Ah I see. Alright thank you guys for your amazing work !

Thanks @Sir Mortimer for your suggestion. It worked and by dumping the nitrogen, the fuel cell works as intended. I was so used to having Pressure Control (which provides nitrogen capacity to the pod) that I didn't notice I didn't have it. Which made me realize that the Mk1 Command Pod does not have Pressure Control at all. After a few tests I noticed that it's the only crewed capsule that doesn't have it in the Configure Pod option. And adding an External ECLSS Module with Pressure Control doesn't make the planner acknowledge it. It's also the only capsule that doesn't benefits from the upgrades from HDD and sample capacity unlocked in the tech tree. Was it intended as it's the first available pod ? PS: I'm not using any mod except Kerbalism and the dependencies.

Yep, that was my plan by using the included cell in pods but it doesn't work. Any ideas ?

Hello everyone, I just came back to Kerbalism and was happy to see the new version. After trying it however I've noticed a bug : despite having unlocked the Mono+O2 fuel cell from Basic Science and enabling it on my pod, it doesn't consume or produce anything, neither in the planner nor in the "field". I'm running nothing but the Kerbalism mod (core+config), Module Manager and Community Ressource Pack (dependency). Could anyone have a look please?

@Foozle This seems pretty much what I need, thank you !

I guess I could do that, it will just take lots of space on the computer. Still, it appears to be the best solution for now.

Hello everyone, I've been wondering if there is such thing as a program that would allow me to switch between different profiles which would contain different mods. I am currently trying to show my father the game but I don't want to overwhelm him with the plethora of mods I'm using. I also don't want to c/c all the mods folder every time one of us want to play. What I'm thinking about is something close to Mod Organizer for Skyrim. Any suggestion ?

Hello everyone, I just dived back into Kerbalism recently and I noticed that the processes do not have the input / output I'm expecting. For example the scrubber on the Mk1 pod consumes 0.04 EC/s , 0.12 WasteAtmosphere/h and produces 0.03 CO2/s while the default profile (that I'm using) lists a consumption of 0.025 EC/s , 0.00002 WasteAtmosphere/s and a production of 0.02 CO2/s. The input/output seems to be multiplied by 1.5 and I'm not sure why. Can anyone help me with that? Edit: I think I've got it. In the Default profile, there is a small line that multiplies the capacity of the pseudo ressources used by processes by 1.67 The number check out so I guess that must be it.

@Starman4308 Amazing! That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot

@Aegolius13 Thank you for your input, but I was looking for a way using maths to get the delta-v cost of a capture, assuming an ideal Hohmann transfer, without having to rely on maneuver nodes. I'm sorry if I did not make it clear enough. @Starman4308 I was trying to use the vis-viva equation but I'm not sure how. If we keep the example of the mun with the same delta-v map, we expect to need about 310m/s to get into orbit right? First we need to know what's our transfer maneuver looks like. Let's see how the math checks out: Now we get to the encounter ans this is the part where I am lost and I'm no how to get the delta-v to get into orbit. I'm not even sure how to use the vis-viva equation since we're not in orbit and therefore the semi-major axis "a" is the one of a hyperbole. So I'm kind of lost. Any help?

Hello Everyone, I've been wondering for a little over an hour about this now, how can you calculate the delta-v from needed to get into orbit of a body once you enter its Sphere of Influence? On many delta-v maps like this one there is a delta-v needed to get into orbit (mun: 310m/s). I understand the Hohmann transfer which gives the other values but I don't know how to get the delta-v needed to get into orbit once you're intercepted by a body. So can anyone help please?

@Algiark Are you using any mods beside Kerbalism? Perhaps we can pinpoint the cause of the problem if both you and Astroadrian99 use the same mods. It would still be better if you could first check if your issue happens when you're not using any other mod. @Rhedd What you're asking for seems to be hard coded, you'll need some knowledge of C# to change it. If you still want to I can direct you here for the habitat calculation but I wasn't able to find the specific part for the ressource output. Quick edit to add that I have literally no knowledge on C# so I might be wrong when I say it's hard coded. If so, don't hesitate to correct me

Yeah, as long as a part has at least one available space for a Kerbal it will have a Life Support System. Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Kerbalism\Profiles\Default.cfg: @PART[*]:HAS[#CrewCapacity[>0]]:NEEDS[ProfileDefault]:FOR[Kerbalism]

@Baleurion In that case: If you want to add compatibility, look at these particular file: GameData\Kerbalism\System\Signal.cfg and any file in the support section that modifies an antenna like this one: GameData\Kerbalism\Support\JX2Antenna.cfg Then try to add a new file on the support directory that would have the same format. If everything works correctly, you can eventually post it here, the mod author may add it in the next update.

