stevron Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm having issues with the Plasma Thruster similar to the issues associated with the Thermal Jet, seems it's locked to liquid fuel only. But I've managed to edit a value in the save file to set it to Quantum Vacuum but it says in the info window "Vacuum Plasma Deprived". And no, it's not the an atmo.

forsaken1111 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 1.25 nuclear reactor disigned with planes in mind. Button is doing nothing. It's full copy of kiwi bit little bigger because of shielding in front.http://www./?wa1jf5vg3n62693That is a sexy atomic reactor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorensonPA Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Tell me we can radially mount stuff on that sucker, the inability to mount legs and radial fuel tanks for thermal rockets is my one beef with reactor designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharios Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 1.25 nuclear reactor disigned with planes in mind. Button is doing nothing. It's full copy of kiwi bit little bigger because of shielding in front.http://www./?wa1jf5vg3n62693I always wondered...with the increasing capabilities and usability of metamaterials, is it possible that at some point, one could create a fission reactor with segmented fuel components each separated by a few thin layers of a metamaterial designed to control the direction of flow of neutron radiation?Instead of fuel rods and control rods that can jam if the reactor gets too hot, this reactor would have no moving parts, responding in passive reflex to the state of the reactor itself. Heat would trigger the material to become opaque to neutrons, and as long as each segment was small enough to be incapable of criticality, there would be no danger of meltdown.Add to that, layers of a metamaterial capable of converting x and gamma rays into electricity in the manner of solar cells, and not only do you have sufficient shielding which would be much lighter, you'd have more efficient energy conversion than any turbine-based system...in a reactor that can essentially NEVER go critical, no matter how bad the situation.

You simply can't stay on topic can you? Tell me we can radially mount stuff on that sucker, the inability to mount legs and radial fuel tanks for thermal rockets is my one beef with reactor designs.Oh I know, I hate that you can't radially mount stuff on the reactors by default. Editor extensions mod fixes that by enabling radial mounting but its obnoxious that I need to mod the game to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzz Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) I didn't change attachment rules, most of config is just copy of kiwi, but yes - need to change it to allow, I has same thought while testing but forget.attachRules = 1,0,1,0,0 to attachRules = 1,0,1,1,0 Edited October 22, 2013 by zzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractal_UK Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Okay, so I'm trying to figure out the microwave relays, and I seem to be missing something. I'm not getting any power transmitted or received, when building a sat with just the transmitter, strut for the body, radiator, and some solar panels. The only way I've managed to get one of these things functioning, is by slapping a reactor/generator combo on one.Is it a line of sight issue? If you have a solar satellite in orbit then there are a couple of line of sight checks that need to be made before you will get any power, first the transmitter satellite needs to have line of sight to the sun and secondly the receiver needs to have line of sight to the transmitter.

Jasmir Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Maybe a dumb question:How did i see the science that was generated by the Labs, and how can i transfer it to the Spacecenter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't unlocked them yet in my own game so can't test yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The code that generates science between now and when it was last selected is the part that is currently broken. I have a working fix though.

Jasmir Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think, i've found a issue:The 3.75m Reactors (upgraded) produce more DUF6 than consume UF6. I thought it should be the other way around: Using more UF6 than producing DUF6, so a fill up becomes necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcari Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 First off, I love your mod. It's one of my top 3 KSP mods.Second, either i've found a bug, or i'm being stupid about something. I've just finished building my 3-section awesome spaceship for a mission to Jool and her moons, including a 3.5m nuclear reactor and a thermal engine. Now, when I tried to burn out of orbit, I quickly ran out of Thermal Power, because for some reason the reactor is offline. Is that even possible? It's not full of DuF, nor is it out of UF. The generator is turned off, so that's not sucking up all the heat either.Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railgunner2160 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sounds like the reactor did a SCRAM shutdown to avoid being damaged by Wasteheat, Fractal_UK implemented that feature in the new update. Make sure you've got enough radiators to dissipate the heat, then send out a kerbal to affect the reapirs on the reactor to restart it....The shutdown feature was implemented IIRC to make sure your ship doesn't suffer a malfunction because nuclear reactors MUST run at a minimum of 30% power constantly. So not enough heat dissipation capacity means you may need a 4th section with more radiators in order to avoid a Reactor Meltdown..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmir Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'd like also express a wish: After consuming all UF6/DUF6 it should be possible to refill the reactors. It can be complicated and need heavy lifting. But making a really heavy reactor exchangeable and _not_wobbeling_ pushs the partcount into heaven, and that means laggy which means frustrating.

RussPixie Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 So not enough heat dissipation capacity means you may need a 4th section with more radiators in order to avoid a Reactor Meltdown.....Has anyone done the maths to work out how many radiators are required per reactor?

DaveStrider Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This mod seems to be incompatible with B9 aerospace. Basically b9's parts don't appear on the tech tree for me, and i assume it's due to this mod (specifically the treeloader thing that is packaged with it). The parts are there and only appear in the building menu after i've unlocked the right tech, but they're greyed out and say that i need to unlock them. I followed the installation instructions for both mods, Is anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should display the small number icon indicating there are parts locked, where after you click the node you hit the unlock for each part on the right tab. At least thats what i did after installing this mod, cos i already had unlocked nodes. Edited October 22, 2013 by Thourion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
