    It's just tweakscale configs for mods that don't add it themselves already, such as Near Future Solar.

    Pretty much only WBI will support all of Snacks to the fullest, though it's straight forward to add functionality to other parts with a simple Module Manager patch. You can see examples in the MM_stock.cfg in Snacks Module Manager patches folder. For example, to add Air Scrubbers to parts : You can do something similar with Snack Recycler or just adding the various life support resources.

    MMMMmmmmmm shiny British things. My wiki senses are tingling....

    I'm trying to +PART a model but it's getting removed by a separate NEEDS check. How can I overwrite the NEEDS? Specifically, Universal Storage 2 USSolidWasteWedge NEEDS Kerbalism, which I'm not running so it gets deleted. I'd like to +PART the wedge and use it for Snacks Soil. What order should I run my patch in? BEFORE won't work I assume, because MM needs US2 to load first so my patch has something to +PART AFTER doesn't work because the part doesn't load due to a failed NEEDS check in the US2 config.

    Picture two overlapping circles with the same circumference. It takes the same amount of time to travel around the circles even though they they don't have the same centre point. Ap/Pe is essentially just a measure from the centre point to the "top" and "bottom" of the ellipse. SMA is the important number here because it's a measure of how big the ellipse is (and therefore how long it takes to travel around it). Same SMA = same orbital period.

    USI uses the launch event to trigger life support mechanics such as homesickness/habitation. Kerbals "launched" virtually using KSTS therefore don't register as away from home.

    You need around 5k dV to get into LKO in JNSQ. Kvant-1 with FGB-derived tug on a Proton-K with Blok-D upper stage can just about achieve that if you reduce the monoprop fuel in the FGB a bit but you won't have much left over for orbital rendezvous. If you dispense with the tug and re-purpose the Blok-D (or Briz) as a mini tug you should get around 6K dv, which is sufficient. Alternatively lob a tug up separately and RV in orbit for the final positioning and docking.

    It does work like that but I suspect you're pointing to the same model but with a different name, so the first is getting ignored. I've updated all the craft file and it should be relatively straight forward to edit a savegame and find/replace the old RCS names with the new ones.

    I'll happily improve my rough guide if you can point out glaring errors!

    It's just a logo from an ArmA group I've been running for a few years, which I use as an avatar pic on Discord.

    More satellites! Actually just a handful of sats available in BDB Dev branch. More here

    I've done a rough build guide for Mir. I've not documented every module in detail but hopefully it serves as a reference. I'll chuck the craft files to Beale for adding to the collection - they probably not 100% perfect but good enough. https://github.com/friznit/Unofficial-Tantares-Wiki/wiki/Mir

    Sweet - I've set Rep decay to 10%, let's see how I get on! I can reconcile that with the concept of my stakeholders (public relations/press/government) getting disillusioned with my inactivity and therefore my Reputation decreasing and so I'm less influential when it comes to securing funds in the next budget round. Losing Rep because I've not spent the budget seems a bit counter intuitive to me though.

    I'm about about to hit the mid-game in my current JNSQ career with Bureaucracy and Strategia running together (half way through the tech tree and approaching Duna landing time). Barring that one issue that you fixed immediately for me it's been pretty flawless so far. I've dropped Rep rewards down to 50% because between Strategia, Contracts and Milestone rewards I'm already getting 1.5 mill budget every 30 days, which is more than enough (and avoiding some of the wildly generous Strategia options). On that note, it would be a nice added difficulty option to introduce Rep decay over time. At the moment I can choose to trade Rep (and therefore future budget) for some Strategia options, or there is the occasional Rep loss from random events. Otherwise there's little else that detracts from Rep unless I carelessly pancake a boatload of Kerbals. On the topic of big project funding, instead of loans I think I would prefer a Capital Investment allocation as a fourth option (i.e. allocate some budget each month to a savings pot), as it's more in the spirit of planning ahead.

    I'm guessing it means Planetshine works in 1.9, as implied in the first sentence of the original post.

    I particularly enjoy designing new launch vehicles and payloads so I tend to build Expendable LV's all the time and rarely use the same design twice. Space infrastructure is driven by whatever end goal I set myself. Previous career it was to do a full suite of ScanSat scans and land a probe on every body in the system, so that didn't require much in the way of space stations and fuelling outposts. One before that was to colonise a distant planet with at least 30 kerbals, so that took a bit more infrastructure.

    I noticed that there's typically half the duration of Air available vs Snacks in crewed module by default. I had assumed that was by design to encourage use of air scrubbers but your observation makes me wonder if it's an oversight? Also I've been farting around without much success trying to make a Module Manager patch for Universal Storage parts, mostly driven by the need to carry extra Air and Bad Air scrubbers (there aren't many options for the latter, even in Pathfinder). It occurred to me after seeing your post that it's probably easier to simply rename Fresh Air to Oxygen and Bad Air to CO2 and then the US2 parts that are already configured that way would just work (though presumably some of the NEEDS rules would need to tweaked to include Snacks). Question is, would this break Pathfinder & Buffalo rover parts that have Snacks-related Air Scrubbers installed or is that all driven by the Fresh Air config?

    I've got craft files I think from your old download that cover Kvant, Kvant-2, Spektr, Priroda, Kristall and the core module. They need scrubbing for the new part names but I think that pretty much covers it? Edit: btw when I'm done documenting things I'll chuck you all the craft files to add to the drop box - should be an example of every LV, spacecraft and space station module, give or take.

    I've listed it under Vostok along with some of the other R-7 variants. My crazy logic being that people would be most interested in building Sputnik, Vostok and Soyuz because they're the most famous ones, and whilst Luna/Voskhod/Molniya/Polyot were all variations along the way, there's a limited amount you can do with the available parts in game - e.g. there's no S1.5400 engine (that I know of) for the Blok-L fourth stage on Molniya, though you could kitbash something with any suitably small vacuum engine.

    There are no official craft files but there are various build guides available on my wiki here for reference.

    I really like the models but I've had to hack together a bunch of configs to make them work. The VAB was fine (I pretty much just copied the EPL config) but I couldn't make the pads work. I would love to see it updated by someone who knows what they're doing.
  24. Friznit
    My guess is you're on KSP 1.7.3, and/or you're on the slightly older version of B9 Partswitch. You'll need to update to at least 1.8.1 and the updated version of B9

    Unfortunately I've hit a rather critical nullref which is preventing the R&D centre upgrading any further. Everything else seems to be working fine still (so far).
