Stock planets and science data size (mits) questions

[VaPaL]

This looked the best place to ask this, but I'm not 100% sure if it's the right place. If it is not, move it please and sorry for the incoviniece.

 

 So, where are the files .cfg for the stock planets? Just need to get a few number for them and I'm not sure how precise the wiki is. I looked everywhere and searches online turned out empty. 

The other thing is, how to calculate the data size from a scientific instrument? I thought it should be in the .cfg file, but I found nothing, so I guess it is calculated based on something.

 

Thanks!

For the actual data size (in mits) the value is calculated from the base experiment score * data scalar. Both values can be found in the experiment definitions (GameData/Squad/Resource/ScienceDefs.cfg for the stock experiments).

The science value itself is modified by planet- and location-specific modifiers, these are hard-coded (CelestialBody.scienceValues stores each of them, and they can be modified). Kopernicus planets have these values specified somewhere in their config files. 

Science values are further modified by the transmission level (specified in the part config), the CommNet connection status, and the value of any already returned science for the same experiment.

This thread is a little old, but as far as I know everything still applies, only the CommNet aspect has changed.

@DMagic Thanks very much!

In case you need the actual values, take a look at this: https://github.com/Kopernicus/kittopia-dumps/tree/master/Configs

The science values are in the ScienceValues {} node.

@Thomas P. Thanks a lot!
