I have never played with those, but now I want to Do you have a source for these? Sparkfun does not carry them anymore, and the only other source I could find was in the EU.

Great! I'll post here when I get it working.

Here is a great video on understanding outputs on shift registers: And another one for inputs using shift registers.

Any issues with me hacking up your code to make a Netduino version?

Does the EVA button on his picture work?

I'm sad that this never got finished =(

Part duplications usually have to do with an improper install. There are twice as many files as there should be. Try deleting the mod and reinstalling it.

What is the black/yellow part in the background of your pic?

I tried the KAS strut. It was like attaching a rubber band. It did basically nothing. I don't want to go the explosive strut route, because this vehicle is totally reusable. It lands, unfolds the pad, builds a base, and then takes off to build another base.

I made a craft using Extraplanetary Launchpads that deploys a larger pad using some hinges on an arm. I can't seem to figure out how to secure the arm/payload while we are in transit. any ideas? I made a video so you can see what my craft looks like

I really like BahamutoD's drills, but I wish there was a smaller version. even the little ones are pretty massive.

Heating via induction! nice. I approve!

That part looks great! but... what is it? It says strong magnetic field on the side, so I would guess that it is an antimatter container, but that feels wrong because this is the EL thread.

seems to me like it just gives more incentive to edit your save file to change their stats...

It is still doing it for me Things I have tried: 1. Removing all KAS parts from the launchpad before spawn (sometimes they cause weird movement issues when spawning) (exploded) 2. Flying the launch pad up when spawning (this worked, but is really impractical with anything but tiny stuff) 3. Undocking all the other parts of the station (on surface of ike) (exploded) 4. Adding an extra part to be the root (structural girder) so that we don't care when it explodes. the rest of the craft is intact, but fixed in space in its location until reload when it is suddenly in orbit with NaN velocity... 5. Different orientations of the part I am spawning as well as several other parts. (exploded) 6. Adjusted the physics slider in settings to both ends. (both exploded) 7. Removing Kerbal Joint Reinforcement (exploded) 8. Completely recreating the part that I was trying to build in the VAB instead of the SPH. (exploded) Also, I noticed that whenever it loads my game in, all of the things on the surface of Ike are momentarily 10m above the surface, and then moved down quickly. At this point I am basically stuck with this save game until I can figure it out...

It is totally possible. There is a part called orbital construction dock. Does exactly that. I would recommend converting the ore -> metal -> rocket parts before shipping though.

It just keeps getting weirder and weirder. I made a big launch pad and unfolded it on the surface of ike. I spawned some parts on it, and its root part exploded. That has to be key here. Every time something has exploded it was a root part.

Odd... I flew the pad up in the air 2 meters or so, spawned it, and a different part on my ship exploded. That part(lander can) was exactly in the same physical space that the pad would have spawned the pylon in. I reloaded and tried again, this time flying 20 meters in the air, and it spawned fine. Its like there is a spot 10 or so meters off the ground that explodes when I spawn stuff in it...

I have a launch pad on Ike, and every time I build something. it explodes. The part that I am building is a ground pylon that has a few pipe endpoints on it (from KAS). The log says "Ground Pylon collided with Ike". Any ideas?

+1 for this. something similar to how TAC Life Support calculates the timespan from the last time the vessel was loaded, and then updates its resources accordingly.

I really like the look of these smelters compared to the hexagonal block that the other ones are, but with the super slow speed on these they are all but useless. Also, you have to lug a reactor around with it to power the thing.

How come the scanner can't remember(or recalculate) its traversed path since last load, and then retroactively scan all of the appropriate hexes? TAC Life support consumes resources since last load each time you load a vessel. The math on this is a little more complex, but it does not seem like an insurmountable problem.

Sounds good to me! It makes a lot more sense than dragging a regular smelter to Minmus.

Those look great, and, to be fair, a Sabatier reactor is little more than a hot metal tube ;p

I was referring the the Algae Food Processor part pictured above. It is not part of the download on the first page.
