Is there a possibility to add the option so that Snacks calculates correct time remaining for snacks, when 24h is turned on in the KSP settings?

or did i miss the settings somewhere?

Not yet but I can add that to the list for the next update along with the ability to faint for a full day (which, if you run out of snacks, means your crew will be continually napping).

Cool that would be awesome, i was a bit confused about duration at first, but then noticed the 24h was selected in settings.

also take into consideration to make nap time last until resupplying the affected ship, like i mentioned it earlier. (more options, more fun for diverse play styles)

of course only if that is easy implemented lol :D 

Keep up the good work! :)

hi guys! I'm yet unsure where else to go with that, hehe.
I made some cfg's a while ago and have playing around with numbers and mod's at all to make a reasonable balance for the recycler-feature.

-- snip --

EDIT: see my repo for the latest version!

Feedback is very welcome, happy soil converting! :)

Note:

  • First of all, these configs are free to use!
  • I hope it's ok that these modifications are reasonable after all, since mods shall improve the game at all.
  • standard rate (100% efficiency set)
  • I tried to follow the Hitchy settings and added some improvements on the mod parts, better parts, fancier looking, improved functionality
    i.e: the hitchy has 400 units snacks and 100 units max soil capacity means 4 units snacks to 1 unit soil in capacity
  • mod parts have a power usage at 150% (15 instead of 10 ratio) with a 4x higher soil convertion/recycling, but same capacity of soil
  • I made AutoShutdown = true just to make sure snacks do not waste into space or on the planet :)
  • "KKAOSS_LS_container_greenhouse" aka K&K Greenhouse Container has the standard rate like the Hitchy but no storage of snacks or soil so make sure you have these containers/parts

Feedback is very welcome, happy soil converting! :)

Way cool! Thanks for sharing these. :)

i know since Snack! is MIT i could easily mod an ISRU but unsure how i should feel about my Kerbals consuming a mixture of Ore, Monopropellant, rocket fuel etc and .. well soil >.<

what came to my mind when i saw the recycler feature was the replicator from Star Trek haha :D

Snacks 1.6.0 is now available.

- Plugin renamed to SnacksUtils to alleviate issues with ModuleManager.
- When kerbals faint due to lack of snacks, you now choose from 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, 2 hours, or a day.
- Snacks now supports 24-hour days in addition to 6-hour days. Time between snacking is calculated accordingly.

@Angel-125 Thank you for picking up Snacks!

Best and simplest life support mod I have found.

I wanted to know if you had any plans in the works to introduce a smaller radial attach snack tank. That would be really awesome for my smaller resupply crafts to use.

 

 

there are already other mods that have such things :D
you might wanna check out Universal Storage too

What I might do is take the stock radial RCS tanks and make small Snacks container variants. That should do the trick. :)

well, in any case you could just add an additional part wich is meant to be a seated part but just dont put any kerbals in :)
.. also you can use StationPartsExpansion

@Angel-125 can we have Soil-tanks too if option is enabled? (it's yet optional to use Soil tho)

Yeah, I should be able to add that option as well. These are small changes, I can get to them tomorrow. :)

very awesome! and ty again hehe

No problem. :) Also, Snacks is pretty stable now, and one of my design goals was to make the mod itself moddable. One option I'm considering as an addon to Snacks is a hardcore mode death penalty for starving your kerbals. That's not something I'd use, and it doesn't belong in the base mod, but I know others have asked for it in the past. Another option is something where you track how long a kerbal has been in space. Not sure I want to do this as there are other means to track flight time, such as with Kerbal Alarm Clock. Again, not appropriate for the base mod, but it could work as an addon.

diversity is never a fail, look at mankind .. what I'm trying to say is that Snacks is yet simple, but very complex at once
.. that's rare and very appreciable.
I'm yet unsure if I shall prefer snacks over USI-LS or TAC-LS (those all are great mods!) but I find myself having the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principe ergo using Snacks as main life support still.

Regards :)

I just checked, the snack tins already have an option to hold Soil. You can switch between Snacks, Soil, and Snacks and Soil. The radial tank will have the same ability.

@Angel-125, Do you happen to have a tentative release date for the radial snack containers? I don't mean to be a pest. I am just thinking about all those poor Kerbals that simply can't live without it.

Hello there!

I would like to mention that the option for an EVA-ing Kerbal to refill the amount of snacks on his / her person from any part that contains at least one would be a reasonable idea.

Thx, cheers! :cool:

Well, I was testing this radial container when *somebody* suggested a nice idea to let a kerbal on EVA refil the suit's snack pack... :)

Hm, replenishing a kerba's snacks while on EVA isn't a trivial task, so I'll shelve it for now. But, this release adds the radial snack tin, found in the Payload category.

FYI, making new snacks parts from stock is pretty easy if you use the existing parts as a template. Then you don't have keep bugging modders. Just sayin..
