Atmospheric Harvester

[Yahnyx]

Hello.

I'm beginning at modding.

I did a lot of research to find somethings interresting, cause there's not a lot ksp-modding tutorials on the web...

I finally found some websites that contains a lot of information about it.

I succeeded to create new engines, new fuel tanks, new resources, and even a semi-functional intake air for a resource that I created. And resources-config files, to choose their rarity on the differtents planets.

I say "semi", cause the intake resource module seems to don't care at all about the resource's "abundance"... And so the intake was always "breathing" the same amount of resource, whatever the ship was.

So I tried to use the "ResourceHarvester" module instead of the Intake module.

But it doesn't work.

The module shows up in the VAB, like that :

But not in the "world" (when i "launch" the ship) :

I don't know why...

Here's the cfg file :

Thank you.

One problem that i see is that there is no resource in the stock game called Helium. That would be a problem if you are trying to collect any.

I know.

I created a new resource called Helium.

I know it works because I also created a fueltank that contain Helium, and it works.

Did you add it to the planet atmosphere. It does not magically show up in the planet atmosphere unless you put it there. Adding the resource is not sufficient.

This is from the community resource pack (Argon Gas)

PLANETARY_RESOURCE
{
	ResourceName = ArgonGas
	ResourceType = 2
	PlanetName = Kerbin
	
	Distribution
	{
		PresenceChance = 100
		MinAbundance = 0.01
		MaxAbundance = 0.1
		Variance = 5
	}
}

You can also add it globally.

Yes, I did it...

Am I mistaken?
