I use kerbalism. I leave dynamicbattery storage away because as far as I know it  it is only for timewarp right? Any of the Near Future or FFT will run no problem without or will I end up with problems ive not found yet?

Commenting for awareness, pretty sure it's from the Waterfall update as now there is a .dll missing for TweakScale compatablity that casues huge lag in the VAB/SPH

Bug report :happy:

The huge antimatterdrive frisbee has once staged and used once still waterfall effects even if throttled to zero. Just for completeness. Issue was also present in fft 1.2.

Any plans for the Medusa variant of Orion? Since a deployable parachute would be freed from the concerns of fitting in the VAB it could make use of hydrogen bombs and get some actually good ISP, maybe enough to go interstellar. Like how the NSWR has an upgraded variant.

Also could the nuke tanks be separate from the frame so they can be decoupled?

The new Orion drive is great! I just wish I could retract it during launch instead of having to be fully extended in a stack.

Well, one thing I can see is that the stats for the two new RCS blocks make no sense.

At least, the stats visible by rightclicking them in the pats list in the editor. Because I looked into the definition files, and the stats within the B9Partswitch group do seem to make sense. But each of the thruster blocks also has a separate ModuleRCSFX, presumably for the editor to be able to show something, and that one has numbers which don't reflect each part's actual performance.

On the ARC-L, the editor shows the thrust and power draw of the lithium mode, but the Isp of the hydrogen mode.
On the ARC-µ, the editor shows ten times the thrust it should have (equal to the ARC-L).

Also, the release notes say that the ARC-µ should use "10kW" of power, and the ARC-L "100kW". Meanwhile, the editor shows 100 EC/s for the ARC-µ, and 60 EC/s for the ARC-L. Regardless of what conversion rate between EC/s and kW one uses, those numbers don't line up :P

Updated my PR. (Honestly probably all of these tiny changes need to be rebased, but I'll let Nertea handle that if/how he wants.) Thruster EC consumption naturally displays correctly now (it was correct in flight anyway).

Feel free to double-check me by trying these changes yourself. There's no balance tweaks, just editor stuff.

Sorry I didn't see your PR until I'd already fixed in dev :( thanks though.

  • Medusa I will probably not do, but never say never. It's a really edge case engine that drives too much of the core vessel design to make me want to do it
  • Implementing the ejecting tanks I considered during development, but did not do because it adds a ton of complexity for an extremely minor, principally visual benefit.

To resolve this, if you're using Tweakscale/L, ensure you're using the most up to date releases.

FFT 1.4.1

  • Updated Waterfall to 0.10.3
  • Fixed the VAB tooltip displays for the new RCS blocks
  • Fixed missing VAB descriptions for the new RCS blocks
  • Fixed an effect that was on at all throttle levels for the Frisbee
  • Tuned the Frisbee effects to add a bit more visual flair to the flare ;)

Seeing as you've gone back on what you said previously and decided to add an Orion Drive, would the Daedalus engine be a future consideration?

Also I have a few ideas on possible 'far future' additions!

1. I was reading on the Atomic Rockets website, and it talks about a 'Pulsed Solid-Core Nuclear Thermal Rocket.' I thought this might be a possible addition, given it's high ISP (optimistically 1 000 000 seconds!) , although I have no idea whether this should be in Kerbal Atomics, given it being a nuclear thermal engine, whist also having ridiculous ISP. =P

2. Maybe a thermal engine of some sort. You could toggle which propellant it would use, trading stats like specific impulse, thrust, fuel cost and such depending on which one is used. It would obviously output heat, but given the fact its a thermal  engine, I'm not sure as to what extent you'd need to cool it before you start losing thrust and ISP

3.  More radiator options! Dusty plasma radiators, maybe? large scale graphene heat radiators to save precious part count on the more heat intensive engines (Frisbee, Cascade,  ect) and inline radiators and coolant tanks, which would make using the Ouroboros more effective. Currently, you'd either have to use a lot of radiators or a lot of coolant tanks, which would hurt aerodynamics.

Thanks for reading, btw.

