All tourists suddenly want to go to Pol

[oglommi]

I-ve playing ksp, building up a nice infrastructure of refueling and minings ship to refuel SSTO's full of tourist travelling to the mun and minimus.

Now suddenly i got loads of tourists wanting to go to Pol. How do i reset this Pol thing as i haven't been anywhere near jool or pol and it is ruining my game?

It was a bug with .. .literally 'Pol' and 'Pole'. You've done a polar orbit mission and now the game thinks you've been to Pol. Once your campaign is messed up I'm not sure you can ... switch it off..

[oglommi]

The has to be somewhere in the savegame .cfg file you can fix it

[LostOblivion]

Or, you've gone to the Flag Pole...

[rhadamant]

Or, you've gone to the Flag Pole...

Yup, anything with Pole in it..

In your persistence file there is a section (Scenario) called ProgressTracking.

(Remember to backup your savefiles first!)

There should be a section with Pol in there, delete the whole section of Pol (watch out for mismatching brackets)

It should look something like this:

Kerbin
                        {
                                reached = 356.659999999966
                                Flyby
                                {
                                        completed = 35250.0804967258
                                }
                                Orbit
                                {
                                        completed = 1419.07664550682
                                        vessel
                                        {
                                                name = Test Rocket 4
                                                flag = Squad/Flags/sora-yuki
                                        }
                                        crew
                                        {
                                                crews = Valentina Kerman
                                        }
                                }
                       }

But with Pol instead of Kerbin.

Pretty sure that was addressed with either 1.0.1 or .2. You may want to do a clean install of your version, OP.

If you would like to keep your saves,

1. Refuse every Pol contract so they are off the board, then exit the game.

2. Make a backup of your save.

3. Delete the game.

4. Download .2 and save that in your usual spot.

5. Place your saves into its handy little slot in the game directory.

That might just do the trick.

The savegame is from 1.0 but I play 1.0.2.842 the Pol thing showed up just now, a couple of hours ago.

I've got lots of mods and cheat with money and sci so the problem could be anywhere

No it wont, the persistence file keeps the data about Pol, so you'll still have the problem. You need to remove it from your persistence file and then you can reject all inbound contracts from Pol, that should get you more appropiate contracts.

Sounds to me, like Pol has just become the latest trend in your Kerbal society. Maybe an astronomer published an article about it in Kerbin science monthly. Maybe a wealthy, crafty kerbal has a lot of relatives they'd like to be rid of for a while, and put an ad about Pol in their favorite newspaper.

If you've got the stuff, you could always just oblige them, you know, you don't have to visit the planets in any set order.

But, it's your game. If you've got plans, and don't want to go to Pol, you don't have to.

                                }
                                Orbit
                                {

                                        }
                                        crew
                                        {
                                                crews = Valentina Kerman
                                        }
                                }
                       }

But with Pol instead of Kerbin.

That seemed to do the trick. Thank you very much.

Anyone know how to remove the "suborbital flight on the sun" requierment on the tourists travel itinerary? Lol, that's just sloppy by Squad.

Not sloppy at all. Maybe they have something they really REALLY want to get rid of, so they want you to get on a Sun-intercepting trajectory so when they toss it out the capsule, they can know it's GONE.

As far as removing a single requirement, no. I don't. You could look into the Rejector mod. Its "reject by string" was pretty powerful and in .90 it allowed me to disable surveys on Kerbin and Mun while allowing them elsewhere. Similar should be doable for this one.

This isn't a bug.

Sunshipping is by far the most primitive of all Kerbal religions' date=' and has had its membership drastically reduced with the advent of space flight. The Sunshippers believe that the sun is the source of all life on Kerbin, and that their ultimate goal should be to get closer to the sun. Sunshippers are thus very keen to offer up their services as test pilots for Kerbal Space Program missions involving launches into the sun.[/quote']

It's culture!

(I'm still convinced the Pol thing was a passing fad.)

I just hope the tourists don't have allergies...
