Is it possible that this mod might be causing the new stock missions with 1.11 "add a part to satellite/rover" to fail? Numerous posts about this bug occurring with 1.1.1 missions, but wondering if all these people have Contract Configurator installed. I know I do. The bug goes like this: Mission = add missing part XYZ to satellite. After adding part XYZ, the contract mission does not update with success/completion status.

The add a missing part for satellite or rover career mode missions are cool. However, only 1 out the 5 missions tried in my current career worked correctly. The 4 that failed were due to the mission not recognizing the the part needed was installed. Taken with a grain of salt due to 50+ mods, but man this is frustrating.

Sugar spice and everything green.

KSP was on my watchlist for a long time also. Making History DLC release convinced me to jump on board.

Space music needs to be done just right to set the mood. Hopes that whoever does music for KSP2 can live up to Kevin Macleod space work. The tracks for KSP1 are superb mood setting.

I built a new PC few months back with X2 NVMe M.2 . I noticed a huge improvement in KSP 1 loading times and VAB performance when large number of parts. Whether the performance gain was solely related to NVMe M.2 is debatable because also upgraded from 16GB RM to 32GB higher performance RAM + better CPU cores via AMD.

IRL, Venus is way hotter then Mercury even though further from the Sun. Thick atmosphere traps heat in. https://www.nasa.gov/venus So Eve with the super thick atmosphere like Venus should be very hot. Hotter than Moho. https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/universe/surface-of-venus-why-is-venus-the-hottest-planet.html

Great Video.

Better heat and cold handling, Eve should require massive tech to be able to land a Kerbal there due to heat. Re-entry to atmospheres should be less forgiving. Life support( duh)

Ah, that makes total sense now. Thanks. This doesn't quite seem a bug, more of a questionable design decision. Want to raise this item in hopes of fixing this design decision to be consist with Kerbal history and also educate community who may wonder about this contract: Accepted a career mode stock contract to "Attach a new part(Small radiator) to a satellite in orbit of Kerbin". The contract details specified the satellite name. So go into Tracking Station to look for the satellite and there is zero satellites (other then my own found). Well digging and poking around, discovered this named satellite for the contract is under the "Junk" category filter. Seriously, come on guys. This is an inconsistent categorization decision in regards to other stock contract missions for interfacing with non-player originated objects. Not to mention illogical to in every angle of thought to put a new part on a piece of junk in space.

Seems bug reports should be minus mods, no?

Oh this fix was so needed. Thank you! Fix Fuel tanks could get stuck with no references to transfer resources when opening and closing PAWs while a transfer was being done.

How the heck is this not release 1.2 ?

Looks like need to call in sick to work for a few days. Release the kraken!

Thanks!

Precide Node Continued does not do what I was hoping for. The main thing I want is simply a way to exactly place the maneuver node on the exact apogee or the exact periapse. Of course, this maneuver node precisely placed automation needs to be tempered with proper tech research. The current method of hovering your mouse over the indicator can be imprecise at times. Why not a button that just exactly places the maneuver node on the apogee? Any mods that currently do this precise placement of node on to the apogee or periapse?

Agree, the music of KSP is top notch. A lot of games, I turn off the music after a while. But not KSP, KSP music creates the mood even after a thousand hours. Fav for me is "Space Music track 3"

installed just this mod and shadows clipping graphics started appearing. Shadows clipping = black triangles appear on ground, usually while moving/turning and not when standing still. While I do have a lot of other mods installed, removing this mod makes problem go away. There is nothing in the log indicating errors.

SH5(stock) was and is a bug filled mess. Thanks to subsim mod community for salvaging SH5.

Confirm "Turning Off Celestial Bodies Casting Self Shadows" fixed issue for me also.

Kudos on announcing a more reasonable timeframe. Hoping the 2022 announcement means 2nd half 2022. Quality > speed

Please video update. --rabid fans

The most recent published article by a team of scientists on metallic hydrogen I can find is March 2020: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/5.0002104 Seems very clear from reading those conclusions that scientists and scientific body looking into metallic hydrogen is not in agreement here and the questions are very much open to the scientific community.. Not in agreement and open questions = Tis possible AND tis non-possible. Means there is more work to be done. No more, no less. Your arguments implying "never" , implying "We all agree", and "disproven" are are blatantly false and emotionally charged. Have no idea what would cause a few people to get emotional about such a theorized subject. The evidence is very clear though, the scientific community disagrees with your implications of "not possible" , "we all agree" and "disproven".

