[1.4.X] Civilian Population - 2.1.2 [08/07/2018]

[Pamynx]

Turn your Kerbal society into a Type 1 Civilization by adding civilian exploration! 
Your agency, as research goes on, gains the ability to have civilians take part on your exploration.

Once build, your ships, orbital or ground station will welcome civilian that will pay a rent to your agency, breed, grow their kids, get aged and die.
You will also be able to train and recruit civilian to become regular kerbonauts.

As this mod is still under development, all the functionnalities are not available yet.

release 2.1.2

[Pamynx]

A new version built against KSP 1.4.2 is ready.

Should be available on CKAN soon !

[Lordmaddog]

WOOOOT thank you!!

[Lordmaddog]

How dose the UI work? And how do I know if any of the mod besides the parts are working at all?

I have a station.

 

It has four civs in the apartment but nothing seems to do any thing lol

It looks like there is a problem with this 2.1.1 version. It was compiled against the MacOSX version that do not have the same .dll as the Linux or Windows version.

Thus, if you are not running on MacOSX this last version won't work and you have to keep using version 2.1.0 or the mod.

I will try to find a way to fix this asap.

Thanks for releasing this. The last time I started a new game it was dead in the water. Does the 75 year age limit apply to every Kerbal or just the civilians?

Cool

Also every time your script updates it causes a small lag spike that gets bigger and bigger for every kerbal you have at three kerbals it felt like a micro stutter but now I have overe 50 and it's not fun.

The small freeze would not be bad if it was like once every 2-3 min but your script updates ever other second any way you can cut that down?

I will have a look.

[Lordmaddog]

Any update?

I love this mod but the way I have it working now is just killing my game. I am not sure if its because I manually added the dlls you talked about or some thing ells but its sadly unplayable atm.

 

 

[Pamynx]

I shoudl have more time this week end to work on perfomances. I will keep you in touch.

[SirThoreth]

This looks seriously neat.  Before I install, though, is this by any chance compatible with Snacks!, or would I need to uninstall that in order to keep the two from conflicting?

[riskyjubles]

Sorry to ask, but has the issue about the civs not breeding unless you focus on them been resolved? Love this mod! Thanks so much for all the hard work updating it!

[Pamynx]

Civilian Population spawn real (unqualified) kerbals. Thus any life support mod should handle them correctly.

Anyway, there is some stuff you should know :

• Parts (Greenhouses, appartments, etc.) are perhaps not balanced properly. I did notwork on it yet. If you detect such a problem, you can contribute or let me know.
• Kerbals are not spawned before you focus their habitat, they will not consume ressources, before you actually go and watch them (They do not die either).

@SirThoreth you can play with Snacks! And let me know about balance problems on parts.

@riskyjubles They will breed (and die when too old), but won't consume resource before you actually focus the station and have the mod update your station.

 

[Pamynx]

A new version is released :

- Improvements in the UI.

- Should work properly on all platforms.

- Performance improvements.

- Few bug fixes.

I will now work more on balancing the parts, starting with TACLS.

Will their old death affect my reputation?

I have no idea I think I should check this.

[PmThay]

As anyone tried this mod in KSP 1.6.1?
Did it worked ok?

[SlamduncAZ]

Is there any physical limitations with age? (Such as G-force limits)

I currently have Jeb, Bob, and Bill (all of which are in early 60’s or late 50’s) on their way to Jool. (Due to arrive in ~100 days). So far they have done fine because they have kept in shape and kept healthy.

Excellent mod BTW, I am planning on using its colonization factors on my planned interstellar ark/generation ship.

I have found what might be a bug. I use this mod with TAC Life Support. For some reason, my kerbals are not producing enough waste to produce enough fertilizer to produce enough food. There is nothing else on board that consumes waste. Is this normal or is this a bug?
