Automatic one - that is reactor always run at 100% of energy production of given throttle causing to produce waste heat. So if I set QSR to produce energy at 20% or 100% of total output, it will produce as much energy as it can (20% or 100% of total capacity) disregarding power needs.

QSR never throlles down now.

Why solar wind collector only collects around 3x more solar wind when comparing 2.5m and 10m size, that is 50 m^2 and 800 m^2 ? Largest one should collect 16x more solar wind than smallest one. Also solar wind collectors should scale up at least to 100m I got 1g of deutrium and 0.7 g of helium 3 from 100 kg of solar wind. This means 10 ppm of Deuterum and 7 ppm of Helium 3 in solar wind.

I did some tests if energy conservation is thing for antimatter production: It is. So you need to disable antimatter reactors if you want to produce antimatter. With antimatter producer you can take tiniest antimatter containers and make antimatter on demand. I wonder if I could use solar energy to produce antimatter and solar wind to produce fusion pellets for Antimatter Initiated Reactor. Solar energy would be used as antimatter production maintenance energy. Energy for export would be from solar wind. Can we have rescaleable unmanned antimatter producer? It seems like even when i'm almost touching sun (had to disable temperature limits) I can't gather enough solar wind to process it into deuterium and tritium for AIM reactor to produce antimatter (5 GW of power) Solar collector is too tiny even for biggest size. Even then solar wind collector says 0 ions per m^3 - looks like that counter is broken.

Well there is difference in areodynamics between long narrow triangle wings and wide rectangle ones even if they have same area

@ferram4 Sorry for quoting myself like that, but you didn't explained few things in FAR flight data. Also there is big with air requirement display. How do I build plane, that can fly comfortably at 50m/s or even slower?

It seems like some tanks menu is broken. Also I like new probe core. IHAL doesn't need energy to operate it seems.

Wonder when @FreeThinker will add message reminding, that mod is in NF compability mode, when Near Future mod is installed.

What is shortest wavelength that you can relay?

It seems like latest version comes with outdated IFS plugin. Also changelogs for 1.15.0.8 is 1.15.0.7 are excatly same. I see SI prefixes and far infrared wavelength was added. Also Airborne Diode Laser Transmitter should have laser diode in it, otherwise being surface attachable doesn't make sense. Antimatter collector still is not added to ISRU category

"press" LOL well increase thrust by getting more power, change to atmospheric mode, or some high thrust fuel.

All KSPI engines must overcome static pressure if they aren't using atmospheric mode. I guess warning could be added, that says engine has too low static pressure to overcome ambient pressure.

Turned power priority to 1 and now it work flawlesly I think I would be able to reach orbit on RSS with this craft Just attach ARCJET/VASMIR somewhere for high ISP thrust I like how fusion reactors can "faint" from overheating, if only source of power is coming from them trough thermal generator. That is thermal generator efficiency falls low enough, so it can't generate enough energy for fusion maintaince.

It seems like fusion engine has trouble with supplying electricity for itself when running thermal engine at full trothle.

It seems like there is bug in "air req met" display. What does Cy, spec. excess pwr or v*l/d actually measure?

It seems like its same changelog as this one:

Used biggest hard far xray transmitter and receiver and disabled areodynamics, thermodynamics and gravity in my tests. You can't get much more than 100 bilion kilometers. Simliliarly sized X band microwave 40m transmitter and 400m receiver would start giving up after 50 - 100 km.

Well it can only send soft xrays. Also airborne laser turret requires beam generator which defeats its purpose and can use only one wavelength. Wavelengths should use SI prefixes due to their range. That would be mm for microwaves, um for infrared, nm for visible and uv, and pm for xray. Ratio of wavelength betweeen X-band Microwave and Far Hard Xray is 1920 milions. This means if you would hit your spotsize limits for X-band microwave at 500 km, then you would hit them at 960 billion kilometers for Fard Hard xray. It would be nice if microwave receivers listed their efficiency for selected wavelength. Why wavelengths aren't switchable in phased array transceiver (top)? Would be efficient if I had 4 receivers each best operating in following wavelengths: Far Hard Xray, Far Extreme UV, Long Infrared and X band Microwave on mothership?

Then just make another part and add laser turrent on it like xray transmitter. That part would be named Universal Microwave - X Ray Beam Producer

Why antimater scoop isn't in ISRU section?

What propulsion is most fuel/propellant efficient? EM drive can use only 8% of electricity and rest goes to waste.

Shouldn't be here minimum spot size for all wavelengths? I calculated somewhere before, that if one MW of wasteheat is produced from surface, then at 3700 K (if receivers would be made from same material as graphene radiators) you would need 0.1 m^2 of surface area - that would be 0.18m spotsize at minimum limit. That would be minimum spotsize if one MW of energy was wasted - any lower would burn holes in receiver. Also any wavelength would thrust back energy beam produced - it shouldn't be difference if its one GW in microwaves or xrays.

I did some more tests. It has really big range! Can universal beam producer produce xrays too? Also wavelengths should get prefixes. Well I screenshotted it, I guess its just display bug, as it works normally in game (xray producer part). Longest wavelength is 25 mm and shortest is 10 pm That is 9 orders of magnitude! So if aperture and spotsize is constant, and max range (without suffering spotsize losses) for longest microwave is lets say 1000 km, then xray can travel for 1000 000 milion km without spreading out too much. Microwave generation has 90% energy efficiency and xray has 20% of energy conversion efficiency at ends of range I guess then microwave is useful for launches, infrared for low orbit, visible/uv for whole moon system and xray for whole solar system.

This bigass powerplant produces XASER (laser but with xrays) I guess I need bigger gun to produce 7 TW worth beam 40m xray gun can use 2 TW of power. It seems like buffer is broken Short hard xray beam has really awesome range. While only 20% of total energy gets converted, it can be used to power small probes and to conserve reactor fuel on missions. How spotsize is calculated?

Do you have KJR? Weird my hard drive was going crazy when I upscaled part above 256m... how much RAM and graphics (video card) RAM you have? I have 8 GB of ram and one GB of graphic memory.