A lot of those parts (Daedalus, thermal engines, some radiators) can be found in the wonderful Sterling Systems mod, which has some level of interplay between itself and FFT. It contains several fancy radiators but quite a few of the ones you've described are also in the Heat Control mod which is designed to be complimentary to FFT. I'd definitely recommend installing it if you haven't done so already.

I'm very well familiar with the mod. I think it is great. Even then, I would love to see Nertea's take on them such concepts. I've had issues with Sterling systems, but it is to be expected as it's pre-release, and i fully realize that.

Yes, I have it installed. FFT comes bundled with heat control. I now realize that if I do want to make  suggestions, it should be on that mod's page, now that I think about it. Well, can't change the past!

I don't mind suggestions being here, I can track them well enough. Heat Control has a fairly comprehensive plan that just needs to be executed. Problem is its quite... dry and boring to work on: https://github.com/post-kerbin-mining-corporation/HeatControl/issues/48

The reasons for not doing Orion were related to KSP2 doing it as a first class system and my lack of confidence in my execution. I got around those by spending a few months working on the support stuff (particles, animation drivers, etc). The reasons for not doing Daedulus are different, it's about scale and visual appeal. Like VISTA it's kinda just too big for KSP and I don't really like scaling things down that much.

Now that I think about it, the only way to feasibly incorporate such an engine would be some sort of orbital construction, using either segments that would be joined together or the use of specialized parts kits with an assembler of some sort. I know there are mods that do things similar to build and expand surface colonies and such, but I don't think it would work well to have all these parts, just to make one engine.

I've seen a number of recent posts from folks having trouble gathering liquid hydrogen but no solutions as yet so I thought I'd post my issue with it as well now that the forum is back up.

Using:
KSP 1.12.5
FFT 1.4.2.0
SpaceDust 0.54.0
SystemHeat 0.7.2.0
Cryotanks 1.6.6.0
HeatControl 0.6.2.0

Here's what I see in flight with the PK-EXP "Bussard" Particle Scoop (fft-exosphere-scoop-1)

Screenshot-2024-10-29-172752.png

If I'm interpreting the numbers correctly, the scoop is seeing 4.25E-13 u/s LqdHydrogen and the minimum for collection is 1E-20 u/s (as per the part config).

Unless I'm misremembering how to convert scientific notation to real numbers, that's 0.000000000000425 u/s LqdHydrogen, considerably more than the 0.00000000000000000001 u/s minimum for needed for collection.

The info box seems to be saying that the harvester is working, but nothing is being added to the half empty tanks regardless of how long I let it run. I've tried the scoop with other gasses and it seems to work with them. Am I missing something obvious here?

Based on your screenshot, you're using an outdated version of the mod. This conflicts with what you've listed as versions - the UI in Space Dust > 0.5.0 shows the PAW descriptions in mass per time, not units per time. Ensure FFT and all its dependencies are up to date - try a reinstall if needed.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The listed versions came from the version files in each folder, but I just deleted and reinstalled FFT with all it's included dependencies from a freshly downloaded copy from Spacedock and the PAW description still says "u/s".  I even launched a new copy of the ship in a sandbox to double check.

The only thing I noticed when comparing what I had to the new copy was that the version of SpaceDust I originally had was the standalone one from SpaceDock (which was labeled 0.5.4, the same as the one in the FFT archive) but the file dates on it were 10/9, where the dates on the SpaceDust files in the FFT archive are 10/18. It doesn't seem to have made a difference though.

The 0.5.4 version from SpaceDock was the first version of SpaceDust I ever installed, so I don't believe anything could be left over from an older version.

Some additional troubleshooting:

Even after the re-install, the harvester itself is showing all the resources in u/s. The scanners and the map screen info are in u/m3.

I set up an atmospheric processor from the base SpaceDust parts and it also listed the resources in u/s, although both the OX and Argon present did harvest as expected.

Screenshot-2024-10-30-111244.pngScreenshot-2024-10-30-111433.png

 

I found this line in the English localization, which looks like it should be the UI line used for the Resource PAW lines. Possibly the mod's code is not reading it and dropping back to an internal default?

    #LOC_SpaceDust_ModuleSpaceDustHarvester_Field_Scoop_Resource = <b><<1>></b>: <<2>> t/s
