[ KSP 1.7.x ] Active Cooling Continued
Esquire42 replied to captinjoehenry's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I'm glad you took this up again. I have been busy in with academic/work life (I'm a sysadmin) and have no idea when I'll be able to get back into KSP. So I'm glad this turned out well. -
It's on CKAN....for 1.1.2. Really shouldn't be expecting something from a mod that hasn't been updated since a year ago.

[1.3 of KSP] [1.9.4] Suthe Planet Overhaul Mod
Esquire42 replied to Tynton's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Just a piece of advice, I'd put the mod's version number after its name in parenthesis in the title of the thread; a massive lot of modders use brackets in front of the name to indicate game version.- 100 replies

[1.12.x] Kerbal Atomics: fancy nuclear engines! (August 18, 2024)

Same(ish?) models, new textures. But I agree Nertea did a great job with them! -

Possibly. Is there a thread for this? Nertea doesn't need to be spammed with unnecessary notifications. -
[1.12.x] Kerbal Atomics: fancy nuclear engines! (August 18, 2024)
Esquire42 replied to Nertea's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I play with MKS so a supply chain for orbital construction would be an extensive mining setup that includes regular ore, metallic ore, uranite, karborundium, etc, plus the infrastructure to haul those materials and construct craft in orbit (via EPL). (I highly suggesting checking out MKS and the rest of USI, it adds a great deal of depth to the game.) So thus I'd rather set up a Kerbal-less supply line first to create a self-sustaining base before sending Kerbals in. I'm not sure why you're confused by long-range relays. It's exactly what it says on the tin. Motherships are expensive things. It's much easier and efficient to send smaller ships to enable orbital construction and go from there. -

48 hours in real time? I mean, sure, this is KSP, if it's conceivable you can do it with enough boosters and gravity assists. Are Nert's nuclear engines designed for that/pragmatic to use it in this manner? Absolutely not. As far as the mod technology world goes, these have a nice balance between thrust and ISP - about in the 500s-1000s range if my memory serves me right. Since these run on LH2, there'd need to be a massive amount of fuel tanks to haul up/build in orbit. So, there's still room for improvement. Near Future Propulsion has electrical engines that get close to 10000s of specific impulse with tiny amounts of thrust. You could leverage them in the right way to get there in time in an efficient manner. But by far the best way to do interstellar is to either have a really long mission with electrical engines to set up a supply chain for orbital construction, or use RoverDude's warp drive to set up jump beacons and optimize a system for those on either side. I play with all of Nert's mods and the USI suite + Deep Freeze, OPM, and lots of others, so I'd probably do drone construction of a supply line to build ships and send a bunch of frozen Kerbals over when I have a self-sufficient base. Long-range relays are cheap, Kerbals not so much. -
Nice job! Would you consider sharing the craft file when you're finished? I'd love to fly that.

[1.3]Coyote Space Industries - Cargo Freighter v0.2.4
Esquire42 replied to dboi88's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Amazing mod @dboi88! Definitely a must have now. @linuxgurugamer, is this another one of those mods that you have to fiddle around with to get onto CKAN? I don't see it yet; my apologies if it's just not showing up for me. -
[1.8.x] Kerbal Foundries -- Continued - Tracks, Wheels, and Gear

Holy **** I didn't see that this got released until now. Well done @Shadowmage! All the rep! -
[1.3.0] OPT Space Plane v2.0.1 - updated 29/07/2017
Esquire42 replied to K.Yeon's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
REGARDLESS of whose fault it is, you shouldn't have two copies of the same mod in the same game to begin with. This may be the only conflict you've had like this, but that has nothing to do with where the issue occurs. Your experience is not the complete set of all possible mod combinations in KSP. When a mod developer says that the issue is coming from elsewhere, it's typically coming from elsewhere. Both K. Yeon and stali79 take pride in maintaining/developing this mod and want it to be bug-free; they're not passing the buck and being lazy. Also, may I suggest italics or bold or underline for emphasis? -
I'd give you a log but my install is insanely modded, and sometimes not nicely either. It *could* be an issue with Tweakable Everything like linux suggested above... if I have time I'll run an install with just that and Hangar EDIT: Saw your second post. The one I've noticed it with is the Mk3 cargo bay, because I've been playing around with rover deployment recently. EDIT2: Welp, TweakableEverything isn't the culprit. I can give you a very messy log file while I look for another possible conflict.

No, although that's a lovely mod. There is (now was in my install) a MM patch for Hangers that added that functionality to stock cargo bays. It added the mod's "open bay doors" toggle to cargo bays (meant to be used when the cargo bay is used as a hanger) on top of the standard "open" tweakable. However, these two didn't always work well together: clicking open wouldn't open the doors, nor would clicking open bay doors.
