cool!  A full days worth of snacks might be a little OP though, unless you fixed the bug where an EVAed astronaut's snacks are not subtracted from the mothership when they leave.  I foresee an exploit where you could set Meals Per Day to maximum and use EVAs to replenish your food supply just by sending them outside and then back in.

Since we have options for meals per day and also snacks per meal, maybe an EVAed kerbal should only carry 1 meal's worth of snacks, rather then a full day's ration.  How often are they going to be outside for an entire day anyway?

I fixed that issue. Kerbals pull snacks from the ship when they EVA, and put it back when they return. You need a full day's worth because you don't know when snack time will be, and if you don't have enough then you'll take a hit.

cool,

Speaking of which, would it be possible to make it so that the feedings are still random, but also spaced equally throughout the day? or maybe enforce a minimum time between meals?  You wouldn't want the kerbals to eat all their meals within 5 minutes and then go hungry for 6 hours, right?

Sorry to bug you, I'm just trying to pick apart the timing algorithm for potential issues.

Not really. When you enable random snacking, the time is based upon meals per day. So if you have 3 meals per day, you snack between 1-2 hours.

While playing one of the scenarios, I think this is because scenarios do not set difficulty and Snacks mod doesn't know what to do, no such error occurs in career or sandbox(i think), still maybe it;s important.

Ok, I think I fixed that, and found a situation where the MM patches weren't adding Snacks to parts. I fixed it for new vessels in the editor; now I can watch for part placement events and add snacks as needed. I might get to the point were the MM patch won't be needed. :)

I'm not quite sure if I'm missing some vital detail, but actual snack consumption seems to be only 40% of the expected value. A 50 day stay (1 snack per meal and day, no active recyclers) in a Mk.I Lander Can still leaves me with 30 snacks and an estimation of 30 more days before supplies run out.

Meals per day is supposed to be 3 by default, maybe this setting is 1 in your save? With 1 meal/day  a can can supply for 83 days.

Do you have random snacking turned on?

As I said, I was playing with 1 snack per meal, day and Kerbal and thus expected to last 50 days with 50 snacks in a one-seater. Switching to other values changed the consumption rates accordingly, but actual consumption still seems to be roughly half of what I and the estimation window calculate for a given setting.

I turned random snacking off when I noticed the deviation as I suspected this might be the cause of the trouble, but this doesn't seem to have had a noticeable effect.

Am I right to assume, that no-one else experiences the same problem and this is likely a local issue? So far I'm only using KAC, OPM and the necessary dependencies, but this might still be a case of mod incompability, I guess.

@Angel-125, two questions:

  1. How hard is it to add the Ore->Snacks converter to other labs? I like using OPT parts and their lab is fairly convenient (though I could just put a normal lab in the cargo bay), so it would be nifty if that lab could also make snacks.
  2. For a real long term outpost on a planet/moon, could I set up a drill on a nuke (or big solar arrays and huge batteries) harvesting away at ore, then a ore->snacks converter constantly running, and Kerbals being fed? I'd have to check on the power plant fuel, but I'm pondering methods for long term outposts, and not having to worry about them run out of food while I'm time warping long missions elsewhere.

Yes and yes. For the ore->snacks converter, there is a MM_stock.cfg file that adda the converter to the lab. All you need to do is copy the text for the converter and change the @PART section to use the name of the part that you want.

I'm new to the whole modding thing. Is there anything I need to worry about, or do to integrate with ModuleManager properly? I'm not even entirely sure what ModuleManager does.. aside from manage modules. I presume it takes care of part conflicts somehow?

Thanks @Angel-125, worked like a charm! Got a working snack processor in the OPT science module.

thank you for this mod :)

however i see sometime the time displayed in months, but how many time is 1 month please? ( hours or kerbin days)

1 month is 6.43 days according to the official KSP Wiki. You can also change the time format to days; simply consult the Snacks entry in the in-game KSPedia.

thank you, i didn't know about this definition!

for those wondering here is the KSpedia:

What i would prefer  for Snacks however is a 3rd option :P:

display in (kerbin)years:days:hours (no month and display hours instead of 0,X day)

Updated to Snacks 1.5.5

- Fixed some NREs.
- Fixed a situation where the ModuleManager patch wasn't adding snacks to crewed parts; Snacks can now dynamically add them when adding parts to vessels in the VAB/SPH.

adding or removing any part in VAB get's this, in Sandbox

@Angel-125

I'm working on updating Dang It!, and a tester is having a problem with Snacks.

So, before I start digging, I saw that on SpaceDock, the version seems to be for 1.2 (unless you just forgot to update Spacedock), and the last version was released on 11/2

So, do you have a 1.2.1 version available?
