Updated to latest plug-in. Should now be compatible with 1.1.2

Try installing latest version of FAR.

It will cause errors. I will update in 2 days. Click on the spacedock.info link then find the 'Changelog' link. All previous versions are downloadable from there.

I will update in about 2 days.

In the latest version (1.1.2), which should be downloaded automatically from Steam, you should have two exe files: KSP and KSP_64. The KSP.exe launches 32bit, the KSP_64.exe launches 64 bit. Your OS needs to be 64 bit to be able to play KSP_64 properly.

I'll look into that in the future. For now, the multi-mode engines have two modes at most, and I hope to limit dependencies to a maximum. I have unique names for all parts, don't worry.

Thanks. This replaces SimpleNuclear and integrates SimpleConstruction, but they will be available separately.

Hi. Year2200 is an all-encompassing mod that allows you to build a nuclear future. It handles power generation, propulsion and new resources to manage. The objective is a simple, integrated mod that balances gameplay options with realistic accuracy and minimal set-up. Teaser Album: Features: Five nuclear reactors producing two types of output. Four multi-mode engines. New ISRU units and reworked resource converters. Three nuclear resources and two fuels resources. Resource switching for all Ore and Fuel tanks. Integrated Rocket-Building. Requires: Module Manager Tweakscale Recommended: Real Solar System Thermal Monitor Downloads SpaceDock. Dropbox. Completed: Engine parameters. Reactor resources and initial balancing. Resource switching and converters. Resource extraction and scanning. Tech tree and costs In development: Stock power level .cfg file. Planned: Stock power level .cfg file. Test for compatibility with other mods. Create tutorial. Changelog: v6: Part placement on tech tree. Increased engine thrust and power consumption. v5: Test release. v4: Finished up resource side: ISURU/MiniISRU now replaced by AdvancedIRSU, with separate LF/Ox/MP/LH converters. Second round of temperature behavior balancing. Increased reactor power density by about 2-3x. Disclaimers: This mod contains part models and textures from KSPI-Extended and Near Future Propulsion, so thanks to @FreeThinker and @Nertea for creating them This mod contains plugins from InterstellarFuelSwitch and ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads, so thanks to @FreeThinker and @taniwha for providing them.

SimpleNuclear will be abandoned. A replacement mod will be published soon.

Is there anything that can be written using MM in the mean time? I tried this: //Stock FuelSwitch (runs if IFS but no metastock resource support is present) @PART[*]:HAS[#category[FuelTank]] { MODULE { name = InterstellarFuelSwitch resourceGui = LFO;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;LqdHydrogen;Structural resourceNames = LiquidFuel,Oxidizer;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;LqdHydrogen;Structural resourceAmounts = #$/../LF$,$/../Oxi$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$*10;0 %tankMass = 0;0;0;0;0;0 %basePartMass = #$../mass$ volumeMultiplier = 1.0 massMultiplier = 1 displayCurrentTankCost = false hasGUI = true availableInFlight = true availableInEditor = true showInfo = true } } to no avail.

That was the 'IFS integration mod' I was referencing. In my game, the 'stock resources' .cfg file only affected tanks while held liquid fuel only (like the small MK-0 fuel tank), giving them the full range of resource options. Regular fuel tanks did not have switching capability. I then tried modifying the file, but I was unsuccessful in getting the desired effects.

Hi! How do I create a module manager patch that both lets all fuel tanks switch between all resources, and add a resource to all fuel tanks? I've made this unsuccessful attempt, based on the IFS Integration mod: //Stock FuelSwitch (runs if IFS but no metastock resource support is present) @PART[*]:HAS[#resource[LiquidFuel]]]:NEEDS[InterstellarFuelSwitch] { %MODULE[ModuleCrossFeed] { } %percentage = 0 %percentsquared = 0 @percentage = #$/RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$ @percentage /= 26880 @percentage != 0.3333333 @percentsquared = #$/percentage$ @percentsquared != 2 %LF = #$/RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$ %Oxi = #$/RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$ @LF *= .45 @Oxi *= .55 MODULE { name = InterstellarFuelSwitch resourceGui = LFO;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;LqdHydrogen;Structural resourceNames = LiquidFuel,Oxidizer;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;LqdHydrogen;Structural resourceAmounts = #$/../LF$,$/../Oxi$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;0 %tankMass = 0;0;0;0;0;0 %basePartMass = #$../mass$ volumeMultiplier = 1.0 massMultiplier = 1 displayCurrentTankCost = false hasGUI = true availableInFlight = true availableInEditor = true showInfo = true } }

Hi! How do I modify the IFS integration files so that every single fuel tank is switchable (not fuel tanks with liquid fuel only) and add a resource? I've made this unsuccessful attempt: //Stock FuelSwitch (runs if IFS but no metastock resource support is present) @PART[*]:HAS[#resource[LiquidFuel]]]:NEEDS[InterstellarFuelSwitch] { %MODULE[ModuleCrossFeed] { } %percentage = 0 %percentsquared = 0 @percentage = #$/RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$ @percentage /= 26880 @percentage != 0.3333333 @percentsquared = #$/percentage$ @percentsquared != 2 %LF = #$/RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$ %Oxi = #$/RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$ @LF *= .45 @Oxi *= .55 MODULE { name = InterstellarFuelSwitch resourceGui = LFO;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;LqdHydrogen;Structural resourceNames = LiquidFuel,Oxidizer;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;LqdHydrogen;Structural resourceAmounts = #$/../LF$,$/../Oxi$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;$/../RESOURCE[LiquidFuel]/maxAmount$;0 %tankMass = 0;0;0;0;0;0 %basePartMass = #$../mass$ volumeMultiplier = 1.0 massMultiplier = 1 displayCurrentTankCost = false hasGUI = true availableInFlight = true availableInEditor = true showInfo = true } } I am using KSP 1.1.0

Problems solved! Thank you!

I'll do some testing, thanks.

What's the payload to orbit? How scalable is the design?

I looked through the RAPIER engine .cfg and found this module: MODULE { name = MultiModeEngine primaryEngineID = AirBreathing secondaryEngineID = ClosedCycle } It's restricted to two modes. I don't think 'tertiaryEngineID' is a valid line.

I've tried looking through it, but I don't understand. How is this different from the engine mode switching from, say, the Rapier?

How is the air-augmented Merlin engine better than an aerospike?

I haven't installed that yet. Apparently has many bugs and required plugins for my mod (EPL, Module Manager) don't work anymore...

Not yet. I'll make a short test and put up version 1.8 for 1.1.1

Would you therefore suggest I create a version 1.8 marked as compatible with 1.1.1?

Hi! I've had reports of some trouble with CKAN compatibility of my mod (in signature). I uploaded the latest version to Spacedock.info, checked the little 'add to CKAN' box and marked it as compatible for 1.1 However, it is still listed as only compatibly with 1.0.5 in CKAN? Could this error be amended, please?
