Yeah, it isn't straight forward but it's just an option. That mod sounds interesting. It'd be good to know which one you're thinking of. Somewhat related, you can also interact with kOS over Telnet these days. And, there's the Telemachus mod that exposes a lot of in-game info for use outside.

You could use kOS to check whether or not the craft is controllable, I imagine.

Hot tip: this was creating an issue with the Active Texture Management mod, causing the initial KSP loading screen to stall with no other indication of a problem. Removing the part file KA_Engine_125_03 (and, the similarly plagued KA_Engine_375_01), skipping it, allows the game to finish loading.

Is this compatible with 23.5? If so, anyone care to put up a new, working link?

Usually weird lookin' means fugly as all hell around these parts but these look very nice. Throw them at some other mods that allow for (pseudo)multiplayer, automation (e.g. kOS), craft staying loaded / simulatied at large distances and you've got some NPCs.

I nearly ignored your excellent work because of the deceptively dull title.

Given what you now know, how would you go about attempting the separate problem of keeping remote areas simulating? I imagine you may've stepped into that realm with this task.

You could calculate a value, a signature, (er, a hash?) that's based on the collection of a craft's parts. When you come back to find a mishmash of two crafts with two #1's.. two #2's.. and so on, you calculate signatures for the possibilities of their combination to work out which parts belong to each original craft, and then spot a match. Sounds inefficient I know (relatively anyway - what is it, 2^[no. of parts]? possibilities) but then again, the way the two sets of parts arrange themselves in your new, combined list, would be the same from each pair to pair of the same number I would imagine, if you know what I mean, yeah. E.g. it turns out the order is #1a, #1b, #2a, #2b, #3a, #3b.. as opposed to something like #1a, #1b, #2a, #2b, #3b, #3a.. So.. at the very least, you've now been mentally stimulated. I hope. Haha.

I'm keen-as about kOS. I'm glued to your updates. Keep at it! And now, some stray suggestions. I've written up notes on all sorts of possibilities and will keep adding to them, I can't help myself. Here's a snippet. - The ability to create multiple console windows so you can, for instance, have another window streaming values in real-time. Or, visualising / graphing data. - A bit more involved: kOS as a means of writing AI. I should ask, is an instance of this able to run on a craft when it isn't in focus? If not, it's pretty important stuff :0

I saw this on Spaceport and after clicking on it, I was sent to a search page with the first result being.. toroidal fuel tanks. So, this is legit and not actually some evil recursive joke?

As with any inclusion or change to a game, what do these things add to the experience? Can their inclusion be justified?
