CrashnBurn Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I did a few calculations and decided the new, large decouplers needed some beefing up.This is a simple .cfg file edit that increases the strength to what it would be just given the parts volume and diameter and based on the strength of the old, small decoupler as a reference. Even with this tweak, you can still knock off an engine or tank if you don\'t design it properly, but you shouldn\'t need to truss the couplers anymore. As a side benefit, my rockets seem to wobble much less.These new config\'s are 8 times stronger than the original, which is far less than the 10x mass increase would suggest, but I think it\'s a fair balance.EnragedPlatypus cleared up where the files go, I forgot to say what folders.The first file should be decoupler1-2 and the second should be radialDecoupler1-2...The first file is the large TR-19A stack Decoupler .cfgThe second file is the large TT-38K radial decoupler .cfgDon\'t mix them up.

Volt Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Which part names in the KSP\Parts folder are these? It\'s hard to tell from the cfgs because Harv made them identical by accident. I also can\'t find the large stack decoupler at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashnBurn Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 The first file should be decoupler1-2 and the second should be radialDecoupler1-2, I believe.^ Yep, what he said. Thanks for clearing up my omission, Enraged Platypus, I will add that to the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashnBurn Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Stupid question but... Where is the download?At the bottom of the first post. Look for the paperclip icon, click on 'parts.cfg' to download whichever of the two files you want.Happy Rocketeering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 So, just to clarify - there are two decouplers in the game and the OP has four cfg files. I assume two links are duplicates and should be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashnBurn Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 There are four stock decouplers in the game, but only two need modification. I had added the two .cfg files for the .16 large decouplers to the original post.I assume the forum upgrade duplicated the attachments.Sorry it was so confusing for you.

togfox Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Oh - I see - two radials and two stacks. My mistake. I see what you did now and you're OP is edited. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashnBurn Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yeah, thanks for pointing out the duplication. I didn't realize the forum upgrade had done that, until you said something. It made the original post unclear so I appreciate you letting me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashnBurn Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 The default strength setting is currently 22, I have seen very high settings in the 1000s, but I don't think anything we're building now would require settings that high. 200 is enough for almost any normal rocket part. I've never had to use anything higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
