Kerbalism Greenhouses - Convert to rate based instead of harvest based.

I came up with a workaround (config) that should allow the default greenhouse that comes with kerbalism to use a rate based food per second output instead of having to go to the ship and harvest the food when the harvest is ready every 200 days. This sets the harvest time to >1000 years and adds a resource output of food (along with oxygen) that should match the old output. There are also configs that modify and add the greenhouse functionality to the Stockalike Station Parts Redux greenhouse parts. Create a folder like zMyMods and create a *.cfg file and copy the sections you want to it.

ok, let me get this straight:

1) I only have kerbalism greenhouses, so i only need 

@PART[kerbalism-greenhouse]:NEEDS[ProfileDefault]:AFTER[KerbalismDefault]  // Default Kerbalism greenhouse
{
  @MODULE[Greenhouse]
  {
    @crop_rate = 0.00000000005
	
	OUTPUT_RESOURCE
	{
		name = Food
		rate = 0.000003190104
	}
  }
}

this part, right?

2) I can do that to my exhisting profile, and it will start working for missions already in progress?

3) where exactly do I need to copy the stuff? do i make a new config file, or do I copy into an exhisting config file?

 

if so, you've done me a huge service

That should work. I put it in an existing game and it changed to the rate based version with no issues. If you have a harvest pending you may need to complete the harvest to get the rate part working. Also you may need to change the section ":AFTER[KerbalismDefault]" to ":FINAL" depending on what order your patch runs. This should run after kerbalism. I would suggest putting personal patches in a folder called "zz..." so it loads after all of the other patches. I think module manager loads by folder name if everything else is the same.

for the stock greenhouse, you made a calculation mistake. food per second should be

0.0000063796

 

i applied the patch to my game, where I had this self-sufficient ship, and it was losing food. i remade the calculations, and I got the new value, which is almost twice the one you posted.

Can't say if there are similar mistakes with the other greenhouses, as i don't have those mods

EDIT: but aside from that, it works perfectly.

THANK YOU

Do you have an idea what it means to run a 300-years mission and having to stop every 200 days to harvest food? i wish i had that earlier.

(in retrospect, it's simple enough that i could have done it myself. but i never thought of just ignoring the normal crop cycle)
