Unfortunatly the parts will change a lot in the next update. It's too much to write all of that down but I hope this will bring everything in line and I don't have to change anything vital after that.

I don't know yet how well I can support the older version in the new update. For example the texture from MobileVAB is used on the OritalHangar, PAM, PAM(small), FabricationContainer and the StationTanks. I'm gonna update this texture and the old models will look horrible.

BTW I plan on dropping the OrbitalHangar in the next release because I mostly forget that it's even there.

That is exactly what happens with current stabel version of KD and EL and why I switched to %

Now your patch does exactly the same if SC is installed or not.

So far SC support was only necessary because of the differeing density of Metal but I found a way avoid that once and for all with MM. Here is the important part of the ResourceConverter config as an example :

		INPUT_RESOURCE
		{
			ResourceName = Ore			//	Density(Ore) = 0.01
			Ratio = 0.02 // t/s
			@Ratio *= #$@RESOURCE_DEFINITION[Ore]/volume$
			@Ratio /= #$@RESOURCE_DEFINITION[Ore]/density$
			FlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW
  		}
		OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		{
			ResourceName = Metal			//	Density(Metal) = 0.039
			Ratio = 0.002 // t/s, 10%
			@Ratio *= #$@RESOURCE_DEFINITION[Metal]/volume$
			@Ratio /= #$@RESOURCE_DEFINITION[Metal]/density$
			DumpExcess = false
			FlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW
		}

KSP expects the Ratio in InGameUnits / sec. For the conversion to make sense, the ratio must be calculated with masses. Previously I made the calculations manually but now I just enter a tons / sec value and have MM multiply it by the Resources Volume and divide it by the Density to obtain IGU / sec. This way the mass-extraction-ratio is kept independant from resource-density. 20 kg Ore will always yield 2 kg Metal.

so dropping SC support is upcoming, right? (having in miond SC might just update to use the new EL 6.0 reciepes then, which make a reciepe change obsolete, at least partially)

the orbital hangar is none of my concerns in my save, but good to know it's beeing dropped too. I just hope the current WIP parts might change but not that drasticly as introducing them as new parts but for making balance this was necessary, so I understand that aspect.

Mostly I use the Launchpads because I love the flavor that they give for EL supplied building, even in orbit.

Since the update takes more and more time I wrote a little bit about the current state. Configs are pretty much done by now, just the models and textures need more work.

The Planetary Assembly Management (aka SurveyStation) has a new model with its own texture and this time with proper IVA(unfinished):

Spoiler

Management demanded an increased clearance for their high heads and so the part became a bit taller than the old one. The smaller version of PAM is no longer available.
To give PAM a real purpose, it will be the only part that can act as SurveyStation. I will add a config to re-enable the SurveStation on the MobileVAB via PM.

Early state of the new, smaller recylcer "Krushenator":

Spoiler

The old one is a really bulky but the new one should still be able to eat 5 m parts. So this is the smallest variant I could come up with (3.75 m bottom, 6 m diameter top). The texture leaves me enough space to do a smaller one. It will be one of these two options (opinions are welcome):

1.     2.5 m part that can eat 3.75 m parts
2.     1.25 m part that can eat 2.5 m parts

The overhauled 3DPrinter:

Spoiler

Not much to say besides the new model. Since the FabricationContainer is also no longer available I might do a 1.25 m variant of it.

V.3.0 of the CargoTanks with a total of 14 different resource setups, including multi-resource setups like MetalOre, Metal and RocketParts in one tank:

Spoiler

Now you can choose which switcher you want to use (IFS, FS, B9PS), no more auto-detection with priority. I still highly recommend the use of IFS (enabled by default) because it's build to work with the new modular fuel-setups, thanks to @FreeThinker. The other two have some limitations. As usual the tanks have lights to indicate their content even in the dark of night and also an IVA. Station Tanks are no longer available.

By default the converter-parts have all converter-modules added. Now you can disable the ones you don't need/want/like:

Spoiler

Would anyone like to have a MetallicOre --> Metal converter available? Suggestions are welcome.

As mentioned before the update includes some major changes and it's unlikely that you can upgrade from older versions To give a little heads-up of the critical aspects, here is a list of removed parts and renamed parts:
Removed (no replacement):

• KD-PAMSmall
• KD-OrbitalHangar
• KD-FC (FabricationContainer)
• KD-StationTanks (all)

Renamed or replaced:

• KD-3D-Printer --> KD-3DPrinter (this bothered me for ages)
• KD-TXXXXFS --> KD-CTXXXXFS
• KD-OrbitalPad --> KD-Keronica / KD-Launchpad
• KD-Recycler --> KD-Krushenator
• KD-SledgeHammer --> KD-KDA

Other parts keep their name but that doesn't mean they are 100% safe. All models, textures, animations, etc (except KD-Pad and KD-Keronica) are beeing re-made from scratch. For example PAM is not on the list but the attach nodes and collider change.

You may ask "why all this effort?" - Some parts like the Furnace are very old and I've learned a ton of new stuff since I made them. New parts will feature:

• All animations made in unity, no imports with hundreds of unused keys.
• Proper use of specular maps instead of separate materials for glas, foil, etc.
• Texel-density of 170 pixel per meter for all parts instead of a random texel-density. (I've tried to go for 200 but I couldn't fit stuff on 1024² textures anymore.)
• Reduced tris-count.

