The ones i have showing up on AVC right now are: Lithobrake Exploration Technologies (current 0.2.1, up-to-date 0.3.0) Modular Rocket Systems (current 0.9, up-to-date 0.11) Spacey Expanded (current 0.8, up-to-date 1.0) Spacey Lifters (current 1.4, up-to-date 1.6.1)

I have KSP AVC installed, and it's telling me that several of my mods need updated (and checking their respective forum topics shows they do). Any idea why CKAN hasn't been picking up on them?

So, is the only real way to attach heavy things in space multiple kerbals? I wanted to upgrade my space station to use 3.75m crew tubes and docking clamps, but I have a feeling it's going to be impossible to keep 8 kerbals in position because of the stupid ladder sliding bug. If it's not... could I present the idea of removing the weight requirement for parts attached to a winch, or an electromagnet mounted on a robotic arm?

I need to preface this post with the fact that amazingly drunk right now. YMMV. Having issues with the normal link in CTT's main thead, but w/e. Here's an imgur link to a picture of the tech tree: http://i.imgur.com/87SeFtQ.png Here's a picture of the entire CTT, with the zones I was mentioning circled in red: http://imgur.com/r2LmnP3 from top to bottom: the structural tree, the exploration tree, and the colonization tree In retrospect, the colonization tree's top branch focuses on orbital, so I guess you would want to put the ground structures in the bottom tree? So I spent like an hour typing out about half the full names in the tech tree, and then I found the config file with the actual shortened names you would need to implement CTT in Pathfinder.

I'm going to try to dig up a picture with all of the node names adjacent to their place in the tech tree. If I don't find one, I'll damned well make one myself. Be back in a bit.

I have a feeling the colonization nodes at the bottom would work well for the ground-based modules, and the structural tree leading to orbital megastructures for the orbital pieces. This would give people 2 wildly different choices on where to go in the tech tree. I currently have USI OKS/MKS to fill those nodes, but the entire mod is really redundant with pathfinder, and I honestly wish I could just un-install it. edit: I forgot you added the buffalo. That would probably fit well in the exploration branch.

Hmm. What counts as a surface scan to unlock core samples? I've got a TERRAIN probe in orbit and ran the geosurvey. Also ran a low-res ScanSat scan using the radar scanner.

Tried searching and I couldn't find this, so w/e. I noticed the 0.625m SRBs, when scaled up to 1.25m using tweakscale, drastically outperform every stock 1.25m SRB in everything except fuel efficiency, where they are equal. Higher TWR, lower dry weight, more fuel, and more overall thrust by several hundred kN. Is this intended? If so, is there a config I can tweak to slightly reduce the performance gap?

Oooooooh I like it! Good luck on making it work! Also, I never imagined pathfinder in orbit. Life is going to be soooooooooo good. Thank you so much for making this mod!

So someone in the KSPI-E thread told me to force DX11 with the following line: "G:\Games2\Kerbal Space Program\KSP.exe" -force-d3d11 This change, on its own, fixed all of my major issues, all of my minor issues, and everything in between. Didn't have to remove any mods (actually added a few more lol). Haven't had a single crash, bug, freeze, or anything in the past hour. I really wish I had known about it sooner.

Uh. Wow. That alone fixed everything. No more crashes, no more freezes, no gui bugs, nothing. This setting on its own needs to have a gigantic flashing label in every major mod that says "RAM SHOULD NOT BE YOUR ENEMY. FORCE OpenGL or DX11 BY DOING THIS:"

After removing the entire near future pack, EL, and the USI mods, I was still running into exactly the same issue: crashes or freezes on scene changes. Again, almost all of my problems completely disappear when I remove Toolbar and KSI-E. If it's not RAM, what could it be?

Hmm. So are the biggest suspects the ones with the most parts? Can I fix this by just un-installing a few mods?

edit: I re-read that summary. I'll upload the right one shortly. here's my output_log file from my KSP Data folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xrysk224tvwi5vk/output_log.txt?dl=0 this is after I froze trying to enter the VAB

