NeoAcario Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Surely you don't throw Bill, Jeb, and Bob into Kerbol? You monsters!I actually keep these 3 for test flights and grand tours... They're never gonna die in my Space Program!So what's the ideal set-up for a lab then? I've got the core, lab, generator, and reactor mounted in a stack in that order from the bottom up. Is something missing or placed incorrectly?My set up is 15 CPU cores, 3 labs... and a 2.5m reacotr+gen on docking ports so it can be swapped after a couple decades. With this set up you only need to upgrade the generator and you can run all 15 AI cores (once upgraded) and 3 labs and be barely under 30% reactor. This will let it run for right about 10 years before reprocessing.FOR SCIENCE!Just ask if you want the .craft.~SteveEDIT:Oh Fractal... you going to be able to iron out that crew bug from the VAB? Kind of annoying having to always access the crew tab last or you launch with empty labs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelcommando1807 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 My resources list displays no change at all. The lab itself displays a rate of .296/day, and the core displays no change at all either.After more than a month of accelerated Kerbin time, I have 4.33 science total.Is the computer core upgraded? If not, it doesn't generate any SCIENCE!, and the numbers are right for a lab with two smart kerbals in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xentoe Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Sooo... now it`s the time.As far I read comes this week the 0.22 Update, what will (sure due the large gamechanges) all game mods fail again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railgunner2160 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Try this weeks KSP Weekly consisted of just a video, and a date: 10.16.2013Now I'm sure we all know what this means, considering the video was a vid of 0.22 gameplay!!!!!!

NeoAcario Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 How do you swap out the reactor?The short answer is: docking ports. See how the reactor itself is docked?Land a ship on top of it... pull the reactor off.. drop a new one on. By the time you need to swap it out... science / tech won't be a problem.~Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if I can build a crane...Edit: I knew about the docking ports...just wondered if it involved flying a ship to undock and drop a new one.

I might pick it up eventually, but I don't do much on the ground. I usually just land bases and leave them. I haven't needed to do anything with a base until I found out Fractal_UK planned for the nuke reactors to eventually run out of UF6... even with reprocessing. I'm actually kinda happy for it. Gave me yet another excuse to refine all of my ship designs. I'm one of those sickos that spend the vast majority of my time designing craft and not flying them. Never had a problem with docking, though... land or space.~Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I get to play the game, everyone around me has already exhausted my allotment for the day. So I end up pursuing a rendezvous or the actual docking itself too aggressively, maneuvering too soon and too hard...constantly overshooting the mark. Can't seem to help it most of the time.

Can't seem to help it most of the time.For docking, I tend to use MechJeb. Not the autopilot, but the Smart ASS to keep the docking port of the target pointed in your direction. Makes life easier, because it basically just means that you need to advance, and stay straight, rather than needing to match axes, and sort from there.Ground-docking would have a similar advantage, except that it's more difficult to make minor changes, as you need to hover.

zzz Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I'm little sick currently but finally started to do something. Another variant of tanks. I also add some lights animation for assigning to emergency power switch(I have read about a new feature), or it just cosmetic.http://www./?gw16a89ebxr6jcf Edited October 16, 2013 by zzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time a reactor/generator goes over 85% waste heat start flashing red (with a toggle to turn off visual warnings in case its intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banpower1 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Uhm, this mod is not as "not OP" as Scott Manley said, i can launch a space station only containing a command pod, solarpanels, SAS modules and parts from this mod (focused on making it warp drive capable) and i can zoom across the solar system and land orbits around any planet, the "aiming straight at planet" tactic is just not doing it correct. I would love to go over how to correct that with you, Fractal_UK, if you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to go over how to correct that with you, Fractal_UK, if you would like.What exactly are you using to launch this into orbit? Not many of the engines in this game are launch capable without antimatter. I suppose if you are sitting around at 100,000x timewarp while a science lab generates antimatter for your first launch that is viable but its a really efficient and somewhat silly way to do it later on since all of your nuclear generators in other craft will be running down while you waste that time.You can save some DV with creative use of the warp drive, true, though the power costs are pretty high.

Lucchese Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Hi guys, I feel like a proper noob because i can't figure it all out.Where do I get MegaJoules? (My generator, directly attached to a reactor only increases Electriccharge, no MJ)Why does my science stations research stay at zero?If someone has a guide which part belongs to what, that would be awesome Edit: Ah, Scott Manley has one and I figured out what I was doing wrong.Awesome mod!
