[Min KSP: 1.12.2] Mark One Laboratory Extensions (M.O.L.E.)

[Angelo Kerman]

Nice grimy. Now I can work on the plugin so that you can telescope the crane.

[Angelo Kerman]

Context for the konstruction krane:

Imagine having some type of recovery ship (such as a Heisenberg airship...) that has a krane on it. You can get some pretty good extensions to reach spacecraft and bring them aboard.

Oh! So it will work more like a Knuckle Boom than a Tower crane. I can see how that is stowed now.

Also, I added the MK85ISC (Interstage Service Compartment) to my CLS patch because it has an optional Crew Tunnel.

I had no idea that such a thing existed, but yes that makes sense.

Last part for MOLE feature complete: DONE!

Need to do some thinking on the drydocks, but if I don't redo them, then I'll be making a new MOLE release very soon.

[Angelo Kerman]

MOLE 1.15 is now available

The last major parts update to MOLE introduces some new items to round out the 1.875m station parts including a cupola and a programmable station arm. MOLE is feature complete!

New Parts
- Mk1 Cupola (Space Exploration): This 1.875m cupola provides excellent views and can double as an airlock.
- Mk1 Station Arm (Advanced Construction): This arm can be use to maneuver payloads around in orbit.

Bug Fixes & Enhancements
- Re-textured the Titan tanks to bring them up to DSEV standards.

Congratulations on hitting that milestone!

And thank you for doing it, too.

In the MOLE/Assets folder there are three texture for the "Corvette" that appear to be duplicated, in both .mbm and .dds format.

Corvette.mbm

CorvetteNormal.mbm

CorvetteSpec.mbm

(I found them when I was checking for large texture files, so there may be a few more.)

I've been looking for a utility that lets me check and edit .mbm files, but no luck yet. If they're not duplicates, the naming is strange. Can I delete one set, and which one?

If you see  both dds and another format, delete the non-dds files.

Hey @Angel-125

I belive i saw a video of the robotarm useage,but cant find it,or was it a dream?

when not ,please add a link in the OP or here or PM me

2)would it be possible to make the robotarm in a far future a seperate DL(the hole MOLE exp.order is 157mb)

while the arm with depencies would be less then 2mb if iam right

hope this doesnt sound as i am not enjoy your fantastic quality mods,but drive I nearly stock and it would be very helpful

suggestion:

A start a folding position

last: i can see magnet&light consume EC, it would be very cool(REALISTIC)when the rotation also need EC

maybe i can add a cfg line to WBIRotationController modul,could this work?

THANKS for the GREAT WORK  forgive me if it looks like a wishlist at xmas

KerbalActuators comes with its own arm and crane (same ones in MOLE and Heisenberg). You can go to my github repo and just download KerbalActuators.

[smotheredrun]

See this is what happens when I don't check on some of the threads...   You haz a C Krane?  Yay!!!!!  lol @Angel-125 you need to stop giving me more reasons to add moar mods to my game... My potato laptop takes 20 mins to start KSP!!!!!

[Burning Kan]

@smotheredrunThen I recommend this

@Angel thanks for the hint,got it

Angel, I and others who want to enjoy this mod are clueless on how the science system works. You really need instructions on the front page of this forum thread. Or a link to instructions.

I've noticed an odd bug with MOLE & Snacks, both related to time-warping when the vessel is not loaded

SNACKS: uses about double the normal amount

MOLE: Research time diminishes. Example: MOLE on orbit, 4 experiments (first 4 in list). Started accumulating lab time. Switched to tracking station, warped a few days. Came back to vessel. Research kits used, but lab time is less than when I left it. Lab time accumulates normally if craft loaded while warping.

 

Latest version of MOLE & Snacks, KSP 1.4.2

Edited April 15, 2018 by Bombaatu

[Jimbodiah]

I have an issue where stations with the BOW (I don't have any other vessels with MOLE parts yet to be honest so not sure if it is the BOW or the mod in general) where when I try to switch to the station, it will no longer switch, save or exit to the space center. I need to alt-F4 to get out of the game again. The issue seems to corrupt the save file as after the first issue in a new career, every next time I restart the game and switch the same thing happens.

Log included below, here is an excerpt. Running KSP 1.3.1 and MOLE 1.10.2

KSP did not generate and output.log file for some reason (checked x64Data folder).

 

Nevermind, I deleted MOLE and started a new career again. One of the mods to steer clear of in the future.

@Angel-125after a few days i try the robotic arm, and i must say its a HAMMER! feature .all work perfectly,Looks Good,the sequencer is easy,magnet and light consume EC,min. Wobbling(WOW),sequencing dockport change look so sick cool.....

I had a Dream ONE DAY my Spacestation will have again a robotic arm,and it will be better than any RA before,THIS DAY has finally arrived, - THANKS

Glad it's working for you. One caveat: be careful not to bump the object on the arm against your ship, it'll cause kraken forces against your ship. It's a quirk I haven't figured out yet but if you go slow it shouldn't be a problem..

[Burning Kan]

Thanks like IRL ,Dont Bump anything against your ship!,and i like it that way,making crazy spins ,catapults and destroyed solar panels

kan like kraken forces from robotarm

Hello there,

I did dock two Brumby with Flight Control Package and Docking port on top and I were unable to transfer crew from one to the other. I opened the hatches, I were able to transfer ressources but not crew... I had free room on both side. Any clue on what's going on? What can I give you to help you to debug this?

Kind regards.
