That's... disturbing.

If you are so concerned that someone will steal your idea, has it occurred to you that others may be concerned that you will waste their time? Time is money, and every bit as valuable as ideas. My problem with this, and other threads the same, is that you are acting like you are sitting on a gold mine, and expecting others to simply take your word for it. I'm not overly inclined to believe you... Especially as this is not the first gold mine you have claimed to have found. Real game development starts with raising capital, so as to hire coders. Not expecting people to work for free on blind faith. If you want free help, have something to show. Do some of it yourself, then say "Here's what I have, you can see it's a good idea, help me make it better".

Ick.

Those two comments would be enough for me: Zero interest. So you're asking for hackers to help you, and in the same breath saying that these skills are common (and by extension worth little). That's nice. As game designers are so common, I guess you can just say "I has Idea", and wait for all those bored souls to flock to you... or not. How inclined someone is to look for work depends on what it's paying. If you want someone to work for you for free I'd suggest that you ask, and be nice about it. The more detail you can provide, and the more work you have to show, the more likely you are to find volunteers. For myself "I have an idea, but I won't tell you what it is, because it's worth more than your time" catches no fish at all. The déjà vu is strong with this one.

Pretty sure that's not a thing. Via CKAN, by chance?

The main CKAN binary is a .exe file, that 'ckan.app' is just a helper to make launching it on a Mac easier (no need to start it from a terminal). You need both files in the same directory to use it, don't launch it with mono, just run it like a native app. Alternatively, running CKAN directly (without the .app) on MacOSX should be the same as any other UNIX derivative: Open a terminal in the directory containing ckan.exe and 'mono ./ckan.exe' No, it is mono [options] <binary>. The confusion here is 'ckan.app'. Don't try to run it with mono, in fact I would suggest ignoring it entirely until ckan.exe is verified working properly. A secondary source of confusion is this business of "dragging" things into the terminal, which makes it impossible to divine what the actual command line being used is.

Yeah, this ^. Not only getting troubleshooting information, this happens every time I try to do something on Windows that's even slightly outside the standard use-case. I get either a deafening silence, "go buy this (expensive) app" or "You need Windows professional/server for that". Example: Detect when a specific removable drive is plugged in, run a script, eject the drive, spawn a popup. That's about 5 minutes and 2 lines of bash on a GNU/Linux box. Do you think I could get any info on how to do this in Windows... Not a word. How about backing up a machine to a network share? Nope, need Windows pro for that, and even then it can't do incremental backups of the whole machine. Give me rsync any day. Then, to annoy me more, MS removed windows backup entirely. RAID6? Get windows server. The list goes on...

It's comparable to e.g. GNOME3 or Unity as far as resources go (okay, maybe a little bit more RAM), and you don't have to install all of it. I'll take the memory usage as fair tax for the features. I switched to KDE(1) when Gnome (1.5?) tossed midnight commander for that awfully slow Nautilus thing... Haven't seen a reason to change since, though on machines with limited memory XFCE(and some bits from LXDE) is my desktop of choice.

Well, it doesn't cause any serious problems I guess. But it does undo Squads hiding of pointless resources in the resource UI, add a second confusing set of buttons to every intake, and unbalance my finely tuned VTOLs...

Which is why I use KDE. Trying to operate the UI in any windows feels like driving with one arm tied behind my back. The Windows 10 UI is to Windows 7 what KDE is to Windows 10. Next to a properly configurable UI Windows 10 is a toy. KDE (or compiz) had window snapping and proper multi-monitor support (among many others) long before Windows. And why on earth would I want to shake my PC? My monitor is in perfect focus already. Indeed, trying to bolt some protection for application binaries onto a nonsense filesystem layout is always going to go well...

As an extra-off-topic note, this is pretty dumb. All files should be r/w, but only executable files should have the executable bit set. Why?

