Ekaton

I have a Nuclear Reactor (2.5 m) and a Thermic Electric Generator on top of it. I landed it on Minmus to power my colony up but it is not working at all. What am I doing wrong?

I've unlocked the PAL modules but I can't add then anywhere - they don't show among available parts. How can I fix it?

I have unlocked PAL modules but when I’m actually trying to build something, I can’t find those anywhere. Searching for “PAL” didn’t work either. What might be causing this?

I've tried a wide variety of mining drills and different places which all show as raremetal deposits according to the map, but I get nothing but dirt. Is there any special technique I need to use or any mod I need to install? I do have all the community mods as well as mods by USI, but I can't find anything. I can see those ores on the map too, and it shows about 5% richness. S1, S2 and S3 separators all show as dirt. Everything shows as inactive or nothing to harvest. My engineer can interact with the drill and attempt to change S1,2 or 3 to something else, but I'm missing specialized parts and material kits - how can I get those? Would that help?
