[Safarte]

Version 0.2.1 released!

• Enhancement: Made the code completely modular with regards to LS resources present to enable further moddability (documentation TBD)

I love this mod!

[dansiegel30]

However, be aware of an open bug on the mod, where KLSS breaks down at +10,000 timewarp - if you have infinite water/O2, you will then see water/O2 begin to drop and WasteWater/CO2 increase (normally if you have infinite water/O2 in the planner, and the converters stay on ALL the time, you should NEVER see wastewater or CO2 appear, as its converted immediately back into useable resources).  The Kerbals will then all die.

Well done!  This first chance to mod a mod is coming!

I'm a fan of fewer resources to deal with, like combining Food and Water together, and then O2 to Air to keep balancing the mass changes from O2 to Co2 and Food/Water to Waste.  How easy would it be to mod your mod to swap out the resources?

 

Congrats on release!

I'll have to check this mod out in more detail soon, but I'm with @theJesuit with simplfying the rescource requirements. I'd also suggest that Oxygen = Ox and try to integrate with the game base 18 supplies as much as possible then start making your own (as air = oxygen + nitrogen sort of idea). That way its more universal across all parts and not KLSS specific parts (and parts made only to support KLSS as people start to roll out their own life support mods).

Hmm I think all 3 Food, Water & Oxygen resources will bring each interesting gameplay challenges once we have colonies and resource gathering so I am not currently planning on modifying the base set of life-support resources in KLSS, I'm however slowly making sure that my mod is as modular as possible to enable third-party patches that modify the base resources.

And as the new stock resource come along with future milestones I'll make sure to integrate my mod well with them to avoid duplication yeah (however one step to avoid duplication has already been achieved by using Community Resources, a mod that aims at centralizing modded resources).

 

Unrelated, a quick teaser for a new part coming in the next version of KLSS:

A M-size Food container, inspired by the Cygnus resupply spacecraft.

And a bigger teaser for the upcoming new parts:

Spoiler

Inline M-size as well as radial XS-size containers for all three base resources (Food, Water & Oxygen respectively)

[dansiegel30]

Nice!  Great job on making it fairly obvious if the part is food, water, or O2.  We need tiny parts to fill up those Service Modules.

[Safarte]

And because 6 new parts isn't enough I'm working on 3 more, here is a teaser for one of those:

M-size radial triangular containers inspired by the announcement trailer, here for Food.

Version 0.3.0 released!

• Added: XS-size radial life-support containers
• Added: M-size inline life-support containers
• Added: M-size radial life-support containers
• Balancing: Removed Water & Oxygen recyclers from the External Command Seat
• Balancing: Set the amount of life-support resources for the External Command Seat to 1 day (same as EVA)
• Balancing: Modified some other life-support containers values

Spoiler

Good job on this new version! Downloading it now

Could we have a gallery with all the parts ? I like seing parts before installing a mod. Even tho I already installed it

Seems very Snacks-esque, which I like. It'll be interesting to try after For Science! comes out and we see where things shake out in the tech tree.

[Mitokandria]

:| I was just thinking a few days ago how excited I will be when a Life Support mod is created for KSP2. I hope the Science update wont cause too much issues when you are ready to update!

[Safarte]

Version 0.4.0 released!

• Enhancements: Life-support supplies are correctly transferred to and from Kerbals going on EVA. If other Kerbals remain in the part from which an EVA is started, the amount of supplies is split evenly.
• Added: M-size inline Composter (converts Waste into Fertilizer, capacity of 10 Kerbals)
• Balancing: M-size inline greenhouse: changed production capacity for Unfertilized mode from 4 to 2
• Balancing: M-size inline greenhouse: changed production capacity for Fertilized mode from 8 to 4
• Balancing: Changed Fertilized mode to consume Fertilizer instead of Waste

[Safarte]

Version 0.4.1 released!

• Bugfix: re-added 1 day of supplies to External Command Seat

[Safarte]

Version 0.5.0 released!

• Added: Stock Tech Tree integration for KLSS parts

I have experienced a bug twice in my exploration mode game so far where kerbals disappear from their craft for no apparent reason. (I'm away from a craft doing other things and at some point when I go back to the craft the kerbal is gone) I initially suspected a bug with the life support mod that was killing them even though they still have plenty supplies. However from my testing in a separate save the mod does not actually kill the kerbals when supplies run out yet? Is that correct?

[Safarte]

This issue has been reported by a few people, I think it is related to the known issue of background resource consumption being broken. We have a fix in the works that should come pretty soon.

[Infinite Aerospace]

Looking forward to giving the updated version a go with For Science! I'm hopeful it'll finally *feel* like Kerbal Space Program.

[Safarte]

Version 0.5.1 released!

• Fixed: Life-support supplies not being consumed for unloaded crafts
• Fixed: Kerbals on unloaded crafts dying before supplies ran out

Thanks Safarte! This is a gem of a mod, can't wait to see what it progresses into!

[GeneralKenobi]

My game hangs on 'Loading KLSS_water_tank_2v_radial' for about 5 minutes, and then the screen goes dark, won't load the save unless I remove the mod.

How did you install the mod? What other mods do you have installed? What Operating System are you using (Windows, Linux, ...)?

Installed the mod through CKAN, with all the dependencies. Attempted with no other mods installed. Using Windows.

Does it matter that I'm trying use the mod on a pre-existing Exploration save?
