Waterfall 0.2.3 Fixed bad DDS format for some flare textures

SystemHeat 0.1.1. Bunch of major issues fixed here. Fixed issue with map vector camera not being reset when entering map view (messing up orbit lines) Fixed some issues with ModuleSystemHeatEngine contributing to loop max temperatures despite being off Fixed global thermal scaling being set to 0.025x what was intended, causing UI confusion Fixed some cases of NREs where parts were destroyed Tweaked behaviour of radiators to allow cooling when nominal temperatures are low but actual temperatures are high Thermal summary in toolbar window now turns orange when a value is bad Turned off PAW debug by default

Not at all.

Just give me some time to look into the solution please, it has been identified.

I know it's shocking that content creators have lives and don't just live to create free stuff. Thanks, yes I tried to add a lot of character to the engines are they are big and monstrous, they all have some kind of animation even if it's just a special plume.

I've identified a fix for the problem, I'd like to wrap it with fixes to other things discovered so I'll release it tomorrow.

Happy Halloween! (click image for part gallery ) Things to understand: There is no commonality with the old mod. Uninstall it completely first! The mod is in beta. Content is complete but I *know* it's buggy, please report things so I can fix them (don't just go off and post that it's buggy in the ksp subreddit) Chargeable engines: a lot of engines are chargeable - they need to store charge and release to start up. They will shut down if throttle is below a certain level. Fusion reactors: powerful reactors that need to charge up to activate. When activated they automatically scale to demand but need a constant background level of fuel use to run. Fusion engines: fusion reactors with engines. If the reactor is on and running, the engine can turn on and off with no chargeup time need. They usually generate power too. Pack radiators on almost everything Balance is nascent. SystemHeat is integrated and required. It is probably the buggiest part of the mod right now. In this release only the FFT parts and radiators are patched to work with SH; if you want more parts to use the system (NFE reactors, ISRUs, etc), go to the thread and download the full mod. SpaceDust drives harvesting. Check out the thread to learn more about how this works. All the plumes are driven by Waterfall.

SpaceDust 0.1.2 Fixed some every-frame-log-message I left in by accident

Waterfall 0.2.2 Even less log spam Some future stuff getting setup

Released Dynamic Battery Storage 2.1.10 Added French translation from vinix38 Fixed a missing exponent in the Solar Panel UI planner Some fixes for solar panel detection in old (pre 1.9) Kopernicus versions Added support for ModuleSpaceDustTelescope

CryoTanks 1.5.3 has been released: Updated DynamicBatteryStorage to 2.1.10 Updated CRP to 1.4.1 Fixed a bug with resource catchup

If you want to upload a patch that changes the state from disabled to available, sure I can't stop you. I can caution against it though, it will only cause both you and me trouble in the long run. If you want to take the models and upload them, that's a hard no, it is against the license.

It should be unique within a part, between parts doesn't matter. Yes this sounds good. I don't know if I've balanced the patches right yet, so be aware that might change. Uh yea good point, that is in the NFe patch but not this.

This seems like a huge chunk of work, excited to see it released!

Update 0.1.1 Added missing B9PartSwitch to distribution Added Science integration: in Science or Career mode, identifying or discovering a resource band will add science to your space program This is configured by a base value in SpaceDustSettings.cfg, which is scaled by the Hight Orbit scale of the body in question Configurable per-band by specifying discoveryScienceReward or identifyScienceReward in the band's configuration Fixed an issue where a part with ModuleSpaceDustTelescope would brick the game in a new and fun way

Barring anything critical coming up with the last releases of SystemHeat, SpaceDust and Waterfall, FFT betas will start on Friday.

The first version controlled release has been uploaded to GitHub. Important changes Some more fixes to loop simulation edge cases Ability to turn on/off individual loops in the UI Loop reporting information in the UI Bugfixes to compatibility patches Quick look at the UI reporting info:

Can you be more specific? Looking at the Kerbodyne S4-256 Fuel Tank (mid-size 5m tank from MH), it has a capacity of 25 600 units (in the standard LF/O ratio) at a dry mass of 16t (144t wet). This is comparable to the NR 25600 (mid-size 5m tank from NFLV), which has the same capacity (25600) and the same masses (16/144). I'm literally looking at it ingame now.

Thank you for the detailed bug report and reproduction steps, I will take a look at it as soon as I have time.

New releases: Waterfall 0.2.1 Log levels can now be specified in settings Lowered log levels by default (less logspam) Fixed a few ModuleManager errors Added more flare textures Added compiled shaders for Linux and OSX (somewhat experimental) WaterfallRestock 0.1.1 Fixed some MM errors for some plumes Fixed some template errors on load Added Swivel, Skipper plumes

Here's what I'd like: Mods that define new resources to harvest define their distributions here for the stock system (e.g. NFP wants argon, argon is defined here) Mods that add new planets hold their own distributions Mods that patch SpaceDust parts to harvest or detect resources do it there.

Yeah that's been answered I guess but yes - new mod, better models, better gameplay, etc. If you are interested in testing the replacement, I just released the alpha over here:

Yes, I believe so. Not very well tested mind you.

SpaceDust is pretty much finished, feel like testing? Go on over!

KSP 1.12.x Space Dust [0.5.5] Last Updated November 20, 2024 Space Dust is a framework for expanding the atmospheric and exospheric resource prospecting and harvesting experience in KSP. Currently the framework exists in stock but is a little lacking. Space Dust provides a number of resource distributions for stock planets, plus parts to discover and harvest them. Resource Bands Resources are distributed in Bands, which are areas of usable resource concentrations. Bands can be shells, rings, all those fun kind of things. Bands can be in atmospheres, parts of atmospheres (eg, upper or lower atmospheres), exospheres or both. Broadly, you prospect to find resource bands, and harvest things from them. Prospecting Bands typically start out undiscovered, with the exception of homeworld common resources. You'll have to Discover and then Identify bands around other planets to find out where the best resources are. Discovery is all about locating the resources. Use a scanner part or a telescope part to find a band around a celestial body. Scanners: Scanners are parts you place on a vessel like a probe, then fly to you destination. Different scanners operate differently, some may need you to fly into the resource band, others can detect things from a distance. Make sure to consult the Part Info window to see how a scanner works . Telescopes: Telescopes function at a distance. Target Celestial Bodies you are interested in and start surveys - eventually, depending on distance and the target, you will start discovering things - as long as they aren't too far away or too difficult to find. There is no substitute for actually sending a probe in! Identification is about refining knowledge. Use your scanner parts to further look at Discovered resource bands to Identify them and reveal information on their concentrations and precise extents. Most scanner parts can also Identify resources but generally need the part to be closer to the band. Harvesting Use dedicated Space Dust harvester parts to collect resources. Two harvesters are provided for long-term processing operations in atmospheres using stock resources. Other mods can easily build atmosphere scoops and more interesting processing options. Framework Although this mod is useable by itself , it does provide a framework for modders to use to : Add more resource distributions for other planets Add more resource distributions for resources Add harvester and scanner parts I've started documentation efforts, they can be found on the wiki and cover how to add distributions, how to configure harvesters and the like.
