I don’t make the RO configs. But Nessus was working on it  while ago but it takes time to get everything working correctly.

Oh sorry I think I worded this incorrectly. Basically what I'm asking is will it be possible to add the new features of V4.0 to a version that is compatible with 1.8.1 so that it can be used with my RO playthrough (that isnt 1.11.x but 1.8.1). I wasn't asking if RO compatibility would be added to the new versions (sorry if that didn't come through).

Oh my mistake! TE v4.0 should be compatible with 1.8.1. I haven't tested it myself but I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work!

ITS OFFICIAL HAPPY VERSION 4.0!

[HebaruSan]

FYI, the CKAN bot is having trouble adding the latest release because of the dot character after "Releases" in this filename:

Tundra-ExplorationV4.0\!DEPENDENCIES (Download these!)\Releases · Angel-125-KerbalActuators.url

Users with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean operating systems had previously reported this problem in https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/issues/3342, but up to that point English locales and the bot were unaffected. Then some mods with file names containing Chinese or Greek characters started to raise the same error. We updated the version of the ZIP lib we use, and now the bot has the same errors with this mod previously reported by CJK users.

@DasSkelett has plans for a fix, but while we work on that, there will be a delay with getting the 4.0 of this mod onto CKAN.

By all means, v4.0 should work fine in 1.8.1.

[IsaQuest]

Can’t wait to try 4.0! Looks great judging by the patch notes.

I know this does not relate to quote but in a different forum, someone was using your TUFX preset and I was wondering if I could get a download for it by any chance?

Hi, ive tried to install this mod several times over the years but i never seem to get it right. I have all the dependencies installed but the falcon, starship, dragon, etc parts wont appear.  Help me obi wan kerbnobi you are my only hope

Thanks!

@ChinoBasico inside the Tundra-ExplorationV4.0 folder is a Gamedata folder with 2 Tundra folders inside it.  You need those 2 Tundra folders in your KSP Gamedata folder.

Do You have Plans To Add A Starship Surface Cargo Version?

You mean the Lunar variant? Damon has said this so many times, but until it's proven to be an actual concrete design that'll fly, it's not going into Tundra.

No, he (or she) probably doesn't. So many others and I all want a stainless steel, full scale surface cargo variant, which doesn't require a whole lot of clipping.  

 

 

EDIT: Wow, I haven't posted here in a while, gosh!

Random thought I just had but not at my computer to be able to test it right now. 
 

With all the talk the last few days from the fairing catch ships being retired in favor of fishing the fairings out of the water it has me wondering, has anyone tried putting any sort of control probe and a radial mount chute inside of a set of Tundra fairings and using FMRS to deploy the chutes and be able to recover the fairings in KSP or is it even possible to do that?

You could do that and use Procedural Fairings to attach control probes and parachutes to the fairings.

Although you would have to reconstruct the faring using the fairings and fairing bases in that mod.

I'm Talking About A Horizontal Cargo Doors Starship. It Will Deliver Rovers,Cargo,Etc To The Planets/Moons Surfaces.

I like that idea irl - great for getting cargo onto the surface easily!

[SpaceFace545]

So my raptor engines aren't producing any thrust, the plumes are generated but no thrust. the engines say no fuel flow but again zero thrust.

Yeah... cargo starship is kind of useless when delivering cargo to other bodys.

You're better off using really anything else.

When I constructed my mun base, I off loaded the modules in a really weird way by deorbiting as normal, decoupling while over the surface, and landing the module and starship separately. The module needs it's own propulsion stage, Which adds more weight and dry mass to begin with, which means I need to sacrifice more fuel. 
Plus you can't do that on a planet with an atmosphere, or tylo.

It's kind of a pain in the ass when delivering fuel.

The cargo space is not generous to begin with, and It needs an propulsion stage (like I mentioned before)

Even when assembling modules in orbit, there's hardly any space for an "Canadarm" of any kind, and even if you do, It'll end up clipping in the tanks. 

Although all these problems or flaws are mostly starship's.

The way I do things is by launching payloads into orbits around bodies, launch a landing stage which docks with the payload and lands it on any given body. To be honest though I do find the Starship payload bay size very constricting. I'd recommend making the nosecone longer and the tank shorter. Starship does have more fuel than necessary even when fully loaded with 100+ tons of payload.
