I am setting up a system to make methane with ISRU. As I understand it, making methane on mars needs CO2 + water. The CRP includes a LqdMethane resource, CO2 resource, LqdCO2, and water. The CO2 resource has extremely low density, but has pre-configured resource distributions. My intended resource chain is: gathered CO2 -> LqdCO2, LqdCO2 + Water -> Methane. The question is, what should be the ratio of CO2 to LqdCO2 & LqdCO2 + Water to Methane. Anyone have some ideas? Ideally based off of the density values in CRP & real life science, but approximations are fine. I'm also adding custom tankage, so I need some help: If a tank holds 3750 methane, how much of the other resources should the same tank hold?

Hello, I'm looking for someone to help me make patch to stock surface scanner ( I want to make it able to show abundance of ModularKolonizationSystem resources on asteroids ) In spoiler down there you can see my try to make it but it is not working.

Hello everyone! Because I'm new to mod making (this is my first mod), I thought I'd try starting out with a relatively simple mod. I use a lot of mods, a few of which require Community Resource Pack as a dependency. Thus, whenever I scan a body for resources, I end up with a fairly large list of things, from Water to CarbonDioxide. However, I never end up using most of these resources, and as most mods only add converter modules for a few of them, the vast majority end up ignored. Many of these resources could be integrated fairly well with Stock mechanics without necessitating new parts or complex processing chains. Thus, this mod attempts to create uses for several resources added by CRP. This is essentially a collection of patches designed to allow stock parts to harvest and convert the resources added by CRP. It will be fully modular, so you don't end up with redundant converters or harvesters for resources you don't want, and it will only use Stock parts (primarily because I have no idea how to texture or model things, but keep that a secret). The stock drills are used for crustal resources, the atmospheric fluid spectro-variometer is used for atmospheric resources, and I plan on using the radial air intake for oceanic resources. For simplicity, resources such as LiquidFuel and Oxidizer are generalized, and are not intended to be fully accurate. In addition, the conversion factors for most of these patches are undoubtedly wrong, partially due to a desire for simplicity and partially because I can't be bothered. If you have a suggestion for a more realistic conversion factor, feel free to tell me! If I ever get into RO, I might consider adding patches for realistic ISRU, but for now I consider this to be a short-ish term project designed to practice my glorious and expansive config-editing skills. This might change depending on community reaction, but don't expect too much for now. In addition to this, I plan on including simplified conversion patches for those who don't want to bother carrying tanks for ~5 separate resources; an early example of this is substituting H2 for Ore (electrolyzed water ice) in the Simple Sabitier conversion. Downloads Installation 1. Download the mod 2. Install CRP and ModuleManager, either from the bundled download or from a separate source 3. Select the modules you wish to install. Do not install both the normal and simplified versions at once, as this may lead to issues Planned Features Green: Implemented Yellow: In progress Red: On hold Conversions -Sabitier | LqdHydrogen + CarbonDioxide = LiquidFuel + Water -Water Electrolysis | Water = LqdHydrogen + Oxidizer -Simple Water Electrolysis | Water = LiquidFuel + Oxidizer -Water Extraction | Hydrates = Water -Simple Water Extraction | Ore = Water -SolidFuel Refining | Alumina = SolidFuel (If I can find a way to allow SolidFuel to be moved) -Various processes involving MetalOre, RocketParts, MaterialKits, etc. Currently on hold due to the fact that mods that use these resources tend to include their own converters Harvesters -CO2 Extraction -Water Mining -Hydrates Mining -Argon Extraction -Xenon Extraction -Oxygen Extraction -Liquid Water Extraction -Oceanic Fuel Extraction (intended for Eve) -Hydrogen Extraction (Depending on availability in stock atmospheres) -Alumina Mining (See SolidFuel Refining) Other -Add part switching to the stock ore tanks to add capacity for every relevant CRP resource -More realistic resource ratios -Using ModuleManager to add these conversions to ISRU parts from other mods -Interplanetary resources, for use with Bussard collectors and such. This would probably require a new part for the collector, so I'm holding off on it for now -RealFuels integration, depending on feedback -Custom atmospheric and oceanic extractors if someone wants to help with that Changelog Licensed as Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Feedback and suggestions are appreciated!

Hello, I can't scan resources on asteroids with surface scanner module, What can be the reason ?
