    Roadmaps are just all that much fluff until they actually appear in the game. I've seen enough of them that never materialize to not trust them at all.

    And don't forget Take Two have a rather famous dislike of mods. Lets be honest here: the big reason KSP1 was so popular and has such long legs is the same reason Skyrim is still kicking: the modding support and community is tremendous. If there is no modding for KSP2 I have a feeling a big part of the community will disappear. I know I wouldn't bother with it.

    I really really hope that you are exactly right. I have a feeling in a few years time we'll be comparing KSP2 to KSP1 unfavorably.
  4. captainradish
    And I sincerely hope you are right. I really want KSP2 to succeed. First impressions are important, though. It could sincerely mean a game that sputters and dies because the publisher wants to cut its losses and move on.

    It's in a state that most developers would be embarrassed to show to a paying audience. This makes me suspicious there is more going on then we are led to believe and Take Two's track record is not stellar. I don't trust them as a publisher to look at more than the bottom line when it comes to this game. It's already probably over budget and certainly well behind where it originally was going to be.

    Having the basic superstructure of your game in place. In the context of KSP2 to already have the promised colonization and interstellar travel in place just in a possibly primitive or incomplete state. What we have right now is a bit of a tech demo. Admittedly W&R is not the best example of EA (despite being an excellent game) as the devs keep rolling out new features (water, courts, garbage, etc) but the basic fundamentals of the game have remained unchanged since the first release.

    Early Access is supposed to be used when you have the entire skeleton of your game in place but want community input on the rest. That's what Workers and Resources Soviet Republic does, for example. It's supposed to be in an advanced Beta state. What we got was not that. At the same time don't forget that first impressions are important. What we got was a very bad first impression of a game that was *technically* functional but certainly not very feature complete.

    The title rather says it all. I've never really understood how to properly set the ascending and descending nodes and there doesn't appear to be any documentation in the wiki on how change longitude of ascending node actually works. Can somebody tell me? I have satellite contracts I would love to do but I don't understand how to change my nodes. Thanks!

    Keep up the good work! This is probably the best tech tree I've seen since the gold rush of tech tree changes back a few years ago.

    Found one more error (again with BDB). The Prometheus II second-stage rockets are getting put one tier higher than they should be (even due to what's printed in the mod manager cfg). The error *seems* to be in this line: //Titan III @PART[bluedog_LR87_11*|bluedog_LR91*|bluedog_UA*|bluedog_LR87_LH2*]:NEEDS[Bluedog_DB] { @TechRequired = heavyRocketry } This puts *all* the LR91 engines in Heavy Rocketry, even the two that are supposed to be in Advanced (bluedog_LR_91_3 and bluedog LR_91_5). I think the line should be corrected from bluedog_LR91* to bluedog_LR91_11*. At least that's what I did and it seemed to correct the issue.

    Out of curiosity, my Woomerang launch site seems to be underground. What did I do wrong?
  12. captainradish
    Just as an installation note: if you include 1.10 as a compatible version of KSP in CKAN it will install the proper version of Parallax. EDIT: on a side note, are there any MM files floating around so I can use Mechjeb's autoland with this? I just noticed the landing site cfg and really don't want to hunt through the files to find the coordinates of all the sites.
  13. captainradish
    bluedog_Able_Engine It is literally the first entry in the BDB.cfg. Naturally it took me forever to find it. Near as I can tell it's the only piece of the BDB Vanguard program to not be tier 1.
  14. captainradish
    Excellent tech tree so far apart from one issue: the "alpha" engine in Bluedog design bureau is a rather critical part of the Viklun rocket as there aren't any other available 0.625 motors available yet (tier 1). I made the changes in my own game, but I would suggest taking a look at that. EDIT: using Tetrix, btw.
  15. captainradish
    I'm unsure. I do know if I rotate everything 45 degrees there's no longer a problem...so I rotated everything 45 degrees.
  16. captainradish
    Just to be clear, I'm just making fun. I really love the N-1 IRL and your various versions of it just keep getting better! Just look at that little tiny Soviet superman scurrying about the base!
  17. captainradish
    I'm having an issue where the Soyuz launch clamps are twisted:
  18. captainradish
    I do realize that. Trouble being I don't know the original project names to begin with. EDIT: didn't see Friznit's post. That's exactly what I'm looking for! Great! I know I've said it in the past but..... .....did it explode on launch like it's supposed to??
  19. captainradish
    Oh, is there a glossary of part names anywhere? I'm getting a little overwhelmed by all the different names and want to figure out what real-life programs they are from. This is just for reference, btw. It's a little jarring when I start seeing real-life names in my parts lists. I like the way you do things.
  20. captainradish
    I can confirm this as well. I was about to ask if anybody had a solution for the broken fairings, but alas! I've seen no other issues. The fairings issue appears to be mod-wide as yours is not the only mod I'm having fairing-related issues with. Procedural Fairings is working as a substitute for the most part. Also, have you checked out Universal Storage II's Tantares parts? They are pretty awesome! Got a core specially built for Vostok with some sexy radiators.

    I've known about those issues for a while. The issue I was having was with the stock radial goo experiment. It works a lot better after having removed the animation mod. Honestly, the only reason it ended up on this thread was because I initially attributed the problem to Bureaucracy rather than ScienceAlert.
  22. captainradish
    Yep, I have the same issue here. It appears to also affect the non-Dmagic Dmagic science such as Probes Plus's magnetometer booms. EDIT: you can ignore me. I somehow skipped an entire page of the thread (that you already commented on this exact problem). :p
  23. captainradish
    OK, it is in my game too...after a little bit. It doesn't appear to reflect what science I picked up on, say, the previous launch. It's a little odd, but whatever. EDIT: OK, it appears to be some kind of odd issue with ScienceAlert and how it reacts with DMModuleScienceAnimateGeneric. Basically, if I set ScienceAlert fire certain sciences they don't animate correctly and even though the game says I have the experiment I actually do not. If I fire them manually they DO work. Weird. So basically, it doesn't appear to be an issue with Bureaucracy at all.
  24. captainradish
    Yea, the A-2 tanks and the A-3/5 tank are at 13000 each, which makes it impossible to use in early career, unfortunately. Also, I didn't have the launch rails spawn in my game, although it may be due to my mods. I'm unsure.
  25. captainradish
    BTW, this mod is an awesome successor to Monthly Budget. About the only thing I wish was included is a "science generator" like what MB had, although I never used it because it inexplicably decreased my reputation pretty dramatically. That being said, it's not a terribly big deal whatsoever as science is not hard to find. This mod DOES make my early career quite long as I have to wait for a fair bit of time for my science to unlock. Also, any science record keeping, such as [x] Science! or ScienceAlert has a bit of an issue if the science its looking for is still in the queue. I initially thought there was some kind of odd problem as it kept telling me I hadn't gotten a science project I was 100% sure I had. Not a problem for you to fix, of course, just an oddity you may want to make a note of.
