With all the due respect, I think it's more vanity than hubris. Hubris is excessive pride in the abilities you have. Nobody is a hell of an overstatement. https://www.google.com/search?q=KSP+kerbal&newwindow=1&sca_esv=697ef796fdf142b1&sca_upv=1&tbm=nws&prmd=isvnmbtz&sxsrf=ADLYWIIIH1GZtdFejJF6E0qkmPP2X8jjWw:1715814738088&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjm2Nr_45CGAxU2rZUCHQdTAQsQ0pQJegQILBAK&biw=1309&bih=764&dpr=1 This post? There's a recent update from the OP there, I suggest to read it.

Not exactly - I just didn't gave any attention to Robotics yet. Without fully understanding what in hell KSP was doing to TweakScale under the bonnet (what I only grasped in the last weeks, check this if you like gory details), there were no point on expanding my surface for "attacks" adding support to Robotics that are already brittle by themselves. Of course, there're "alternatives" to fix the problem directly - but the ones I'm aware are not EULA neither Forum's rules compliant. So I'm reluctant to doing what they do. My Country's legislation even forbids me from doing it without permission. I'm checking your KSP.log right now. Stay tuned. === == = POST EDIT = == == Ahh!! Now I understood! You are using the Beta Branch! Scale v2.5.0.62 ... [LOG 13:55:05.139] [TweakScale] Version 2.5.0.62 /L BETA Wait a few hours, I'm finalizing the (toilet) paper treadmill and publishing 2.5.0.63 before (my) midnight. There's a good chance that whatever I did to finally avoiding being thrown under the bus by Editor will also help to fix your specific issue. But don't hold your breath on it yet - Robotics are Experimental at this point yet. If it will get fixed, it will be by plain "luck".

So you are on the wrong thread, or you have something extra on your Rig - send me your KSP.log and I will check it and pinpoint you to the right direction, or try whatever you are using on the TweakScale 2.4.8.0 that I'm currently testing before kicking it thought the doors (or window, sometimes this thing just drive me nuts! )

But yet, Mars is the only known colonized planet in the Universe. By Robots. There're robots "living" there too! Consider Moon's colonization a Work in Progress.

Are you using the TweakScaleExperimental trick? The problem with it is that, well, it's experimental and I didn't gave it any serious thought while trying to nailing some pesky mishaps on Editor (what I finally did this month!!! #HURRAY!!!). On the bright side, it's perfectly possible that by solving these last problems on TweakScale Beta, I ended up solving these ones too by "accident". I'm working on a release for TS "mainstream" this week. On the other hand, if you don't know what's this Experimental thingy, I'm afraid you are barking on the wrong tree. It's IR's maintainer decision. I may override it, but by then you will probably lose support from the maintainer - so I refrained myself from publishing anything on the matter. But I agree with you, we would do good use of a more versatile resizing options.

Perhaps. But are you sure you are not the one wearing it? Let's get some perspective here. The 1971 John Lennon's album "Imagine", featuring the eternal song with the same name, sold about 8 Million copies at its time (I'm taking the original album, not the reprints). Source. This is less than twice the 5 Million units sold by KSP or, in the other hand, KSP sold more than half copies of the best selling album from John Lennon ever. Oukey we are talking a 1971 versus a 2010 sized consumer base. On a somewhat naïve approximation, World population in 1971 was about 3.7 Billion people, while in 2010 it was somewhat as 6.7 B. Source. So, assuming that Imagine would had the very same reception in 2010, we are talking about hypathetical 1,81 * 8 = 14.48 Millions copies (again, hypathetical approximations! ). What makes KSP selling about 1/3 of the total number of copies of the best selling album of one of the best selling singers of all time. KSP was (is?) huge. It have historical and cultural value beyound most people realize, including you. Of course, you are free to disagree, what you probably will and this will settle the matter. But your opinion can't change facts: @HarvesteR created something that is comparatively 33% as popular as the best seller album of one the best seller musicians of all times. His childhood fantasies were materialized and have the remarkable distinction of being launched into Space and visited the International Space Station (anyone knows if Jeb is still there?). And you, my friend? What can you say about you? What can you say about you that would make your opinion more valuable than mine or other people around here? You being entitled to an opinion is not the same as have it valued by anyone else - you need to bring some effort to ground your opinions - more or less the same way I'm doing for mine. Otherwise, it would be only empty words...

