It works in 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 just fine - if you're a CKAN user, I don't know if the CKAN metadata is up-to-date to allow it to be installed. Manual install works fine, though.

Wow, nice job @Badsector! I just ran across this mod while scouring the web to find interesting large station parts. This centrifuge is really cool, and I'm going to start using it with MKS and USI-LS.

However, I'm probably going to adjust the USI-LS values from what they are in the patch you so nicely provided. They are perfectly in line with the rule-of-thumb guidance that Roverdude provided in the wiki, but while those formulas work well for small crew cans, they seem a bit unbalanced for this part.

Is this mod still under development? I see there have been no updates for a while, so I don't want to pester you with my thoughts on the subject if you are no longer maintaining it.

Or even if you ARE still maintaining it, you may not want me to pester you with my thoughts, in which case I'm happy to just make my own patch for personal use.

theonegalen · July 11, 2016

I'd like to know your thoughts, @Tokamak. I'm using the centrifuge too, and would love to see updated values.

Badsector · July 12, 2016

Thanks guys for your interest, @Tokamak i find @RoverDude guidelines balanced for USI-LS and i don't want broke the balance versus others parts.

This mod still in development but now i don't have time for updates.

Fr8monkey · July 23, 2016

Just noticed and love it!

That out of the way, Is there any plans to make it a complete ring?

Deimos Rast · July 25, 2016

@panarchist

So I just wrote a CLS patch for this, but it looks like you beat me to it. Whoops.

One thing to note on the Centrifuge, is that it has surface attach rules (attachRules = 1,1,1,0,0) - despite not even having an attach node :huh: . What I mean is, you should technically have "passableWhenSurfaceAttached = true" as well. Granted, no one is ever going to attach that thing in such a way...but they could. :sticktongue:

:wink:

panarchist · July 25, 2016

@Deimos Rast - it was one of the first MM patches I wrote, and it's bound to have some inconsistencies. I was looking for the lowest level of compatibility. The USI patch I actually took time to balance according to RoverDude's guidelines. Mostly it's because *I* use CLS and USI-LS, and wanted the patches for my own use, and then realized others might also. If someone creates a better one, I'm all for it. Consider mine a "Quick and Dirty" version.

Fr8monkey · August 21, 2016

Another thing... Is it possible to stop the spinning once you start it up?

Dr.Wolfram · September 25, 2016

Oooh! Awesome cenrifuge, downloading mod now ... but can i attach stuff to rotating cabins? Wanna create centrifuge ring :cool:

Not that I know of

No. That would require a separate animation to do it. KSP standard animations have a start and end, and the reverse of the original animation is used when stowing something that unfolds, for instance. The DST Centrifuge uses the reverse animation for spinning the reverse direction, and both animations effectively "loop", so the normal means of stopping it isn't available.

Some trouble with solar panel not pointing the sun and stuttering centrifuge, i'm working on updating the part pack and probably i release them in the next days

Awesome, looking forward to it. This is one of my must-have mods for deep space vessels.

I won't call my mod pack "Officially Ready" without this mod sir, thanks for your efforts

Also, I wrote a tweakscale patch for anyone who wants it.

I LOVE this mod! Thank you.

But I seem to have a problem with it in my 1.2.0 save. The sentrifuge keeps spinning around at an insane speed. My kerbals would be bacalao by now, Any fix to it?

"FIXED" It was only in the VAB it went crazy" sorry

Thanks for the nice hubs!
Feature Request: More Multinode hubs

Can you build us hubs with and without crew tubs:

3 + 2 hub -> 3x 2.5m radial to 2x 2.5m
3 + 2 hub -> 3x 3.75m radial to 2x 3.75m
6 + 2 hub -> 6x 2.5m radial to 2x 3.75m
6 + 2 hub -> 6x 3.75m radial to 2x 5m
8 + 2 hub -> 8x 1.25m radial to 2x 3.75m
8 + 2 hub -> 8x 2.5m radial to 2x 5m

@Badsector - just curious, are you still working on this mod? I recall previously you said you were still working on some additional parts / improvements, but that was several months ago. I remember you said last year you don't have a lot of time to work on KSP.

Now that Roverdude has finished his major rebalancing of MKS / USI-LS, I may submit a revised patch soon - am checking to see what he changed in the guidelines for other parts.

Thanks!

I want to continue to update this mod, but sorry i don't have time for model, if you want to submit a patch for usi-ls i'm happy to update it.

I have a lot of improvement to do for this mod and i want to add some parts too but first i need to clear my mind (unfortunately "format c:" don't work for humans) from others problems.

panarchist · February 11, 2017

No worries, take your time - just wanted to find out if the project was still active and if I could submit revised MM patches for it. I'll try to get that done this weekend. Thanks for responding!

smotheredrun · February 16, 2017

Very cool so far, I've built one ship in sandbox to test out your centrifuge. One question though, will there be an option to stop the centrifuge from spinning? So far I cannot stop the spinning in either the VAB/SPH or in-flight.

Space Kadet · February 16, 2017

The usils compatability isint working correctly i think, the line for KerbalMonths should be BaseKerbalMonths instead in the MM patch

i changed mine from this

MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleHabitation
		KerbalMonths = 70
	}

to this

MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleHabitation
		BaseKerbalMonths = 60
	}
