Hi guys! I was wondering does this require LS? I know it has LS parts, and LS is a recommended feature, but if I do not have LS, will my kerbals die inside the base??

Without a LS mod, there's nothing that would kill the kerbals inside the base. 

This is 'just' a part mod - it has parts that support different uses.  No other direct gameplay effects.

yay! I can still RP, without having to worry about forgetting my guy in orbit and having him keeling over lol.

Note that a lot of the life support parts are hidden unless you have a life support mod installed.

Hi,

Noticed a small issue,  If I set the Algae tank to 75% conversion, then I switch to another scene and return, the setting gets changed back to 100%. This is on 1.1.3.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Will fix that in the next update.

For all: I plan to make an update of this mod approx. 1 week after the full release of KSP 1.2.

Hello, and congrats on this mod! It's really awsome!

Just a litlle bug, I don't know if it also happens to other players. I'm setting a base on Mun. But every time I get back to make some improvements, some parts appear a little messy, untidy, like it was mounted out of axis. i'm running the latest version.

TKS

Yeah, as said, it is probably due to the game engine itself. But to be honest i have never experienced this problem in a huge way. It your problem is really bad and a base is rendered useless after a reload please let me know...Maybe then there's more to that. If so, can you post screenshots comparing how the base looks before and after a reload?

Hi,

Since i got somewhat screwed by the ore scan on Min, only Slopes contain water. So, I have to park my main base at the edge of lesser flats (not to be confused with Lester Flats) and put the water mining section on the edge of the slopes and connect them.  On Kerbin, i tried connecting a flexible corridor on one base building with a corridor docking port an another base section 20M away.  I would get the Link option when i right clicked the flex, drag to the other port, but no option to complete the link.  I am using an Engineer with a wrench/drill. Is that the correct procedure?

 

There are two things: First, you need the flexible corridor part on both ends you want to connect. Secondly the corridor is restricted to a lenght of 10m. So if you want to make it 20m you'd have to put a part with flexible corridor ends between.

Thanks for the response. @DStaal was kind enough to help me with this. It was user error...did not know that a flex port could not attach to a regular port. I did manage to scout a small corner that had 1.03% water right at the very south edge of the flats, so I drove the base there and just attached the water mining section directly (love those perfectly aligned wheels).  Now I can drill both ore and water on a nice flat section without moving. They can survive for a long time.

Thanks

This is a good pack. I'm having alot of fun making a 100% self sustaining base!

Hi, it looks like any setting does not get preserved in a scene change. The enabled/disabled settings work, but if you set a any conversion level other than 100%, it resets back to 100% on a scene change, including the Habitat and Hub settings.

Also, the CO2 Small Container has the same CO2 capacity as the Waste Products Small Container. Should that be double the amount, similar to the Waste and Waste Water Small Containers? In fact, should it be slightly more? I wanted to lower waste water and increase CO2 and waste storage. If I replace 2 Waste Products Small Containers with a CO2 and a Waste container, I have the same amount of waste, half the amount of CO2 (or, assuming it's a bug, will have the same), and no waste water, with the same mass.  I lose waste water capacity, but no gain on CO2 or waste.

Thanks

Major bug: 

latest KPBS + TAC LS -> KKAOSS_LS_container_airfilter (K&K Airfilter Container) doesn't work.

There are no signs of expected buttons like "Start CO2 Filer" or "Start Oxygen Filer" in right-click menu, thus no gas extraction can be started. (BTW "Filer" looks like typo from "Filter").

Reason: 

ModuleResourceHarvester expects ModuleAnimationGroup to exist on same part and have some "opening" animation before enabling and showing harvester buttons. But KKAOSS_LS_container_airfilter has NO ModuleAnimationGroup and NO animation at all.

Suggestion: 

Even with empty animation adding ModuleAnimationGroup to config will fix the bug.

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleAnimationGroup
	deployAnimationName = 
	activeAnimationName =
	deployActionName = Activate
	retractActionName = Deactivate
	moduleType = Air Filter
}

Oh yeah there must be some miscalculation. I will look into it and fix it

Would this work in the 1.2 pre release?

I am using CKAN to download this file and install it but i get the following error

Failed to download "https://spacedock.info/mod/173/Kerbal Planetary Base Systems/download/1.1.4" - error: An exception occurred during a WebClient request.

 

Any Thoughts

THanks

Does it work again? Otherwise i would suggest downloading it directly via one of the named mirrors. It should work with CKAN though and should be updated automatically (If CKAN does not mess it up)

Hi Nils

Thank you so much for your contribution, your works are game changer to me.

May I ask you if it possible to make a copula IVA windows a little clearer.

I use it as a rover's head, even though the visibility isn't great. But I love your design so much 

Thank you again  

 

Will have a look at the window to make it a notch clearer

No it does not work with the 1.2 pre release, the Plugin DLL has to be recompiled for 1.2 (amongst other things).
The pre-release version changes very often and it would be a too big overhead to recompile this mod for every update. I will start working on the update to 1.2 as soon as there is an official release. 

[Nils277]

Hey Folks,

been playing around with updating KPBS to 1.2 (pre) a bit and everything looks solid at the moment.

Therefore i decided to make a BETA-version of KPBS so you can try and test it if you wish so.

Download

 

You can find the Changelog on GitHub. And as always: feel free to report any bugs you found.

Be advised that this update is build for the prerelease version of KSP. If you find any bugs that you think are in the stock game, try to reproduce them without KPBS installed. Especially when you run a build of KSP other than 1569!

something minor docking ports do not show on the planetary surface structures menu, they however show under the coupling major.

Good find! Forgot that the new categories also have to be considered from the filter that moves all parts into one category. Will fix that for the release. Thanks! 

[Rafael acevedo]

Kis container doesn't show up at all, I verified that kis and kas are correctly installed

[Kerbart]

Just installed the 1.2 Beta. When the config setting separateFunctionFilter = True is activated, the KPBS parts do show up under their own category... but also under the various function categories (pods, utility, etc). So assigning to the custom category works; removing from the existing part categories doesn't.

Hi Nils,

 

Here are some things I've notice on my end:

1. It seems the decoupler is absent from this build (the one used for the trip or bi coupler).
2. The "container" parts seems also seem to be absent (the ones used to insert fuel, monopropellant etc.)

Thanks again for the PRE build

Hmm, weird. Will look at this when i get back to my computer. Thanks for the report 

[Nils277]

@Fonz

I just looked for the parts you mentioned and they are still there.
Have you looked for them in the new categories? E.g. the Separator is now in the "Coupling" categorie, and the racks for the storage container are now under "Payload".

They are not yet in the custom filter though, they will be added for the full release.

Hi Nils,

Are you talking about this Module tab?

No, i did not mean this module tab. You are right, they are missing in there indeed! Will try to fix this.

Edit: Found the reason for the missing separator in this category: It is listed under "separator" not "decoupler" because it's separation is at both ends.

@Fonz Where are the container parts absent? Can you show me a screenshot?

I have them here:
