no need.  Just delete the other directories inside.

Or, use CKAN to only install the Recycled Part - Atomic Age

Thanks!

I have some changes on the way for Atomic Age: Mainly I'm bringing the wrap-around radiators up to par with Nertea's Heat Control.

Also, I've noticed that the nuclear jet has an obscenely high heat production value and I wonder if that's on purpose. It's pretty quick to overheat for me (at least, with patches I have that add characteristics to it). If other folks have the overheat issue, I'll reduce this and add it to my PR when it happens.

@linuxgurugamer I've opened the PR for this. There's also a set of Waterfall configs for all engines (not made by me).

Thanks, I'll try to get to it today, if I have time

new release, 0.2.2

• Thanks to @JadeOfMaar for this:
  • Raised their costs, masses, capacities and ElectricCharge demands to compare well with Nertea's Heat Control.
  • Disabled parent cooling only so they're effective from anywhere on vessel.
  • Updated titles and descriptions.
  • Nuclear jet
    • Decreased Isp so it requires more air. It's extremely efficient just by handling IntakeAtm, but it can't be that efficient with IntakeAtm itself.
    • Decreased heat production so it doesn't threaten to overheat so soon.
  • Waterfall
    • Waterfall configs for all engines. Contributed by Hohmannson (same name on GitHub and KSP forum). Derived from Stock Waterfall Effects by Knight of St John.

@linuxgurugamer Thank you for all your wonderful work maintaining so many mods for us. I was just lamenting the loss of some beloved old parts only to discover that you've adopted and saved them here, along with so many others.

Truly, thank you.

@linuxgurugamer, can I borrow the LV-2N and LV-4N clusters?

Yes, the license allows, but please rename the parts to avoid conflicts

Look in the folder, I don't remember.  Recycled Parts contains several mods, each with their own license

What does the Engine ID do?

I think it's used when there are multiple ModuleEngineFX in the config

This is correct. It tells the game which engine effects to use for a given mode on an engine with multiple modes. If I were to venture a guess, the nuclear engine you're looking at has a LOX mode as well which will have a different visual effect. Somewhere in the CFG you should find something similar to this block:

Spoiler

MODULE
    {
        name = MultiModeEngine
        primaryEngineID = LFO
        secondaryEngineID = Monopropellant
        carryOverThrottle = False
        autoSwitchAvailable = False
    }

(Edit) I just noticed in your post that it's being used in a ModuleEngines node as opposed to a ModuleEnginesFX so in that cfg it may actually be doing nothing.

Are there any patches that make the AtomicAge parts run on Liquid Hydrogen?

Not in the mod itself, you would have to look at the RealFuels or other mods like that

I found one apart of KerbalAtomics

Is it intended that installing the Recycled Parts Atomic Age Part of this mod doubles the air intakes?

[Ronjoe]

Heyo, I noticed that the Mk22 cockpit fell off my parts list at some point, even though its game files are still included. Could you please double-check its configuration?

Would need a log file (Player.log)

Here ya go: https://gist.github.com/Ronjoe/6b089bc50fa50c670faadd0bae875abe

I hope that a github gist is acceptable. I started from a fresh install and used CKAN to install Recycled Parts Mk2 Lightning and its dependencies. I ensured the Mk22 dll is present, and started a fresh sandbox save to check whether the cockpit is there. It isn't.

[JadeOfMaar]

Atomic rockets builders are in for a treat. I've fixed the normal map problem with this engine:

-->

And done a balance pass and plume configs pass on FTmN and LV-N Clusters:

@linuxgurugamer @HebaruSan Once these changes are published I'd like Recycled Parts FtmN, FTmN Improved and LVN Clusters to recommend Waterfall and Stock Waterfall Effects.

Related: I'd like my mod Tea Kettle RCS to recommend Recycled Parts FtmN, FTmN Improved and LVN Clusters. I wanted to make engines to go with that RCS but then I found these.... and Bob Kerman's your uncle.

New release, 0.2.4

    Thanks to @JadeOfMaar for all the following:

    FTmN:
        Added/Updated effect configs where necessary, with and without Waterfall.
        Added config for deprecating old redundant/duplicate parts when FTmN and FTmN_New are installed together.
        Added alternators to most engines.
        Raised thrust by 2.5x and mass by roughly 2x.
        Lowered heat production value so engines don't threaten to overheat so quickly.
        Updated titles to neatly group the engines and reflect updated thrust and suggested engine types.
        Updated specific impulse to reflect suggested engine types and be better vacuum optimized.
        Updated tech node positioning.
        Updated some engines into bimodal/LANTR.
        Updated BL40n model to resolve normal map issue.
        
    LV-N Clusters:
        Added/Updated effect configs where necessary, with and without Waterfall.
        Raised thrust by 2.5x.
        Lowered heat production value so engines don't threaten to overheat so quickly.
        Updated titles to make you chuckle and neatly group the engines.
        Updated specific impulse. Added very slight sea level performance.