Thanks for the link, that document does appear to state metastable metallic hydrogen would have a life span at ambient conditions to be so short as to not be usable. The document does not claim metastable state of metallic hydrogen impossible. That link and document does not prove that the scientific community agrees that metallic hydrogen is a waste of time. Quite the opposite in fact, much work has been done since 1974 to continue pursuing the theory of a usable stage of metal hydrogen. 2017 article of work, concluding that metastable metallic hydrogen is possible but only under 200-300gPA. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.04900.pdf 2017 article of work, concluding that metastable metallic hydrogen is possible but also not under ambient conditions. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316955213_On_the_possibility_of_metastable_metallic_hydrogen Think I said "cryogenics" makes liquid hydrogen metastable inaccurately, but that is only inaccurate when considering earth ambient temperatures and pressures. Liquid hydrogen would be unnaturally occurring for most of our solar system, except the farthest outer edges. At the farthest edges, where extreme cold exists , liquid hydrogen would be considered metastable at the local ambient temperature. In interstellar space, liquid hydrogen would be considered metastable. However, we need to discuss more practical terms of earth ambient and 99.9% of our solar system metastable. Liquid hydrogen is engineered usable on earth with limitations because of engineering solutions(cryogenics) that provide for the temperature requirements for liquid to stay the required cold level for a limited time span. So if liquid hydrogen is NOT metastable and humans engineered a method to use liquid hydrogen, humans could also engineer a method to use non-metastable metallic hydrogen. Probably thousands of years from now when new stronger materials are discovered, but seems to me to make metallic hydrogen usable means engineering a material and method to handle insanely huge pressures OR mixing metallic hydrogen with another substance to make the pressure requirements not so extreme. Exactly as with done with many wonderful engineered solutions that humans use, such as dynamite. Centuries and centuries went by humans thought nitroglycerin was too unstable (but powerful) to be used ... until Alfred Nobel mixed another substance in to stabilize the substance. So this thread is no longer about: If metallic hydrogen is possible (Not seeing much disagreement here, seems to be agreed by all in theory) If metallic hydrogen is metastable (Disagreement here, but seems pointless in light of liquid hydrogen also being metastable at ambient conditions) Hopefully, we are all aware that new substances and elements are discovered by humans over time. The periodic table of elements has not remained static in my life time. Hopefully, we are also aware that humans do discover and develop stronger materials over time by mixing elements together. . Materials that one day might even be stronger than diamonds. Materials so strong that maybe the material could withstand the pressures of Jupiter. Maybe not even a new material by itself, but a new material along with strong electo-magenetic force to meet the requirements of the physics at hand. This thread went on and on about how metallic hydrogen is un-metastable which by itself proves metallic hydrogen can't be used. But that argument about metallic hydrogen being not metastable at ambient conditions is moot point because humans have engineered solutions for many substances that are not metastable at ambient conditions. See liquid hydrogen for example. Need to dig a little bit harder to tell humans why humans can't develop a solution to a chemical, atomic or elemental problem. Human history is full of examples of overcoming these types of challenges. Hanging a whole argument on "not-metastable" is quite thin and doesn't hold up to human history. Lastly, glad this got moved out of KSP2 game forum and to non-game discussions. Didn't catch that this thread moved read this response. I only went back to this thread today cause of a link from another post in the game forums. Will not be participating anymore in this garbage unless this drivel comes back to the KSP game forums. Please stop making more threads about these false science methods in the game forums, leave this drivel here outside the main game forums. If humans went through the ages with this type of thinking of only trying what we already know, humans would still be living in caves. Thankfully, great humans in history did not think like what I am seeing from the negativity flood by a very few in this thread. Thankfully, KSP is about Kerbals and a parallel universe.

Far as I can tell, the Earth scientific community from the about 1700's has moved towards scientists proving and dis-proving each other theories in the scientific community. Scientists publish their opinions on agreement and disagreement. Einstein's theories did not automatically get accepted because "he said so", he had to prove his theories AND the world wide scientific community agreed and some disagreed. These folks published their work on proving and disproving the theories, they did not just "Say so". This proving and disproving of theories through published works of opinions is the accepted way of scientific progress globally for hundreds of years now. From what I can tell in the scientific community, scientists love to prove and/or disprove each other. Searching the internets, there does not appear to be wide spread scientific published opinions claiming that metastable metallic hydrogen is impossible or even unlikely. There is plenty of published and by a large margin published scientific documents about the theory of metastable metallic hydrogen being possible. The amount of work and published theories disproving metastable metallic hydrogen theories is zero far as I can tell. Liquid hydrogen in use by humans today is NOT metastable at ambient Earth atmosphere temperature and pressure, yet humans have engineered tools and materials to make liquid hydrogen metastable and usable at earth pressures and temperatures. I.E. --> cryogenics. Please correct if this assumption about liquid hydrogen being not metastable on earth ambient conditions is incorrect. Real world scientific published works matters. The opinion of a few here and a minority from what I can tell is not backed up by published work of scientists published and searchable on the internets. "Trust me, I know more than anyone" is the overwhelming attitude I am seeing from the few in this thread. Few = 2 posters. Think what I learned the most from this forum thread of fantasy physics drivel is to have high hopes the KSP2 dev's ignoring or rejecting this whole line of thinking in this thread about what is possible in a parallel universe of little green creatures where the laws of physics of Earth do not apply. Published scientific works of opinions on the theory of metastable metallic hydrogen being possible: hhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/316955213_On_the_possibility_of_metastable_metallic_hydrogen https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.04900.pdf http://www.jetp.ac.ru/cgi-bin/dn/e_034_06_1300.pdf Published scientific works of theory disproving these works? Corrected for you. Where are these documents "since the 1970's" ? You have links? Book titles maybe we can read from a library if not available on the internets?