Besides Snoopy, it's the only IP that I know that was sent to space. https://airandspace.si.edu/air-and-space-quarterly/winter-2024/snoopy-in-space In fact, the franchise is now even on Netflix episodes: If this is what you call a niche, it's a HELL of a popular one! Unfortunately, your argument is going into an Ad Hominem route. By insisting on pinpoint his errors, you appears to be striving on diminishing his successes. Besides, and this is something to be kept in mind: the same team that declared KSP¹'s code a holy mess was the same one that, well, was working on the holy mess for almost a decade. So they failed to fix the mess at best, or created it at worst. So, exactly, why we should blindly please them over @HarvesteR and the original Team? Why is so important to ignore that, coding a mess or not, KSP¹ sold estimated 5 Millions copies - a really impressive score for the very fist job of a kid that just left the College?

Today I have two songs: and

C-suits came across the sea They brought us pain and misery They killed our vibes They killed our deeds They took our GAME for his own need We coded it hard We coded it well Out of their plans, we commit them hell But code reviews, make us retrocede Oh, will we ever be set free?

There's an old adage where I live, Brazil: This tongue-in-cheek adage means, essentially, that you should embrace your problems and solve them, instead of fighting them. You know, I would love having some of these problems myself!

You can blame @HarvesteR up to KSP 1.1.2 , when he left. KSP 1.2.2 have the oldest nasty bug still in existence, by the way. You are talking about the very first big job from a kid that had just left the College. Make no mistake, one of the most influential video-games from all times, a Cultural Phenomena, is the first work of a kid on his very first job. He had learnt a lot since them. Yes, you can trust him. Not because he will not make mistakes, but because he will learn from them - while doing new ones on his way, as every single competent professional in this World. That said, he is going to need some help from the Original Team too - KSP wasn't only @HarvesteR child, he had support from a lot of people. You know, he signed a pretty nasty Non Compete Agreement when he left Squad. He wasn't allowed to do absolutely anything that could be seen as KSP competition without risking having his cheeks ripped apart on a law suit. But, you know, these problems may have an ending in the near future. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/04/ftc-announces-rule-banning-noncompetes

I would not use "definitely". I had worked on a Marketing Shop in the (long) past, and this was in the menu. As well as to shutdown for a few minutes a critical service to measure how many active users you really have by counting the support tickets later, or to deactivate a login to check if someone is using it. Just because it was easier and cheaper than paying for a monitoring service. Don't let your professional ethics get into your reasoning - there're a lot of unethical people in charge of things around the World.

The game, perhaps not - but the Studio was doomed already no matter what. The current state of affairs related to the Game Industry is absolutely terrible. BLOOD MONEY "Being acquired is a stepping stone to having your studio shut down" Gaming founders and CEOs speak out on the current state of the industry https://www.vg247.com/video-game-ceo-acquisition-tango-gameworks-microsoft-sony I would fasten my seat belt in crash position while observing what the near future reserve to us.

This one is for our friend @AtomicTech. Some people just can't get enough!

The truly KSP2 Successor!!! (or predecessor?)

"Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio" https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/8/24152137/xbox-hi-fi-rush-tango-gameworks-matt-booty Quote: “We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” They don't need Developers, they need games. In the exact same way MS didn't needed Mobile Developers when they bought Nokia, they needed the hardware to run their own O.S. on it. Now we can better understand what's happening on the Industry (including TTI). There's a brace for impact, the big dogs are buying everything they lay their eyes on - and companies not willing to get bought are bracing for (financial) impact: hostile takeovers happens when the current stockholders don't see value enough on the stocks and are prone to sell them to whoever pays the better price. It's the reason a lot of people still think that Stephen Elop was pushed into the Nokia's Board and became CEO by God knows what means - to make things happens in a way that would make current stockholders be willing to sell their stocks - what Microsoft gladly obliged. There's a chance this is happening right now. There's a chance that this is happening even on this Community right now. I strongly suggest people to do backgrounds checks on every people "working" here (being paid or not). There's a chance a potential hostile buyer had already foot a stronghold around here.

There's absolutely nothing better that can be said about the subject that wasn't said here: Except by a tiny little detail: THEY ARE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. It's "by design". They have nothing to gain by speaking something now, before everything goes public on Q2 Earnings Conference Call (the next one, 16th of the current month). And they have nothing to lose neither by remaining silent. In fact, it may be even a tactic to measure the interest on the Franchise - the more people are crying loud, the more is the potential customer base in the future, and this will surely help them on planning how much to spent on it. One person is unpredictable. A group of people is statistically predictable with a very great rate of success (the bigger the group, the most accurate are the prediction) once you know what you need to measure. We are being monitored. As we were lab rats - the only difference, if that they need these rat labs' money to be kept afloat. So, no. They don't need to do anything to get what they need from us - we are already doing it for them.

They are the fuel!! In the most strict sense, we are all NPCs on life. Check the local graveyard, there're lots and lots of reminiscences (dark punk not intended... or perhaps just bit) that the Game (World) didn't ended when they passed away. Or perhaps just failing.

Yep! They are in the project's github page, on the section "Sponsor this Project". https://github.com/net-lisias-ksp/distantobject However... There're some inconveniences while trying to sponsor a Brazilian, the fees are... hummm... inconvenient. (it's the reason I like CurseForge - I can accumulate the points and take them every a year or two, making just one transaction and saving a ton of money in the process)

You know, the idea is not bad - but I would do some calculations the same just for it, and I think I found a dirty trick to get it for free. I don't have the time to try it in the short term (things are somewhat hairy on DayJob©), so I'm reticent to open my big mouth without proper grounds (I had to eat my words recently on MM/L on something about :HAS, I think it's a good idea to try to avoid doing it again! )

But then why not just deinvest the Studio and recoup the money? Like... I'm a taxi driver, and the costs of the car are eating badly the incoming and I want to quit this taxi business. In this situation, how I would recoup most of the money? By selling the car to someone willing to be in this business or by putting it down into a recycler for the money from the recycled materials? It's the reason I think we are missing something important - the only situation in which the second option on my example above would be the best outcome is if the price of the recycled materials after writing the car off outweigh the money you would earn by selling the car to someone. What's only true if the car is really a rotten tomato... Or you had stripped the car of anything valuable and then are going to deduct the price you paid for it from the taxes as losses. I have (had, switched industries) more than 25 years on development on embedded systems, and I had seen THREE Corporate take overs (one of then, absolutely hostile). And I agree, no one shuts down a whole division for poor performance. They do it for money. Once, I saw a division being shutdown after a merge (that hostile one) because there was already another division doing exactly the same job (bought on a previous merge), and this division were performing poorly when compared to that one, so they scrapped this division and kept the other. In other situation, the buyer literally paid 1USD for the whole Company (the seller was desperate to get rid of the expenses and cut the losses). The buyer stripped the dead body from anything of value, and then terminated it, because this would be more profitable in the short run than sanitizing the Company and make it profitable again (and they could do it, but they had no interest on the Brand, that market was collapsing). And there's that Nokia stunt, with Stephen Elop in the helm - Microsoft bought Nokia pretty cheap and literally wrote it off after some time, deducting the money invested from their taxes as losses.
