Hi! Really love the mod @Angel-125, but I noticed a couple of bugs in the way workers are handled that really bugged me, so I cracked open the code and fixed them as best as I could to compile my own copy. While I was at it I noticed a couple of issues on GitHub regarding KAC integration not working as intended - so I went ahead and fixed that too (in a different branch). I pushed both fixes to a fork on GitHub, but I figured I'd ask here before submitting a pull request in case you already have a better fix in the works. Let me know!

I'm not ferram, but the reason the FAR to stock, universal preset penalises flying in a vacuum is to try and spread the load of 'paying off' the extra delta-v you gain from being able to fly a more efficient ascent across both your atmospheric flight and your vacuum flight. The reason the adjusted preset has such a heavy penalty for flying in atmosphere is that it has to front-load this same ~1000dV penalty to the first 35,000m of altitude, before the atmosphere becomes so thin as to not affect your Isp anymore. Generally speaking it shouldn't significantly affect your rocket design compared to the universal preset (since the idea is to make you carry more fuel into orbit, meaning you need more fuel and possibly thrust in your lifter), but your ascent may need to be more vertical to get enough efficiency out of those engines to reach orbital speed before you run out of fuel.

I think I found a bug, if a rocket has the same sea level and vacuum Isp and "Extend Curve to Zero Isp" is on, the rocket gets set to zero Isp. It's an edge case at worst and easy to work around but I figured I'd mention it.

@PART[LaunchEscapeSystem] { MODULE { name = ModuleDecouple ejectionForce = 500 explosiveNodeID = bottom } } Just make a text file anywhere you like in your GameData folder, name it whatever you like and make the extension .cfg.

Drag the mouse around while holding down the middle mouse button. If you drag the camera down a ways by doing this you should be able to see most of the options.

From your description it sounds like you're running out of power. Chuck a solar panel and plenty of batteries on there and try again.

Are there more M2 parts planned in the future? I really like the slab-sided aesthetic of them and it's a crying shame that they're currently only available as weird (but easy to build in) cargo bays.
