Whoo! Finally caught up! (Yes, I just read through 81 pages. Don't judge me!)

@Nils277 I love this mod so much, and wanted to thank you so much for continuing to maintain it. I've been using it since I started playing in 1.2, and it has become my go-to mod for planetary research outposts. I honestly don't think I could play without it.

I wonder if you've ever considered going larger with some pieces? Right now, the base pieces sit nicely in a 2.5m form factor, when placed bottom-to-bottom. I wonder if you'd ever consider making pieces that fit in the 3.75 form, or even going to 5, 7.5, or even 10m sizes, and making them fit for more permanent colonies. Like I said, I love this mod and the parts that it comes with. All of the habitation pieces seem sort of temporary, though. Not the buildings, themselves. Those all seem fit to stand the test of time, but they feel like places you'd spend a year or two in, doing research or whatnot, and then heading home. They're not homes, where you live long-term, settle down, start a family. My latest campaign in KSP is a quest for galactic domination system-wide colonization. I'm looking to make permanent cities on every planet and moon in the Kerbol system capable of being landed on, and I'd love to have larger community complexes for my kerbals.

If not, I'll make do with what I have available (I am using Civilian Population, but their models are so sub-par compared to the work you do. You've spoiled me.), but I felt it couldn't hurt to ask. Please, keep up the good work. :)

Unfortunately there are no plans to add any bigger part to KPBS at the moment. :(

Had an idea, gave it a try.

Here's a patch I'm trying out that others can use if they'd like - the goal is to better integrate KPBS parts when both EPL and MKS are installed. It changes EPL-specific parts (the workshop and smelter) over to MKS' converters to create MaterialKits and SpecializedParts instead of RocketParts.

If both OSE Workshop and MKS are installed, it also changes the OSE Workshop converter part to create MaterialKits using MKS's system.

In theory, this should make it so that all three of those parts will be roughly in line with MKS equivalents... ish. I took a wild guess at the balance. 


// What this does:
// 1- Removes EL-specific RocketParts and related stuff
// 2- Adds MKS resource converters that lead to MatKits and SpecParts (for rocket building)
// 3- Changes the smelter to use MKS resources (Metals rather than Metal)
// 4- If both OSE workshop AND MKS are installed, change the OSE workshop to use MKS' system for producing MatKits

Thanks! There already is a thread and a patch that makes KPBS and MKS work together properly here. I don't know if this functionality is already part of it. Maybe @DStaal @tsaven can add to it?

Oops! I should have posted over there. My patch supplements what's already done with theirs.

I'm having a problem with this mod wherein a number of the parts don't show up in VAB / Hanger despite having been unlocked in the tech tree.  Specifically it seems parts under the "Advanced Exploration" tech tree unlock.   The habitats, the lab, etc.  I see the command module and many other parts, but not some of the key ones.  I've searched thoroughly by MFG, by category, and manually by name.  they simply aren't there.  I've reinstalled the mod.  I've made sure I've got the correct module manager.  any thoughts?  have you seen this before?  The missing parts DO show up in sandbox mode.  they are only missing in career mode.

 

addendum: I think I've isolated the problem to compatability with communitytechtree mod.  when I remove that mod and reload a game, all the parts I should have available to me, are.  But this sucks because community tech tree is a great mod.

This is an old and know bug i can't do anything against. The problem is that KSP forgets to remove unlocked parts from a Tech Tree node when the part itself is moved to another node in the TechTree. So basically you have phantom unlocked parts that confuse the user. This is especially the case when Advanced TechTree is installed, but it also occurres when an update of a mod changes the Tech Tree node.
This means that the parts you don't find are now in some other nodes in the TechTree and still need to be unlocked.

CKAN is supported (unless it has had some breaking changes in the last weeks). I would guess that CKAN has made some errors while installing. The command modules etc should be there by default.
Try to uninstall KPBS with CKAN and reinstall it. If this does not work, try to install this mod by hand...This way we can see what is causing the errors.

If the error persists with CKAN or even with a manuall install then i would need a screenshot of the mods folder and more important the "KSP.log" file from KSP main folder. It should contain the errors that might have caused your problems.

Edit: Just another thought: Are you playing in career mode? If yes, are all the nodes and parts unlocked in the tech-tree? When you already have some nodes unlocked and installed the mod afterwards then you have to purchase the parts in the tech-tree individually.

I was in career and now have most of the parts :). But i remember there being wheels for K&K like the special landing legs. The modular ones youd put on the sides

Does this MOD need the Community Resource Pack?

CRP is needed for the nuclear fuel for the reactor and many of the supported mods.

Is there a heat shield for the bottom to allow horizontal reentry?

No, there is not, entering this way does not seem very sensibly to me. There would also need to be a lot of different models for each size.

Is there good enough shielding on the parts normally to enter duna without burning up? I think it sounds sensible considering it is a horizontal base and it would have more drag entering like that. The meerkat engines with a hole in the heatshield for example for propulsive landing. I suggested it since on the original thread I think I saw it say that it was in future plans.

Where is the button "turn ore into iron"? There are 3 scientists in the laboratory, but there are also no buttons to "turn iron into rocketparts".
What am I doing wrong?

I think the heatshield for the bottom has been asked while back when this mod still was in earlier development but it did not get included because it seemed sensible. It would need a heatshield for each and every part size and this adding a while lot of heatshields. I know this may be solved with switchable models but it just doesn't seem right to me. Especially because the heatshield would not fit on th bottom when the bases are stacked in the bi-coupler or the tri-coupler. I have not yet tried out to land a base on duna without a heatshield so i cannot say if this does work or not. The only thing i can say is that the bases do not have any kind of headshield or ablative by themselves, so it depends on how hot they get.

Regarding the conversion in the Smelter. Are you talking about the support for Extraplanetary Launchpads and the Conversion from MetalOre into Metal?
If yes, is Extraplanetary Launchpads fully installed and functional? Meaning that all the parts from EPL are available and working?

Additionally the conversion from Metal into RocketParts is not done in the Laboratory but in the Workshop, so this is where you have to look for the conversion. If this is missing as well, it is quite possible that the Plugin from EPL is missing.

To be sure, you need to send me the KSP.log file that is created in KSPs main folder.

Yes. That's my fault. I removed the Extraplanetary Launchpads and all Planetary Base Systems converters work well.

The door is visible on both sides. But the "outward" facing side has text on the left side of the door ("CAUTION...") and red and green lights on the right side. If you want to dock then both vessels need to connect with that side.

On the image you posted I believe the right docking port on each vessel needs to be turned around...

For some reason when i use your mod, which I totally love, don't get me wrong, half of my ships are with your parts :P
But once i establish a base of like 10 meters in length, it starts lagging very very bad, when driving a single undocked piece it's fine, but once i dock, my fps drops to 10 fps around that area.
Any way to fix this? Or are there known things that cause lagg?

Thank you very much for the mod; I've been enjoying it for quite a while now.

I'd like to request either a thin, standalone Vernor component in the K&K profile, or to integrate Vernor engines into the Meerkat. My usual strategy when landing unbalanced designs is to have a semi-central main thrust (like the Meerkat) and then put Vernors at the ends, facing down, to balance the thrust. Trouble is, the Vernor engines stick out from the bottom and keeps a base from sitting flat on the ground, and they don't come in a side mounted version.

Hi i am wondering if anyone has a fix for why the parts supplied by this mod are highlighted in light blue when I load a craft in situ. This is extremely obnoxious and requires hovering the mouse over the parts for the highlighting to go away. Thanks for any suggestions!
