EC is already handled differently in USI-LS. The rest, really is no more or no less challenge with one part or three. It's a math game (unless you intentionally make something out of whack). 2. TAC-LS does not have radiation or hab, last I checked. 3. It would be clunky, but doable, and no support would be provided. All of these bits are configurable.

minerbat Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 trying doesn't hurt at least. another question, this mod adds a lot of different resources to make ships in space right? does it give resources in RSS in realistic locations and amounts? or is that something i can configure myself? or does that just not work with RSS?

MKS uses community resources (which is configurable), so there is probably a patch out there for RSS but I have no idea if that patch has been added to the community resources install files.

You would probably need to look at the configs. They are all defined under the community resource pack. Each planet would need an appropriate config. It would depend on if the RSS mod already included them. If not you would need to make your own. Here is an example from the github. https://github.com/BobPalmer/CommunityResourcePack/blob/master/FOR_RELEASE/GameData/CommunityResourcePack/ResourceConfigs/Oxygen.cfg As far as LS. One thing to consider is that USI-LS is more like a "packaged" resource, but it is no less complex than TAC. I used to feel the same way you do, but in real gameplay TAC is actually less robust. The thing you have to remember in USI-LS is that a day's "supplies" is more like a military MRE. It is a package that includes the days food, water, oxygen, toothbrush, etc. Overall in the MKS world you will get a lot more enjoyment and it will be plenty complex with USI-LS.

Grimmas Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 There's definitely more than enough to do in USI without managing individual oxygen and nitrogen levels. Though I get the RP appeal. Even something as trivial as a manned trip to Minmus becomes a little adventure with USI-LS, and depending on your difficulty settings could result in anything from no consequences to total loss of your crew.

Well honestly I do and I don't. For me thinking of a supply pack like an MRE is basically a similar level of RP value. It is the reason militaries came up with the 24 hour MRE. It is one pack that contains all the food/water/hygene supplies a soldier in the field needs for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minerbat Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 @goldenpsp, @Terwini will try to find configs/figure out how to make configs for RSS then! thanks for the help! if i get it working, you can expect a RSS colonisation series! and, in the case of life support, having one standardized system is cool if you just care about taking stuff with you, but not really if i want to use ISRU and recycling because those differ for each type of life support resource Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an attempt to swing this in a positive direction, let me note that I also like Planetary Base Systems... and... it integrates quite well with MKS.

Nice learning moment to realize it's always good to think a second before hitting that submit button. We all make that mistake from time to time. And yes KPBS are nice parts. And as @rmaine mentions they work nicely with MKS so it doesn't have to be an either or. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPBS is a parts mod. So KPBS gives you a different form factor for MKS bases, but the other way around is like comparing ham and hamsters.

Hmm. :-) Or maybe we could throw in hamburgers, which are not made with ham. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhxmt Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Loving the new shipyard look. I've identified a (minor) bee in the current latest release with one of the WOLF parts - the 3.75m WOLF Crew Cargo Kontainer appears to have accidentally have been defined as a WOLF Cargo Kontainer instead (which means it appears as a kontainer with a Payload of 1, as opposed to what it should have which is Economy Berths of 14 and Luxury Berths of 7). From looking through Github, I think this is just due to a mistyped line 59 in CrewCargoKontainer_375.cfg (which should read "name = WOLF_CrewCargoModule" instead of "name = WOLF_CargoModule") I'm not particularly au fait with Github, but I do have an account (which I've not used for years). What's the easiest way for me to propose the change on there? Fork and then pull request? I don't want to create unnecessary admin work for anyone if there's an easier/better way.

jhxmt Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Thanks - done! (First pull request I've ever done on a non-solo-developer repo, so apologies if I've done it in a less-than-efficient manner, the git workflow still trips me up sometimes).