Err, you're not actually serious about that, right? That thing is rear-end-ugly IMO. Good thing they backpedaled on the whole "tiles" madness... but it's still worse than 7 by far. I loathe this "material design" fad almost as much as the "let's chuck buttons at the screen and see where they stick" fiasco that MS Office turned into. FYI, I use my PC(s) (and laptop) for more than just KSP too: CAD, CAM, image editing, audio editing, office stuff when I can't avoid it, and movies, music, games or tinkering in C when I can. I don't have a single Windows install - and I don't find I'm missing anything. Lucky you, I certainly have. Admittedly the most common one is that spinny cursor thing, and it usually goes like this: What's it doing? Come on, a clue? Is it doing anything? Wait, what? I can't do anything else! Why can't I do 5 things at once? This sucks. *watches HDD light intently*, *starts reaching for power button*... But I've hit weird file permissions issues like this too. And I tend to take the nuclear option... Sarcastic remarks aside (and closer to on-topic), sure, one could run Exploder (cue '95C flashback) as admin. I'd prefer to just sudo chown -R steve.users ~/Games/KSP And if it happend that I ran into this on a Windows box, because 'Program Files' has special permissions or Windows thinks something has the file open... I'd boot a GNU/Linux livecd and delete the offending files. Because rm -rf doesn't argue with me. Strangely enough, that's why I suggested it.

@SuicidalInsanity: Why are you adding IntakeAtm to all parts that have ModuleResourceIntake & IntakeAir? This affects every part in the game that has those, not just your own...

Annoys me too, TBH. But this box is getting oldish now, and it does still perform pretty well, so I can't really complain.

LGA2011v1, if I were to split hairs, and the fastest CPU for that socket. There's a little bit of gambling involved, but my experience has been all good. 'tis where I got my 4960X after all.

If it were me, I would be getting pretty pretty angry about now... I hate "I can't let you do that Dave". If it were me, I'd boot a GNU/Linux LiveCD and delete the files from there. I'd probably delete Windows too... but you seem attached to it. A liveCD would do the trick though, and I'd not install to "Program Files" again...

Much better, thanks.

Ahh, that's more like it. Your patch is just like the one I've just been playing with... I rolled my own (@deployHeight = 700), but it didn't appear to have any effect (ModuleManager.ConfigCache says my patch is taking though). Hitting "Fully Deploy" in the kerbals context menu at ~700m works just nicely. I have now installed the beta(2)... and I'm seeing the same. Full deployment at 200m. Aside: It appears that chutes open all on their own now, contrary to the "Jump+Use" instructions in the OP? I'm mashing Space+f anyway...

Still deploying at ~200m for me, and crashing into terrain with a nice cloud of dust. It's survivable into water though. Sometimes they don't fully deploy at all... Then again, I don't see the MM patch you mentioned in the archive...

Correct. If you're willing to be a guinea pig, can make useful bug reports (and put them on github), and promise not to clutter up the FAR (or any other) thread with bugs or whining... grab (or compile) the dev build and try it out. If you can fix bugs, even better. Again, this goes on github. The usual warnings apply - it's a development snapshot, it's liable to contain bugs, and behavior may change without warning. I wouldn't recommend running it in a serious career save. In case it's not obvious from my somewhat guarded reply, Ferram has made it pretty clear that he doesn't want hordes of non-technical players running the dev build. Please don't link to it or provide easy install instructions.

Logs & crash report?

Well, the elephant in the room (AFAIAC) is type 2 diabetes. You can't blame sugar for every "western disease", but this one appears to be primarily a malfunction in the mechanisms controlling sugar metabolism... I'd be pretty surprised if dietary sugar intake had nothing to do with it. The real problem is a lack of long-term studies, there's just no control group available since sugar is everywhere, and conducting such a study would take an inordinately long time - symptoms typically take decades to appear. At this point the vast majority of the information available is just speculation, or small studies of dubious quality (often with serious conflict of interest issues). Without good quality data... Who knows? It sure can. Potassium balance is critical to nerve function - and ergo heart function. That they do. Same goes for curry

Indeed it does, but considering the addictive properties of sugar itself, caffeine is a minor detail. Coca-Cola started out containing cocaine, but I'm pretty sure removing it didn't dent sales in a big way. And there are plenty of sodas that have no caffeine at all. People still consume it in ridiculous quantities. For my caffeine hit, I drink coffee. Usually without sugar.

It's probably a mite more complicated than that, a 'direct link' is extremely difficult to support as there are no long-term properly controlled studies to draw from. Sugar consumption has increased, as has the prevalence of certain 'first world' diseases, that the same is seen in populations recently exposed to 'western' diets is compelling, but still circumstantial. Then there's the little detail that not all sugars are metabolized in the same way... Why do we need this 'super beverage'? You should be getting nutrients and fiber from your food, like pretty much all other life on the planet.
