Tried to install https://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/ksp-interstellar-extended/files/2467195/download today. (1st page download url to the mod)

Reactors menus missing for magnetized target reactor, presumably many others too.

ksp.log filled with missing resource errors. KSP.log is 3mb so can't even pastebin it..

But the errors are:

[LOG 04:36:21.820] PartLoader: Part 'WarpPlugin/Parts/Electrical/FissFussReactor/FNFissionFusionCatReactorMk1/FNFissionFusionCatReactorMk1' has no database record. Creating.

[ERR 04:36:21.822] [KSPI] - No definition found for resource 'Tritium' for ReactorFuel Tritium

[ERR 04:36:21.823] [KSPI] - No definition found for resource 'Tritium' for ReactorFuel Tritium

[ERR 04:36:21.823] [KSPI] - No definition found for resource 'LithiumDeuteride' for ReactorFuel Deuterium

[ERR 04:36:21.824] [KSPI] - No definition found for resource 'LithiumDeuteride' for ReactorFuel Deuterium

Etc...

Checking CommonResources.cfg in the install shows that LqdTritium exists but not Tritium. Seems like KSPI_Extended_1.15.0.7.zip has a much smaller CommunityResourcePack\CommonResources .cfg then previous versions of KSPi (1.14)

It seems like fusion engine has trouble with supplying electricity for itself when running thermal engine at full trothle.

Kind of expected behavior. turn power priority down to 1, or add another power source for 10%+ more thrust, or reduce throttle a touch..

[FreeThinker]

I added a table for beaned power receiver on the OP:

Type	Tech requirement	Efficiency	Mass	Bandwidth	Coverage	Special
Surface Thermal	low	low-average	heavy	Microwave up to X-Ray	Full	Can be used for Thermal propulsion
Solar Thermal	average	low-average	average	Microwave up to Ultraviolet	Full	Suitable for Low orbit solar power collecting
Solar Photovoltalic	average	good - low	light	Infrared up to Ultraviolet	Full	Most efficiency in Short Infrared
Rectenna	low - very high	best	light	Microwave up to Ultraviolet	selected in VAB
Multiwavelength Dish	low - very high	best	heavy	Microwave up to Ultaviolet	selectable in Flight	Also able to transmit when connected to a beam generator and relay when another dish is available
Phased Array	high	good	average	Microwave up to Infrared	selected in VAB	Also able to transmit and relay
X-ray Photovoltalic	high	good - low	heavy	X-Ray to Infrared	Full	Most efficient in Hard X-rays

Hopefully, this will allow players to make a more conscious choice on what type of receiver to use

Turned power priority to 1 and now it work flawlesly

I think I would be able to reach orbit on RSS with this craft

 

Just attach ARCJET/VASMIR somewhere for high ISP thrust

I like how fusion reactors can "faint" from overheating, if only source of power is coming from them trough thermal generator.

That is thermal generator efficiency falls low enough, so it can't generate enough energy for fusion maintaince.

Hey @FreeThinker,

actually, I have a few questions about this. Maybe you can enlighten me.

• I have a Diamagnetic AM Containment device, not a trap, and it doesn't look like the one you are showing. It does look like it holds much more AM though.
• Can i use the Diamagnetic container to power devices, the same way as the Antistatic containers, or can I only use it for transport?
• I did a bit of testing, build a new tanker, and it looks like I cannot transfer antimatter between the two different types of containment devices i have. That makes using the two types in parallel very impractical.

Hi again @FreeThinker, What I forgot to mention previous week also is that the Diamagnetic container also failed to collect AM when in a vessel with collectors. Possibly the same resource conversion thingy you mentioned?

i dont know if its me, but im getting no thrust on anything but stock parts,i get super high impuse but zero thrust

All KSPI engines must overcome static pressure if they aren't using atmospheric mode.

I guess warning could be added, that says engine has too low static pressure to overcome ambient pressure.

"press"

well increase thrust by getting more power, change to atmospheric mode, or some high thrust fuel.

First off, plasma nozzle is for space only, use thermal launch nozzle for launching from the pad.

Second I think you might be suffering from the same bug I just was. Install the latest version of CRP from GitHub

K thanks, Was not sure if you moved those resources elsewhere or just packed up the wrong version.

you might wanna pack up a new release before other people start flooding in with related bugs to this.

Yes but KSPI has the wrong version of that other mod (CRP), so it won't work at all till you get the update he posted, if you downloaded KSPI recently. (15.07)

Also, try the magnatized target fusion reactor with the Thermal launch nozzle. Its got a GREAT thrust to weight ratio when fully upgraded and will work in the atmosphere.

All the other reactors have different requirements. Make sure to add a thermal electric generator to the other side of the reactor to keep it powered! Or try a molten salt reactor, it does not need any power to run (But low TWR and ISP, good for a test rig though to make sure stuff works)

EDIT : Problem solved, caused by near future tech

 

Spoiler

Sooooo idk what I'm doing wrong here... If I am doing something wrong.

It's probably gonna end up being me doing things wrong, maybe it's a bug, but I'm kinda struggling to find any solution to my problem. I have a bit of experience with this mod but mostly from old versions, this time i'm using the latest beta available for 1.2.2 and I am apparently confused with how the mod works now. So basically I threw this mod on top of an already heavily moded install, just because I was running out of end-game tech to acquire, and because I wanted the new Kerbstein drive to do all kind of The Expanse themed ships.

The problem is, I'm having trouble powering apparently anything and especially that Kerbstein Drive. So first simple question : what does it take exactly to power this monster ?? I'll assume that at least the quantum singularity reactor or an antimatter reactor should be able to do it and that therefore I'm doing something wrong and probably lacking some crucial parts. But basically I was able to turn the quantum reactor on once I cheated my way into orbit, powered it with a smaller fusion reactor, the part description says it includes a generator so once it's on it should work, aaaand... It doesn't produce a 1000th of what the Kerbstein is sucking.

So maybe I'm not doing something wrong, and the reactors that I tried (basically all of them) aren't able to power it, which brings a serious doubt that perhaps my game is broken. Which brings me to my second simple question. What are these reactor supposed to output anyways ? What should I read in the reactor control window ? 

I'm reading output powers in megawatts (18MW for an antimatter initiated microfusion thingy, shouldn't it be GW instead ?), and I noticed that none of the reactors seem to be producing quite a lot of electricity. I remember not so long ago on 1.1 powering tons of tons of drills on a single dumb molten salt reactor and now I was very surprised to see that a tri-alpha wasn't enough to power my space casino at a mere 1,5K electric charge(stock) per sec... 

I searched for information up on this thread and found @raxo2222 just after the kerbstein was released who was powering it with a antimatter initiated fusion reactor, I tried the same and the readings I get on my screenshots are quite different from his... Leading me to think that my game is perhaps broken.

On the other hand I get decent thrust on thermal nozzles with the fission reactors, leading me to think that the reactors work and that I am doing something wrong.

I'll try different combinations and perhaps a different mod version but if someone could point me in either direction help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems like latest version comes with outdated IFS plugin.

 

Also changelogs for 1.15.0.8 is 1.15.0.7 are excatly same.

I see SI prefixes and far infrared wavelength was added.

Also Airborne Diode Laser Transmitter should have laser diode in it, otherwise being surface attachable doesn't make sense.

Antimatter collector still is not added to ISRU category

By the way, is it so conceived that Deinonychus 1-D (methalox/hydrolox launch engine) has no tweakscale options?
