Yep! I'm using Kerbal Health in my current career, and these parts help on multiple fronts. For example, the centrifuges reduce the microgravity penalty, while the Hostel habitat is so large that it reduces the penalty from being on a mission away from home.

And kerbal health adds some functions to the larger crewed parts,  like "med bays" and "comforts" which,  when turned on, increase kerbal endurance (at the expense of a lot of EC). Its a thing of genius.

The 1.25m and 2.5m hubs and adapaters!

Well, these should be in some of the mid-late construction nodes - nothing too late. For example, the short 1.25m tube is in Advanced Construction and the 2.5m hub is in Meta Materials.

I am unaware of anyone else having any problems here but tech tree stuff can sometimes be weird if added to a game in progress.

I'm starting a new game so I'll let you know how I get on!

Still no dice I'm afraid - not only can I not find the adapters, I can't find the Vista module either - and strangely, a search through the game files isn't locating it either.

I've re-downloaded and compared my extant files against those included in the download. They're the same.

Logfiles then.

1st time I saw the images of the parts, the detail blew me away.

I just downloaded version 1.0.5 of SSPXr. I see that the collider mesh for  B-EX-1 Extensible Crew Tube has been fixed (I used to have 1.0-A3 installed). Can you also fix the B-EX-2? No biggie. I'd even say the issue is cosmetic since the B-EX-1 has been fixed.

Many thanks!

What does 'fix' mean here? I had a 1-minute look and didn't see any issue.

Sorry for the delay...

I uninstalled all mods; then added back the ones packaged with SSPXr 1.0.5. Below are images I took of the issue. The images are out of order - sorry about that.

The last 2 were taken before I installed the Collide-o-scope mod to show the meshes.

You can see there that when retracted, the B-EX-2 port behaves as if it's still extended - it's propping up the airframe in the pictures.

I then installed Collide-o-scope to show the collision meshes. The rest of the pics show that the collision mesh for the B-EX-2 are the same when retracted or extended. The mesh for the B-EX-1 retracts and extends as intended.

@Nertea I saw on Reddit that a while ago you started working on a redo of the stock 3.75m parts. It doesn't look like it was ever released, but would you be willing to bring the drone core, battery, and docking port to this mod? The 3.75m parts are beautiful, but I always need to adapt down to 2.5 when connecting two modules.

Even if you had only gotten around to modeling and texturing them I would be totally fine with making the part config by myself.

I'm having a weird issue where my EVA kerbals destroy the parts of this mod when they bump into them. Couldn't find the problem in this thread but wondering if anyone knows about this issue.

I haven't seen any problem like that myself but I guess if you got them going fast enough they could destroy something. How fast are they going when they hit?

Or maybe some other mod altered the part's crashTolerance or the Kerbal's mass... (not sure if increased mass of one object has any meaning as far as the code responsible for determining the outcome of crashing one part into another...)

Check the addon dev forum at the end of the month.

Glad you resolved it!

Thanks for the images, I'll look into it.

Had a brief opportunity to fire up KSP and continue a longstanding tradition of building rovers out of station parts...

They don't actually drive of course (0/10 immersion ruined unplayable lol :D), I don't know what I expected but I had to try!

Hey, I'm having a weird problem with SSPX, I'm making an interplanetary transport vehicle, centrifuge, nuclear engines, the works. It's made to aerobrake, but the centrifuge keeps burning up while nothing else (except a few protruding things at the top) heats up at all. After some testing, I found that if I put on a enormous procedural heat shield a bit bigger then the inflated centrifuge, it would protect it, but the thing is, when it's deflated it has the same problem. It's like it deflates visually, but the thing is still inflated, because the inflatable heat shield doesn't protect it. Any ideas on fixing this?

Sounds like its drag cubes aren't being properly calculated for both the inflated and deflated states

... a short investigation later and...

The problem is that SSPX uses a proprietary animator which does NOT implement  IMultipleDragCube

The solution is either use the stock animator class as a base for ModuleDeployableHabitat  or implement  IMultipleDragCube in the ModuleDeployableHabitat class. Either way involves a rewrite to one extent or another... Hard to say which would involve more work. Could be a case of being six of one and half a dozen of the other.
