Maybe just spray paint the garden in a very Kerbally style?... or you could add a sign reading "End user to install garden. No warranties inferred or implied by Wild Blue Industries regarding Ranch House building performance when said garden is installed." Not really sure. Might try a couple of concepts.

Angelo Kerman Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 One more for tonight: I think a reasonable compromise will be to add the one tree, some park benches, and grass to get the idea across. Also, you can see that the chairperson gets the conference phone that lets you set secure communications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) @JustJim @adsii1970 I'm calling the "board room" done- with maybe some more props around the table. Just like the monitors, you can change the images in the picture frames.

On almost any planet other than Kerbin the greenhouse would likely need some form of filtering for all the wavelengths that aren't life-friendly and that our/their atmosphere filters out. it would be entirely reasonable to have dark glass, gold or some other metallic color to reflect that (no pun intended ) If you want a more detailed interior a few trees to show a park space with some judicious use of textured flat images to show low-lying plants would probably look pretty good.

Thanks for all the work Thanks for the suggestion, but the more details you add, the worse your computer will run. Since most people don't use the IVAs anyway, I'm keeping things light. There's a lot of polygons on that IVA as it is... 1 hour ago, Kosmonaut said: I love the posters and the pong Perhaps something in the middle of the table, not too big, would spice it up and make it interesting?

It's definitely a balancing act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 To reduce clutter on the PAW, I hid all 32 kerbal inventories and manage them with one "View Crew Inventories" button: It's also available through the Manage Operations button (which has other functionality). And, I got the mission flag prop in: As you can see, you can change the room's flag on the fly. @JustJim I'd say the Ranch House is done! Next up is the plugin coding for the "Pipeline" mass driver, and the parts that go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 With the Ranch House out of the way, I'm working on the mass driver plugin code. Here you can see how you select the resources and the pre-flight checks: You can transfer resources from ground to ground, ground to orbit, and orbit to orbit: ... IF you meet the requirements..

And any chance to prevent it in next time? How early tech? Usual advice is either to try to bring a docking port and use KIS to attach it, or to grab with a CLAW. If you aren't using CLS, I think you could attach a small pipe via KIS as well. (With CLS that wouldn't help you, as you wouldn't be able to transfer the Kerbal through it.)

For a part like this, the MK1 crew cabin solution would work: Have a crew hatch that's inaccessible if the part is actually attached to another part, under the attachment node. Then it's usable for rescues, but you don't have to change/mess up the design to work in space for one on the 'outer' surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) The mass driver plugin code now supports transferring KIS items between mass drivers: (transferred all three items in this shot): @SpaceKadet might appreciate the mass driver capabilities for his colonization efforts...
