Rutabaga22 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Will we be getting a body piece for RCS? I see that mentioned in the phase 3 plans. Edited October 26, 2022 by Rutabaga22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's been cancelled. The existing RCS in the game works well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutabaga22 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 What happened to those yellow variants? They were mentioned in one post and never again AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutabaga22 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Basealo 1 has been delivered south of the runway. The pallet positions itself beneath the second module. I seem to have had a kraken attack when they docked. Yeah, I just have wild kraken attacks when I dock them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Today I built the new B2 Jack Lift. This part is designed to help players build rovers in the field. Just drop one of these on the ground, attach a chassis, raise the jack lift, and attach the wheels and such. Here's a look: The last part that I made is the B2 Gripper Pad. It's like the grip strips from the Breaking Ground DLC, but they are sized for the Buffalo 2 rover body, and they have the extra added ability to double as a heat shield (and even shield the part they're attached to). Here's a look: Anyway, that completes Buffalo 2 v1.4: Loose Ends, and completes Phase 2! Here's the breakdown for 1.4, you can download it here: Changes - Added new Alt variants to the B2 Trailer Frame. New Parts - B2 Body Docking Port: This specialized docking port is designed to dock rover bodies together. - B2 Gripper Pad: This part provides grip support for rovers (well, rover bodies resting on the ground) and some heat protection. - B2 Jack Lift: This part helps players build rovers in the field. - B2 Passenger Module: This short-length module seats a pair of kerbals in relative comfort. - Beta 2 Gravitic Engine: This engine combines the GND-00 "Beta" Gravitic Engine from Kerbal Flying Saucers with a short Buffalo 2 body module. It won't be available unless Kerbal Flying Saucers is installed. - Buffalight: This wide-beam light can pivot up and down, change color, and even blink if needed. Phase 3 is the final phase of development for Buffalo 2. It will contain the submarine parts 3 hours ago, Rutabaga22 said: Basealo 1 has been delivered south of the runway.

Angelo Kerman Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Today I created the B2 Short Aquarium Module. This will only be available if you have SunkWorks installed. This module works best with the latest Snacks installed. If you have Snacks, then you can turn on the Fishing converter within the module and go fishing. Every 6 hours, your Aquarium Module will attempt to catch Fish as long as your vessel is in the water on a planet with an oxygenated atmosphere (Kerbin and Laythe count). With Snacks Stress enabled, the Fishing activity will reduce Stress. And if you have a B2 Galley installed, you can Make Sushi to turn Fish into Snacks (making sushi will also reduce Stress). Finally, the part has an integrated ballast tank. Anyway, here's a look: The aquarium module kicks off Buffalo 2 v1.5: Sunken Treasures, and you can download the pre-release here.

Rutabaga22 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Are the peepers placeholder or is kerbin 4546B>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo 2 has a lot of art influences from Subnautica. And yes, there will be a bioreactor part to convert Fish into Liquid Fuel to power the sub's fuel cells...

Angelo Kerman Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Another thing I'm working on: next update will make it so that you can catch Fish without the need for Snacks installed. That's because the Bioreactor will need Fish to turn into LiquidFuel. Also, I'm adding a station variant, and the aquarium can breed fish without the need to be in an ocean and catching fish.

Kerbin has become 4546b. Now you have to change Mun's orbit to geostationery and make Minmus closer and have a polar orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyFall2489 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 @Angel-125, I thought there was something about a B2 Smelter module at some point. When will that be made? All the other base parts are done. If it takes too long to make a smelter, maybe just clone the converter support unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a look: My dreams come true. Is it a robotic part that can be used to lift and secure a rover inside the (space)plane or dropship to avoid RUD due to wheel - cargobay collisions? upd: I see the PAW window, no is isn't. Still need to use 2 clumsy-wobbly small alligator hinges to secure a rover inside the cargobay and get it airborne again Edited October 28, 2022 by Manul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Today I built the B2 Fuel Cell Module. This part generates Electric Charge from either Liquid Fuel and Oxidizer, or Liquid Fuel and Intake Air. It has a couple of snorkels to pull in IntakeAir (they shut off underwater), and it has an integrated ballast control system (if SunkWorks is installed). It comes in Tapered, Inline, and Station variants. Here's a look: And some context: This part is available in the latest pre-release, along with the updates to the B2 Aquarium Module and the new fish tank part.
