theersink Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Agreed on the greatness of the mod. If research cost were tied to "difficulty," I hope it would scale. Kopernicus allows not only for modded planet packs, but also the repositioning of Kerbin itself. In my career, Kerbin starts as a moon of a gas giant that is two planets further out than Jool -- this planet is roughly an analog to Uranus, I think. I'd hope that any cost-scaling would be able to reflect new readings, since Minmus is now way down near Moho, I think.Maybe scale the cost with distance from the telescope. Doing it that way would allow you to deploy it in other orbits for reduced science cost for those really far out planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA3236 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Quick question, what happens if you manage to enter, for example, Minmus' SOI before you discover it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 For now nothing happens but it would be great to auto-discover it.Yes this would be amazing with addition of some new scientific instruments. E.g. you could send probe to Jool and use it to look for its moons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theersink Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Becoming one of my can't do without mods. However, startup of 65 funds and 25 for each step with 50 science award at conclusion is very cheap science.I would suggest making it more substantial investment. Perhaps numbers around say 10000 to 45000 depending on the level and 500 to 5000 for progression. Just a thought, it makes the career aspect a little more challenging.

Just a thought, it makes the career aspect a little more challenging.For now if you want you can change these values in the config file called 'database.cfg', you'll find the values easily Note that the research plan start cost is StartResearchCosts value + ProgressResearchCosts value, whereas stop research plan is only StartResearchCosts : this will affect new game saves, but the save files that already have been started at least once won't be affected by this changes.If you want to change the values for an existing save game, go to its folder (KSP/saves/<save name>) and open up the researchbodies.cfg save file and edit the values you want ! (do not touch difficulty value however !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have adjusted something I shouldn't have but I think I adjusted just the fields you referred to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interplanet Janet Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Something needs to be different here: If you are using, say, Outer Planets Mod, wouldn't you need to leave Sarnus already discovered before Dres, any of the distant planets' small moons, Urlum, Neidon, Plock and its companion(s), and asteroids?

Alkahest Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) How would you address something that would Reparent the Kerbol System, such as Galactic Neighborhood and the like, it no longer displays the planets in your system as hidden. Is there some configuration for this? Also, I'm having -serious- overheating issues with the telescope.

RecidivistTwist Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 does this work in 1.0.5? Also, I can't find this on CKAN but it was supposedly listed a month ago? I'm really interested in giving this a shot! My friend and I are settting up a "space race" and being "first to discover X planet" seems like a good goal we can add to the list of things to accomplish during the playthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPLRepo Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yes it works... FYI. I was in contact with Simon56Modder back in November last year and had completed changes for this mod and my TarsierSpace Tech telescope mod to be fully compatible with each other when the whole Paris incident occurred. I know Simon was impacted by this tragedy and he has not been logged on since November. Thoughts with all those impacted by this despicable act. Let's hope he is back on the forums soon.

simon56modder Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm back after more than a month of absence... ResearchBodies is compatible with 1.0.5. I'm going to update the mod as soon as I can in order to implement JPLRepo's code, so he will be able to create a nice compatibility between ResearchBodies and TST !

Thanks @simon56modder for updating this great mod. I have just released V5.8 of TarsierSpaceTech (TST) mod which fully supports and integrates with this mod. If you have ResearchBodies and TST installed then for TST:- TST Telescope and ChemCam contracts will NOT generate for bodies that have yet to be discovered. If you take a picture with a ST Telescope of a body that is yet to be discovered AND transmit/recovery it, it will become discovered. Subsequent pictures taken and transmitted/recovered of a already discovered body will add 20 research to that body. The TST Telescopes can also act the same as the ResearchBodies telescope, IE: they have the Research button in their right click menu and will discover bodies they are pointed at in the same way as the ResearchBodies telescope does. The TST GUI camera-window "Show Bodies" list will NOT show un-discovered bodies or galaxies. Edited January 27, 2016 by JPLRepo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottielover Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I just installed with CKAN, and started a fresh game, but all the planets are showing up in the tracking station (* started new Custom Career with lots of funds and science to test this mod), and no mod icon in top right. Next step is to uninstall with CKAN and install it by hand, but I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue? Edit: Manual install same result, are there any known incompatible mods?

For everyone else, if you want TST and ResearchBodies to play together you need version 1.6 of ResearchBodies and version 5.8 of TST.

gamerscircle Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 "Them" as in the unknown planets? I was making an assumption that having a very powerful space telescope, would help you locate "them" a little easier? Or, do I not fully understand this mod? My install of the mod was in mid career, but have only been to the Mun and Minus, I have not traveled outside of that. However; I can see [via map] Eve and Duna and Jool. Again, I was assuming that with a telescope, I might get a contract from TST to locate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