A note to other modders making configs with/for KD:
I no longer use module-indices to asure the correct loading order with MM but instead use different :FOR[KDXXX] definitions. This means :BEFORE[KeridianDynamics] will no longer work correctly. To patch before KeridianDynamics use :BEFORE[KD000]. You can also apply patches between other KD-patches. Here's a list of all load-order IDs currently in use:

'KDXXX' with XXX:
000-009		Reserved
- 007		Primary Fuel Switcher choice
- 008		Add displayNames for multi-resource setups
- 009		Add Volume to Resource if no Volume-key is set (currently deactivated)
010-099		Variables (Reserved)
- 010		- Primary (KDV1,KDV5,mass)
- 011		- Secondary (Special Volumes)
- 012		- Tertiary (Cost)
100-289		FuelTanks
290-299		FuelTanks 'Suffix' Stuff
300-389		ResourceConverters
390-399		ResourceConverters Anim/CoreHeat
600-699		Stock-Patches
- 610		- Drill MetalOre
700-799		Mod-Support (Add Modules)
- 710		- ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads
- 715		- EL Recycle Recipe
- 720		- KIS/KAS
- 730		- OSE Workshop
- 735		- OSE RocketParts Recipe (2 patches, 1 running :AFTER[Workshop])
- 740		- JSI Advanced Transparent Pods
- 780		- Connected Living Space
800-899		Mod-Support (No Modules)
- 810		- Community Tech Tree
- 890		- KD Old Prices
FINAL		Cleaner

For a release-date I can only say "soon ...^TM".

[LatiMacciato]

HOLY CRAP! That's a real list of changes, I hope that doesn't break too much in my save

BTW: love the Krushenator™ !!

This thread never ceases to make me happy, jesus

[stryth]

Is this still compatible with 1.4.5?

most likely it should ... if not I'll report back!

[The-Doctor]

Hey great work, just checking in again, just wanted to know if anyone has tested this in 1.5.1, I know it's not compatible but if memory serves me correct this is just a parts mod so the dll's for other mods should allow it to work. Has anyone tried it yet? Thanks

[theJesuit]

@The-Doctor  did you get this to work with ExtraPlanetary Launchpads recently?

Peace.

I haven't tried, I currently have EL dll with pbs and very few EL parts installed

[theJesuit]

Hey @The-Doctor. I forgot that I messaged here.  Turns out I was having a bug with EL itself.  A strange one where I need to save, exit and come back before finalising.

Nothing wrong with KD!

[Krakatoa]

@Eleusis La Arwall I know you haven't been around much lately, but just wanted to drop a line and say I'm enjoying this as an expansion to EL and I dropped a PR on Git to fix the XPad, Recycle Site, and Sledgehammer for the new KIS version. Thank you!

[theJesuit]

@Eleusis La Arwall

Hope things are well with you.

The ksp.log seems to indicate that all the models are looking KD-Orbital Hanger_IVALight_EMM

But it is not found.  The game and files load, but the error is thrown for all the IVAs.

Anywho.  Peace.

[theJesuit]

A fix now to the above post for anyone wanting to clean up their KSP log.

The IVA is still looking for PNGs.  So if you resave both   KD-OrbitalHanger_IVALight_EMM.dds and KD-OrbitalHanger_IVALight.dds both as .PNGs the error log goes away.

Peace.

[juanml82]

So if anyone is still using this mod, I finished this MM patch to change the KD smelter's old behavior to the newer EPL system of requiring LFO for smelting and deleted the older behaviour

With that said, I'm also having an issue with the Mobile VAB and the pads. I remember this mod had used patch manager for configuration, but nothing is showing in patch manager for KD. Probably related to this, neither the workshops nor the pads are adding the EPL workshop and pad modules, so they are useless. Is someone else having this problem or is it just me?

[theJesuit]

Not sure.  It's been a while since I had a long enough playthrough to check this out.  Although this is a mod I'd like to use for the smelters if nothing else.

Try dropping the newer EpL  modules in to see where we are.

Peace.

Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant with this

[zer0Kerbal]

its one I have an eye on to add to my pipeline.

[Friznit]

I really like the models but I've had to hack together a bunch of configs to make them work.  The VAB was fine (I pretty much just copied the EPL config) but I couldn't make the pads work.  I would love to see it updated by someone who knows what they're doing.

[juanml82]

I wrote his patches to activate most of this mod's parts. I didn't do anything to the orbital dock because it has some stuff I don't understand

  Greetings.

I am have asked @Eleusis La Arwall's permission to update / continue / adopt / release this wonderful mod.

Hopefully I hear back from @Eleusis La Arwall soon with an answer. In case I don't hear back, I intend to respectfully proceed as permitted by the individual licenses of this mod as soon as the end of March 2020.

I will provide recognition of original authors/maintainers; and I will gladly step aside should they ever want to continue this mod.

I also plan on including updates from @Krakatoa's repo and other patches in this thread.

Thank you kindly in advance!

Right on, I love this addition to EL. It's been a while already since I did the adjustments to fix the EL module references, so sorry if something doesn't work right. I also see you picked up the mod I had been working on a while back. It was never finished and is just a couple very rough parts, so feel free to ditch it! I doubt the textures are even saved properly for the current incarnation of KSP.

am about 75% of the way through moderization. will take a couple of weeks, but am keeping the repo updated. Concerning the patchmanager patches, well, beyond my pay grade - but will still include them.

and your other mod caught my eye. and I was trying to be stealthy!

have already converted the textures to .dds and updated the models to point to .dds. will have to see how it looks in game.

When you do update can you see about getting it on CKAN? I'm not code savvy and the awful, buggy placeholder models for standalone EL keep me from using it seriously, no offense to the creator (so please continue working on this!)

In the meantime it would help hold us over if someone (anyone (not me, I'm dumbo)) could gather the recent patches to get the mod to function properly and sensibly in new versions of EL/KSP

It will be on CKAN.

I am hoping that I can continue the existing Spacedock posting -

I'm in 1.9 and i like this mod, but when I tried to harvest metal ore nothing happens.

How do i Harvest Metal Ore???

I can't build crafts as well
