l00 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Dear fellow Kerbonauts!I am pleased to present you an ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) addon to KSP.This basically enables you to mine celestial bodies, for fuel.PICTURES HERE!Parts contained in mod: -ISRU Module: If "powered" by Laser Drills, it will slowly mine fuel. Only accepts "power" from EPS drills! Has to be activated by staging. You'll need more than one drill. -EPS Laser Drill: Use these to power the ISRU Module. They also power other EPS parts and batteries (not included ) They are NOT landing gear! Do not land on them or they will explode! Hit 'V' to lower / raise. -EPS Laser Drill Larger Version: Same as the above, for the larger landing legs.Changelog:0.1: -Initial release.0.11 -Fixed naming issue.Download below (mediafire).Download 0.1: ISRU_0.11Source: ISRU_0.11_sourceSince i screwed up the name in 0.1 (IRSU, lol...) please make sure that you have ISRU.dll in the plugins folder and delete IRSU.dll, if you upgrade from 0.1!Please note that this mod adds custom data to the persistence file!I suggest backing it up before trying this!Credits -Yorik: Part models and textures -l00: coding & the rest:)Bug reports and suggestions are welcome!Cheers!This work by l00 is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

deadshot462 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Agreed about the pictures, would be nice to see a preview.This plugin would be very useful for interplanetary flights so you can refuel to return home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure how slow "slowly" is but on Kerbin there seems to be no fuel in the ground.edit:It turns out there is fuel on Kerbin, the IRSU just needs more drills to operate.

MrPwner Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sounds interesting. And from the maker of one of my favourite plugins ever, this has to be good (also, your signature link is broken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadownailshot Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 It has to be activated by staging? Does this mean that if you have a decoupler staged after it, you can only use it once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l00 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hi Everyone!Thank you all for your support!0.11 us up, as i named the .dll wrong... Please see OP!Pictures of a mission with ISRU have been also added to OP.The unit does indeed need to be activated by staging.I suggest activating it by putting it in the same stage your landing engine(s).Cheers!

OperationDx Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Any way to make this re fuel your RCS tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaucus Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) This looks like an amazing mod, but I cant seem to get it working, any ideas?Edit - never mind, me being dumb, awesome mod. Edited October 8, 2012 by Glaucus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssTALONps Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I noticed that even without laser drills the ISRU can produce fuel out of nothing...I used combination of DynaVolt SP and NB for exo-planetary refuel probe designed to land on small bodies like Bop or Gilley, using drills to mine fuel...But after I completed TJI and wait for mid course correction, I realized my fuel tanks are full!!! lol!!!I hope there'll be some kind of workaround for this... atm I just manually turn ISRU off on interplanetary journey...This looks like an amazing mod, but I cant seem to get it working, any ideas?Lower the laser drills by pressing U or V, and time warp like x10000 for a min and BOOM, fuel!!!

WastedRhino Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Will this be updaten to 0.23? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendary Emu Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Will this be updaten to 0.23?Probably not. If you want something like this just get the Kethane mod. I'm pretty sure it does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki117 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Holy necro batman! I'd say this thread died long ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist290 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 As others have already stated, it's highly unlikely that this will be updated anytime soon. Thread locked; in the meantime, I hope you find a more up-to-date plugin that suits your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
