Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm running into the same problem right now.

Like the first time this was mentioned, are you using USI-LS? Some of the modules you're trying to switch to might be dependent on USI-LS. Try running it with LS installed and see if it persists.

Hello, I am currently have issues with food production on my base, I have and engineer and scientist on the base but with Cultivate S on both the duna model and the pop up green house but I only get 5% efficiency. Does it only work well when I have a botinist or farmer or is there more to it? both modules have full machinery and resources available to produce stuff.

A scientist or other agroponics kerbal is needed to boost production if you use anything more advanced than a nom-o-matic.

Even without USI-LS it shouldn't cause a stack overflow though. Seems like this is a bug in USITools where a configurable bay with only one valid configuration causes infinite recursion.

You should change ht greenhouse to the "greenhouse" setting.  This increases the efficiency of the Duna module.

Star ratings of engineer and scientist?

Post up a screenshot of your setup with the efficiency and your available resources and supplies storage.

Don't know if this has been answered before, but I have a question regarding logistics and containers.

So I have a dirt drill set up near my base, but it does not seem to be outputting to planetary storage correctly. I can pull from it into my main base and it will be sent there that way, but it does not send dirt to planetary storage by default.

You must have a planetary logistics unit attached directly to the storage unit that you want pushed into PL.

Duna Logistics unit, Tundra pioneer unit, or the new unmanned processing units.

So, i'm having a weird problem.

I just updated to the newest constellation.

None of the Agriculture units will switch functionality in the VAB. The notification that it has changed appears, but the contents of the part(s) do not change from the initial agroponics configuration.

the Kerbitats and other containers change the way they ought to.

I've installed everything properly, to the best of my knowledge, so i don't think its a problem on my end.

before I go declaring bugs, has anyone else noticed this?

Hi everybody,

I'm a bit wary of using GC since when I tried to use it on my current career save I get tons of "Coroutine couldn't be started because the the game object '<insert part name here>' is inactive!" messages every couple of minutes. I get these messages while focused on ships and in the VAB. =(

Is there a way to use the latest MKS version along with EL? =">

 

Regards and thanks in advance =)

If you are getting log spam, the best thing to do is ping @allista:wink:

And there's nothing stopping you from using EL.

If you're not using USI-LS then there's no point to the agriculture modules.  That's usually the only time I hear of these not working.

Hi RoverDude,

Will do =)

I initially got the impression that GC has become a dependency for MKS ="> am I safe to assume that I could use the latest version and remove the GC related directories for the time being while the "Coroutine" related error spam gets sorted out by allista? =">

 

Regards and thanks for the quick reply! =)

Nevermind, i think figured out the issue.

I thought the configuration also changed the type of storage (Cultivator(D) would store dirt; (S), Substrate; as apposed to Agroponics' mulch storage). (I was looking at the inflatable Ag unit.) It would seem this is not the case.

Hi RoverDude =)

Just an update on the GC related error, I ran KSP with the latest version of MKS with GC and RemoteTech (since someone on the GC thread said it may be conflicting with GC) and the rest of the mods I use, but this time without Configurable Containers and the "Coroutine" error (3 lines total) now only appears once when I load a vessel in the VAB and once when switching between vessels. =)

The 3 lines of error are:
Coroutine couldn't be started because the the game object 'Tundra.Workshop250' is inactive!" 
Coroutine couldn't be started because the the game object 'Tundra.AssemblyPlant' is inactive!" 
Coroutine couldn't be started because the the game object 'Ranger.Workshop' is inactive!" 

Hope this helps unless you need anything else. Will be glad to send/reference my log file =)

 

Regards and thanks again. =)

I wonder if someone could check to see if their PDU power distribution is working?

I have a Tundra PDU with both Microwave Power Tranceiver and Power Coupler attached, and with an engineer onboard.

I have a Karibou parked about 10m next to the PDU with a Fuel Cell Array, but "No PDUs in range" appears when I right click the fuel cell.

(No nullrefs, etc appearing in log)

So how do get my resources back out of the Planetary Warehouses?

Screenshot:

Spoiler

I have:

  • A logistics Module
  • A pilot
  • An ISM with Planetare Warehousing enabled
  • Plenty of Exotic Minerals, MetallicOre amd Metals in the Planetary Storage that I now would like to withdraw from my account

What am I missing?

Working for me.

I believe that's a bug with the Fuel Cell. Have you tried other modules for receiving electricity, such as the Duna modules or the Dedicated Microwave Power Tranceiver part?

My fuel cells also don't see any PDU's, although all other parts that are nearby are perfectly happy with the one I have running.

The first time it was mentioned, RD asked the poster about USI-LS, but didn't mention if it was the cause or the cure. No real solution was offered, and so I asked. Sorry.

 

But, yeah, USI-LS seems to cure the problem. I was using TAC LS before, and assumed it was supported, but I suppose now it is not.

 

Thanks!

I think jd284 touched on the real problem.

Is the Pilot IN the Logistics Module? I believe that is one of the "required crew here" functions. :P

It should pull automatically as it is drained. It will not arbitrarily fill storage to full as I think it only pulls in 10% chunks if it gets too low. Also you might want to try switching to another vessel outside physics range & then switching back after everything has been set up. I've noticed that if you try assembling things on site the various functions don't always activate properly until the vessel is reloaded fully.

If you have a Warehouse enabled storage unit(such as ISM) with the correct resource type and it has less than 25% of that resource, it should refill to 50% of that resource.

Assuming your Pilot and storage unit are in the same vessel as the logistics module, and you have enough of that resource in PL to get the container up to 50%.(and the storage unit has PL enabled of course)

Yes, she is (see screenshot: there is a "Traedith's inventory" option in the Logistics Center, and if you look in her portrait, you see that she's a pilot)

It is almost completely drained.

Thanks, that helped me. Apparently I needed to restart my game - now it works as expected.

Seems like the pricing still has a few gremlins in it, the 2.5m and 3.75m MPUs both cost negative funds dry and hiring an MKS-spec kerbal from the AC with 0 courage and 100 stupidity costs you -14K (-28K and -42K when 1 and 2-star). Logged as issue #1188.

So, I've looked around the tutorial documentation but I've still got a couple questions before I start trying to design a self sufficient colony on Vall.

When it comes to crew, does the number of kerbals matter? If I have an engineer on my mining base (and a pilot for logistics to xfer raw materials to a processing facility) would I get better results with 2 engineers? Do engineers also increase the rate at which converters such as the workshop work, and would multiple engineers do better?

I seem to recall that pilots reduce overall efficiency, scientists increase it, and engineers increase it a lot.. with skill levels mattering too. Is that still true? Where do all these new types fit in?

Number of kerbals have no effect, only the best one for each skill counts;

Engineers increase some converters efficiency, but some other converters are boosted by scientists (or more specific new MKS classes). Again no need to have several same type Kerbals.

The "pilots reduce overall efficiency" etc thing, does not look like it ever was the case in MKS. I think it's the mechanism for Extraplanetary Launchpads "productivity" (and might depend on *where* you put the kerbals too).

Ah, right. Now I remember. That -1 productivity, 1.5 for sci, and 2.5 for engi's thing was EL's workshop productivity. Crossing some wires in the old brain there. Thanks for clearing that up.

Now I know I can make more minimalistic mining outposts rather than massive sprawling complexes home to armies of engineers.

Actually, with the new MPUs (which have inbuilt automated PL push capacity) and automated drills, you can make reasonable unmanned outposts now (I made a PR for MPUs to get heat mechanics and an LF-OX mode next patch as well as a 900% ore processing productivity buff).
