Mynar Moonshadow Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Venusgate']It may be my playstyle, but a trip to minmus and back takes dangerously close to 15 days. But a snacks for one for 15 days is way too little to use the 1.25 tank, or even an asymmetrical radial tank. Any chance of a wee tank, or procedural parts cfg?[/QUOTE] Use one or two life support mini paks? the 1.25 holds 500 and the mini paks hold 100 each.

Doing a "workaround" to solve your immediate issue is completely legit, but let's not take this too far and assume it will not get fixed pretty fast. ~M~ Edited November 17, 2015 by Mynar Moonshadow speeling optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kershu5 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 One more issue.. I resupplied a base that ran out of food, but the engineers within are still Tourists. ..I don't have to send them home to Kerbin first do I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johould Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Resupplying the base is supposed to be enough. This thing with tourists seems to be a bug in the latest release or in it's interactions with 1.0.5 (which started recording professions in the save file, instead of computing them from names).

Its apparently a known issue. Unfortunatly when this happened to me, (when the kerbals ran out of supplies and turned to tourists) they are permanatly changed to tourists. I've done some hacking to my save file to restore them back to "normal" again, but unless you know what they were prior and you're comfortable working in your save file by hand, your best bet is to wait until a fix is in place or don't let your kerbals run out of supplies.

You'll need to search in the persistant.sfs file for the kerbal's name, then switch the three tags I noted. They're in two separate areas within the file for each kerbal. Once you're done editing it, don't forget to load the game, then do a quick f5 to overwrite the previous quicksave file with the changes. Otherwise the next time you quickload you'll have to do it all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreadshaw Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've taken a few months off KSP but looking to get back into it now. Just before I stopped this thread had quite a bit going on about requiring kerbals to have extra crew capacity for longer missions. The OP doesn't mention anything about that now though. Is it still a WIP or was it scrapped or moved to one of Roverdude's other awesome mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonokort Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi there, I have a short question. Is it normal that Kerbals only start "starving" as soon as they are leaving Kerbin atmosphere? Because currently I'm having the issue that when Kerbals are in a Vessel at Kerbins Atmosphere (doesnt matter if flying or not) they will use any supplies on board, but as soon as these run out the timer stops at zero. They wont start "starving". The timer only starts running again/ they start starving if you reaches the upper atmosphere/space. I tried to stay a few days in Orbit and returned when they only had like one day left before they would have died. When I left space the timer resetted completely to zero and they had 15 left again. My Question(s) is (are): Is this some sort of intentional Feature? Did maybe I just do something wrong? Or is this simply something that still needs to be fixed? Thanks in advance for any help.

ExplorerKlatt Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 IIRC, kerbals do not use any supplies below 50km on kerbin. It is assumed that they can be resupplied on their own planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerbMav Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 They do not NEED the supplies, but they will happily stuff their faces if they are available - at least the last time I read/checked/... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowgan Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm really curious to see the fatigue thing (time outside of Kerbin) come into play. While I'll love to have a reason to cycle kerbals on stations and bases, I'm also concerned about missions whithout an easy return ticket, like an Eve trip. Can't wait to see how's R.Dude's gonna solve that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDog Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Not sure whether this is related to 1.0.5 itself, or just due to the latest USI-LS update... I am quite sure I always had the LifeSuport icon in the aplauncher in the space center scene (or at least in the tacking station), giving me an immediate overview of all vessels and their LS status. Now I only get the icon in the applauncher when flying a vessel, which is somewhat inconvenient. Was this an intended change? Any chance of bringing back the icon to the space center and/or tracking station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domfluff Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm really looking forward to the whole Home/Rest mechanics - that seems like it's a major missing piece right now, and gives meaning to part packs like Porkjet's inflatable hab modules, which otherwise are just crew cabins. I really like "Homesickness" as a term - it's descriptive and whimsical, in the same way that Mulch is, and more importantly it's meaning is strongly intuitive - you cure homesickness by going home. I'm not sure if "Rest" is equally intuitive though? Since this apparently resets on EVA, would something like "Boredom" be a little clearer? "Fatigue" would imply to me that *not* using the Kerbal would be the way to restore fatigue, but "Boredom" would imply that this Kerbal needs to get up and do something. (This is mostly assuming I've got a decent handle on how this is intended to work). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
