I am experiencing an issue with kerbalism+near future electrics. More specifically, the nuclear reactors don't produce electric charge. There is an option to turn the reactor on, but although heat is produced the reactors don't produce electricity. They don't even show up in the planner. I also have system heat installed, so that may be causing some issues.

i've been using kerbalism + near future electrics without issues, the reactor work as they should.

other mods may cause the problems

So running the mod Kerbalism.

1. I want to comfirm with others that the Delta numbers on the pic are correct? Does it really take 4900 Delta just to LKO. I am early game and finding it damn near impossible to escape Kerbin SOI. I have a 1000+ hours in this game and this mod is killing me! I love it though.
2. The data that Navball provides for node burn and also the staging stack info DO NOT match what Kerbal Engineering shows. The numbers are ALL wrong from the staging stack and the node burn times. Is there a setting that I am missing since I am running Kerbalism?

kerbalism does not change the rocket mechanics nor the planetary mechanics. your ships are going to be heavier due to life support necessities - a lot heavier if you plan longer missions - but the deltaV required is always the same, roughly 3400 m7s for LKO.

the image you posted clearly refers to some planetary pack, which has absolutely nothing to do with kerbalism.

i do believe you may have the wrong mod here.

How do you manage the flow of oxygen between parts of a vehicle? I put a fuel cell and 2 pressurized tanks, one with oxygen and one with hydrogen. When I turn the fuel cell on, it draws all of the oxygen from the command pod and drains that before starting to use the oxygen from the tank. I'd like to configure it to prioritize draining the tank first. At the least, I'd like to be able to manually transfer oxygen from the tank to the pod. The tank is on a part that gets jettisoned before reentry, so poor Jeb struggles to breathe on the way down.

I'm using stock KSP 1.12.5.3190, Kerbalism 3.19, and a few mods:

- Kerbalism-Config-Default 3.19
+ CommunityResourcePack v112.0.1
+ Harmony2 2.2.1.0
- KerbalChangelog v1.4.2
- KerbalEngineerRedux 1.1.9.0
+ KSPCommunityFixes 1.35.0
- KSPRescuePodFix 1.6.4.14
- MechJeb2 2.14.3.0
+ ModuleManager 4.2.3

i never had any problem tranfering oxygen, or any other resource, between parts. i never worried about consumption priority, so i can't say about that.

you really should be able to transfer it between tanks like fuel or any other resource. if you can't, it could be a bug

Thanks for confirming that I should expect it to work - I wasn't sure if it was a Kerbalism thing, since I've just started using it. I worked out the problem - when I did a clean reinstall of KSP I hadn't remembered to enable "advanced tweakables" in the settings. Once I did that I was able to set the flow priority and manually transfer oxygen.

What config should I play with if I play from a real solar system but without realism overhaul?

i played with rss and kerbalism without changing anything.

of course, going to orbit is going to be exceedingly difficult with stock parts, but that's not a kerbalism problem

я играл с rss и кербализмом, ничего не меняя.

конечно, со штатными деталями выйти на орбиту будет чрезвычайно сложно, но это не проблема кербализма

The only thing that confuses me in the usual config is radiation, which is not particularly suitable for the real solar system

why not?

i ran a full grand tour of it, radiations were no more of a problem than in previous runs. less of a problem, actually, because i had more experience dealing with them. the only real bother way, i could not land a crew in the inner moons of saturn because of too many radiations. but few people use kerbalism to send a crew on saturn anyway.

you may refer to the fact that travel times are longer while radiation exposure is the same, but if properly handled, radiation can be virtually nullified for most situation. so if the mission is longer it doesn't really matter

Thanks for the answers, maybe I'll try again with the real solar system. Now I'm trying to learn principia in the Kerbal system

How can I change the keybinds for this mod? I use the numpad for RCS and it keeps toggling the radiation belts when I'm in the map.

Do you know how to use a science mode for kerbalism 3.19?

[moyashii]

Is there even a way to look at "science reports" anymore with this mod enabled? I miss reading them and couldn't figure out a way, other than before they're transmitted and through the logs (though it gets cluttered there REAL fast, so it becomes impossible as well).

Science Archive still works.

Yeah, I can see "experiments" there, but not the actual report of the science experiment itself. Describing the situation and such with flair (i.e about space having no atmosphere from the barometer for example). Or am I being dumb and missing some button somewhere in there?

[somearthling]

I'm not sure how/why but I'm unable to get Science right from the start. A look at the kerbalism science log says I've recovered around 10 science, but I only have 4 science and am unable to progress. Is this a known bug/mod conflict or am I doing something wrong?

IIRC there is a green button on each experiment "bar" or something that opens the experiment text.  I'll try and grab a screenshot shortly.

How to automatically transfer data from science instruments to pod (or any place where is enough space to save them)?

[bigyihsuan]

I'm trying to run a SCANSAT AltLoRes scanner, but for some reason the scan keeps stopping because of not enough data storage space. I have a Communotron 16 on the vessel.

Is there a way to see the amount of data the scanner is generating? How can I make sure the scans are being transmitted?

This is the error message it's spitting out:

 

EDIT: It seems to be working fine after turning on the scan, then leaving to the KSC//Tracking Station. Though, I'm getting "Not enough EC" warnings even though I left it pointing at the sun.

Communotron 16 might be okay, but kerbalism deines how much data can be transmitted, so speed of the upload/download, and probe cores have a limited storage space.

If the craft goes into the shadow of the planet then kerbalism's background processing will take that into account and you may not have enough storage.

Using the VAB kerbalism planner (for craft, not the scoence archive) by clicking on various parts of the UI you can see how much power is beong generated and consumed.  In the VAB you can also see how this would look in shadow... you may find that your battery only lasts a few minutes in shadow.

You can also turn off these warnings in flight.  Using the kerbalism planner from the in flight toolbar, one of the tabs allows you to turn off warnings.

[bigyihsuan]

I'm also having problems with ships (seemingly) not generating power after leaving to the space center or tracking station. This is even when the power generation is perpetual, with nothing turned on but an antenna, with plenty of solar panels and battery to last the night. Why is this?

are the solar panels deployed and oriented correctly towards the sun when you leave the vessel?

Yes. They have sun-tracking also.

[Gnarf]

Hey, I've got the problem that all solar panels stop collecting power as soon as I go back to the space centre. I'd like to ask whether that's WAD or whether there is a fix for that, considering that this makes manned interplanetary travel rather hard
