Your historical missions make career mode worthwhile for me. Absolutely brilliant work. So far I am not tired of repeating them again and again. They are so much more satisfying than the stock contracts and most all other mod contracts besides. You posted the following below list of requirements for the various historical missions to drop a while back. I wonder if some things have changed? For example, is Large Electronics still in the tech tree? So far in this career save I got the Vostok & Voskhod missions and the 2 Luna and 2 Agena missions. I got Tiros 1 but not any later Tiros nor any of the Mariner, Apollo and SkyLab. This career save is in the middle part of the tech tree. Last career save I played up to the end of the tech tree and the extended Duna missions and Apollo 17 did not ever drop. Last save I used the stock tree. This time I am using CTT if that changes anything. I do an enormous amount of contract rejecting at mission control! Oh, I also have not seen the MCE Lander and Orbital research contracts yet in this game. Maybe I need to do the purchase entry cost on the ionization chamber and the mass spec tube? I will give that a try. Yes. My reputation is at about 75. Edit: OK, Apollo 7 has just now turned up. I wonder what has happened to the Mariner missions?

G'day Trigger, 7 days I have been watching (f5) this thread and it has been unusually quiet. No rush, please take your time, but I just wanted to note that there is at least one person out there hyped for the next version. Maybe you are waiting for 1.0.3, probably wise. Cheers, Kaa.

I have found this also (KSP linux version) and I have no workaround.

Ah! Thanks, good to know it is not just on my KSP.

Thanks for the info sal_vager. I gave up on the Steam client (downloaded directly from Steam) about a year ago. I didn't know about gDebi and perhaps that would work. I believe some improvement has arrived for multiarch over the past year also. I found at the time that while installing 32 bit dependencies allowed Steam to run it was also causing havoc with the pre-existing 64 bit counterpart libraries and such. As my KSP purchase was directly from Squad (since just before the Steam version release?) and as KSP is my one and only game, I have nothing to really motivate me to get Steam working correctly. If Steam do a proper 64 bit version I will try again. Until then I can check out what's new on Steam with a browser just fine. Let me say, I cannot express enough my thanks sal_vager for your continuing and excellent assistance for linux users over the last ~2 years that I have been playing KSP. Your advice here on gDebi may be invaluable to someone who really needs to get Steam working. Sorry, I think I digress from the OP's sound problem .

Interesting. Actually I cannot get the Steam client thing to run at all as it is incompatible 32 bit.

Very sorry to hear you are having sound troubles. Probably not very helpful to you but I have no problems with chatterer so I just checked my system. I run kubuntu (so KDE) but I am assured that Mint is excellent so I am not suggesting you change. Looking at what sound stuff I have installed I am shocked to find that I have all of pulseaudio, alsa and phonon-gstreamer-backend! However, that may be normal . With my limited understanding of how this mess all works together I am not sure what is being used by KSP but I think the phonon-gstreamer-backend is the channel that KSP has found to use. Phonon is something KDE (I think?) so for mint you might want to try whatever flavour of gstreamer suits your distro (so steve_v's advice seems good). Good luck!

Agreed, any news on this?

Wonderful!

Yes, that is the odd part precisely. I cannot extract substrate, minerals, water etc., from asteroids using the drills provided for each resource (which do work when landed on planets). The MKS related resources are being mined from asteroids using the stock drill. Maybe my game is broken somehow but if it is I like it this way. Actually, I would prefer just one drill part use-able for every resource everywhere. I dislike parts bloat in general.

No. I am using the included version from MKS Kolonization 30.2 (hmmm new release of that 12 hours ago )

CRP seems to be adding all sorts of resources to asteroids (and also to the surface scanner) but in practice I can only drill up stock ore. Is this working (as intended)? Edit, Never mind: I have just discovered that the stock drills are actually mining stuff besides just stock ore.

I am having this too. It seems to be happening with the delta wing. I did download your save file and tried it out in a fresh stock KSP 1.0.2 install. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to bring your spaceplane down close to KSC. (It's a perfectly fine spaceplane the problem is the pilot.) Investigating. I will post again if I find anything useful or reproducible.

It seems to be 99% ready for release to me. The best KSP life support mod I say. I love the way it is very simplified and minimal. The missing 1% is that besides the Nom-O-Matic 5000 I found a complete lack of container support for mulch so I added a small 100 mulch capacity to each of the life support containers for my own convenience. Maybe not the best way to do it as you probably shouldn't store your mulch and supplies in the same box! Maybe the mulch storage setup is intentional. Maybe it says Kerbals will dump mulch in a greenhouse if there is one available but otherwise it has to go overboard?

KSP 1.0.2 with lots of mods. This just happened to me so it appears to be still around. With all the mods rapidly being debugged and updated to KSP 1.0.2 I doubt this is reproducible. Sorry Squad but I expect my save files are useless for tracing down the root cause of this bug. Claw thanks. Your quick and dirty fix worked as advertised, quick and dirty and my ships are apart.

I was a long time FAR & DRE user up to and including beta. Just now I am playing through a career of the 1.02 release mostly stock. I want to know exactly what I have given up when I decide to up the challenge. I will probably give nuFAR a go when I feel it is time to inject fresh life into the game. Being able to fly through turns that should tear the wings off, being unable to stall and being able to perform extreme g fireball style reentry is like a holiday. Good for trying out the new KSP release but in the long run I know that some added difficulty and realism will be more satisfying and hence provide more sustained entertainment.

The train burst through 300 pages and went on another 10 pages before showing any sign of slowing. Why are there 5 times as many guests as members online?

The same causality violation is being observed here

This hype post rate. I am really impressed!

I tried, but I can't concentrate on account of all the HYPE

I don't know how you all cope with a 3.5GB cap! My start up hits around 6 GB. About 60 mods, fantastic render, full res, scatters enabled. Linux, of course. Mind, I still run active texture management and spend a lot of time sorting and removing unused parts. Every new release has exhibited less lag. It is definitely improving. I look forwards to even less or no memory leak/s at all and just imagine if Unity could use more than one core......

I already built something very similar to that with FAR. It might fly without modification. It's a lifting body.

I think you are referring to the mod key? Right-hand Shift key replaces Alt key in Linux. http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Controls

I suggest Kubuntu to start with because it has KDE/QT/Dolphin/Plasma (i.e. whatever you want to call it because all that is kind of saying the same thing) which gives you a (relatively) easy, intuitive desktop environment to transition to from Windows. I actually have a full & registered version of MSOffice installed into Wine because I need it to exchange documents exactly and accurately with the other people I work with. I can remote desktop connect to an alternate machine running Windows (in the rare emergency need for windows) but other than that I stay in linux full time. Standard advice is to set up a dual boot which is wise I guess but I found the availability of the reboot to Windows option actually made it more difficult to "kick the habit" Absolutely! I spent about 4 hours cleaning viruses and malware and bloatware off my wife's Windows laptop on the weekend. It is so so good to be free of all that in linux.

I agree. It is actually a KSP discussion. The KSP forum's Space Lounge is however just as good a place for it so; no matter.
