

Here's a picture of the entire CTT, with the zones I was mentioning circled in red: http://imgur.com/r2LmnP3

from top to bottom: the structural tree, the exploration tree, and the colonization tree

In retrospect, the colonization tree's top branch focuses on orbital, so I guess you would want to put the ground structures in the bottom tree?

So I spent like an hour typing out about half the full names in the tech tree, and then I found the config file with the actual shortened names you would need to implement CTT in Pathfinder. Here's the copy paste of my config file:

Take a look in the base directory for KSP. You'll find them there.

I have two bases on Duna right now and have only seen this problem with a base that's on a hill. The other one works just fine.

Well, even on flat surface northwards of KSC my test base managed to bork itself after time acceleration. Here's screen of pre-destruction wobble.

- Null Refs: Without logs and a picture of your base, I can't help.

Here they are. Note extra "tube" from Gaslight linking to already connected port - this stuff appears only after scene is reloaded. Unlinking such port is surefire way to get nullrefers.

- Buffalo hitch: what part are you talking about?

The base issues might be from the breaking force and breaking torque on the parts. I've upped them significantly for the next release; try adding a zero to the end so that a breaking force of 280 becomes 2800. Give the Switchback and the Ponderosas a breaking force/torque of 5000 and see if that helps. Meanwhile I'll look into the trailer hitch issue.

One thing I'm noticing is that if you're at a high timewarp and then drop to 1x, bases have issues. I've been warping down to 5x, letting the game settle, then warping to 1x, and that seems to help.

The cable issues comes from KIS, so I am at a loss about what to do about that.

Can you post your logs so I can take a look? Thanks.

I finally ran into the base exploding issue on my second test base on Duna, and it appears related to an interaction with the terrain and the Saddle attached to the terrain. I started to notice it when the plane I brought with me started jumping around after timewarps. It was really profound when loading the base. It seems that when physics is applied to the scene, that is when the base has issues. Interestingly, my other test base has no problems and it too is on sloped terrain. The only difference is that the unaffected base uses a Ponderosa and the glitched base uses a Switchback. I will see if I can salvage the base with the Switchback and replace it with a Ponderosa as the root base element. That might make a difference. Maybe it's not the terrain, but the Switchback that is causing the problem.

That seems to help somewhat, test base failed to destroy itself this time, but the problem with wobble still remains and i'm positive that similar base on Duna would still uproot itself at very least.. In fact, 99% of the time it's chukwagons and and haciendas tend to initiate the whole jump: once loaded with resources this modules sag under added weight and press against\clip through the ground, so perhaps this is the main problem. As far as i know, such sag and wobble come from weak attachment node, so strengthening those might help.

One thing I'm noticing is that if you're at a high timewarp and then drop to 1x, bases have issues. I've been warping down to 5x, letting the game settle, then warping to 1x, and that seems to help.

Can confirm this, gradually slowing down timewarp helps noticeably.

Can you post your logs so I can take a look? Thanks.

Which logs are you talking about? There were no crashes, so no usual log+dump.

Containerised Ponderosa is no different from switchback, at least in my experience. Worst of all is Ponderosa -> Hacienda -> Chukwagon combo, as 2 modules without Saddle wobble like hell during loading or timewarp, and that's why i try to use Saddles as much as possible. It does help with wobble, but does noting against sagging.

I've got a minor bug report for you (didn't take logs I should have thought about that, but I'm not sure they would be useful anyway)... I installed latest version on a FRESHLY installed KSP (fresh from steam). TERRAIN scanner works for the initial scan, but the on-going monitoring doesn't seem to be working.

I installed latest version on a FRESHLY installed KSP (fresh from steam). TERRAIN scanner works for the initial scan, but the on-going monitoring doesn't seem to be working.

I've run into something like that. With a bunch of mods installed, I can run the initial scan but I don't see the resource overlay. I just tried stock M700 and have the same problem. I tried just stock KSP and my mods, and things work fine. Not sure where the problem is at the moment. Of course I'm running with the 1.0.5 update, which isn't quite done yet..

[rottielover]

Same, but for me the overlay works, it's just the "on-going" part. No biggie, things break every update Thanks for all the work you do.

Got another minor one, bucket boards and similar don't show the mount option when placed on muncrete slabs that have been "attached". However you can hold H and attach and it seemed to be ok, though I did not try time warp. Ran out of time for that session.

