Kerbal Attachment System (KAS) 0.4.7 - Pipes as fuel lines and even fewer explosions!

Thanks for the quick update! Just to be clear, I won't lose my current ships that use the old version of KAS if I update, correct?

As long as that older version is 0.4 or higher, you'll be fine. Versions before 0.4 are not compatible.

bug report: when firing a sepertron from a kerbal's back (I modified the Addmodule.cfg) no thrust is applied. I guess that it's a thrust transform issue. I dunno If this can or will be fixed, but I for one would like to see what happens when you apply a rocket directly to a kerbal.

B9's separatron equivalents work while carried/attached to a kerbal. The results are... interesting. It's uneven thrust on their back so the thing just loops around and surprisingly hasn't killed any of the test subjects yet.

Bugs and issues need to go on GitHub https://github.com/KospY/KAS/issues?state=open in order for them to be seen and fixed.

I am experiencing difficulty with interacting with items mounted on Kerbal's. I've taken a pack to install solar panels on a space station but I cannot interact with the pack once it's on the kerbal's back, I can only enter a structure and it will drop off and then I may interact with it but then, I still cannot interact with an item once it's in my Kerbal's possession.

Yesterday I downloaded KAS and after messing around for a bit I had a truly kerbal idea, I don't know if this is a thing.

This is a proof of concept.

The munarch science hammock base.

Also perhaps, mohole base???

Anyone have a solution to the above text?

I seem to be having a problem with KAS and my throttle. Whenever I do anything with the radial winch (extend cable, eject hook, etc) my throttle is instantly set to 0%. I tried using the GUI as well as action groups and the result is the same. I am trying to use a VTOL aircraft as kind of a skycrane thing so engine failure when I use my winch is no good :) Anyone run into this before? Solutions?

I have a question about KAS usage. I am trying to refuel a ship stranded in orbit.

It has already a radial connector to receive the fuel, my other ship reached it with a horizontal winch, but I couldn't grab the winch.

I tried on the ground and I just went close to the winch and grabbed it with no issues, but if I am floating next to it outside my ship I can't grab it. Do I have to do something before being able to grab it?

The fact that the ship on the ground was laying down horizontally maybe helped my kerbal reach it (in space i was in the same direction as the ship)?

Please help me save Jebediah...

I am having a similar issue related to collecting science from modules, but the effect is being applied everywhere.

I have this problem too. My "workaround" has been to eject the connector, then fly to the end of the tether and grab the connector. Rather annoying, but it works. Be sure to retract the cable before bringing the refuelled ship out past physics distance, or the refueller sometimes randomly goes kaboom.

I never bother with the winch for simple resource transfer operations, I just use a pipe end point on each vessel, they're easily carried, fitted and linked from EVA, and I've yet to have a random exploding vessel except where there were multiple simultaneous links.

May be a silly question but is KAS for 0.23 compatible with KSP 0.22?

There are still some mods i use on 0.22 that haven't been updated to 0.23 and i just discovered this mod.

Alternatively, a link to a 0.22 version of the mod would be awesome too!

Alternative to that, if i were to compile from source, is there anything simple i can do to make it compatible?

Guys i installed the mod,(i am running steam version of the game) and the cables,struts and generally everything that can link/attach to another part is just 1 white line(no texterues) and theres no sound.When i load a ship with a KAS part it says that theres no sound and i havent intalled it correctly.Please help guys.

you apparently havent installed it correctly... theres a good number of posts in here with specific instructions, i suggest skimming or searching through the thread

I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but it's got to do with the winch and the connector port. If I place a stack connector, I can attach the winch port to it. I can't do this with the radial port, however.

I'm trying to design a lander with a rover attached and I can do it with the stack but it's too big and bulky for a rover. I'd like to use the radial but it doesn't seem to work, even with clipping enabled. Seems to be an issue with the radial connector, the winches work fine with the stack connector and electromagnet.

hello Guys i am still using 0.22 and i downloaded the KAS version 0.23 and there are some problems with ksp version 0.22 so is there still a version for 0.22??? that would be very nice :)

Use KSP .23. There is no reason not to.

Oh really?

I can THINK of SEVERAL REASONS as to WHY someone would NOT want to run 0.23 right now and would rather wait a few days before updating.

All of the links (except the last) are each and every one a valid reason as to why i haven't tried 0.23 yet.

So i too would like to find an older .22 compatible version of this mod.
