RoverDude Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 9 minutes ago, RookFett said: a quick question @RoverDude and/or @DoktorKrogg - 1. What is the design idea behind the Atlas harvesters? One is automated, and the other says crewed, but the latter has no capacity for crew. Other than the title name, there appears no difference in what they do. I would imagine the crewed one should operate more efficiently, but since you can't get crew on it, it does nothing special. Finishing up on my project - should be able to upload real soon (tm) now... Crewed would mean the ship attached to it has a crew, so you would get the engineering bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it would need an engineer in the crew to get that bonus - like other modules... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAJC3W Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Mod looks great, new features look promising too. I would like to bring attention to the fact that Kerfabricator allows fabrication of unresearched parts. That's for USI bleeding edge 2. one question about catchup mechanics: Lets assume i have drill extracting 100 ore a day, and converter processing 100ore a day into 100lqd fuel a day, plus storage for 1000 ore and for 10000lqd fuel If time warp while sitting there I will fill the fuel tank in 100days What happens when I time warp 100 days while watching KSC? will I get full fuel tank or will I get 1000 fuel as that's my ore tank capacity? - sadly this is the case, WOLF makes even more sense now. Edited November 13, 2021 by ZAJC3W answered my own question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch-up happens in 6-hour increments, so as long as you have at least 6 hours worth of storage (i.e. 100 ore), you will have full fuel. So, you'll be fine.

The stock alarm clock is okay at a pinch but KAC includes useful things like automatically adding alarms for SOI change and maneuver nodes.Once you know how long your storage will last you can set an alarm to check on that vessel before the ore storage fills up (10 days for the ore in your case). If you use planetary warehouse remember that containers will only empty half their contents into the planetary warehouse, so a 2.5m Kontainer Tank which holds 900 ore being fed 100 ore a day will fill up in 9 days the first time, but 4.5 days after that. ---- @RoverDude which .Net are you building against, and have you had any success building with the .Net framework on Linux? dotnet-sdk-5.0/hirsute 5.0.403-1 amd64 Microsoft .NET SDK 5.0.403 dotnet-sdk-6.0/hirsute 6.0.100-1 amd64 Microsoft .NET SDK 6.0.100 I'm using Visual Studio Code 1.62.2 on Pop OS 21.04 64-bit.

TycoonTitian01 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 does USI affect the communication system for kerbal space program? I had modular kolonization system, malemute, konstruction, and exploration through CKAN, and I uninstalled them so I could use extraplanetary launchpads, but now no crafts connect to the space center. I checked and if I create a new game that doesnt have USI it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAJC3W Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Duna PDU explodes due to overheating despite having sufficient cooling. I have aPDU with 2 medium thermal control systems attached and landed on the mun. Required cooling is 200kW, and 500kW available. When loading after approx 1h(landing another base part) PDU explodes seconds after being loaded with f3 log saying it exploded due skin temperature exceeding max temperature (850) . Wha am I doing wrong? Edited November 17, 2021 by ZAJC3W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as silly as you may think, thermals are deployed, they are attached directly to PDU even though they don't have to - radiators are cooling only directly attached parts, thermal control systems cool ship wide. It happens only while approaching with another vessel, even with reactor shut down when core temp didn't drop below 800k before flying/switching away. Loading from tracking station or from another vessel in map view works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give up, reinstalled all mods one by one, testing same crafts every time with no explosions. Moved my save to new install, landed once without explosion, just to see it explode on second landing, like chasing a ghost.

Malcymalc Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Question - apologies if this is the wrong thread to ask this - I can ask an engineer kerbal to disassemble components in orbit or on a planetary base. Is there guidance anywhere as to how many parts you get from the disassembly of a given dry tonnage of rocket? I'm thinking of adding a storage container to my next station for this purpose and would like to have some idea of how big to go (apart "from as big as possible").

heli Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I have a question now. Why is the Assembly Plant module relatively much earlier in your career than Industrial Refinery. without an industrial refinery, assembly plants are almost worthless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terwin Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 6 hours ago, heli said: Why is the Assembly Plant module relatively much earlier in your career than Industrial Refinery. without an industrial refinery, assembly plants are almost worthless I would consider an assembly plant as being able to make a chair out of blocks of plastic or lumber, while a refinery needs to make ingots out of ore or chemicals out of rocks. Considering that an assembly plant might not need to be much more complex than a well equipped garage workshop, while any sort of refinery generally involves, high temperatures, noxious fumes, toxic reagents and/or catalysts, an assembly plant seems much less demanding than a refinery in my mind. You can always send up refined resources to be turned into parts on-site before you have the infrastructure in place to refine the resources locally. (like 3-d printer spools taking less space than all of the things you can print form them, even if you can't make more spools locally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get half the part mass in MaterialKits. So per ton of mass you get 500 MK. The other half is lost. I usually just add one ISM for this purpose, to contain the scraps until I build up until orbital production becomes available. It never fills up for me, mostly because you only get to scrap the upper stages anyway, which should generally have very low dry mass to get decent deltaV.

ZAJC3W Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I found a bubu in latest ART configs, issue raised on github. In all bleeding edge releases parts were moved to "Parts" folder but their configs don't reflect that change resulting in parts not loading. MassDrivers and Separators are affected: fix for mass driver: MODEL { model = UmbraSpaceIndustries/ART/Parts/MassDriver/MassDriver texture = Difuse, UmbraSpaceIndustries/ART/Parts/MassDriver/Difuse scale = 2.5,2.5,2.5 } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vasimv Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Sorry for stupid question, but how those wolf transport credits are calculated? I have RealSolarSystem and with smallest craft i was able to get to the Moon's biome it says "423 transport credits" (from depot at KSC site). That is kinda too much, will have to spend excrementsload of money to get enough transport credits. Almost impossible in career mode. Do i have to use cheapest possible rocket or orbital refuelling to lower cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refueling at the destination can reduce part of this cost, but staging will always be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