I'm running community tech tree and most of the mods to fill it. I think I have narrowed down the thing that causes me to crash or freeze: either KSP Interstellar Extended, or Toolbar, which it relies on. I would say upwards of 30% of the time I do a scene change (entering or exiting any facility, launching or recovering a vehicle, etc) I crash out completely. Maybe 50% of the times I try to enter the VAB, I freeze. When I uninstall the KSPI-E and Toolbar (via CKAN), most of those crashes and freezes go away. I guess for reference, here's my mod list from my CKAN window: Community Resource Pack Community Tech Tree DMagic Orbital Science Dr. Jet's Chop Shop Extraplanetary Launchpads Firespitter Core Infernal Robotics, IF Model Rework Core, IF Model Rework Expansion Interstellar Fuel Switch and IFS Core KAS KIS Kerbal Joint Reinforcement Kopernicus Planetary System Modifier kOS KSP AVC KSPI-E Lithobrake Exploration Technologies Mechjeb 2 Modular Rocket Systems - Parts Pack Module Manager 1.8 Near Future Construction, Electrical, Electrical Core, IVA Props, Propulsion, Solar, Spacecraft Parts, Decaying RTGs, and Hydrogen NTR OSE Workshop Outer Planets Mod Pathfinder RemoteTech SCANsat Science Revisited SETI-CommunityTechTree SpaceY Extended, Heavy Lifters Parts Pack Stockalike Station Parts Expansion Toolbar TweakScale Universal Storage USI MKS/OKS, Life Support, Tools WildBlueTools And here's my the relevant log files for the most recent crash when I tried to enter the VAB: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2vxldgd4yfikfd/KSP.log?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/11wddl6c8c0lrlm/error.log?dl=0 edit: I also have this posted over in the Toolbar thread to see what they think. Please let me know if it's something silly, like a mod conflict that I don't know about

So, the following are from me crashing upon attempting to enter the VAB: https://www.dropbox.com/s/11wddl6c8c0lrlm/error.log?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2vxldgd4yfikfd/KSP.log?dl=0 which is actually kind of a first. I usually just freeze trying to enter the VAB, the crashes happen everywhere else. edit: Running Windows 10 Pro, i7-4790k (no oc), 8GB RAM, KSP install is on a 128GB SSD edit2: And I seriously appreciate yall's help. I love this game, I just really wish I could run KSPI-E :/ edit3: Also, i'll be copying this over to the KSPI-E thread to see if anyone there has any idea what's going on

I've never actually submitted a log file before, nor do I have any clue how to look through them. Do I need to upload it somewhere?

Strange question, for dealing with the "landed ship connected by pipes to a ground attached part equals kraken attack" problem. I had the idea of a "landing pad" part, that ground attaches, and when you land a ship on it, you can then attach the ship to it (kind of the reverse of building a ship using Extra Planetary Launchpads). Maybe have built-in pipe ports like a Saddle, for refueling? Or hell, even a part that simply connects to a Saddle? (unless that's why the Sky Docks mentioned in the previous post are. In which case, nevermind )

I started exploring mods for KSP about a month ago. Honestly, this particular mod could be the only mod I had and I would be perfectly happy. But I digress. I'm using SpaceY Extended (7.5m rockets) and a variety of others, including UniversalStorage (with its outrageously tiny hub parts and dozens of radial connections). Both were almost completely unusable on stock, but now they both perform like champions. No noticeable flexing at all, even on my 360.0 TWR test booster (7.5m, 8 connections), or on the 60-part U.S. science hub in the middle of the craft. Bravo.

Aaaaaand time for yet another post over here. I just quickloaded a game where I had a base made of pathfinder modules connected to a landed ship by a ccr2 connector linked to a saddle, which the ponderosa was sitting on (and everything else connected to it). I believe one of the landing legs for the ship loaded partially in the ground, causing the ship and the entire base to go flying into the air, breaking lots of things with lots of explosions. The whole episode occurs almost the same every time I quickload. Should I not connect landed ships to bases that are mounted to the ground? edit: so i browsed through the debug for ....s and giggles. When it first loads, I see the following line: [Ike Duna Lander]: Ground Contact! - error: -0.863m could this be causing problems?

Oh yeah, one more little thing. I noticed there wasn't a way to store XenonGas other than jury rigging the stock xenon tanks with CCR2s. I discovered that copying one of the existing storage templates and changing all the resource names to XenonGas worked just fine

How do you repair the hot springs? When I click perform repairs, it says "insufficient resources: you need 500 RocketParts". There's 1000 rocket parts in the hot springs. What do? Which brings up a second question. How do you transfer resources into the outback? I can alt right click on it and a building to bring up the resource transfer dialog, but clicking "in" does nothing. edit: I'd also like to note that the "perform repairs" button is only available from EVA edit2: Apparently I just can't surface attach the outback to pathfinder buildings. Oops!

got another little bug fix for you. In the BrewWorks config, the crack xenon module outputs "Xenon" as the resource, but it should be "XenonGas".

I think I found that in the Fireworks config, called ExSurveyStation. Mine looks like this: MODULE { name = ExSurveyStation } If that's not it, I haven't found an "ExWorkshop" module. I apologize for not being able to help more, I'm not much of a programmer

I'm having some trouble with the Fireworks configuration for the Hacienda. When I click build, the production rate is effectively zero. I was having the same problems with Extraplanetary Launchpads' own survey workshop, which I managed to fix by changing the ProductivityFactor setting in the configs from its original 0.4 to 5.0 (to match the giant blue EL workshop's productivity factor). I couldn't find where to change this in Pathfinder's configs. Any ideas?
