SimpleConstruction! (SCON) Stock rocket building

[Kerbal Productions]

@zer0Kerbalokay, seemed to work, but UI is still the same with ordinary EL, except SC functions... I just slammed the files on the SC zip file on GameData.

Had to say it, welcome to a new page!

[Kaa253]

I just installed this mod for the first time into an already in progress game. I did find one problem (which is very fair, its clearly labeled as pre-release) in that on attempting to load my saved game it reported that ships would be lost on account of missing parts. The parts concerned were the ore tanks. 

In Tanks.cfg I think maybe this code here is renaming the parts. Does it need to? The cloning of these tanks for Metal and RocketParts does need new names but is this necessary for the vanilla ore tank?

@PART[SmallTank,LargeTank,RadialOreTank]:NEEDS[SimpleConstruction]:FOR[SimpleConstruction]
{
	@name ^= :$:-ore:
	@title ^= :$: (Ore):
}

Anyway, I have B9PartSwitch so I just removed the Tanks.cfg as I don't need really this cloning to happen at all.

I don't seem to have the microstrutpad part, should I have that?

I would like to have the survey stakes i.e. Not So SimpleConstruction but is this possible without KIS? After stock EVA construction I have gone away from using KIS.

Edit: It looks like the survey stakes have been adapted to work without KIS already in EL. Copied them across and going to give them a try.

Update

[Kaa253]

I don't think it was smelting metal with the ISRUs.
I think ISRU.cfg needs to be HAS[#ConverterName[Mono*]] like this...

@PART[*ISRU*,Smelter*]:NEEDS[LaunchPad,SimpleConstruction]:FOR[SimpleConstruction]
{
	+MODULE[ModuleResourceConverter]:HAS[#ConverterName[Mono*]]
	{
		@ConverterName = Metal

It probably worked okay only if Karbonite is installed.

Sorry, I don't really know how to do the GitHub pull request thingy.

Thank you @Kaa253 +1

Short answer - no it shouldn't be.

will look into it now.

The Short List

@zer0Kerbal 

 

I will be releasing a new pre-release to CurseForge in the next 24-48 hours that will fix this, and will include a `ghostpart.cfg` patch to attempt and not disrupt on going games.

I think I might of found a bug but might try reinstalling. The bug is that I can't access VAB, SPH and Tracking station I can access astronaught complex but I can get out of it and I can't quit to menu, I will try and reinstall the mod and see if it still causing it if it is causing it I will get a video of it for the best as I can.

I always skip reading important stuff I will delete the existing simple construction and the extraplanetry launch pads it comes with and re installing it to see if it fixes it

best way to get the KSP.log is .zip/.rar/.7z it up - and drop it into a dropbox, or here: https://github.com/zer0Kerbal/SimpleConstruction/issues (create an issue, then drag drog the vid link and KSP.log / or its archive)

[Bug  ]: KPBS Smelter not heating #63 github

Quote

@histaloniaWhen using this with Kerbal Planetary Base Systems (KPBS), I found everything worked great except the Smelter. The smelter was not heating, and had 2 heat core settings. (thus only 6% production)

Incoming Release.

I don't know - and if you mean does it allow the construction of PSS buidlings et al - again, I don't know.  Kindly try and tell me.

[tremonthedgehog]

What I'm trying to say is kerbal planetary surface structures has a science lab I'm wondering if that science lab can produce metal or do I have to use the mobile processing lab

Are you referring to Kerbal Planetary Base Systems (KBPS)? Yes, all parts that have [ModuleScienceLab] should be able to produce Rocket Parts from Metal; if you want to produce Metal from Ore you need ISRU or the PPBS Smelter will also do it.

I really need to update the OP with the current readme.

Edited March 17, 2022 by zer0Kerbal
forgot to say 'smelter'; let's hear you say Kerbal Planetary Base System's Smelter ten times really fast!

thank you so much

Thank you for the bug report @eightiesboi!  Along with the great explanation and logs! +1

 

[Bug  ]: ELxxxSkill Log Spam #84 github

yes, that is a tiny bug.  
although albeit the tinier the bug, the more annoying it can be.

 

so the TL;DR is:

getting this:

want this:

Had this one quashed - it is a simple issue with the module manager patch - 

currently the patch reads like this:

Spoiler

@EXPERIENCE_TRAIT[Pilot]
{
	EFFECT
	{
		%name = ELSurveySkill
	}
}

@EXPERIENCE_TRAIT[Engineer]
{
	EFFECT
	{
		%name = ELConstructionSkill
	}
}

 

 

it should read like this:

Spoiler

@EXPERIENCE_TRAIT[Pilot]
{
	EFFECT
	{
		name = ELSurveySkill
	}
}

@EXPERIENCE_TRAIT[Engineer]
{
	EFFECT
	{
		name = ELConstructionSkill
	}
}

 

 

Incoming Release.

 

yes, this is a tiny can of bug spray

This is PRE-RELEASE - and WILL break saves

Quick question, what does this mean exactly? Installing it will break saves, or changes later on will break saves?

Is there a list of issues for the non-prerelease version? CKAN tells me mod ver 1:4.0.2.7 is not compatible with the current KSP version.

in this case, SCON is using a pre-release (beta) version of Launchpads.dll from @taniwha Extraplanetary Launchpads. It has been very stable, but I always attach the disclaimer to delete entire add-on (down to the floorboards and folders) before installing a new one because files change, file names change, etc. Duplicate files cause issues.

I attempt to not break saves, but still, it can happen - so this is the very loud caveat emptor.

as far as being compatible with current KSP version - YMMV - however it has been generally lacking in cantankerousness and contentiousness in that department.

@hyperflare

Further, less zippy reply.

When authors release add-ons, especially with add-ons that add code to the game (usually through dll libraries (yes, that is an oxymoron)); they are loathe to say that it will work for any version except for the one it was compiled for because often a new release of the game will break add-ons (not the other way around).

Authors aren't fortune tellers, nor do they have crystal balls - so they often limit the .version file to listing compatibility with the version of the game the add-on was compiled against. This doesn't mean the add-on isn't compatible; rather once the add-on is released, the .version file is set in stone; at least without another release. 

CKAN uses the .version file to determine what to say and how to act concerning compatibility.  Doesn't mean it isn't compatible with a newer version of the game either. Rather a case of Schrödinger's cat, in being that until you try for yourself, in your specific use case, you won't know.

Personally I generally won't release a new version of an add-on just to say it's compatible.

Kindly remember that add-on authors are players of this wonderful game (thank you @Squad) and volunteers; they aren't paid to make these glorious add-ons. Since they are players they are loathe to even accidentally break game saves; hence the over abundance of caution.

Hope this is a better explanation.
