[1.1.3] Large Structural Components [24th August 2016]

[SnappingTurtle]

Looks like it should work but is WAY overpowered.

Really? I copied the configs from the large converters that come with TAC since the Hydro Gro is quite large.

yeah but the ones that come with TAC don't have Oxygen Producer, and Food Producer that make infinite food and oxygen for free with electricity.

You should do something like this

MODULE

{

name = TacGenericConverter

converterName = Food Producer

conversionRate = 86400

inputResources = ElectricCharge, 1000, CarbonDioxide, 1, Waste, 1

outputResources = Food, 0.4, false, Oxygen, 0.9, false

}

[SnappingTurtle]

Thanks Moon Goddess. I'm interested in making it a fairly realistic hydroponics garden, I don't want it to be overpowered or produce resources at over-unity. It's for my station and I have to make periodic visits anyway to remove waste.

Does this work with 0.23.5?

[The Destroyer]

It might, go ahead and try.

Yes, it works. Just make sure you use the correct link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64621786/udk_lethal_d0se.zip

Please pardon my necro-threading, but I have noted something crucial here. The download link provided above contains ONLY config files, no part models or textures. I assume it is meant to be installed ontop of the download provided in the OP.

I will be testing that theory, along with 0.24.2 32-bit compatibility, momentarily. Will update this post with results.

[Tex_NL]

This mod does work in 0.24.x! However it does have some serious issues. It is most definitely NOT balanced financially. But the parts and tech-tree integration do still work just fine.

You're correct, the link I mentioned only contains tech-tree updated .cfg's. Download and install the mod from the OP and update with the new .cfg's.

[parachutingturtle]

These parts are absolutely great! My only problem is with the masses... really, the "Lean" connector corridor needs to be 5 tons?! same as the lobby and the others?

also, IVAs would be really great! (but my dream is to have connected IVAs and IVA movement, obviously that's not gonna happen for a while.. )

[kaphraxus]

This looks like a great mod!

[Chezburgar7300]

Woah! Cool mod. Got directed here from the TweakScale page...

[Stone Blue]

So has anyone tried using these parts in 0.90?...I luv this mod, and was using it till I took almost a year off KSP, so I never used it in 0.24 or 0.25.

I just tried loading the parts, and they seem to at least load and look OK in the VAB in 0.90...Havent tried building/using anything with them yet though... ???

[Mecripp]

Just a part pack should work fine if you play a career, I haven't checked it in some time but you might have to add

TechRequired = ******

entryCost = ****

cost = ***

if it don't have it.

[Van Disaster]

Parts work fine, I'm sure I've seen a patch for older career somewhere - however I don't think they're balanced for current career? not sure, given I don't actually use career.

The greenhouse needs a modulemanager patch for whatever lifesupport mod you're using if any, doesn't do anything by default.

[tSpecR]

I love this mod, just found it yesterday and well on my way to building my new munbase. One issue I have found is I sent up 3 kerbals in the 'Foyer' and now landed and docked it with my base I cant eva them right clicking on the hatch doesn't do anything. Am I doing something wrong?

[tSpecR]

Oh here's the beginnings of my base btw.

Hey everyone, just a quick message:

In the coming week I will be updating this pack to fully utilize the new additions that came with release (and hotfixes). I have been reviewing both this and the development thread over the past few days since I left to complete my degree and will continue to update this mod, albeit not as frequently as during initial development. I had also planned to remove the Hydro-Gro part as it no longer has a purpose; I will not be pursuing the plugin for life support further. I shall however leave this to a vote, and may keep it in the pack for aesthetic purposes.

Hope you're all well by the way, thanks for all the support you've given; see you soon.

Awesome! I remember using this mod back a long time ago, glad you are back

[Scotius]

Welcome back

[DavidBowman]

Oh my god! Just saw your post in Nertea's station parts!! Your mod was the station part mod back then.

So, what are we looking at here? Collaboration? Some friendly rivalry?

First off: Squee. Welcome back!

Re the Hydro-Gro please consider keeping it or donating the part to TaranisElsu for use in TAC Life Support. If you want to keep control of the model/textures I'd be more than happy to contribute a patch to make it work as a greenhouse in TAC LS.

No, no rivaly. I've finished university, and got myself settled into my new job; so I'll be updating my parts pack to work with KSP's new features.

Hey, thanks.

I've been messing about writing a plugin over the past couple of days (dabbling with KSP's API again) so will more than likely keep it in the pack.

[Smurfalot]

These sure are nice looking. Congratulations on graduating, glad to have you back working on the important stuff.

[Tank420]

Just want to say hi, and I think it's great that you're developing these again. When I discovered these you'd already put this to the side, so as others have, I modded these for my personal use when the changes came about.

I'm really excited to see what you do with this, keep up the great work.

[Stone Blue]

Anyone tried these lately?.... Last I tried them in 1.0.2 and they seemed to work...

Anyone tried 1.0.4 or 1.0.5 yet?

EDIT: Ok, so I fixed all the nodes (except the "Lean"...THAT one has weird nodes...), converted the textures to .dds, and took these for a spin in 1.0.5....

So far everything seems good to go... Parts could probably use a little tweakage, just to bring the .cfgs inline with 1.0.5, but other than that, I'd say these are good...

Now, with that being said, @udk_lethal_d0se, any chance of an update on these?... These could be timeless parts, except for the lack of updates...
I know you've posted you had bigger plans for these, as far as a plugin(?), and MORE parts, but what about just updating what you've already got?
Seems like a shame to let these disappear, since the basic .cfg tweaks could all be updated VERY quickly,, and we'ld have another EXCELLENT, useable stock-a-like station parts pack.... ???

...Or maybe open up the license to allow someone else to pick these up?
