Description

Preamble by @strideknight

This mod installs a KloneKabin, KuddleShack, and Academy that you can use to replicate and train new Civilian (kerbals) wherever you feel like.

Kloning, Kuddling, and Teaching require a fair amount of electricity, and other resources. You can also change the requirements via Module Manager patches.

There is a small chance for a freakish accident to occur, both positive and negative results can occur. This is experimental technology after all. :) Note: a failed kloning process has a very LOW chance to kill every kerbal inside the KloningKabin. The deceased may or may not respawn back at the KSC depending upon your game and difficulty settings. You can adjust or even disable accidents with Module Manager Patches.

In either case, you can just quicksave before operating.

Features

  • No extra parts
  • No RAM usage
  • Uses Module Manager to add functionality to stock parts
  • Simple, configurable and adds levels of depth to the gameplay without a learning curve
  • Includes an upgrade to the stock Science Lab from two to six seats (including the IVA)
  • Community Trait Icon configs are included.

MoarKerbals adds functionality to the following parts:

  • Kloning
    • Science Lab
    • mk1 Crew Cabin
    • mk3 Crew Cabin
    • mk2 Lander Can
  • Kuddling
    • Hitchhiker's
    • mk2 Crew Cabin
  • Academy
    • Cupola
    • mk1 Lander Can
    • Science Lab

Cabin notes

  • There are dedicated parts for this addon, and they are available under 'MoarKerbalsParts'
  • Future Plans: lol. Except compatibility patches, keep it working with future KSP updates.
  • Community Tech Tree integration and Tech Tree Balancing (need feedback and assistance)
  • I have not personally tested the patches
  • Have a request? Glad to have them, kindly submit through GitHub.
  • Want to add support for life support and colony mods. Drop a patch through GitHub to have it included. :D

It requires a large amount of electricity to operate, and @strideknight always played with Roverdude's MKS and TAC's Life Support, so it automatically integrates with them to require Biomass or other materials. Also, [strideknight] included configs for the Community Tech Tree. Both require ModuleManager to integrate.

MoarKerbals was inspired by @strideknight's desire to have a small colony of kerbals living in zeppelins around Jool who populate the planet, evolve their own society, and then to go to war with the "grounders" back on Kerbin.

This was @strideknight's first mod and it runs fine, so let me know if you find any bugs. All constructive feedback/suggestions are also welcome. Enjoy!

Known issue

If you use a third party mod to transfer kerbals, like ShipManifest, the PAW/RMB might have ghost listings until a the vessel is reloaded.

HELP WANTED - See the README in the Localization folder for instructions for adding or improving translations. GitHub push is the best way to contribute. Additions and corrections solicited and welcome!

Oh @zer0Kerbal you're just the best. Thank you for this.

 

Testing on my 1.7.3 install. Please have a version backdated to 1.7.3 when you update. The new versions don't like my potatoe laptop, I keep getting Unity crashes at startup so sticking with 1.7.3 until I get a new laptop.

 

you are welcome.

I have added kloneSchool (ability to convert 'colonists' into random (scientist, engineer pilot).

I plan on getting everything done, release to 1.7.3; then immediately recompile for 1.8.1; release and then immediately recompile for 1.9.1 and stay there. At that time I will add the localization code.

I don't need any additional features for kloneSchool - just install FTF and or FTL (Field Training Facility/FieldTrainingLab)

This is being designed to work hand-in-hand with SimpleLife.

news: progress made.

the following items are working enough to push out a release (shortly)

  • Kloning (all klones now start out as civilians (or can be set to random)
  • Academy (can affect one part or the entire vessel, and no more amnesia)
  • Kuddling (still a black box - see issues for more)

I got sidetracked by Kribbles.... almost everything is working except minor details (one or two localizer strings) and the kuddleshack. I broke it when I added a master on/off switch.

still on deck:

Track progress here; issues here; discuss here.

Parts have been moved into their own mod; many reasons for this. More soon. Look for 'MoarKerbalsParts'

Everything should now be working. took only 258 builds but it is working. :D

v1.2.99.258 (pre) release will be released to CurseForge once I update the documentation. MoarKerbalsParts should be almost immediately follow with the updated part.configs.

@zer0Kerbal can I write a MM patch that makes it so that Kerbals need some stock resource other than just EC to be created?

@AtomicTechyes you could.

This version requires (subject to change after prerelease):

KloningKabin:

Spoiler
  • Resources
    • ElectricCharge: 8,000
    • Oxidizer: 100
    • Ore: 150
  • Currency (depends upon if Career or Science)
    • Funds: 15,000
    • Reputation: 2
    • Science: 1

Kuddling:

Spoiler
  • Resources
    • ElectricCharge: 10,000
    • MonoPropellant: 100
    • Ore: 100
  • Currency (depends upon if Career or Science)
    • Funds: 10,000
    • Reputation: 2

Academy:

Spoiler
  • Resources
    • ElectricChange: 5,000
    • LiquidFuel: 50
    • Ore : 50
  • Currency (depends upon if Career or Science)
    • Funds: 5,000
    • Reputation: 2
    • Science: 1

The reason these cost :rep:is because the game gives positive :rep: for each kerbal recruited (amongst other reasons)

If you wanted to write a Module Manager patch to change anything, well here is some boilerplate to help:

Spoiler 
// KloneKabin.cfg v1.0.0.0
// MoarKerbals (MOAR)
// created: 15 Nov 2020
// updated: 

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[KuddleShack]]:NEEDS[MoarKerbals]:AFTER[MoarKerbals]
{
	@MODULE[KuddleShack]
	{
		initiateAction = #MOAR-KUD // Complete Kuddling!

		!recipeIngredients {}
		!recipeAmounts {}
		recipeIngredients = ElectricCharge, MonoPropellant, Ore
		recipeAmounts = 8000, 100, 100

		// recipe currency costs (defaults to 0 if not included)
		@costFunds = 10000
		@costScience = 0
		@costReputation = 2

		//Determines whether accidents happen or not, can range from 0.0 (to disable) to 1.0 (occurs every time) (double)
		@accidentRate = 0.15

		@allowOrbital = true
		@allowSplashedOrLanded = true
	}
}

// CC BY-SA 3.0
// zer0Kerbal

 

Just change the Module to KuddleShack/KloneBay/KerbalRecruitment (these might change before the final release)
