Collectable Experiments and Mystery Goo

[Grossbeer]

Hi!

playing the game loads and loads since 0.24 i got used to having a simple multipurpose Smaller-Moon Lander with all the science equipment one needs. i used to put a Science Lab in low orbit of the mun and collect all the data, bring it to the lab and then cleaning the mystery goos and material bays. Then (when i have all the data from all bioms) i fly my lab home and get the data to Kerbins surface.

Building as usual in 1.0.4 poses a little problem now tho: i cant transfer the mystery goo and materials bay experiments anywhere. I just noticed that there is a "collectable" flag not checked with those two. So am i correct that there is no way of retrieving the data to its full potential without landing the Container itself?

If thats the case: if i am, say around Tylo right now, my mission-science ratio will take a serious hit, right?

How do you guys handle that change? Doesn't this kind of nullify the use of the "clean experiment"?

No, they can be collected, but you need a Scientist to rerun them. Or you may just have SETI installed.

damn your right, that is a SETI funtionality. That explains a lot thanks!

If you go to "..\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Squad\Parts\Science\GooExperiment" or to "..\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Squad\Parts\Science\MaterialBay" you should find cfg file for each part.

It should contain line "dataIsCollectable = True". If that is there and game shows that you can't collect it, then it could be some mod, as mentioned in second post.

I found the setting in SETI to change it. It's under "..\GameData\SETIctt\SETI-ScienceSettings.cfg" and "//---Part rebalance for Goo and Material".

I don't particularly like that I can't take them out, and I really don't understand the logic behind it. So, I'm changing it back, because it makes me sad.

I too am confuzzel'd over that one. I'm making that change as well.
