Same way that normal fuel is produced. Mine ore, and then have a converto-tron convert it.

I'm getting a crash when trying to load in the game. The game crashes when trying to load from heatcontrol/parts/support/heat-exchanger/heat-exchanger-25-1/heat-exchanger-25-1. What all do you need from the crash reports? I'm going to try removing this file and if that doesn't work then I'll try uninstalling the mod, which I don't want to do because I love it so much lol. Error Log: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ak8xxGyCFaNNyF4Da9O7xUkBJHMX Output_log: https://1drv.ms/t/s!Ak8xxGyCFaNNyF9Q1D6FxToMruBm I'll hopefully have more information for you tomorrow Nertea, but keep up the great work! Edit: Also if it helps, it happens after the module manager patches. Edit 2: Going through and deleting the individuals files, I've noticed that each time I delete one, the next file causes a crash as well. I've uninstalled the mod, as well as some others I had that weren't update for 1.3 yet, and will check back in. Edit 3: I'm just going to start with a fresh install, adding mods on starting with Nertea's mods.

I'm not sure how to post pictures directly into the forums, but I have a few designs that I've put into imgur albums that I'll link. The whole of the Kerbin logistics network planned out, this is supposed to work in conjunction with the next album to allow seamless interplanetary missions. This is my old interplanetary ship, designed to work with the previous logistics network for refuel and refit, as well as crew rotations. This is an album showcasing the refueling station I had built to refuel my interplanetary ships around minmus between missions. I was in the process of redesigning a new interplanetary ship for longer duration missions, when the 1.3 update happened, still waiting on a few mods to update before I try it again. (Mk IV mainly, but I'm still getting load errors when trying to load on of the NFT mods can't remember the one off the top of my head) Finally, the massive ore lifting craft that I devised to get ore from Minmus surface, to the previous refueling station. Sorry for all the album postings, but I am in industrial engineer and one of my dream jobs would be to set up/work on a system similar to this irl, so I'm rather excited that I can set it up in KSP, albeit a much more simple version.

That makes sense. I just know the Nertea's parts packs don't seem to work, but I guess that is for some other reason. I'll just download this and see when Nertea's stuff is updated :D. Thanks!

Don't mean to sound rude or impatient or anything, any planned update to 1.3? I don't see anything in the last couple of pages.

You can also obtain it from depleted fuel form the Near Future Electrical reactors and the nuclear processor.

Here it is for others as well.

Revert to an older version? I'm not sure if it'll be coming back in the end though either.

Pretty sure that support was removed for the time being since Nertea hates IVA's (If I recall correctly).

I am, the create a contract system is something I didn't know that I needed until now. I just need to create a backup/make sure all my kerbals are home so they don't die if (when) stuff breaks haha.

Download an older version of near future, as these parts were soft depreciated in one of the last patches (I believe) so they won't break ships, but can't build with them anymore. I would suggest to change up your ships in VAB, but be cautious. When the final update rolls out for these mods, I believe that these parts will be hard depreciated, which means it'll break any and all ships you have in game.

Probably a good way to balance this is to remove the cooling option from the Aviation tanks, or increase the costs.

Maybe, but they also burn more fuel for more power. I know in space, the size and shape of the bell is also an important factor. Exhaust speed I'm pretty sure is the largest factor however. I am not a rocket scientist however, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.

Look amazing! And also probably would fit better as an interplanetary control point.

Here is a ship I made using KA using @eddiew designs.

So, if I don't have the reactor on an engine turned on, when I start the throttle will it automatically turn on but take time to get up to temperature correct?

Yea I think that's what I'm going to end up doing. I'll post my launcher and ship and everything as well for you to critique or admire if that's your thing

Ah ok. On a similar but sort of unrelated note, did you get them into space with or without a fairing? I have a similar design, and even the SpaceY 5m fairing doesn't get big enough. I may just end up having the fairing go down from the top to try to cover everything but the engines on the side. I have a similar setup to your Full Stein Ahead fuel shuttle if that helps haha.

I love your ships, and they may inspire me to create some of my own based on your designs! I'm not creative enough to think about branching out like you have lol. Where do you get the large ISRU from?

That may be my ship to go beyond Dres haha. The new 5000 EC reactor, and the flat one for 7000 EC to power two lithium engines, as well as some refining equipment and such, may be overkill, but it's whatevs haha. Awesome news! I'll be sure to make sure to retire my ships before this update drops then. Perhaps land them on Minmus as relics of a past time.

If only I didn't just finish building my interplanetary ship about a week ago to I could now add even moar engines! Oh well, next iteration, It'll be incorporated :P. I finally was able to get around to using your large circular girders for this design as well haha.

I think that he just wants to have reactors that power massive amounts of ion engines to not provide very small amounts of thrust haha.

Yes it would, and it truley is challenging. Only put a probe into orbit around Sarnus, have one scheduled to fly around Plock-Karen in about 4 years game time but I don't think that I'll be able to put it into orbit around the system... Still need to try and visit urlum and neidon as well...

In the update album, what is that attached to the bottom of the 3.75m reactor with all the pipes and stuff. I don't recognize it from any of your mods.

You're plan sounds good to me. I haven't been beyond Dres with a manned mission, so take everything I say with a grain of salt lol It should be within range, thanks to the boosting that OPM does to the tracking station and the most advanced antenna. A relay would still be good to have control on the far sides of Sarnus and it's moons, although 2 antenna in high polar orbits (one over north and one over south poles, perhaps slightly inclined of the 90* line) should have you covered, I would imagine. I would imagine both of these are possible, just watch for overheating when capturing. If you're coming in in a straight line, you may be going too fast to be able to get to a depth that produces anything meaningful. I would say electric rotors would probably be your best bet for flying around, as you don't have to watch so much on fuel, just your EC generators. Never heard of Ground Construction, but a refueling base would definitely be a plus. Why not use the electric lander for Eeloo also? Or is it too big at that point? All in all, looks fairly good! Good luck and don't forget to post screenshots of your mission when you do! I'm trying to plan a mission to jool, but I still don't have a surface base on Duna/Ike yet
