Two quick updates, while I'm busy being sleep-deprived by testing SSPXr. NF Solar 0.8.10 Fixed .version file issue NF Construction 1.0.1 Fixed localization issue with SM-1 Stack Adapter Fixed hex-truss lithium tank model offset Fixed a missing normal map Fixed top attach node position for long cubic-family strut

SSPXr 1.0.4 Fixed missing docking transform on new docking port For future reference... when I say I'm on an issue like this (twice!), I am very much going to try to get to it as soon as I can. I'll ask for more information as I need it - I just have a full time job and an infant to take care of first. Telling me it's an issue repeatedly isn't going to help.

No sense speculating. I'll check it out when I have time. There are probably 12 hours before I have that, sorry.

Well, from the message, plus the log, it doesn't look like you have installed the resource definition for the MetalOre resource that EPL depends on. Might want to look into that.

I'll look into it as soon as I can.

You should post that in the scatterer thread. I'm not sure how anything I would do here would break scatterer and @blackrack would have to let me know what may be wrong.

He notified me that he was waiting for the official release of a stock German localization, then he would go over and revise them. He hasn't responded to my pings on GitHub though so I've left them alone. If you want to pick them up, that's probably fine.

Yeerk I know about those. Thought I'd fixed them, will see when I can get to fix them. Unfortunately though, I don't speak Russian or Spanish. Looks like I made a mistake there.

That would be exceptionally volume-incorrect.

Andfinally. SSPXr 1.0.3 KSP 1.4.2 Updated ModuleManger to 3.0.6 Updated B9PartSwitch to 2.2.1 Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1 Updated NFProps to 0.3.2 Added replacement model for Clamp-o-tron docking port 2 alternate versions available Disabled drag cube recalculation for cargo containers (fixes inflight switching explosion) Fixed KerbalHealth patch applying all the time Fish study and plant growth experiments now no longer differentiate between biomes

0.3.2 has been released, to slow claps from the peanut gallery.

I can't stress how important 3.3.1 was for me. It's an important milestone in the development of CTT, similar to how Making History was a huge milestone for KSP. Nothing will ever be the same again. KSP 1.4.2 Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1

Heating Controller 0.4.5: 'Kinda Warm Edition' KSP 1.4.2 Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1 Updated ModuleManager to 3.0.6

Ok much work was done, bugs, yadda yadda. Note that NF Construction and NF Propulsion went to 1.0.0. That for me means no more content additions, they are feature complete. NF Propulsion 1.0.0: 'Experiencing a significant witty name shortfall' KSP 1.4.2 Recompiled plugin Updated ModuleManager to 3.0.6 Updated B9PartSwitch to 2.2.1 Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1 Updated CRP to 0.10.0 Removed xenon tank capacity patch as it is no longer needed Added more lithium tanks 0.625m set in 3 lengths New small 1.25m tank Radial in 1.25mish and 0.625mish sizes Revised textures of all other lithium tanks Rearranged Lithium tanks in CTT mode HeFT RCS thrusters have unique models/textures Added specular maps to electric RCS blocks that were lacking them Adjusted unlock cost of most electric fuel tanks Changed a number of model references to absolute NF Electrical 0.10.0 :'I almost marked this as done but there's one more thing' Updated B9PartSwitch to 2.1.1 Updated ModuleManager to 3.0.6 Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1 Updated CRP to 0.10.0 Added Portugese localization (GabrielGABFonesca) Fixes to Russian localization Add reactor nicknames to part search tags (kerbas_ad_astra) Capacitors can be manually discharged on EVA Changed fuel transfer behaviour to ignore the temperature requirement unless the part has a Core Fixed fuel transfer under other localizations again, maybe Misc fixes to thermal behaviour of reactors Improvements to KA/NFE patch Engine reactors don't suck up radiator power NF Solar 0.8.9: 'A critical update' KSP 1.4.2 rebuild Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1 Fixed sun distance being hardcoded (jsolson) NF Construction 1.0.0: 'I finally finished the damn truss tanks' KSP 1.4.2 Final content update Updated MM to 3.0.6 Updated B9PartSwitch to 2.2.1 Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1 Reworked crewed octo-trusses to match SSPXr art Converted all parts with lights to use config-based animations Revised textures of LH2/LH2O octo-truss variants to match up with CryoTanks update Revised textures of Lithium octo-truss variants to match up with NFP update Revisions to specular/normal maps of octo-trusses New/modified parts: Replaced Cubic Octagonal Strut with new model, renamed to Cubic-Family Strut Replaced Not-Rockomax Micronode and Octagonal Strut with new models Added Cubic-Family struts in 3 sizes, can switch between cubic, triangular and planar Added adapter from Cubic/Triangular to 0.625m stack Added LFO, LF, Ox, Xenon, Mono/Ec, Ore storage to the two larger Hexa-Trusses Added LH2, LH2O, Lithium, Argon storage to the two larger Hexa-Trusses if CRP is installed Added SM-1 Stack Adapter (1.25 to 0.625m adapter) Added Grip-O-Tron Linear Docking Connector Added Grip-O-Tron XL Linear Docking Connector Corrected configuration of boiloff modules when CryoTanks is installed NF Spacecraft 0.7.8: 'Even if you don't use KerbalHealth you'll love this patch' KSP 1.4.2 Updated B9PartSwitch to 2.2.1 Updated NF Props to 0.3.2 Fixed KerbalHealth patch NF Launch Vehicles 1.1.5: 'Who wants a 5m fairing base whose scale isn't screwed up anyways?' KSP 1.4.2 Updated B9PartSwitch to 2.2.1 Updated MM to 3.0.6 Updated MiniAVC to 1.2.0.1 Updated fairing textures to work with new fairing unwrap

