Been playing KSP for a few months now, and i was wondering how to transfer fuel multiple times. I don't know if im missing something, but after successfully transferring fuel between two tanks i cant transfer between them a second time. No, crossfeed has zero affect on it either. Im also playing on KSP 1.10, so no fuel transfer mods past KAS work either, and I'd prefer to not have too many non-stock parts.

Download on SpaceDock or Github or Curseforge. Also available on CKAN. Alternative Resource Panel (ARP) by TriggerTech An alternate view of vessel resources plugin for Kerbal Space Program Adopted by @zer0Kerbal, originally by @TriggerAu Do not bother @TriggerAu with anything concerning this. Documentation / Manual Documentation Manual Preamble by @TriggerAu: About Basically the Alternate Resource panel displays a view of resources in the current vessel with a bit more clarity. It also lets you see the remaining value in the currently active stage for fuels as you fly - which is useful for asparagus staging. It also has some Staging capabilities added so you can stage from map view and also have autostaging on ascent (tied it in because of the resources/last stage tie in) The KSP Alternate Resource Panel is a plugin to the Kerbal Space program game and was created to provide me an alternate view of the resources list and also add some staging functionality to the map view. Basically installing this gives you an extra button labelled "Alternate" next to the Resources button in the top right corner. When you hover over it it will keep the panel displayed while the mouse is over any part of the panel, or if you click it it will be toggled on. It displays a list of all the resources that are present on your vessel with a bar graph of the amount on vessel and the amount remaining. It also has the following additional capabilities: Displays stage amount/usage - so you can see how much fuel is left in your current stage, esp in an asparagus configuration - Now configure which side the stage is displayed on (*New in 2.4.1.0) Adjust the order and Grouping of the Resources so they display how you like - some can even be set to only show up when a threshold is passed - Now with Drag And Drop and Separator Inserts (*New in 2.3.0.0) Optionally displays the change rate (or instant consumption) values Optionally displays time till empty/full (*New in 2.2.0.0) Optionally hide a resource on empty (New in 2.1.0.0) or on Full (New in 2.2.0.0) Select Resources to see part windows and look at individual components Transfer Resources between parts - like the standard part windows (*New in 2.1.0.0) Add Alarms to get visual and Audio queues for what needs attention - even add your own sounds Maintains settings and visibility between vessel switches/restarts KAC style update checker added Movable and lockable panel Option of the KSP or Unity styles Ability to add icons by simply placing files in the right folder Ability for Modders to provide icons with their mod and have them display in KSPARP Ability to configure the order of preference for icon sets Ability to configure resources to hide on full/empty as well as cater to disabled flows for full vessel resources Ability to configure non-staging resources to show Active/Reserve values using the green/blue bars (*New in 2.2.2.0) Optional Staging facility with Ability to Activate Stages in Map View, and Ability to use Space Bar in Map view to activate stages - like in standard flight mode Autostaging Controller to activate stages on engine flameout (*New in 2.1.0.0) Now contains icons for resources from: Kethane, Deadly Reentry, Extra Planetary Launchpads, KSP Interstellar, Life Support By Bobcat, RealFues, Near Future, TAC Life Support API for information reading and alarm acknowledgement (*New in 2.1.0.0) Currently is Feature Complete Here's some vision of the ARP in use - updated for 2.1 Hopefully @TriggerAu has built this simple enough that the pic below explains all you need...

Hello everyone, is there a way to force a generator to only operate in space or put a resource in space that can be collected by a generator?

Can anyone reply with example source on how to write a resource consumer code ? I need it in form of custom code that will both consume a resource under specific conditions and manage loading/saving to/from persistence and vessel cfg (i already know how to handle load/save, i just mentioned it so it may be known in advance what my code needs to do). And if resource generation is also not so much different from consumption code, an example for that too would be appreciated.

I need sound files for my part / plugin - and i couldn't find links in this forum i had found before. Any help ? Specifically, i'm looking for sounds of hydraulics (i had some luck finding a few promising sources) and a heavy door slamming sounds (as clean as possible from any echoes, this is a tough one for me). Some sci-fi versions are also welcome. I need them for sound of hydraulics driving a large metallic gate or door (that has a single rumbling thump). Also, if anyone has info on sound creation - used software, education and similar - i'd be thankful.

I'm trying to get the ModuleResourceHarvester working for atmospheric CO2, but it doesn't show up on the part menu. Here's the cfg: PART { name = CO2Compressor module = Part author = Chirality mesh = compressor.mu scale = 1 rescaleFactor = 2.1 node_attach = 0.03, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1 TechRequired = precisionEngineering entryCost = 6400 cost = 20 category = Utility subcategory = 0 title = Surface Mount CO2 Compressor manufacturer = Chirality Technologies description = Filters CO2 out of the atmosphere and compresses it. Fuels CO2 thrusters! attachRules = 0,1,0,0,0 mass = 0.01 dragModelType = default maximum_drag = 0.2 minimum_drag = 0.2 angularDrag = 2 crashTolerance = 7 maxTemp = 2000 bulkheadProfiles = srf MODULE { name = ModuleResourceHarvester HarvestorType = 2 Efficiency = 0.15 ResourceName = CarbonDioxide ConverterName = CO2 Filtration StartActionName = Start Filtering CO2 StopActionName = StopFilteringCO2 AutoShutdown = true UseSpecialistBonus = false INPUT_RESOURCE { ResourceName = ElectricCharge Ratio = 10 } } MODULE { name = ModuleResourceConverter ConverterName = CO2 Compressor StartActionName = Start Compressor StopActionName = Stop Compressor AutoShutdown = true GeneratesHeat = false UseSpecialistBonus = false INPUT_RESOURCE { ResourceName = CarbonDioxide Ratio = 1.0 FlowMode = ALL_VESSEL } INPUT_RESOURCE { ResourceName = ElectricCharge Ratio = 20 } OUTPUT_RESOURCE { ResourceName = LqdCO2 Ratio = 0.1 DumpExcess = true FlowMode = ALL_VESSEL } } } The converter function works (or at least, it shows up). Any ideas?

