USI kolonization logistics question

[fungiamongi]

Hey!

question about USI kolonization, can't find enough details about how planetary logistics works, but here's something interesting for you guys.

got a lander built, complete with enough materials kits to build a small base on minmus (farthest I've got so far haha)

a hab module, some agricultural modules, an inflatable workshop, the works, adds up to some 12,000 material kits.

here's whats happening though.

If I dont disable the warehouses for all the storage containers, then when I get to LKO half my supplies get auto-moved to "planetary logistics".

If I DO disable warehouse, i bring everything with me to minmus.

BUT, either way, I still dont have enough to inflate anything when I finally land.

the containers are full, but I still get the "not enough material kits" message, with or without warehouse disabled..

anyone have a similar issue? 

how does planetary logistics work exactly anyway?

Is there a way to manually move stuff to and from planetary storage?

(oh, the lander has a tundra logistics module, of course, oh, and theres a small minmus station in orbit with a logistics module as well)

Here's a picture to show you what happens.

Any time I launch something from kerbin with resources and a logistics pod, as soon as it goes into LKO it dumps half of what its got into planetary resources.  

SUPER annoying, since I can't figure out how to get everything back, and can't use it.

even tried just deploying everything in kerbin orbit, and it'll work, up until the resources still on the ship run out, at which point I can't do anything.


so, to sum it up, it seems like planetary logistics just takes your things and doesn't give them back

You might want to post this question in the USI Kolonization System mod thread instead. As you can see, you've not been getting any replies in over a day. That is because this forum is dedicated more to the stock game and general questions about how to do stuff in space. What you're asking though is a highly specific case question about one of the most poorly documented special features in possibly the most complex mod ever created for KSP. I'm willing to bet that apart from the mod author himself, there are maybe a handful of people at best who can even answer it. And you are more likely to find them if you go to a place where they are more likely to hang out, which is the UKS mod thread.

I'll side with @Streetwind about getting the question to UKS mod Thread. Be patient and take your time to see what kind of logs and info the author want for support as well as what kind of troubleshooting he expect to be done before asking. You may be luck to find help in this forum but most likely to get sympathy and well intended guesses instead

 

Now, based in my very limited knowledge of the mod:

Some modules in UKS can share the resources, some modules are required to scavenge from the shared resources. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the module need to be landed to scavenge resources. Check the description of the parts used and look if there is something like "can scavenge from nearby warehouses"; if you don’t find any its possible you don’t have access to the "hidden ducts/wires" UKS simulate.

Notice that, like I said, this its just a well intended guess. Sorry if its not usefull for you.
