The aliens either didn't have that tech, or didn't use it on the saucers that you can find. They do have Crazy Mode, which is a precursor to warp tech. IF by some chance I can finish up the Excalibur mothership, it will have warp engines. Ok then. Somehow I got it in my head that you had just forgotten to add that code into the saucers. Jeb now has the bits needed for his orbital sculpture garden. Now if I can find the time for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooglak Kerman Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Man... this is some nice stuff @Angel-125. Very pretty. It will be interesting to retrofit and see how it offsets graviolium usage. Fusion pellets will quickly become the constraint. BTW - I'm liking the new audio effects of the warp engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If @Rakete, @Grimmas, and @Vexxel can finalize the SpaceDust configs by then, I'd appreciate it. I am stepping away from Blueshift next week and getting back to Buffalo 2. I may look at it this weekend but no promises. TBH I do not find much joy in balancing mods and I'm still far off from actually using Blueshift and SpaceDust in my career saves. You may be better off integrating or adapting Rakete's version if his numbers work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooglak Kerman Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) @Angel-125 I know this isn't your problem - but this is interesting. I did a test run with Valentinas Warp Tanker out to Nova Kirbani in a separate save - but with all up to date versions of stuff. It took a bit over 15 minutes to depart Kerbol SOI at 2.36C Spoiler And here we are in interstellar space to Nova Kerbani. Expected speed. Spoiler Then, at about the 3/4 mark to Nova Kirbani, the game started locking up for as much as a minute at a time. Any ideas at all? It feels like it's possibly to do with the game trying to keep up with the very high speed with the warp - but I just don't know. I'm running an I7-10700K with 64GB RAM and a very performant SSD dedicated to KSP so that's probably not the issue. Possibly a question for Starcrusher96?

Grimmas Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I've done the same Blueshift run to Nova Kirbani at high c and had no such issues (well, not quite true, but my issues were more like exploding when landing on planets around Nova Kirbani a). So YMMV. I have a high end PC though. Post your logs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply don't have time to fine-tune the collection rates, so I need help with that. I downloaded your latest SpaceDust config, is that the one that fills a 1500-unit tank in 70 days with SpaceDust? 70 days seems reasonable. Eeeh... i hope so. I think I will be on my computer tomorrow and will upload my current version of the config in case i changed something in detail since the last upload. Just to make sure. Unfortunately i am not on my pc right now. Here's a big thunderstorm right over my town and I got other RL stuff to do, to make the last things around here stormproof. So sorry for having to wait a few more hours, but it's gonna be a stormy night over here. A question upon the stargates.... If I activate a a portal e.g. from kerbin to Jool, is it also active in the other direction? Or do I have to make sure, that the distant gate is remote controllable to ensure the kerbals can also return home at all?

The jumpgate travel is one way, meaning that you activate the gate on your end, jump through, and the remote gate is deactivated when you arrive. To go back, you just need to activate the local gate. The control segment of a jumpgate is a probe core, though depending upon the distance to the homeworld and your game settings, it might not have a connection. But I set up the jumpgates so they can be controlled by the active vessel-and that includes a kerbal on EVA. Meanwhile, I've finished the new warp tech parts and have a bug fix for the trigger-collider issue on the jumpgate control segment. I've also uncovered an issue with SpaceDust where it can't load the config of a part that has ModuleSpaceDustHarvester patched into the part via ModuleManager. I have a fix for that and should have a pull request for @Nertea later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you use FFT. There you use LqDeuterium instead of pellets, which can be harvested in orbit. This opens up whole possibilities. Maybe give nerteas Mod suite a chance?!

Rakete Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) @Angel-125 Alright, here is my latest edit on the configs: -------> https://www.filemail.com/d/tyoxqlutlrlhwbg <------- right out of my gamedata. If I changed something after the last uploaded version it should be included in the file, I guess. :-) Sidenote: I just adjusted the values for kerbin, Jool and Eve. The GEP configs are untouched, since I didn't know, how big the planets are and if they should give extra bonuses on gravi because of their distance and so on. I'd pass this job over to GEP-users, since I can't test them right now. (Uninstalled Koperincus temporarily due to visually annoying bugs until fix). As for the Stargate: I love it! How is it supposed to be supplied/refilled with graviolium, as the gravi-tax is paid by the gate? How does it behave, if you send a kerbal without helmet eg. from Kerbin to Duna? I really like it. Since I haven't gotten to place a Stargate in Orbit yet, a stupid question: Does it close automaticly after a travel or is there a shutdown button? And for the warp-system: Is the white warp vortex always projected 10m in front of the most forward part or in a certain distance from the warp core part ? (Just visually relevant for me in order to design aesthetically pleasing crafts)... May ask a request? The settings only allow the destructive start-up if you have space anomalies enabled. Can we have the dangerous gate startup vortex (kawoosh... like in Stargate) also if we don't have space anomalies engaged and place the gates ourselves?

