@Nertea just out of curiosity why isn't out on Spacedock? That would make it easier to find version? Also OP version making please. Thank you for this incredible mod. If you have spare time though would you consider doing a Tweakscale config as it would help to give the Nuclear Salt Water fuel tanks more functionality. But that isn't something needed now. Once again, Thank you for the mod, as always textures are beautiful and masterfully designed. It adds more variety to the game, so we thank you for it.

Um, because it's still in heavy development, and may change at any point?

Hello everyone! I seem to have a bit of trouble using the fusion reactors. They aren't able to switch their fuel and they aren't able to charge or provide power. Is this a bug or am I using them wrong? I have fusion fuel on my ship (not the pellets) and i have enough radiators and batteries to power the reactor. I'm sorry if this is already being looked into. The mod is a dream come true by the way!

Because I don't want to support things to the unwashed masses before it's ready.

I don't know what this means. If you mean overpowered, here you go.

I hate tweakscale. Go bother them about it.

Glad you like it, can you be more specific? Screenshots for example? Installed mods? Neither of those bugs have been reported before.

I mean please put in the OP (Original Post) Title the current version to simplify things.

This isn't a mod thread for Far Future Technologies though. This is "Nert's Dev Thread". Its title changes whenever he's working on something else. He has like... *counts on fingers* ...eleven different projects? :P

I know CKAN is not supported by your mods so that could be the cause of the problem.

And of course: Far Future Technologies.

Only Far Future Tech is not from CKAN there is a possibility that CKAN might be the cause.

Thanks for looking into it!

Yes something odd going on. the module appears to be uninitialized. Could I get an output.log also? I can't see this at all in my install.

@Nertea Do you have any plans to revive Project Orion? You know, ol' Boom-Boom?

I know you seem to want me to do everything, but I have a job and a kid and 11 mods to maintain. I have plans to complete the roadmap on github and then release the mod. That's all I will commit to.

As much as I wanted that to happen, I don't mean to ask a lot from you. Just gauging how far are you willing to go into the rabbit hole, so to speak. :)

I think I found the problem! I reïnstalled all the Near Future mods and found a weird Gamedata folder located within my Gamedata folder. I've deleted it and discovered that the fusion reactors now function properly. It appears the bug was caused by a bad install. Sorry if I wasted your time with a problem that could be fixed very easily.

From what I gathered from earlier posts, it looks like using the advanced engines on space planes is possible, but are there any engines which can use intake air as the fuel, heated up by a reactor and exhausted out the back? I know those exist in KSPI, but I think it'd be great to see some in this pack as well.

I'm open to better suggestions for how to handle interfacing with the chargeable engines. I recognize this isn't super user friendly.

I suggest giving chargeable engines a short shutdown delay, so that whenever the engine is at 0% throttle, it waits for a short time before actually shutting down. 'Residual charge', if you will.

I am absolutely blown away by the quality of these parts! One question though, in the imgur album how did you get the Discovery command center? (Unless its in FFT, as I haven't checked it out yet).

You might need to be more specific, I don't have any such command centre

Hey there. Just noticed something weird on my craft today and I'm not sure where it's coming from. https://imgur.com/a/EUoTQ

You need to have the latest NFProps development branch if using SSPXr

When I time warp above 10x and I have full Antimatter tanks onboard, my electricity drains and the tanks blow up.

Is there a way to avoid this?

Didn't see this, sorry. Use the DBS release from NFE/CE/KA, there was a bug.

*snip*

 

In the imgur album of FFT, there's a ship that looks that looks like the Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey. At the front is a large spheroid that looks like the Discovery's command center, ahead of the radiators. Do you know what mod that's from?
