So I am missing something with this mod. The downloaded Chatterer Extended mod once unzipped does not contain a 'Chatter_Extended' folder, just a 'Chatterer'. Of course the 'Chatterer' folder already exists in my Game directory and it works fine. I renamed the Chatter Extended folder to Chatter_Extended but in game Chatterer does not pull up the added files. I see no one else brought this up so it must be my interpretation of the installation instructions is off. Thanks Dave T

So I have recently upgraded to 2.1.2 and have noticed an anomaly which I cannot track down. I have a few of the more common mods. I have notice that the Nuclear engines which are supposed to be fueled by Liquid Fuel and states this in the .cfg, , is now in game reflecting Hydrogen as the fuel source. This includes The Modular Rocket Systems modded MRS_Nuclear Quad Engine, the LVN "Nerve" Atomic Motor and the RS 'Tiny' XtrLarge Atomic Motor. All three .cfg's state state Liquid Fuel so some other config file is changing this. I thought it was the CryoEngine mod but removing that does not help. (This action actually destroys my Mun Station !) This comes with Liquid Fuel switch option which I thought might the culprit as well but has no affect. I did not have this issue in the prior versions. I've searched the forums but cannot track anything down. Any guidance would be appreciated. Dave

So hello. I have a question regarding the use of Hydrogen fueled engines in terms of Delta V. I know you need more hydrogen fuel verse liquid fuel as it is less dense but am finding it difficult to accurately determine the amount of Delta V I really need. I've built four new spacecraft with Hydrogen fueled engines and spec'd out the Delta V via both MECHJEB and KER. Unfortunately I run out of Hydrogen even before I get to the intended destinations. This leads me to believe the two mentioned tools are not programmed to handle Hydrogen fuel -or- my approach is flawed. I've scanned thru all 25 pages on this topic and find very little information on this. Any assistance would be appreciated. I really want to use Hydrogen fuel as it is lighter and mass is everything in this wonderful game. Plus the Hydrogen tanks look real cool ! Dave T

Thanks. I actually just found my answer reading a similar post that I missed yesterday. By applying the provided 'patch' file one is able to retain the nuclear engines as is. So I am back in business Dave T

First thanks for all these great mods. I do have an issue which I cannot solve with this mod. When I install this mod and I am pretty good working with PC's files, editing etc......all my nuclear engines like the 'MRS Nuclear Quad 3.5' and the 'RS-2 'Tiny' Nuclear Engine' are converted from Liquid Fuel consumption to Hydrogen. Any missions in progress utilizing these nuclear engines become inoperable as its fuel source has been redesignated from Liquid Fuel to Hydrogen. After these missions are complete I plan to install this mod and use Hydrogen. In the meantime I cannot design any new craft using nuclear engines so to avoid the same problem Is this the way this mod is supposed to work ? Thanks Dave T
