KSP Interstellar Extended Support Thread

Recommended Posts

I've installed Kopernicus versions:

1.2.2-3 no change

1.2.2-2 saved game don't load

1.2.2-1 saved game loads, RSS and Constelations don't load.In oryginal Kerbol system everything works perfectly fine , no overheats, no bizarre power demands out of blue....

..then i uninstalled your mod and installed only RSS and Constelations , no overheats. These are my observations so far.

At this stage what additional information do You need to troubleshoot problem (if You even bother :wink:  )??

Update

After uninstalling Your mod with (RSS and Constellations in place) , then installing it again, overheats disappeared, but bizarre power demand is still in place:

So far seems that installing Your mod.... as last, solves overheating issue , but still question is  what the hell is that growing power demand out of nowhere ?

Another example ....stock parts only , ship is on the dark side of Earth, panel retracted :

then on the sunny side, when power is produced, everything is as supposed to be :

Hi. But how on earth be such high growing demand (shown by megajoules power mangament display)when the ship is simple as fu...k :wink: ? But anyway this should be no problem as batteries drain with normal rate..just looks scary -Kilo/Meg watts  :D

According to the screenshot, you are only 773 km from the star...

Seems to me you a simply too near a star.  Either use a solar shield or Solar collector to counter this and add more radiator that can pitot away from the star.

Installation instruction (with CKAN), if encounter overheat problem using RSS & Constelations :

1)Uninstall KSP Interstellar Extended (CKAN will list RSS & Constelations as dependand mods) proceed

Interesting, where is this information on the screenshot  ?

Hey can anyone tell me how to use the laser ablative nozzle with beamed power? is it supposed to be able to be used as a surface to orbit ability and what frequency of beamed power should I use and how much does it need. I am playing with Near future mods installed.

HELP!

 
 
 

It actually one of the most powerful launch technologies available. All that is needed is an active transmitter in infrared wavelength (at least > 6 MW in NF), near the launch platform, an ablative nozzle connected to a container with PVS in launch clams , and launch. Notice the PVC is very dense, a single tank is enough to get to get into orbit. The big advantage is that in contrast the thermal receiver, it can receive beamed power directly from the back

ok, @FreeThinker, how should I start up the launch nozzle then, there is an option to activate the receiver on it and also the option to activate the engine? What transmitter should I use for it?

I apologize in advance if I just didn't look hard enough, but, is there currently a way to extract radioactives from planets now that the asymmetric refinery is gone? I'm not sure how to mine uranium or thorium, now. I understand from your earlier reply that uranium isru is still being worked on so I don't mean to sound impatient, just wondering what I missed. Thanks!

I also apologize if I missed something early, but:

Where it is supposed to have HeavyWater storage? I'm currently looking at ISRU Electrolyzer option "Heavy Water Electrolysis" and it should convert HeavyWater to Deuterium and Oxygen, as per source file. But it seems mod missing any storage for HeavyWater currently (according to "grep -Ri heavywater" output in mod folder), so it is not possible to activate this process without modding the mod. I have no idea where it is better to put such resourse, but maybe at least the part itself is good (so you can just put atmospheric scoop to craft and get heavy water into electrolyzer directly).

 

P.S. It seems you can store it in ISRU Processor, which is needed to receive HeavyWater from sea water or regolite, as well as many other components needed for Electrolyzer processes, but you also can get HeavyWater with scoop, so it will be useful to store it somewhere.

no idea if the problem has been solved, but I've currently got a craft with a tokamak reactor that is simply not working - it doesn't output any thermal power, at all. does anybody have any idea what might be causing this?

Can you provide at least a screen of this ship?

I downloaded the newest version from Spacedock and there isn`t only Interstellar in this download. There is a bunch of other mods in this download like KJR, Tweak Scale, Persistent Rotation etc.

Some are required, like TweakScale or Interstellar Fuel Switch or CTT, the others are optional but recommended.

The true is "L"?   Here is"1";

(I am not good at english) @ms6107,

KSPI_Extended 1.12.7

Please look at other l's in this file, it's not 1. It's strange font used in your text editor, and l and 1 looks pretty similar in it. Github source https://github.com/sswelm/KSP-Interstellar-Extended/blob/master/GameData/WarpPlugin/Parts/Microwave/PivotedLightMirror/PivotedLightMirror.cfg

OK, I knew it;

but does it works in your PC?

when the letter is "l",the part's nativeWaveLength is 0.003189281

and i change it to "L",nativeWaveLength is 0.0000007.

Hi again. Another question about resources and resource processing. IntakeLqd is a resource processed by ISRU Processor in "Seawater Extraction" process. However, there is no part to produce IntakeLqd. Is there any plans on adding something, or some other mod adding liquid intake so I can process Seawater?

Got you. Yep, it is my fault, didn't used light mirror and didn't know config files are case sensitive. I will fix it later today. And hope @FreeThinker will include my fix in next release.

BTW, Thanks. Will do more testing before commit next time.
