I may be a little bit dense, but are there no 3.75m docking ports for modular assembly of oversized stations?

Unfortunately no. Maybe sometime, but not now.

Have I mentioned how beautiful I think these parts are? 

Nice! Looks like your adjustment of greenhouse lights worked!

Beautifully so, thanks again!

AtilaElari, as far as I know stock parts go up to 2.5m. Near Future Construction has Annular Truss type parts with larger docking ports though. My own preference is to use USI construction ports to seamlessly weld.

 

I like the USI construction ports as well. They look stock-ugly, but after welding they disappear, leaving a seamless transition between station parts.

i made one from the short crew tube and some radial attach points around. looks great since it matches the surrounding parts.

How does this mod play with kerbalism? I know it has a gravity ring with special properties, so do your rings fall into the same functions?

Try it and find out!  Nertea probably has no clue. As this is mostly a parts pack it should be fine. But the only way to know for certain is to try it yourself.

Why do you want this? :/ 

Well, in my case, I already had Ven's Revamp installed. Didn't really want to lose that style, so I made a cfg to keep them both. Could be used for keeping the stock ones too, if you wanted, though I have to admit Nertea's is way better.

For anyone who wants it, drop this in a .cfg file somewhere in your /GameData, requires ModuleManager to work:

+PART[crewCabin]:BEFORE[zzzzStationParts] {
  @name = oldCrewCabin
}
+PART[cupola]:BEFORE[zzzzStationParts] {
  @name = oldCupola
}
+PART[Large_Crewed_Lab]:BEFORE[zzzzStationParts] {
  @name = oldLarge_Crewed_Lab
}

SSPXr has no compatibility with Kerbalism. Anyone who prepares it will have to publish it separately.

@JadeOfMaar and @Nertea,

I am playing with the configs of the crew tubes (as I mentioned above), but so far I have utterly failed to make it work consistently the way I think it should. Ideally, I want the tubes to dock only with each other or the associated hub, and have a few other tweaked characteristics (dock aligned to each other, etc). 

*IF* I ever get this to work, I will send you the configs for your inspection, mockery, and possible approval. :)

So here's the thing. I'm using this mod along with kerbalism. Now, over on their forum they've created a .cfg file to enable the food and water resources for the storage containers. But I notice something very odd about the amounts these can store. The amounts of food and water stored seems to be way too little. With the largest inline container (the PXL-CRG-1 Logistics Module) I get enough food and water for 35 days for one kerbal. If I then add the comparatively tiny Supply Container from Kerbalism to that craft it jumps up to 106 days. Just looking at the size of this storage container it should last one kerbal at least a year. (I haven't actually done the maths, it's just a guess.)

Over on their forums they're reluctant to tweak the values since they originally come from here. Which is why I'm now asking you to tweak them to contain a lot more resources.

EDIT: Image for size comparison:

That's a problem with Kerbalism, not here then. Have them adjust the volume values to fit their resources.

I just noticed that SSPXr doesn't include the "Illuminator Mk3" surface-mounted light that was in the earlier SSPX.  I never really used that as a station part, but it's pretty useful on spaceplanes, e.g. next to a mk2 docking port to illuminate whatever you're trying to dock with.  Please consider bringing it back in a future update.  :-)

Can I ask for a specific part? For my base construction I'd like a low profile 4-way hub I tried to weld some parts together but I guess the meshes switch confused the welding mod, this is the result:

Ok after some funiculì funicolà :confused: I managed to fix the welded part enabling also variant switching , here is the cfg :

  • Added to Aquaculture Module
    • [TAC] Algae Farm with and without KPBS

    • [USI] BotanySkill requirement if USI LS and MKS are present
    • [TAC] operate in SETI mode by default but now can change to K&K mode if KPBS is present @BigJammy @Nils277

I just had the chance to try your pre-update, and maybe I'm doing something wrong but I couldn't find this changes. The two TACLS.cfg files from 1.0 e 1.1 look exactly the same. Could you have uploaded the wrong one?

Firstly: Thank you for your outstanding mod! Great work!

But I scanned my KSP.log after installing it and get some errors since. I also have TAC, DMagic Orbital Science and Universal Storage installed, but not KerbalHealth:

Is this a problem?

Hello

first of all. AWESOME MOD ! I was so happy when i first flew with one of those centrifugas. Now i spend much more time looing around my ships during missions.. which makes them much longer :D

Question: if i carry these parts separately into space, they need to have clampotron at the end, to be connected to other parts? Just asking how to connect these magnificent parts in space practically.
