Download Here: https://github.com/UmbraSpaceIndustries/FTT/releases Introducing Freight Transportation Technologies! A series of modular parts for all of your hauling, mining, and exploration needs! Phase 1 introduces the 'Honeybadger' freighter - a 3.75m form factor craft ideal for mining operations or light hauling/tug duties. Usual deal, this is a pre-release, so there are still some minor texturing adjustments being made, as well as proper tech tree integration. And a video for those that have not yet seen it!

nli2work is making a set of karbonite bits to go with it And I have some plans for this in an upcoming mod.

Make a new craft, things got broke a bit. Probe is being moved to the more advanced mining pack

This It's what lets them snap into place. You are 'storing' them in the other part

Karbonum = much better engine fuel, possibly other uses (talking to another modder at the moment). And so far, Eve SSTO has been a bear - it will likely be Karbonium engines that do it. Things that cause this: Bad version of ORS (most common), sometimes also TextureReplacer and ATM. What KSP version? Do you use KSPI? Do you use SCANSat? Do you use ATM or TR? That'sa good one.... it's bundled with CRP, so if you just need the resource, probably the easiest thing to do is to just take the CRP config (It works just fine without all of the ORS maps and is kinda the intent - i.e. one config file in a folder like Firespitter), just because there is no DLL to use That being said, if you need to use the intake code that comes with a DLL, you could grab either Karbonite (which includes some ORS extensions), or KSPI - but it would have to be an experimental version.

IVA eventually - I suck at them. Oh... here's a video. I still suck at VTOLs too.

Quick testing stuff! Can we have the overlay off by default? Also - for whatever reason I got like... repeated overlays on Duna. It may be because I was using hyperedit? I basically had... very red, and a bit more red as my two choices

Oh no worries - my tone may have been misinterpereted. it was less 'You must be crazy to want X' and more 'I'm really curious why you want X, because when I ask a lot of questions I figure out what users are really looking for, and what the actual problem space is'

Ok good deal - thanks!

Yes, just finishing two parts, and yes it already does use NFT-compatible nuclear reactors. They are needed to power the VTOL prop engines.

Fair enough, but if you already have SCANSat for item 2... why would you use this? For 3... it should IMO be tied to a partmodule at least. For item 1 I can go either way, as ORS != Kethane... and let's be honest, most of us who do use SCANSat just go into a polar orbit and warp forward for about ten seconds to get the whole map anyway

heh, well given the guy already helps out with MKS and literally just started this, I doubt it will be abandoned Personally, I think it's worlds better than the default ORS orange globes. And would rather see something get out there that's an incremental improvement than than nothing at all. Can always iterate, etc. but IMO I would not want that hard dependency on SCANSat - an ORS replacement for the hotspot map is still worlds ahead of where that mod is now, and grants an instant benefit. And if it's only dependency is ORS, I'll bundle it with Karbonite in a heartbeat.

Yeah... that seems more like a SCANSat thing, and one hell of a dependency. and tbh, I'd rather see resources superimposed over the actual high-res globe

May have been a breaking change - can you try a new save and see if it persists?

So someone educate me... what would be the value of having SCANSat over this, since it is pretty much the same data anyway?

heh, I concur on a lot if it's bits FYI (And think I mentioned it before), I'll just keep taking a dependency on yours since at this point I can do all of my mods via extension of ORS. But if you ever decide to split these apart and want to focus on KSPI, the offer to handle the fork stands - otherwise, keep on keeping on

Very nice, I'll do some playing with this.

Yep, this is looking pretty sweet

You need a habring for composter and kerbitat, ag module for purifier and greenhouse

@Geschosskopf Read all of the posts, totally get the POV To put it another way... Core Karbonite stays core Karbonite (that's the intent). But it's also by nature super extensible, so the discussion is basically around what the next mod would look like. To put the pieces together, I'm adding a second resource with FTT since it's a mining/hauling type mod, and when coupled with the exploration mod Packrat is part of (not to be confused with the absolutely adorable parts nli2work has on the table), covers the two extremes - very large parts, and very small ones. And in those two areas, there's some space for some interesting and new mechanics. So kinda like how MKS takes advantage of Karbonite, but Karbonite does not force you to build MKS bases, FTT (and the follow up mod) are similar. Take the base piece and let's extend it in some interesting ways that may be better suited to alternate playstyles. Hope that alleviates concerns and makes sense in context - - - Updated - - - Should be a pretty easy config change to make this happen

@nli2work - what about our surface-only detector? That's the missing piece it looks like we need, esp. since I want to go with a resource only detectable on the surface.

I concur.. I think I wull use both of them I *think* if we use linear vs logorithmic then we can get true zero. But it is not as pretty visually. But if we're saying Karbonium (the working resource I have in FTT) is super rare anyway and not scannable, then we're golden That's actually not a bad general tweak for ORS anyway - some kind of configurable threshold value. Yep, there was/still is. I need to see how dynamic maps in ORS play out and how they are loaded in.

!!!!! I love these!

Just saw them! Very nifty. Not quite the aesthetic I'm aiming for, but very pretty none the less.

Not that I am aware of - someone did a MFT piece that's included but not procedural