Hey all. As of late I've been playing around a bit with module manager and just editing .cfg files, mostly as a way of familiarizing myself more with KSP's back-end, and partly because I do have some interest in maybe developing some kind of mods in the future, even if only for practice/personal use. Anyways, I spent the better part of my afternoon and evening today playing around with resource definitions and modules, and as a practice exercise I've been trying to make a simple set of .cfg files for a resource pack (Stuff like water ice, carbon, uranium ore, and processing these materials into other things with ISRU units). I get the gist of what I'm doing but there are a few things that I've yet to find answers to, and I'm looking for advice. Forgive me if my questions have been asked before. I did some googling, and found next to nothing, so I suspect this isn't a problem, but if so, please feel free to point me to the exisiting posts. 1) in the ResourcesGeneric.cfg file (GameData/Squad/Resources), what is hsp, and is it worth modifying for a new resource? 2) in the Ore.cfg file, I understand that I'm looking at the resource distribution parameters, but I don't know what Variance or Dispersal correspond to, also 3) is the PressenceChance parameter per planet? Per Biome? Per savefile? 4) still in Ore.cfg, what is ResourceType? I've yet to see an example of anything not equal to zero for that parameter... 5) It occurs to me that a few resource parts are configured by default to only work with the standard "Ore" resource, such as the Narrow Band Scanner, and the Drill Parts. Is there a simple way to make either of these function for all available resources, or must I add new modules to the .cfg for every mineable resource? 6) how do these changes apply to asteroids? do I have to use a MM patch to add mineral resource to a roid? Or are all of the other resource definition and distribution cfgs enough? I'm sure that I'm yet to encounter more questions on the topic of Resources, ISRUs, Drills, and scanners, so If you can think of anything else helpful for working on this kind of stuff, please, don't hesitate to fire your pointers my way! Happy Launching, happy Modding!

Hi I'm trying to modify some part, and I'm putting empty resource in the parts, like this RESOURCE { name = EnrichedUranium amount = 0 maxAmount = 50 } But now my part show up with negative price tag. It's like the cost of the part is inclusive the resources. Is that true? Or is it something else, like a bug or me doing something wrong?

Hello world SirLaurenceNZ here and I recently had an idea for an interesting concept (if you know of anyone who has previously brought up this idea up previously I'd love to know and knowledge them.) The idea placing your rockets from the VAB on the launchpad with empty fuel tanks, then using a vehicle with the appropriate mining equipment to refuel your rocket prior to launch. This can be done using a set of radial decoplers with fuel cross feed on and a docking port (which can be ejected before launch.) Alternative ideas that might be worth investigating in terms of refueling is having a helicopter type plane with jet engines and rcs for lateral translation. this would help you to refuel things from above if refueling if the angle on the launchpad is not an option. Below is an example which I had tested on the grass next to the runway and also on the launchpad (the launch pad is significantly more difficult.) Note, the three of those fuel tanks would refuel in approximately 7-8 days (ksp time) adding essentially a construction time for fueling your rocket. http://imgur.com/a/LjDQV (anyone know how to directly attach an image?) I'd just like to thank Marcus House for highlighting fuel costs in career mode in the most recent episode of his great LP (180k funds in fuel,) cheers. Marcus's channel here --> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBNHHEoiSF8pcLgqLKVugOw/videos (suggested improvements is using the claw instead of the docking port, cheers Marcus)

Hi All, I realise an accurate answer is impossible due to the vast variety of mods and other factors, but here it is: How much of an impact on RAM, CPU or other limiting resources does the average non-part/texture plugin take? If Im on 90-95% RAM usage, and have already made my peace with the fact that more parts will likely cause much more frequent crashes, is it worth contemplating mods like "CraftHistory", "Ship Manifest", "Persistant Rotation" etc.? Or should i just forget it until I can increase my RAM? I don't need to know the properties of those exact mods, just wondering in general, because there are one or two that have caught my eye, but I have just reached a point of stability with my build and dont want to rock the boat too much Thanks! Pete

I get my fuel from Minmus using a large ISRU lander. (photo below). I seems to take a lot longer than it did on some previous missions. In my latest fuel mission, I have 8 drills taking up 0.00525 units of ore/second. But after 30 days, I only get 1103 units of liquid fuel. (Using Lf only on the ISRU converter.) By my math, this is 1/5 of what I should have gotten?
