Mechanical Mouse Industries - Kethane & Payload Packs Released!!!

[Kreuzung]

I did just convert Kethane to fuel for the first time, and it seems to give you more fuel mass than the mass of the used Kethane for me, can anyone confirm this?

[Cooly568]

I tried making a RCS tank sized kethane fuel tank and replaced the cfg. I used the RCS tank model and replaced the texture. I all i got was a invisible kethane fuel tank with glitchy placement...

Depending on the conversion process, this could entirely legit. . Of course could be a bug. Ive never been able to get enough parts in the one place to actually convert any K!

I made a little video about this.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy using your parts.

Even the discontinued Satellitepack. It allowed me to build some versatile transport ships, outposts, space stations, a variety of probes, and even send a poor kerbal to an apoapsis of 290'000'000km (still on his way, a little under 3 years to go...).

So, for all your hard work, thank you.

[Zaneo]

Ping-ed-ly I scan along.

[ashrutoraman]

is there any way to get hi-res (like isa map sat) kethane sensor map?

SO THATS how you do it.... i dont think ANY spawned on minmus for me ill dig up an image

Is anyone else not getting the blip sound when it detects kethane??!!!

I'm not getting any sounds at all, other than the Ion Engine.

[Andrezado]

Yeah me too, and that is annoying when I'm afk and mapping Minmus :S

Excellent mod!

[willow]

Great Mod, I do have one small issue however. Mapping takes time, and putting the game on fast forward stops the mod from mapping minmus, this isn't a big issue because you can usually find a reasonable kethane pocket in one full orbit.

Also extracting, converting and pumping kethane to another craft takes a lot of time. I understand real time conversions would be slow, but right now I have to put the game in the background on single speed and do something else for about 10 minutes before any conversion/transfer is fully done. I think upping the speed will increase playability.

Or somehow allowing it to keep going when not the active craft. (Perhaps by a catching up maneuver after switching back to the craft, you know you were pumping, you know the mission time at that point, when you are unpacked you maybe can extract the amount of kethane that would have been extracted/converted/transferred in the players absense)

[Arrowstar]

I certainly do enjoy this pack quite a bit! Are there any updates on the progress towards a 1.0 release?

you can map up to 10x warp.

[willow]

I know but even then full map takes the better part of a day. The real "issue" however is the pumping/extracting/converting. It all works well but waiting for tanks to fill is a bit of a bore. Reducing that time would increase the fun.

I've seen a few videos of this mod and it seems very nice, I will consider getting it when my full version arrives

"There is a possibility that the Kethane Scanner & ISAmapsat & Mechjeb are interfering with eachother and making the game unplayable. (This doesn't seem to be a issue of plugin but the game itself)"

Does that mean you can't have mechjeb and the kethane scanner? damnit. Can other people confirm it doesn't work with mechjeb?

EDIT:

I just had kethane readings right when I turned on the isa mapsat window

You totally should I'm having hours of fun with this Last big project was a huge hauler that brought a few tons of kethane from the mun back to kerbin. I used smaller miner crafts to extract the kethane and rendezvous with the hauler.

Does that mean you can't have mechjeb and the kethane scanner? damnit. Can other people confirm it doesn't work with mechjeb?

I can confirm it works. I don't know what other people are seeing. But I never leave Kerbin without mechjeb, and I have not noticed problems with any of the kethane components. I've been scanning, extracting, converting and pumping.

Maybe it's some feature I'm missing, while scanning I just wait untill it gets a signature, then I copy the last found coordinates unto a bit of paper, and use that to land miners on the exact spot with mechjeb.

I'm getting issues using this with ISA Mapsat; the Kethane scanner map works fine but it seems to screw up the ISA map view once you activate it.

perhaps it is best to avoid having both on the same sat

[ashrutoraman]

i have both on same sat. no problem here...

[Dani-Sang]

Hey Guys,

Thx for the support on many levels, if I missed anything you need a answer too then please ask again. Freelancing takes a lot of time from me. Currently I'm in a "gap" again and will start working on Kethane again.

Regarding Mechjeb, Kethane and ISA... its something we can't replicate and is non-consistant trough all users. So we don't know the exact problem either.

Mining..... ON EVE OR DUNA...... YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then going to to explore strange new worlds!
