[1.12.5] Supplementary Electric Engines


Recommended Posts

Minor update with some improvements to VAB Organizer integration and a couple of bugfixes/tweaks.

Supplementary Electric Engines v1.3.1

Vab Organizer support changes:

  • Arcjets and Resistojets now get their own "Electrothermal Engines" subcategory when using VAB Organizer.
  • Caesium fuel tanks now get their own "Caesium Fuel" subcategory when using VAB Organizer.
  • When Near Future Propulsion is installed, Pulsed Plasma Thrusters get moved from the Ion Engines subcategory to the Plasma Engines subcategory when using VAB Organizer.
  • When Near Future Propulsion is installed, the Resistojet RCS gets moved into the Ion/Plasma RCS subcategory.
  • Adjusted the Fudge's bulkhead size such that it shows up as 0.3125m instead of 0.625m when using Vab Organizer.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed a typo in the Gumdrop's variant menu.

Part changes:

  • Sorbet's ISP buffed to 14,000 (previously 10,200. The engine was too similiar to the HI-SNAP from NFP in terms of ISP, while providing a worse thrust-to-power ratio).

Added System Heat configs, and a few minor tweaks and fixes.

Supplementary Electric Engines v1.3.2

Added System Heat configs:

  • KO-A1 "Teacake"
        Loop temperature: 350 K
        Waste heat: 4 kW (8 kW input power, 50% thermal efficiency)
  • KO-A2 "Gumdrop"
        Loop temperature: 350 K
        Waste heat: 16 kW (32 kW input power, 50% thermal efficiency)
  • KO-F1 "Sorbet"
        Loop temperature: 350 K
        Waste heat: 11 kW (55 kW input power, 80% thermal efficiency)

Other engines were calculated to have produced less than 2 kW of waste heat, which was deemed too small to be worth it.

Optimised the collision meshes for these parts:

  • KO-22 "Pancake"
  • KO-33 "Waffle"
  • KO-RR Resistojet RCS
  • KO-R1 "Fudge"
  • KO-R2 "Toffee"
  • CS-R1 Liquid Caesium Tank

Minor tweaks:

  • Added a collider to the Toffee's shroud, since it didn't have one previously.
  • Fixed the Toffee's 0.625m mount being offset vertically by like 1 millimetre.
  • Added a collider to the Gumdrop's 1.25m mount, since it didn't have one previously.

Updated relations:

  • Added Near Future Propulsion to Suggested
  • Added System Heat to Supports