I do have to say that was the smoothest session of ksp in memory. Usually I'd have to quick save after just about each operation due to explosions or other kraken events. This time I drove a buffalo out of a plane cargo hold, went 30ish m/s with it for a sustained time, then setup two modules along with a solar tower and some lampposts.

This time I drove a buffalo out of a plane cargo hold, went 30ish m/s with it for a sustained time, then setup two modules along with a solar tower and some lampposts.

Thanks for the feedback. I will have the 1.0.5 update tonight. The Buckboards not having the mount option: I got rid of the KIS part Mount module that lets you auto-mount the Buckboards to the Saddle (and other parts too) since I didn't want users hitting that Release button and causing Kraken issues.

The exploding base issue is related to terrain and KIS; thus far it is hit or miss. As far as I can tell, I've set up the Saddle to be just like the KIS concrete pylon. It's possible that you might need to put down a Patio and then mount the Saddle on top of that in areas where the terrain is questionable. I'm going to try that with my test base that exploded due to collisions and see what happens. I don't expect that issue to be solves with the upcoming update though.

Regarding the sagging inflatable modules: I think this is also KIS related but I'm not sure. Still investigating..

New Part

- Added the Smoke Pipe portable cooling tower. It is good at radiating heat. Be sure to keep it charged with electricity and fill it with water; it needs both.

Gold Digger

- Increased efficiency on the drill, but it now also generates heat. Be sure to plan accordingly.

Hacienda

- Added the Claw Marks Strip Miner. Credit goes to AdmiralTigerclaw for the concept, thanks AdmiralTigerclaw!

Hot Springs

- The Hot Springs now generates heat. Be sure to plan accordingly.

Sunburn Lab

- Added Ore, Water, and Minerals resources to help with conversions.

Pigpen

- Added Organics, Ore, and Minerals resources.

Flatbeds

- Removed KIS part mount module; it was only applicable to a small number of parts.

- You can now surface-attach parts to the flatbeds.

Buckboards

- Anybody can now stack Buckboards.

Other

- Added ability to switch between different resources to the stock shuttle and airliner wings.

- Increased breaking torque and breaking force on all base parts.

- Updated to KSP 1.0.5

Bug Fixes

- The TERRAIN satellite will now benefit from Antenna Range if installed.

- Added missing resources to the Brew Works.

I think the sag in the base parts is caused by two things: excessive weight in the module, and the size zero nodes being used to attach other parts. In my test build, I have changed the connection node sizes to size 2 (used on 2.5m parts) and that helps. I also reduced the storage capacity in the Chuckwagon. Terrain is definitely a factor; some locations are fine for attaching a Saddle to the ground and building bases off of it, other locations can't, and will explode after timewarps. I'm finding that if the base starts to shake a lot after a timewarp then chances are it will explode. Interestingly, my second base, the one that exploded, mostly just lost its saddle and is now resting comfortably on the ground. So some areas are ok with bases just sitting on the ground and don't jump around. It could be that large sprawling bases just don't work in some areas..

Anyway I found a couple of minor issues and will have a hotfix in the next day or two.

I looked through a few pages and didn't find my question. If it was covered, I apologize.

I grab the 'Chuckwagon' habitat and rotate to where I want it. Is there a way to get it from standing on end when you inflate it or am I missing something?

No worries. Like many parts in Pathfinder, the Chuckwagon is designed to clip together with other base elements. The Wiki describes all the parts and how to use them. The Getting Started guide should give you an idea of how the Chuckwagon is used in better detail. Hope that helps, if you have any questions, just let me know.

I'm an idiot... wasn't putting the unit on one of the saddles, just on the ground by itself...

Actually, you might not be that far off. I'm finding that sometimes just putting the base on the ground works better than mounting it to the Saddle. If the base jumps around a lot even when attached to the Saddle, then try just resting it on the ground. It seems that you need a different setup depending upon the terrain itself.

0.9.3

- Increased the node size on all the base attachment nodes.

Chuckwagon

- Moved center of mass for the Chuckwagon to the center of the dome.

- Adjusted storage capacity after taking a closer look at the mesh's volume. No more Tardis Chuckwagon...

Bug Fixes

- You can now carry the Smoke Pipe.

- Some inflatable modules have resources that are kept even when switching templates. Now, those resources won't be affected by the part being inflated or deflated.
