There shouldn't be any problems in my opinion. Since "Smart Actuators" is just a config mod, there shouldn't be any conflicts with other mods. All it does in this mod is make the VRTX engine have more than 2 engine modes.

For now it's not possible to convert NptGas to HP. Although there are converters in the making, they won't be released any time soon. It will totally not be collectable from space stations. ..cough...

Yes, the heating is designed to be that way. Although the lowering of the throttle is possibly a side effect. There might be something i've missed while reading the codes. Maybe Squad implemented the feature (throttle decrease) as a failsafe for overheating. Anyways. The engines are most efficient when used by small bursts. I suggest making your spacecraft's TWR to be enough to get you to your target node while the engines are still running nominaly. Otherwise - thermal dissipation tech.

Now that's what i call feedback! I've noted every single thing you mentioned. The engines are still being balanced so you gotta wait for a future update where they'll be much less op. About all of the configs and everything... Since I'm a fairly new modmaker, when i made this mod, i was just testing my ability to accomplish something i just learned. That came with many errors. Although I've already planned on fixing everything, it's gonna take some time... But many thanks for the awesome suggestions.

So basically i've been experimenting with the Particle emitter in Unity. It has two "modules". The Emitter(Script) and Particle System. As i managed to make a nice plume with the Particle System, when i export it, nothing shows up in game. I mean only when i make something with the Script "Module" plume shows up in game. How can i make the plume in the Particle System component and get it to work in game? Tenks I dunno if this help or not. http://prntscr.com/mnlogo

So when i add a ISRU module to an engine config, when the converter is activated, it triggers the engine fx like thrust effect. What could cause that?

Topic says it all. Perhaps a line i yet don't know? Or maybe i have to first loop the animation in unity.

No problemo PART { name = largewang01 module = Part author = KerboNerd mesh = wangg.mu rescaleFactor = 1 node_stack_left = -4.656, -2.69, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 2 node_stack_right = -1.663, -2.69, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 2 node_attach = 0.07, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1 // center of mass offset from center transform TechRequired = start entryCost = 0 cost = 1200 category = Aero subcategory = 0 title = HPWA-01 manufacturer = KerboNerd Aeronautics description = Just a plain old wang adapter!

So basically i made some nice wings with ailerons and the only thing keeping me from posting the modpack is the wings not having any drag. Basically when i step off the throttle, i start instantly falling out the sky. And also the wings don't show the "Air effect" when achieving high velocities. Everything around it has drag but itself.

I tried CRP. Actually my resource is quite original. It's called Neptunium Gas. It's totally fictional (obviously), but you can gather it across the galaxy, compress the gas into Pure neptunium and convert it into plutonium-238. And after that convert the plutonium into the even more fictional resource - HyperPlutonium. It's just highly compressed plutonium. EDIT and yeah, i already did the digging on the configs.

So basically i need the Community Resource Pack. Without it it's a no go, right?

Heyyyy... that's pretty goood... But how do you configure the resource(Helium3) to be gatherable? When i make my scoop to collect my resource, it just says "Nothing to harvest" or something between those lines...

Oh! Ok! Will do! By the way, big fan of your mods

I roughly get the idea your explaining. I'll basically make each object in blender separate (Bot, Top, walls etc.) I'll also be going through your explanations over and over again. Thanks for all of your responses as they've been helpful every time

So since i'm new to modding and i really want to get a hang of it, i want to understand how everything works. For now i've challenged myself to make a space scoop. A part, that collects a fuel while floating in space (basically out of nothing). What would be the easiest way of making it?

the top image is without selecting "convex" in the mesh collider component. When i tried writing the part without the convex enabled, it just acted the same as of it was enabled. By the way, could you check out my latest post? It's more specific compared to this.

So this is what i want http://prntscr.com/mlly3u And this is waht i get http://prntscr.com/mllyc9

So yesterday i made a cargo bay. When i use the mesh collider on the component without the doors, when i check convex, it makes the whole cylinder have collision. When i import the part into KSP, when i put something in the cargo bay, i can't access it anymore because there's a collision mesh on top of the doors. Is there any way to just make the base part collide?

Where do i put the animation after i've made it and it's in my project window? On the part that will be animated or on the whole model?

hmm... ok! Off to testing!

Now THAT'S what i like! Thanks a lot spanner monkey!! By the way, to what i need to assign the animation component? To the part that's going to be animated orr...

You see, when i rotate them separately, there are multiple animations in unity

Let me go through the details of my model. I have 1 base cylinder mesh, and 2 door meshes (They're separate). Just like the mk3 cargobay. Should i select both of the door meshes and add the keyframes to "LocRot"? And where do i find the LocRot? In the transform tab?

Wait, so your saying, i have to keyframe both of the doors at the same time? If so, what variable should i key? EDIT I also never enable the option
