[1.12.x] State Funding Continued - MM added as dependency

[eldorim]

Hey, this is a really cool mod! But I can't figure out, why my space station and mun base aren't recognized as science stations - they are only recognized as space station / base.
They have antennae (ModuleDataTransmitter), stock solar panels, stock batteries, stock docking ports, and stock science labs, though they both have parts that are not stock.
 

Version 0.6.8.1 is currently installed.

Could it happened, because I installed it into an existing game?

You should also provide a full modslist and a link to the craft(s). Kerbalx is a good place to upload.

Ok,

I made a pared-down version of the moonbase in the editor.

I believe, both suffer from the same reason.

I won't have time to look at this until tomorrow evening, maybe someone else can see what's going on

[PhilM]

The naming for bases and stations vs science stations is a little confusing. Basically, if your vessel is set to the type Base or Station, you're immediately excluded from being a science station. I think the category is geared more towards roving science ships or ground science stations that aren't actually marked as bases/stations. In addition to the vessel type, the only significant difference between requirements for the base vs the landed science station is that the science station is actually harder to accomplish as it has to have a crewed science lab. The good news is that you get significant credit for your science lab in your base scoring.

Score for science lab on a base or station = 10 * State Confidence Modifier + 10 * Public Opinion Modifier
Score for an orbital science vessel = 2 * State Confidence Modifier
Score for a landed science vessel = 5 * State Confidence Modifier

So while a bit odd, it's actually better for your overall score to be counted as a base/station with a science lab vs an actual science station. And if you're playing with a government that's heavy on public opinion instead of state confidence, roving science vessels are even less valuable. Maybe a better name would help differentiate the category or perhaps a blurb in the description that specifies the difference?

Edit: Also, I wanted to point out that the 10xSC+10xPO only counts once per base/station. You can't spam science labs for points. If you want to build with score in mind, you can add more crew/capacity or docking ports/docked vessels. Or if you're with a government focused on state confidence, then storing ore and fuel are decent options because you get points per 200 resources (only ore and liquid fuel count currently).

Just to let you know, I've added your explanation to the OP (with credit)

[eldorim]

Thank you, for your great explanation!

I just tried it, and changed the craft type of the station into another and it was listed as a science station then.

[Loren Pechtel]

One thought here:  It appears that this will cause Kerbal-stranded penalty on a legitimate situation.  I'm thinking of a solar-powered rover out gathering science.  Consider what happens at night:  It's solar-powered, it has no fuel.  The sun doesn't shine at night, the battery has run down if there's anything on board that draws power.  No lab or drill.  Looks like a stranded Kerbal but in reality they're fine and the journey will continue in the morning.

A check for power should include checking for the ability to make it.

Is this something you encountered, or just a what-if?

Because I just looked at the code, a kerbal on a rover should not be listed as stranded.

If the code actually works then the description of the conditions is wrong.

No, you are just reading more into the description than is there.  But for you, I will update the description to be more explicit.

New release, 0.6.9:

Question.

Is this designed to be a complete replacement for the contracts system, or just used along side it? Just wondering if it would be completely unbalanced if I used this with the Mission Controller mod.

Thanks for the great mod regardless!

Thanks for continuing this nice mod. What exactly are the requirements for a satellite to be logged in Coverage?

I'm using RSS and have several satellites in Earth orbit to setup a ComRelay, but none of them are counted as a satellite in Coverage. They all have stock solar panels and stock antennae, but use a non stock probe core.

Is it possible to change government types once you have started playing, or is it locked in at the beginning of your career?

[Ciro1983811]

Hi!

Just to let you know that with Kopernicus patch for solarpanels, all the solar panel modules are patched to KopernicusSolarPanels (that fixes issues with multi stars in systems), you need to add this alias for the energy generation:

 

Item
            {
                name = KopernicusSolarPanel
            }

 

Bye!

I Love this mod but i am experiencing a few issues, the main one being 

 

Gov Thing Says I Don't Have A Station

https://gyazo.com/089a8def78805608ec90e5fcbc4d3d8c

Station In Orbit Of Kerbin

https://gyazo.com/01b1cdf68352a3472b11ecd10b8380fb

Station Has:

Solar Panels, 1 Science Lab, 2 Kerbals, and Several Antennas

https://gyazo.com/55a7c58c2bdf3ad903cb49fee629c4e7

I Have All Required Modules, So ...... ?

 

Also The Station Was Noticed By A MKS Or USI Contract Not Sure Which

Edited June 21, 2017 by Mark Kerbin

[CSE]

I found recognizing government types from their initials straight forward and intuitive when it was just USK and USSK. As the number of government types grows, it gets increasing hard to know what government to expect from each button. Perhaps a descriptive name, rather than a "K"-ized reference to an Earth entity, would be clearer? (I don't think the longer text description would need to change.)

Descriptive Short Names

• "Popular" = USK
• "Bureaucratic" = USSK
• "Balanced" = UKSA
• "Authoritarian" = KRK
• "Visionary" = SpaceK
• "Crowdfunded" = KSKFP
• "Pragmatic" = KLA

Helpful, or not? What do people think?

[Melfice]

For the satellite requirement, are relay dishes not counted as antennae?

I have four satellites in orbit of Kerbin, each equipped with a HG-5 antenna. Yet, the government tracker says I have 0/10 progress for Kerbin.

 

(I do apologise if this has been asked/answered before. I searched for "antenna" in the thread but couldn't find my question)