No. I spent probably 30 hours developing this style, evaluating it, and porting it to everything. I don't think that the USI container is a good model of what I'm going for. These are. I'm not going to change this much if at all. Here's why: Item TWR Isp LV-N (LF) 2.0387 800 LV-N (LH2) 2.7183 900 Neptune 2.9695 950 Poseidon 3.0096 925 Liberator 7.5989 1625 They're already better in every way than the stock LV-N. For more thrust, you *should* use thrust augmentation. I'll look into that. I don't have this, do you have B9PS 2.2.1? This was fixed for 1.4.2 quite recently.

The IVAs for a 5m part would be hideously time consuming so at the moment, no. What would it look like, even? I haven't really considered commissions before as a work driver, so I guess it would depend on whether a commissioned part fit nicely into my plans for the mod(s). And whether you could deal with the low production rate of quality parts these days...

If you mouse over the Kerbal portraits on a crewed ship, you'll see a small round button appear to the left of the portraits. That's IVA overlay mode, click it to reveal IVAs.

A test version of CryoTanks with most of the planned balance changes can be downloaded by pulling my dev branch. I'd appreciate input, it's pretty messy and needs cleanup but the basics should be there. Mainly: 7.5 units of LH2 per volume unit (instead of 5) Mixed tanks made consistent Dry masses cleaned up

Ok, looks like I'll try to get the ones I have done out on Monday.

I did address this in dev already, should be good. I'm almost ready to re-release this again

Thank you. Progress notes: 1.4.2 Update Status Breakdown NF Propulsion Finished the lithium tank redos. Update soon. NF Electrical Seems mostly good now, update soon. NF Solar Testing a few things, but soon. NF Construction Revisions moving towards done for revised parts. New parts are about halfway there, slow going Needs to match whatever rebalance happens for CryoTanks, so depends on that. NF Spacecraft Almost ready. Also needs NF Props update, not a huge problem. NF Launch Vehicles Stock fairings are stupid and buggy now. Needs work to finish, not sure when I'll have time. I can release the updated mods this weekend/early next week, or I can wait to finish NF Construction. Opinions?

Well, let's just try 150% density on it and see what happens. No need to be so snarky

It seems like there's little disagreement that something here needs to change. Now, I'm not aware of a huge number of mods that specifically depends on CryoEngines for balance and function. Typically my patches will handle all tank mods unless the mods specifically implement their own version. If you all know any mod authors that might be affected by a ratio change please direct them here to discuss. I have heard that SSTU and @Shadowmage follows the same numbers at least so I'd appreciate input on how unpleasant this would be. If USI also uses these ratios, maybe @RoverDude could chime in? For reference: A proposed combustion ratio change to 10 LH2 : 1 OX (closer to reality based on mass flows) instead of 15:1 A proposed tankage change to match this A modification of tankage values to normalize volume utilization across the board (currently too low for LH2/Ox mixture) A set of changes to cooling costs to make all this nicer Remember, with cases like this we can only improve by being willing to break things. Of course, MH introduced an abysmally balanced J2 and SPS pair, with 400+ Isp on the latter, which probably screws CE balance no matter what. I'm just going to ignore that data point... Some specific answers: I will have a look when I do this. It might solve itself naturally with the changes, but there is an intent that a given cryogenic engine has less TWR than the equivalent LF/OX engine. Might be a bug. Might be worth a look. Typically I mass-patch tanks, unless a mod distributes engines or specifically coded LH2 tanks, adjustment would be automatic. It would not be fun for ships in flight, but since I'm winding down my KSp modding activities, this is probably the last time this will happen.

Yeah that's a bug for sure. I'll have to investigate that one.

I only wrote blurbs for planet/orbit level biomes.
