Noel32 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The main problem I have with this mod is the lack of scientists so there's few kerbals I can get to staff my science laboratories. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use the astronaut center anymore because as you've noticed it doesn't work with so many new professions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the bottom bar in space centre/vab/sph and it's on the right hand side during flight. It's the button with the globe with a little flag on it. From there you can hire new recruits, view planetary logistics, local logistics and kolony statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voicey99 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 For future reference, it might be that either USITools or MKS got ahead of the other and broke something i.e. I recently updated USITools from v0.8.9 to 0.8.11 without updating MKS, and subsequently broke the button until I updated MKS to the parity version, which fixed it.

dlrk Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If I'm using EPL and MKS, is it OK to remove all the EPL parts? If not, which parts are unnecessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd284 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The only EL parts you need to keep are the hammer and stakes if you want to use the survey station function. For orbital construction with MKS you don't need any EL parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, which parts are unnecessary? I wrote a module manager config that removes most EPL parts. It gets rid of the parts related to the making of rocket parts but keeps the EL launchpads (which switch over to use Material Kits and Specialized Parts instead of Rocketparts.

Kobymaru Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi guys! So finally, I got my Duna Base up and running Took me quite a while, because it's not just the MKS parts - it's also the supporting infrastructure for refueling and transport. The location was carefully chosen to lie on a 3-Biome boundary that lets me mine EVERYTHING!! The downside is, it's on a sloped location which is slightly annoying for landing purposes. It's at Stage 2, by which I mean it can produce Fertilizer and MaterialKits, and it's fairly self-sufficient. Next step: SpecializedParts production!

Crabman Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm playing again after some time and just tried that new Local Logistics. Man.. thank you, Roverdude, it solved SO MANY problems of my bad designs, it is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baladain Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Request for clarification: Assuming a smelt-o-matic produces X amount of metal When converted to an efficiency part on a vessel with a three bay refinery, does the smelter add 1/3X to each bay, or does it add X to each bay?

AndreZero Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm trying to alter my BaseHabTime but the game doesn't seem to be picking it up. I'm now thinking another mod may be overwriting the values i'm setting in the config. I'm playing with Stock Scale Real Solar System so it wouldn't surprise me if some numbers are off but I'm seeing 7days of hab time/crew spot. I edited both the USI-LS.cfg (in the MKS folder) and the Settings.cfg (in the LifeSupport folder), changing BaseHabTime from .25 to 1. I expected that to give me 28 days of Hab time but I'm still seeing 7 days. I did a scan of my gamedata folder for .cfg files with BaseHabTime in them and found that WildBlueTools had an MM_USILS.cfg but that had the value set to 1. I tried bumping that up to 4 just to see what would happen. And it didn't do anything... Where should I be making that change? Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm hoping to do an apollo style moon landing but 7 days isn't long enough and I don't want to turn off the penalties of not having life support. Thanks in advance.

The settings files are only used as defaults for a new savefile - if you've got a save you're already using, you want to edit them via the in-game dialog box.

Ah, that makes sense. Stupid question: Where would I find this in-game dialog box? When I click on the green cube, it gives me the current stats but no option to edit anything.

It should be that green cube - from the KSC view, not while looking at any specific ship or in any of the buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehpic Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I've recently started playing with MKS, and have run into a problem. I have several kerbals that got turned into tourists due to Habitation/Homesickness. I figured sending them back to Kerbin would reset them, but they seem to be stuck as Tourists. Is the medbay the only way to cure them? Thanks. --Rehpic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it adds X to each bay., if I understand your question correctly. If you have only one bay active and turn on your smelter, the bay will be at, for example, 150%. If you enable a second, it will also be at 150%, and the third will be the same. If they are all set to produce the same thing, they will be at 450% total.
