PolecatEZ Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 One of the module types (logistics?) and/or the presence of an engineer (or mechanic) allows distribution of machinery to an area for maintenance purposes. I always found it a bit buggy so ended up tying my base together with bailing wire anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storage vessel and the vessel that needs machinery are about 40m from each other, both have power and control, and the vessel that needs machinery has an engineer, and yet as days pass, nothing appears to happen. I ended up dealing with it with KAS pipes, but that seems like a kludge, especially since I'll have to keep running pipes around my base as machinery wears out. I've got to be missing something. Edit: I hope this comes across right. I'm not complaining, I'm just assuming that there is something that I'm doing wrong personally.

Unless i'm completely mistaken, the engineer should be sitting in a Workshop to do maintenance... Not that i'm sure that's the solution, but if you haven't tested that yet...

I thought that was just required to automatically keep things topped up. I didn't realize you needed it to move machinery around at all. I guess I'll try that, then. I assume the workshop has to be on the same vessel that the machinery is stored in? Anyway, I'll try that. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughesHeadHunter Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Will this work with version 1.10 (newest version)? It says incompatible on Ckan but so does B9 and B9 is working just fine. I just don't want to download it and ruin my save file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use 1.10, so I haven't tested whether that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning_Gamer Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 so after the latest update i have found that my game wont load. it stops at this part "UmbraSpaceIndustries/MKS/Parts/LightGlobe/MKS_LightGlobe" and when uninstalled i have weird things happen to my recruitment page to where i cant recruit kerbals and it says i have way more than i do.

Thanks. Lemme know if that fixed it, i'm curious myself... As far as i know the moving of resource only happens when resource is requested, and machinery should only get requested when an engineer is trying to top it up, right? At least that was my reasoning ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking you are using a Kerbal on EVA to connect that right? does it show you the transparent blue-ish tube where it's going to go? Else you're going to have to describe what you're doing a bit more clearly and post your mod list so someone who knows more than me can help you... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbodyne Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hello, good folks, This is Turbodyne . I seem to be having trouble installing MKS. I have 1.7.3 and i put "USI_Kolonization_Systems_MKS_OKS-1.2.0.0" into the Ksp Game Data folder; but only the pulse drills and different recruiting methods were changed. The Tech tree is still the same, and so is everything else . I don't know what to do. I think the installation process was the where the problem was. HOW do you install mks ps. Is MKS compatible with Real Solar System Mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may help to take a screenshot of your Gamedata folder for people to see what may be the problem and also provide a link to your log file. Have you tried it without the Real Solar System mod?

Other than adding parts, MKS does not change the tech tree, The Community Tech tree mod is recommended for this purpose. 3 hours ago, Turbodyne said: Is MKS compatible with Real Solar System Mod? To the best of my knowledge the RSS mod primarily changes the planetary size and layout, possibly with tweaks for other mods like community resources. So long as the background processes are not modified(ie changes to offline production), MKS should still be good. You my or may not need to manually tweak the few engine parts in MKS to match the RSS changes if you intend to use them however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Ksp GameData folder, there are Squad, SquadExpansion, USI_Kolonization_Systems_MKS_OKS-1.2.0.0. In USI_Kolonization_Systems_MKS_OKS-1.2.0.0 GameData folder, there are 000_USITools, CommunityResourcePack, Firespitter, GroundConstruction, UmbraSpaceIndustries.

You want the contents of the gamedata folder from MKS in your gamedata folder. you don't want nested gamedata folders your gamedata folder should look like Squad, SquadExpansion, 000_USITools, CommunityResourcePack, Firespitter, GroundConstruction, UmbraSpaceIndustries. This should be similar for all mods BTW. The path is important Edited August 7, 2020 by goldenpsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndureChaos Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I've revisited MKS after a long period of time after being frustrated at losing my game after every steam update. I've sent a bunch of Duna modules over to the Mun and 9 Kerbals for a "staff party' (ha ha). But when when using the group grab system, I'm able to move a Duna module, it defaults upside-down. I'm fine re-rotating it, and moving it, but I'm limited in the B/N movements, and can't get it above the terrain. At this point Gremlins propel it upwards, and... well, this goes on and on. I've Googled and skimmed the forum (not all 300+ pages), but can't find a solution that works. I'm guessing it's such a common thing (that I just missed), I'm happy if someone could just link the solution for me. Honestly, I'm 12 KSP hours in and too much beer to fly a rocket, but I did the same thing sober yesterday, so I'm asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