Push back for KSP2 to "early 2023 for PC" is less awesome. Yes, Nertea did great stuff in the past. Hope many things find their way into KSP 2. E.g. his rework of the heatsystem with the Systemheat mod and the Heat Control mod... and the whole Near Future and Far Future Mod Suite by him. I would never play KSP without them anymore. The delay of KSP2: I got mixed feelings about it. If they deliver a more bugfree version, I will be happy about the delay. A forced release is always bad for all, esp. the customers. See: Elite Dangerous Odyssey. Borked from the ground and canceled for consoles afterwards after promissing all and making players spend more money on ingame cosmetics (I play ED on console).... Broken promisses and lies - they treated us like a financial milk cow by not telling us that we are gonna be left behind and than sent us to the butcher for the sake of a better money/effort-ratio (it would have run on consoles if optimized properly - it's no visual firework, that they created compared to older games that run well on consoles). Then it's better to delay a release and only give realistic statements instead of promissing heaven and not delivering while taking money for a waiting ticket (e.g. Star Citizen, which probably will never be completed but eats RL money for many players).

Angelo Kerman Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 @Grimmas @Rakete much appreciated, thank you! This weekend I will grab that and incorporate it into Blueshift. I also need to finish up the miniature jumpgate texturing and make a platform for it. I will also make sure the destructive effects toggle is always available. The gate automatically shuts down after you travel through it. As for what happens on the other side, better wear a helmet, you are likely to go poof if you port into a vacuum. The gate doesn’t store Graviolium, hence the tanks mounted to the side. It is up to the player to find a refueling system- KAS pipes, docking ports on the vessel, and the stock grabbers come to mind. The cone-like bow wave warp effect moves as best it can to the front of the vessel. It isn’t perfect so it will need experimentation. @SkyFall2489 Done! Without Kerbal Flying Saucers it is just a decorative piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakete Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) @Angel-125 Is it possible to ask a wish? For FFT-Users: We use LqDe instead of pellets. That's great, since we can use the fusion ressources we already harvest in FFT and it fits nicely in the FFT-environment by Nertea. Thanks for that! I love it... Buuuut: This is the smallest LqDeut-Tank we have in FFT: Not very streamlined for Mk2-Ships, right ? Can you provide/change a patch, that gives us one of your MK2 Fusionpellet tanks and turns them into a LqDeuterium storage, if we have FFT installed? The shown tank holds 1250 LqDe. So for a re-used Mk2 Pellet tank I would suggest 500-1000 LqDe for FFT-Users (depending on the length of your tank). Also: I think I found a little bug. The max warpspeed prediction sometimes doesn't meet the values if you port this vehicle into space - even if you play around with the supercharger in the VAB. Maybe it would also be a good a idea to show three diferent max warp speeds: Planetary, Interplanetary and interstellar in the PAW? Just suggestions.

Rakete Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) @Angel-125 Bugreport: between medium and severe, type: calculations. I guess I could confirm this after serveral fiddling around in the vab: Look at the max warp speed values in tha VAB: The supercharger makes no difference. Now in the real world: Without supercharger: No warp at all with full throttle (Max Warp = 0,000)! With supercharger 7x higher warp speed than predicted in the VAB. I guess there is a bug around ;-) The in tha VAB shown max warp factor doesn't match neither the speed in planetary SOI nor the interplanetary speed. It can't be the interstellar speed, as it would be even higher. So I guess, the MaxWarp-Calculation in the VAB/SPH has a bug. Atm it has nothing to do with the "reality" in the game. Maybe you can have a look at it before the next release drops? The needed testrig-ship is as simple as shown: Commandpod of your choice (This one is from Nerteas NF Spacecraft Mod, but the stock one will do also) and some toys on it, warp core, coil, Deut/Pellet tank, done.
