Install one of the other WBI mods (MOLE, DSEV or Pathfinder) and try this experiment in one of their science lab parts. Finally, unless you have MOLE installed, you should ignore contracts for WBI experiments. The engineer report panel in the VAB will show you (down to 1/10 of a meter) the dimensions of the volume that a part occupies. Once you know that, drop a hexagon spline or whatever in your 3D art app, set its radius, and put it under an extrude object set to the given height. Also, what is "WEAV"? I'm curious. Wingless Electromagnetic Air Vehicle, it's a sort of real-life flying saucer design using plasma actuators over the surface of the device and a hole in the center of the craft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingless_Electromagnetic_Air_Vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a trick I could use? The central hex block is 1.25m in diameter. I don’t know about other apps but in 3DS MAX, you can simply make a six-sided cylinder. There might be something similar in your 3D app. The hex core is 1.25m tall. 23 hours ago, StreS said: Hi. Thanks for that great mod!) I have an issue with contract to an experiment (icecreamexperiment). It was included to this mod. I read all the posts from this topic, but didnt find an answer for my problem. When i load experiment to an stock lab, and then push button (start experiment) it displays that i need 1 crew to start(or something like that)... But there two scientists in the lab. What i doing wrong? Sorry for my eng.. I can load a screenshot if it will be need. Glad you’re enjoying it. I am finally focused again on finishing up the mothership, hopefully by end of the year. It’s a long time but my time is limited these days. It sounds like I need to add the Stock science lab to the list of allowed parts. I will look at that over the weekend.

I would not want to distract from the mother ship .. but if you really look, just in case, these experiments require LabTime. Should Kray supercomputer only produce this? Or something else also produces LabTime? P.S. MOLE didn't help me. I decided to just ignore it as advised by JadeOfMaar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several lab parts in MOLE and Pathfinder can produce LabTime, assuming they're staffed, in the proper configuration, and have the proper resources. (Notably the M.O.L.E. lab itself.)

Angelo Kerman Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think it'll be easier to just lift the restrictions on the required parts. It's honestly been too long since I added that so I don't recall why I did it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Ok, please give 0.4.5.2 a try, see if that clears up the experiments issue. - Removed part requirements on several experiments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi! I tried. Here is a screenshot ... And I suddenly realized that in the stock lab there is no button to start an experiment or something like that. Only Start Labtime. I hope everything is visible.

Ok. Well, given yesterday's announcement, I think it best to hold off doing updates until I see what the new science system brings. It might just redefine everything... Meanwhile, I'm making progress on the mothership's paneling: I have a new technique that's making it easier for me to keep my sanity. I'm aiming for something like this (but more subtle): Edited May 8, 2019 by Angel-125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaelRathLian Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I am curious, is there or are you going to add, an on-off switch for the lighting? I like it, but sometimes it's a bit too much for certain view points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Updated Wild Blue Tools to fix a couple things: - Fixed crew requirements for experiment labs. - Fixed inability to reverse-thrust with propeller engines.

BaelRathLian Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Angel, I might have found a glitch. I have the gens running etc and yet the fuel is staying at zero. Only way the ship is flying is if I use f12. Thought you should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwlrd Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I've haven't played in awhile, with all the updates to WBT for your other mods, should I expect some strangeness from KFS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFS is still very much in the alpha stage. I've been working on it off and on; last time I was doing some texture work on the mothership and redid the particle effects.

Geschosskopf Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 @Angel-125, I noticed KFS seems to provide some additional MOLE experiments, such as reverse-engineering crashed saucers. Is doing that experiment necessary to get the saucer parts? I ask because I'm currently playing in a mod system with no crashed saucers.

The reverse engineering experiments just offer shortcuts... A successful breakthrough unlocks a saucer tech node, somewhat like discovering a green monolith will randomly unlock a tech node even without prerequisites being met. Please keep in mind that while the smaller Flapjack is fully complete, the mothership is still in development and nowhere near finished. The mod also has bugs in the plugin but I have been very busy of late. I am hoping to have the mothership done by end of year along with one other project but we’ll see. Regardless, my focus is on getting parts done before fixing bugs in the plugin. All that said, the Flapjack is definitely flyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
