@Angel-125 when I run my tests should I enable Debug Logging on your mods?

Absolutely.

[TDplay]

Wow! Great mod. Loving it.

I do have one small problem, though. It's not game-breaking, just very inconvenient.
If I take an LDEF experiment module and place it on the craft, then leave and reenter the VAB or SPH, then click a component then delete the component, it causes the experiment description window to appear. This effect does stack, e.g. placing an experiment on one craft and one on another craft causes the experiment description to appear twice, and every time you enter the VAB or SPH it will show up again on the next thing you delete.

Any chance you could add some sort of airbag system on the Corona lite, I'm tired of it sinking when it lands in the water

In the KononaLite file, look for

	buoyancy = 1.5

and change it to a higher value. Feel free to play around with it until you get a situation were the capsule doesn't sink. If you post your results then I can change the part.

Hey,

first of all, very nice Mod you did I really like it and its one of the more polished in my opinion, keep up the good work and thank you for that.

Is there a standalone Version of the Brumby or a way to use only the Brumby? I only need that Part because its the only Working 2seat Command Pod with functional IVA and dont want to struggle my system with another 100mb+ of parts and stuff i dont really need, and my system runs right on the edge with the tons of mods ive installed.

I tried to delete all the other stuff in the package manually which (i think) are not dependent for the brumby, but then the brumby doesnt appear ingame.

If that's all you want, have you looked at this mod:

I believe it's working, and while it isn't quite as nice as the Brumby, MOLE is more than just a parts mod so trying to pare it down enough for just that part is going to be a lot of work.

I used the K2 for a long time but now its useless since it has no RPM/ASET Props Support, which I need because im playing a forced IVA Campaign. (sry should have been clearer about that)

Yeah i already had supposed that it would be a lot of work, after i looked into the folders, but im not a Modder myself, so i wanted to ask if theres another possiblity.

Its not compelling necessary but it would be a nice to have,  anymways I will find a way to engineer around that two seat Command Pod Gap in my carreer .

Note that the Brumby is a 1.875m part, which is not a stock size.  (Stock is 1.25m and 2.5m.)  It's a very *common* mod part size, used by a lot of other mods, but it's not quite the stock size.  And if you do prune out parts I'd recommend keeping the Mk1 docking port and the Flight Control Package as well - the three parts together (along with the Mk1-85 heat shield) form a balanced unit for RCS and have full landing parachutes as well as docking.

Yeah, thanks for the advice, i will keep them, but i decided to keep some others too, like the mole habitat for example, because they are filling up some other gaps and they are just too beatiuful.

Thx again @gunt3rgam3r , since there is the prune function, i got  lots of new possible combinations for the game that could be really helpful.

Too bad the rocket parts aren't available separately.    I've started a playthrough with all the USI mods with focus on building bases on other planets and am trying to avoid any other mods that are too complex.  But I do miss those 1.875 parts.

If you wait long enough, the DLC will have 1.875m tanks. Otherwise you can delete everything but the Titan folder and the plugins.

Meanwhile, I've been hip deep in DSEV for the past couple of months, but I managed to do something I've wanted to do for awhile now: reorient the MOLE module's IVA to be horizontal like the Botany Lab and Mark One Habitat:

[Tokamak]

I hope this isn't a silly question, but is there a way to see what experiments have already been completed? [x]Science doesn't show the MOLE experiments, understandably, and I keep accidentally sending up experiments I've already done.

[Angelo Kerman]

MOLE 1.10.1 is now available:

IA-25: Leveled the central attachment node with the rest of the engines.

MOLE: Reworked the IVA to be horizontal like the the MOH and MOBL.

New Contract
- Touring: This contract requires you to send 1 or more tourists to a specific vessel and return them home safely after a few days stay.

ARP Icons
Added new Alternate Resource Panel icons courtesy of JadeOfMaar. These look great!

I ended up here looking for a way to get Contract Pack: Field Research to ignore MOLE LDEF experiments, so for the purpose of other people searching this thread for keywords, here is a link to the Field Research thread with a MM patch to do that:

 

[Bit Fiddler]

having an issue...  maybe.  should the "Solar Battery Module" solar panels be able to extend in the VAB?  I was trying to place things with enough space to avoid part clipping but I do not see any way to open them up to see their full size.

I believe the MOLE Hab needs the following config addition so that the Blacksmith Workshop is functional (using the pathfinder hab path):

Hello, I've used MOLE before, but i've been away from KSP until recently, so today i fired it up and updated my mods, MOLE being among them. I start a new game, and there is this window asking me to select a Wild Blue Industries play mode. I have no idea what this is or what it does, so i just clicked cancel, but could someone enlighten me as to what exactly it is?

[TheDog]

And another one ( I know, I am annoying...):

The MOLE parts have module WBIResourceDistributor when Pathfinder is installed, however, in the code of the resource distributor there is a check for vessel situation LANDED, otherwise no distribution will happen...

Is that intentional? Thus MOLE parts in orbit will never perform resource distribution, although they could...?

The distribution is to allow for distributed ground bases more than ship to ship transfers.

MOLE 10.1.2 is now available:

- OSE Workshop now functions properly for the Mark One Habitat when you install both OSE Workshop and Pathfinder.
- WBT update
NOTE: This is the last update of MOLE for KSP 1.3.1.

Edited February 12, 2018 by Angel-125

[Alpha512]

I've just downloaded the mod (10.1.2) but the only part that shows up is the 1.875m fairing. Everything else gone. Maybe I didn't notice some dependency? Or a mod conflict? Any ideas?
