Missing Robotics

[Aahz88]

Adds a number of robotic parts that are "missing" from the breaking ground DLC.
Includes:

• Gantries of various sizes.
  • Good for elevators, cranes
  • Looks very stock
• Hinges
  • fold flat and out to an oblique angle. 
  • good for rover ramps
  • Looks very stock
• Rover arm parts.
  • good for rover arms.
  • very light but weak and slow moving
  • Not so stock looking.
  • Inspired by the curiosity rover.
• Pivot joint
  • Combines with a second, perpendicular pivot to form a 2 directional pivot point... (I don't know how to describe this.
  • Looks very stock

If anyone has any specific robotic parts that they want make a request in the forum here. 

[hemeac]

These look great

[RealKerbal3x]

Don't mind me, just testing gantry cranes...

Fantastic work @Aahz88! I can see this becoming a must-have mod - gantry cranes are great for base-building!

Any chance to get this in CKAN?  I'd be happy to add it for you, if you ask.

[Aahz88]

@linuxgurugamer Yes please! That would be very helpful.

[JoeSheridan]

Nice mod   Now it is likely that i will use robotics more often Good job

[Daniel Prates]

Ah I see this is in CKAN already. Great!

Thanks for this LGG! Disregard my pre-edit, didn't realize my CKAN was out of date.  

 

Great looking mod, Aahz88!

I am making support for the Community Parts Titles, does numbers 05Z, 115Z, 23Z, 23Z, 40Z, 77C mean something ?

The numbers are the distance the gantry can move but without the decimal.

0.5m, 1.15m, 2.3m, 2.3m, 4.0m, 7.7m

Z and C don't mean anything.

DC_Pivot_01 - "77C Pivot" - is a pivot, so I am not sure that the 7.7m means there

DC_GANTRY_01_2X and DC_GANTRY_01 both are "23Z Rolling Gantry" , but the DC_GANTRY_01 probably has the distance 1.0m.

Could you also add the distance with the decimal in the description of the gantries ?

UPD.
It is there
if you make localization support, please let me now.

Cool! Thanks. I guess I don't know the names of my own parts. 

[flart]

Hey, also I get noticed that the mass of the smallest rolling gantry (0.45t) is ten times larger, than similar size stock small hydraulic cylinder (0.052t).
Is it not suppose to be that way?

[SJ Heo]

naturally I "merged" ksp breaking ground's part folder and missing robotics parts folder, and the it won't show up

[wasml]

@SJ Heo Try putting it directly under GameData

Path should be: GameData\Missing_robotics.

[LittleBitMore]

I love this mod! Definitely essential for me now. I have only one recommendation, and that is smaller and/or shorter versions of pistons. However, nothing can deny how useful this mod is for Breaking Ground users!

[Ben J. Kerman]

Sorry if I am off topic here and not helping anything, but I just wanted to say to Aahz88 that I think it is cool that you used Kif from Futurama as your profile picture. Only some people will understand it, but it is funny for the people who do! 

Also, I'll look into that mod, but I don't want to slow down my computer too much (Luckily it is pretty fast. The computer I was using before took at least 12 minutes JUST TO LOAD KSP!), and I have already successfully made mobile gantry cranes, all terrain mobile cranes, and even a compact mobile crane with Tweakscale, KAS, and Breaking Ground. Search for "Mobile Crane" on the Steam Workshop. Look for a "Kiebherr KTM 1120" and "KerbalKran 600".  Also, on the second page of crafts if you select the "rover" and "robotics" filters, you will see my forklift-a KerbaLift KFL300E. Again, sorry for being off-topic and stuff...

 

Edited February 22, 2021 by Ben J. Kerman
Forgot that KAS winches allow me to build good cranes

[Starhelperdude]

there are some symmetry issues with the flat hinges, for example if you use mirror mode and place 2 of them, 1 ist normal but the other one is kinda flipped over, I have only encountered the problem with the flat hinges, not the other ones

 

[Ben J. Kerman]

Does this mod contain rotation servos similar to those of breaking ground, but bigger and less floppy? If not, then that is a suggestion. Specifically, rotation servos that are a little wider (About a meter wide, then one that is 1.5 meters, then maybe 2 and 3 meter versions so they can be used for a variety of applications.) and not as tall as the DLC ones (I want it to look like this; I don't need the gear teeth, but it would be a nice feature:  

[SpudNutimus]

Sorry to revive an old thread, but is this mod compatible with 1.12?

[SpudNutimus]

Heads up, I cobbled together a quick ModuleManager config that allows the parts in this mod to work with KSP 1.11+'s EVA construction system. You can find it on GitHub HERE or inside the following spoiler. Requires Missing Robotics and ModuleManager, obviously.

Doesn't 1.10+ simply not allow parts to be packed if they are missing "Module Cargo Part".
Sure, not being able to assemble is bad, but not the end of the world. 

As a note, can you get this listed on CKAN?

Parts which are missing "Module Cargo Part" can't be packed or manipulated in EVA construction mode. This is indeed not the end of the world, but it bugged me slightly so I cobbled together a config to fix it. As for CKAN, yeah you're right that might be useful, I'll think about that.

[LittleBitMore]

A must-install for all my KSP installs! one of my favorite mods of all time!

 

EDIT: it seems i posted like the exact same sentiment two years ago and then forgot about it. just goes to show how much i love this mod i guess!
