Galileo Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 @JadeOfMaar How goes the effort to get the mining going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I have some barely-there definitions already for Argon, Oxygen, Water and Xenon on a handful of bodies. I can't access the game right now (the secondary PC is currently d/c'd so I can access and service someone else's PC). If anyone has The Karbonite low-altitude scoop, they can DL the cfg's from my GitHub, plug them in, and test the scoop's Argon and Xenon filters on Tellumo.

JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 If anyone has Near Future Propulsion instead, use the AIReS Atmospheric Sounder (scanner) and M-2 Cryogenic Gas Seperator (harvester) to test for those gases. Tellumo update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duski Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The rings on Tellumo though.. If only there was axial tilt to match the inclination of the rings. I would go get my telescope out tonight to look at saturn and take a picture for inspiration of rings, but a 9mm lens on it's own doesn't cut it, you can barely see it. Perhaps I might take a look at Jupiter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 @Duski If Uranus is up there : o (And I pronounce it differently, I try to avoid that joke), let me know if you can see its rings. Because Urlum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Writing some configs now. I've set up a few more resources. But an amazing question just came up that can only be answered in Photoshop. Resources prepared (but not posted on GitHub yet: Argon, Xenon, Water, Oxygen, Dirt, MetallicOre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The question is..... How tall...and how wide? Spoiler Catullus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Faked the scatter. I hope it sells well. I wanted a solid image of how the biggest moon in there stacks up against those 4 planets, and a solid image of the scale of its atmosphere. Sure it still has a hard edge but just to help the mental image. With that done, I can fire up KSP in a bit and do something.

Galileo Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Indeed Hadrian... contrary to popular belief, Hadrian did not get its name from the roman emperor, but it was actually the name of the FOB I was at during my first deployment to Afghanistan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Looks like I need not worry much about resources and SCANsat. My configs are working even though the mod still says a lot of stuff is missing or just isn't right... They're showing in my scanners. My test proportions appear to be working too. Argo is successfully full of water. Spoiler And Gratian's air is full of Carbon Dioxide. Now to test Argon and Xenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Well. Everything works that needs to, then (I don't think I need to test actual drills). The karbonite scoop did well to receive Argon gas. Finishing the resource definitions should be a walk in the park. But Ore needs to be tamed. Its abundance is way too evenly spread across planet surfaces. It was mindblowing to see though. ASL, the scoop took up a mere 0.2u per second on Gael, but over 32u per second on Tellumo.

It looks cool up close but once you get too far away it turns into a sphere and i dont know how to fix it. I dont have a lot of practice with extremely small bodies. I also dont have the patience to figure out the correct inclination to get it perfectly within the band that i want. I don't if I can help, but if you send me the revised files (Tellumo and Lili) I'll see if I can do anything with it.

Too frustrating I named it Lili pronounced Lilly Is it an actual body that you can orbit, or is it the equivalent of an asteroid? Because if it's an actual body, it would be cool to do Rosetta/OSIRIS-Rex style missions to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEpicSquared Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 From an outside point of view, I'd say keep Lili, even if you can't correct some of the issues. I think most people would like having a small Gilly-like planet to explore, even if there are some visual bugs. Plus, a space station passing overhead would look epic Just my 2 cents though, ultimately it's your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to keep it I really do but I'm also a perfectionist. @OhioBob I'll send you the cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