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification ^^

You should check the planner to see if you've got enough power generation to account for your consumption (note that it counts ALL solar panels, even those that are on the other side of the craft and may not receive light) and have a look at this page to make sure you've got enough batteries. Also, unless you're using the Probodobodyne Stayputnik you should have SAS enabled. Here's a link with all the probe cores and their SAS level. And if you require some "strength" to turn, just add a reaction wheel to your craft.

This mod seems pretty interesting to address the lack of LS production outside of Kerbin for TAC LS and USI LS but it gets pretty weak when far from the sun. With the introduction of ISRU, wouldn't it be better to have the parts generate LS directly from EC? This could imply that lamps are providing lights to the algae instead of using the sun's light. This way while in proximity of the sun, one could use solar panels to generate power, which would give the same results as the mod in its current state. But when too far, one could use the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator or the ISRU setup to make liquid fuel + oxidizer which can be used by a fuel cell to produce light. In the end it would result in the possibility of having permanent bases on far planets (OPM ?) with full LS. I realize this change would require a lot of work but I wanted to at least give the idea and see what might happen.

You also need to have enabled "atmospheric control" as an ECLSS setup in one of your manned command pod @astroadrian99 I see that you one of your 'modules" in your station only has crew cabins, which also is the one having the mechjeb case. If that's the one that landed then you didn't have control because crew cabins don't count as manned command module. But I have no idea why you don't have a signal to Kerbin in your station...

Originally I asked this question to know the speed relative to a target for a rendez-vous. Knowing the position / speed of the target and my own speed / position, I wanted to know what would be our relative speed at the closest approach.I know it's given in KSP now but I wanted to know how it one could be able to calculate it. The vis-viva equation doesn't help much in that regard since I wanted I already knew the speed and distance to the orbiting body, and neither does the law of conservation of momentum since it would require me to measure the time that the craft takes to travel a certain portion of its orbit and that felt like cheating (Measuring is too easy and only gives an approximation compared to a proper calculus) Kepler's equation seems to be what I was looking for even if it seems a bit complicated. I won't need a program to calculate it though, I'd prefer making one myself if I need to, it's more fun this way right? Anyway thanks to everyone for giving me more insight on the subject!

Hello everyone! Today I was wondering how one can know the speed of a craft orbiting a planet, after a certain amount of time. For example, if I'm at the periapsis, what would be my speed after 2min? If I'm going at 1500km on a certain orbit, what would be my speed after 5min? It would be easy if the speed would change linearly while going from the apoapsis to the periapsis or from the periapsis to the apoapsis, but I feel like it doesn't work that way. Bonus question: How does the speed change in an elliptical orbit?

Good evening everyone, I wanted to say that participating in this thread is what ultimately made me sign in the KSP forums. Thank you a lot ShotgunNinja for this mod, it is amazing! Now the more serious stuff: I ran some calculations and if I'm correct and if Waste and WasteWater are produced at a 1/1 ratio with Food and Water, then all you need is the waste processor module, the water recycling module and 2 Kerbals. The greenhouse should get you enough food to sustain them as well as a bit of water and oxygen. You'll still have to keep it lit, shielded from radiation and pressurized for it to grow at maximum efficiency. You can also press "B" on the map view while being centered on a celestial body to bring a pop up window. From there you can choose to show the radiation belts. There's also something else I wanted to add: Would it be possible to add other ways to get CarboneDioxyde and perhaps other resources as well? Right now it's only obtainable through breathing and it takes a long while, especially when trying to get some LiquidFuel through the Sabatier Process. To fill the first unlockable tank (FL-T100) it would take about 9 days for one Kerbal. Perhaps add the possibility to have bacteria produce it? IRL we can produce multiple components through bacteria cultures, even insuline which we had to take from pigs only a few years ago, and it is fairly easy and common (I remember making microbiological cultures in high school) so I feel it would fit in the realism optic of the mod.
