Sorry, so what is it about it that doesn't work? Is it that you're getting asked to do it on land and the experiment can only be done in water?

Took a quick look, but don't have time to dig deep, so couldn't find what I need in the Otter's download files. What is the experiment, what part is it on? What are the non-stock restrictions on the experiment (where can it be run, where can it not be run)? What's the contract that you received look like?

Actually, my mistake and apologies for sending you in the wrong direction, it's actually a DMagic Orbital Science instrument, not in the Otter submersible mod. There is a sample net part in the 'otter' mod, but that isn't used for any contracts. The experiment is called bathymetry and it's using the part of the same name (it's inside the RoverScience file inside DMOS). Not sure if the restrictions are non-stock, but as you can probably infer, it can only be used underwater, the instrument itself has to be submerged. The contract, um, I forget exactly atm, but it was the 'biome study of Kerbins shores' one. The contract had the required situation correct. Also, there's two types of bathymetry experiments you can get, shallow water and deep water, that might cause the contract to be confused.

Got it, it was the fix for the Flats/Greater Flats that was breaking it. Fixed for next release (of Contract Configurator). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

severedsolo Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This isn't exactly your problem, but apparently you can't do science at the LV1 astronaut complex without getting up high. This makes early field research contracts difficult. http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/5298 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there's much to be done here... if it isn't fixed in 1.1 maybe I'll put a note/warning in the contract. Raised #16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightingale Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Fixed some issues in the Scientist contract as reported by @kcs123 - thanks! Download here. ContractPack-FieldResearch 1.1.6 Prevent scientist contract from completing out of order (thanks kcs123). Fix impossible to complete surface samples in Scientist contract (thanks kcs123).

Spheniscine Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You may want to ban the "Plant Growth" science point from the Planetary Base Systems mod - the greenhouse part is heavy and can be quite unwieldy for return missions.

Ah, but you don't need to return the greenhouse - you can put the experiements into any ScienceContainer (like a command pod) via EVA transfer and return it that way.

maculator Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hi I have a small question: Do you have a source for the coordinates of those rare locations to splashdown on land? I'm trying to do this with stock KSP right now and its tedious. But I remember your pack used to generate waypoints for those locations. Is there a way to get those coordinates?

Well, if you mean source like source code, then have a look here. If you just want the coordinates that it generates, then search for BiomeTracker in your save file.

The contracts don't seem to mind assigning them to impossible biomes however. So far, I've seen them pop up in biome study, and experiments around KSC contracts, but I've only just started a fresh game. Thanks a ton.

If only I could figure out how to remove them from [x] Science too, @Z-Key Aerospace has their own system for handling mod-science with special requirements - bring it up with him and he can probably fix it without too much trouble.

riskyjubles Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ya, seems the contracts I was looking at must have been from before the update. I canceled them, and the new ones spawning seem to only have possible experiments. Sorry for bugging you about an already resolved issue.

vardicd Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The bug that once allowed multiple copies of the same contract to be take/completable at once, has somehow snuck in again. I believe this was addressed previously? Posting here and in field research, as I'm not sure if this, or that mod is the source. Edit: both are at latest versions.

Kelvin090 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hello, many thanks for this mod. But i have one question to the follow mission: Biom: Kerbin Grassland Situation: Splashed down experiment: crew; mystery goo; EVA I was starting with a smal booster and jumpt on the grasland.... I have no idea what the system want´s from me. Splashed down means on the water. But i must do it on biom grasland. What can i do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntoSpaceAgain Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 If you look it the tracking station, you should see some waypoint markers pointing you to suggested locations where you can complete those particular missions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
