Almost every mod I use has multiple folders for parts.  Some for different part categories, others for different vehicles within the mod itself.

Really? Oh. Alright then. I guess I pay more attention to KPBS's setup than those other mods' then. Pay no attention to me!

I must correct myself.  I reread your comment and had another look at the folder structure in KPBS.  It is indeed unusual, but not unheard of, to split the mod inside itself BEFORE setting up parts folders.

I still stand by my previous "pay no attention to me" statement.

Yes but you told us not to pay attention to you, so why should we respect your wishes not to be paid attention to?

@Bishiba Just tried this out and for me the CO2 Harvester works as intended. Also i can't really see the reason for the 5% load. For me the Harvester started at around 75% on duna. What version of KPBS do you have? There was a version some time ago where the efficiency of the convertes and harvesters depended on whether there are engineer on board and how skilled they are. This is not the case for the latest versions though.

Hi, latest version of KSP and also the related mods. Does the co2 vary on different biomes? Do i need another mod that adds different atmospheric biomes?

I don't know of any mod that does change the atmosphere depending on atmosphere. One reason already mentioned might be your difficulty settings. Do you have a higher difficulty setting for resource abundance than normal? When you set the resources abundance to be lower than normal than there is the chance that you had bad luck and the co2 on Duna was randomly chosen in your save to be quite low.

@Nils277, Good day.

I'm starting a new playthrough and i've been checking your mods. Question though, regarding the main big mods. I wanted to replicate Sir Scott Manley's playthrough and then some so i'm making a set of mods. I was thinking USI, NearFuture, B9, Extra Planetary, ScanSat, Karbonite, Strategia so on. I wanted to ask if there's known issues "Game Breaking issues" on them working together at this version of your mod and can you recommend additional mods that compliments my set including yours. ^.^ . Oh and i've been getting this hatch obstructions, wondering if you know what's causing these weird interactions.

[Cadet_BNSF]

Is there going to be a compatibility update for MKS. I had heard that months ago, and I was curious to see whether or not it would actually be a thing.

Hello

This one is working great with 1.3 and last releases of KPBS and MKS. I'm currently building an münar hybrid base with KPBS and MKS.

But, caution all KPBS modules deployments are now charged as MKS do. Also, one great thing is the docking ports in the KPBS form factor (both standard and construction one) giving my modular base a great looking (sent a vessel with an engineer to change the docking ports).

See you,

There are no game breaking issues with MKS I know of. To make KPBS and MKS work together you need the MKS patch mentioned in the OP under 'Supported Mods'.

Can you remind me under which circumstances and for which parts the obstruction happens? I can't remember that issue to be honest

Just to be clear: The KPBS form factor docking port is from the base mod.  The construction version of it is from the integration pack.

And KPBS by itself is balanced with regards to USI-LS - it's parts just don't have any use in the MKS system besides looking pretty.    The integration pack aims to change that - though it's not fully finished.   (I tend to work on things when they impact me, and my 1.3 career hasn't advanced to the point where I'm deploying KPBS parts...)

Oh, I had a look to my save. The standard docking port is not visible because not researched yet. But, the construction docking port has been available as soon as installed the pack. That's why I guessed the docking ports were from the pack, just not unlocked by the same tech node.

See you,

Something's screwy there then - it should be available in the same node as the original.  (I literally don't touch that.)

[Vive_moi]

@DStaal There is something strange in my install. In the KPBS cfg, the K&K docking port is under UnmannedTech as it must be. But, in the game it is under advUnmannedTech. However, the K&k Construction Docking port is correctly placed in the UnmannedTech node.

I don't why. Perhaps a mod is modifying the original one but not the inherited one.

Thanks for your answer.

Hmm.  Looking things over - KPBS has a CTT config, which probably don't get applied to the construction variants.  That's probably what's going on.

(Now my question is what's the best fix...)

[Vive_moi]

@DStaal I tired this at the end of the Construction_port.cfg (just after the NEEDS:[ConnectedLivingSpace])

@PART[KKAOSS_MKSAddon_Construction_Port]:NEEDS[CommunityTechTree]
{
    @TechRequired = advMetalworks
}

@PART[KKAOSS_MKSAddon_Construction_Port_Habitat]:NEEDS[CommunityTechTree]
{
    @TechRequired = advUnmanned
}

Now the construction ports are placed with the KPBS ones.

If that helps. :-)

Vive_moi

[DStaal]

Yep, that's one fix.  Whether it's the best is the question - it then requires me to keep track of where the docking ports are placed, and update my configs if they get moved.    (And if something else moves them they might not be moved as well.)

I'm thinking if I put in :AFTER[PlanetarySurfaceStructures] on the creation nodes (the +PART line), then they'll get moved automatically in most cases.

The only other decent alternative I can think of is having a seperate CTT config for the integration patch, but that requires manually editing nodes every time there's a change in the KPBS side. Not that those should be terribly frequent anymore.

Random Comment

[cyberKerb]

Weird  -My KSP AVC is telling me I'm out of date with this mods version 1.45 and I should update to 1.5. Did I miss an update somewhere as Github only shows 1.45.

Or have stuffed my KSP install somehow?

Edited August 17, 2017 by wile1411

@wile1411 You didn't do anything wrong. I just pushed the changes for 1.5.0 too early on github before making the official release

@Nils277 Just a heads up I've asked the people on the Near Future thread for help in troubleshooting the NF reactor patch supplied with this update. I've posted a screenshot and log file in this post if you would like to have a look there?

When using just NF and KPBS together I get a massive log spam about "GUI error on screen about pushing more GUIClips than you are popping"

The Reactor GUI doesn't function correctly and shows nothing other than a grey box..

While the one on the bottom is beautiful, if I were coming in to look at the mod I wouldn't trust it - it's obviously been manipped, and therefore may not be representative of the mod.  The original I'd trust quite a bit more, as it looks like a screen shot from the game.  (It's also less 'noisy', in that all the details are the parts which we're looking at, instead of the terrain which is just a distraction.)
