Jokpau Gaming · February 17, 2022

I can't seem to find the mod on ckan. Is the title the same?

Try looking for Sandcastle.

Could this work with simple construction and not EL installed? It provides all the same resources (metal, rocketparts) and uses EL's plugins. Just curious as to whether I would need to install EL too.

SimpleConstruction uses a different resource chain, however.

EL has:

MetalOre, LFO -> Metal (smelter)

Metal-> RocketParts, ScrapMetal (workshop)

ScrapMetal, LFO -> Metal (smelter)

Sandcastle has:

MetalOre, LiquidFuel -> Metal (smelter)

Metal -> RocketParts, ScrapMetal

ScrapMetal -> Metal (smelter)

SimpleConstruction has:

Ore -> Metal (ISRU)

Metal -> RocketParts (science labs)

@Angel-125, any progress on the survey cone issue? EL's own stakes are super annoying because they keep rolling away...

Hello @Angel-125! I've translated the mod in italian, you can find the GitHub Pull Request here: https://github.com/Angel-125/Sandcastle/pull/2

Let me know if everything's ok for you!

Thank you for the translation! Here is Sandcastle 1.0.7 with the translation.

Awesome! Thank you for the fast update. Regarding the mod, I'd take the opportunity to ask you two questions:

1) I love that this mod uses default stock Inventory, anyway I'm wondering if you would accept a PR regarding KIS inventory support (not required, just optional support). It's just an idea, in order to support printing of almost anything, but I'd like to know your opionin on this since you have surely a pretty good idea of possible issues.

2) I've seen the Print Shop allows to define a "speed" field, anyway it seems to that in the code it's used inverted in "handleCatchup" (https://github.com/Angel-125/Sandcastle/blob/main/source/Sandcastle/PrintShop/PartModules/WBIPrintShop.cs#L361), shouldn't it be a division? Pretty sure I didn't get it right, so take this just as a question

Sandcastle was specifically designed to work with stock inventory, so I have no plans to integrate with KIS. If you're looking for something with KIS integration, I believe there's another mod in development that does that.

This mod seems to conflict with TweakScale. Installing both of them will throw a missing DLL exception, but either one separately works fine

It's an (now) old bug on KSP itself.

When a DLL fails tp be loaded, be it by being missed, or by having a faulty or missing dependency, something inside a thingy called Assembly Resolver gets broken, and from this point everything that relies on a thingy called Reflection and also the Assembly Resolver itself starts to bork.

TweakScale makes heavy use of both thingies, and so it utterly breaks due this problem.

Since by uninstalling SandCastle TweakScale works, it is installed alright. So the logical conclusion is that SandCastle itself is missing a dependency (or the wrong one is installed), and so it's unadvertdily triggering this KSP bug,

Check if all dependencies are installed and, if you can't find what's wrong, publish your KSP.log using dropbox or something like that and we will look for the problem there.

Cheers!

I'm having trouble printing some of the parts from pathfinder, specifically the Castillo buildings and some of the inflatable buildings.

They say they need a negative amount of ore, they stay at 0% when printing, and when i exit time warp too quickly, it just freezes and i have to restart the game.

When Sandcastle is installed with SimpleConstruction! B9PartSwitcher has a conniption and leaps overboard yelling and screaming taking the entire game with it.

receiving B9 fatal errors when going to load this ---> I will put issue on GitHub shortly.

Has to do with SandCastle using the same tank names as SimpleConstruction! was already using, along with SimpleConstruction! not using scScrapMetal...

https://github.com/Angel-125/Sandcastle/issues/3

I attempted to find a way forward in B9PS.cfg but ran out of time.

Sigh, I really hate B9PS because of issues like this. I could use some help debugging this since I don't use B9PS.

TheLoneOne · March 19, 2022

real question is why he would use simple construction over the clearly gooder and based sandcastle mod (joke)

edited to clarify that I'm joking

eh i can help you change internal names there if needed to fix it...

I commiserate with you and your feelings.

I will see what I can do on my end. just probably a little bit of jigglemuckruggery with :NEEDS; probably in both mods. Then there is Not So Simple Construction, wait that doesn't use ScrapMetal either.

I have a problem, sometimes a part is duplicated on printing, and instead of one part, it is printed as many as fit into all inventories.
I wasn't able to reproduce it with reliability, it may relate to the exceptions that happens on the duplicate bug:

What part are you trying to print?

the last time it is happened with the sspx-cupola-1875-1, before that with the restock-ladder-static-3

Sandcastle 1.0.8 is now available:

- Fixed compatibility issues with Pathfinder.

You'll need Pathfinder 1.38.0. If you use Snacks, then you'll need Snacks 1.27.5 as well.

I just tested with Sandcastle 1.0.8 and Extraplanetary Launchpads 6.99.1, and it works as expected:

I had no issues dispensing the cone.

Is there some kind of youtube video to be introduced how SC and EL work together? Somehow I missed the point of understanding, how all that fancy stuff works with all those nice printer-arms etc.

No, but EL comes with a PDF manual. The Construction Manipulator is equal to the orbital construction dock, the Sandcaster is equal to a ground-based launchpad (survey station), and the Construction Marker is equal to the disposable pad. If you check the part descriptions, they should have hints about what they're based on.
