lBoBl Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have a small question about orbital shipyards How do you determine where the ships that you build with it are going to be spawned? I'm currently about to launch a very big craft in Kerbin Orbit to build future ships from there. I'm unsure where to put the Orbital Shipyard part because I'm afraid that vessels will spawn inside my big space station if I place it wrong...

Yuubari_ Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I see! (for the hab timers) I have a another (maybe) kinda dumb question, if I want to update for the prerelease version of MKS, what do I need to do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It spawns at a certain distance from your ship, so I wouldn't worry. 12 minutes ago, Yuubari_ said: I have a another (maybe) kinda dumb question, if I want to update for the prerelease version of MKS, what do I need to do ?

Random Chimp Event Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I had a question about the ATLAS harvester: it has an option to deploy/retract, but the harvester doesn't seem to move any, is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It harvests just fine, simply an animation thing. I suspect it's on RD's long list of TODO's. KoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuubari_ Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Heyo! I have a question, I am using the newest release of the Constelation of USI and stuff and my question being that I don't seem to be able to find a certain part(s) I am looking for. ^ it being these landing legs on the left side (saw them on the on the wiki and thought they would be great!) Kind regards Yuu Edit: God, I feel stupid, I found it Edited May 2, 2021 by Yuubari_ Stupidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuubari_ Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) I have a stupidish question, when the tundra module is performing maintenance, it is taking the main reactor offline by putting all the enriched uranium into the the centrifuge again, is there a way to fix/adjust that ? (using Near Future Technologies and Far Future Technoligy parts) Also another question I am little too dense for/to understand, do crew levels effect the efficeny/load of for example the industrial refinery or is effected by a different factor ? And if it is, does the amount of kerbals/max level effect it ? Edited May 3, 2021 by Yuubari_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protoz Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 After searching this entire thread from RoverDude introducing shipyard appearance in March2021 & reading Bleeding Edge github wiki. I still can't figure out where KS-250-O KonStructor - Oribtial is or rather what mod its from. I assume its USI-MKS but i can't find it 1.4.1.0?

Grimmas Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 That's because it's not in 1.4.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmas Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 It's not a mod, it's just a separate repository where he throws together all of his mods into one package. And if you take a look on the aforementioned USI main page you may notice that the very first link in the text links to this very repository. Not to mention that we talk about it and link it every few pages or so in this very thread. So it's not exactly hard to find but YMMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemario Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I have read that having a ship with greater than 1 year of habitation will result in Pilots having their habitation and home requirements met indefinitely, and having a ship with greater than 50 years of habitation results in other specialties gaining the same habitation/home needs met indefinitely bonus. This seems to function properly for me with Pilots, where no matter if a ship has been out in the field for 60 years, if it has a hab capacity of more than 1 year it fulfills that need indefinitely. But when I launch a ship with Bill and Bob as well, the trusty old original Engineer and Scientist specialties, I notice that the hab timer still ticks down, and even though it says "indefinite" for Bill and Bob, when the timer reaches enough days below 50 years, say, 49 years and 300 days, the timer kicks back in to showing "49y" left instead of "indefinite" Am I missing something? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuubari_ Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I have another kinda dumb question for y'all, which USI/MKS parts need to be crewed to operate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modus Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) I don't know if anyone knows this by heart (if someone does, hats of to you), but you can find information on this on the wiki (e.g. https://github.com/UmbraSpaceIndustries/MKS/wiki/Parts-(Duna-Series)#mks-duna-power-distribution-unit , there are 'crew requirements' for some of the parts), and also in the VAB I guess? edit: although I'm not sure if all the info on the wiki is still correct?

Yuubari_ Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I am not too sure, since I didn't find too much information about it, I am mainly concerned about the tundra class parts, the industrial refinery and the assembly plant My reasoning behind it is that I had the tundra nuclear refinery without any crew and it worked perfectly fine, at the same amount of efficiency as the as my fully crewed stuff. Rn I have around 40 engineers (and ofc a couple scientists and a pilot) on my base to fully crew everything, but that might be a liiiitttle excessive, I think xd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everything, kinda the point of a colonization mod. I think the only ones that don't benefit from a crew specialty are the -A automated drills and the MPU converters. That being said, you generally don't need to crew each part separately, just one specialist per craft. The only exception that comes to mind is the new Konfabricator, which needs an engineer on the part itself before it can print other parts.

Yuubari_ Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Oh I see! So I don't need someone a kerbal in every part but just a good amount in general in the craft itself ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't need someone a kerbal in every part but just a good amount in general in the craft itself ? For most parts a single kerbal of each type is sufficient. Outside of the experimental parts, I am pretty sure that Kolonization bonuses are the only benefit of having more than 3 kerbals on each base(one engineer, one pilot, and one scientist) (and Kolonists are better than engineers 2+, as a kolonist counts as all three for kolonization bonuses) Edited May 4, 2021 by Terwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuubari_ Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I got you! Yeah, I read about the different crews on git hub ^^ But if my crew is hanging out in the hab module for example, can they still work with full efficency on the industrial refinery or the assembler or do you need crew specifically in those parts of the craft ? ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if you have 3 engineers (*, **, and ***) then the *** engineer will perform all work on all modules that benefit from engineers, and the other two are more useful going on a trip to get more experience so they can run their own industrial bases.

Thank you very much for explaining it to me! ^^ It helps a lot, because my base has around 40 or so 2 star engineers on it xdd I know what I am needing to do now, redo my entire crew compliment for my base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
