1.0 Resources and Tech Tree Management

[jandcando]

I have noticed that in the new resource definitions, there is a value called "hsp." My only guess as to what it does is that it has something to do with the heat capacity of the part that contains it. If someone knows what it does, please correct me.

Also, I was looking at Ore.cfg in the Squad Resources folder, and I was wondering if there are other places to define resources. In the config, global definitions, planetary definitions, and biome definitions were made. Is there a way to do atmospheric ones?

And about the tech tree- I have heard that I can use ModuleManager to add new nodes to the tree, kind of like what techManager used to do. If this is right, how do I go about doing it?

Specific Heat Capacity

and it's hsp, not shp. I don't know why.

[NathanKell]

Same reason specific impulse is isp, I'd wager.

[simon56modder]

I don't know if it's the reason but maybe it's Isp not Spi because in French 'specific impulse' is 'impulsion spécifique'

[NathanKell]

I'm pretty sure it's Isp (and Hsp) because the thing is impulse (or heat), and the modification is 'specific'. Presumably total impulse would be I_tot or something.

But "hsp" means nothing in french

Hydre Suprêmement Poisseuse?

I think NathanKell has the best explanation.

[Slother]

NathanKell is correct. In physics the "sp" would be a subscript like I_sp and H_sp, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse#Rocketry
