also after updating to kas 1.2 can't link/unlink flex o tubes.

and when loading craft in el the ui goes blank for me too.

all fixed when downgrading to kas 1.1.

I'm not sure where is the right github pages to report the bugs related to this update.

I can't find a FlexOTube or any references to KAS in EL configs. KAS isn't even listed as a dependency. Are you sure it isn't a MKS part? I can find a MKS FlexOTube there that makes use of KASModuleStrut  that was deleted in 1.2.

 if KAS 1.2 is working well without EL, then the problem will be in EL as it does poke around in KAS's innards a little (build cost, resource pipe connections, etc).

I figured it was something like that.  Not to worry, I've downgraded for now :)

yes I mixed up the part's mod
flexotube is not related here sorry

I'm having NaN errors when I try to edit the recipe for the smelter. It's pretty clear I'm messing it up somehow, as when I revert to the un-edited recipe config, the errors stop happening.

I'm trying to remove the LFO requirement for smelting and scrap remelting. My idea is to simulate something along the lines of Molten Oxide Electrolysis. For now I'm ignoring the oxygen this would produce, and just trying to set it up to produce metal with an equally high energy input, coming from electric charge only. (I use KSP Interstellar, so powering smelters from a nuclear reactor is viable option).

Does anyone have ideas on how to go about correctly editing the recipe file to achieve this?

I thought I'd chuck in some examples of what I tried, and that isn't working: 

	Input {
		efficiency = 1
...
		//LFOMix = 864.49048 -5186.94288	// 6MJ/kg of LFO, 0.86449048kg of LFO
		ElectricCharge = 5186.94288 -5186.94288
		MetalOre = 1596.882
	}
	Output {
		efficiency = 1
...
		Metal = 1116.9 -9627.678 // 8620MJ/t of Metal, 1.1169kg Metal
		//CarbonDioxide* = 1056.228
		//Water* = 288.24448
	}

	Input {
		efficiency = 0
...
		//LFOMix = 864.49048 -5186.94288	// 6MJ/kg of LFO, 0.86449048kg of LFO
		ElectricCharge = 5186.94288 -5186.94288
	}
	Output {
		efficiency = 0
		//Carbon* = 24.0214
		//CarbonDioxide* = 176.038
		//CarbonMonoxide* = 476.1717
		//Formaldehyde* = 30.02598
		//Hydrogen* = 14.11116
		//Water* = 144.12224
	}

@Snoman314: The problem is EC has no mass and thus you are getting propagated divide-by-zero. I suggest using the metal->rocketparts converter as an example for setting up constant-efficiency "smelting" as I have not sorted out what to do when 0-efficiency has no mass.

OK, I've made it a simple constant efficiency recipe, with 10x the energy cost, and now it seems to be working fine. It's a shame to lose the efficiency/heating mechanics, but I guess that's how it is.

Thanks for your help.

Is there a version of survey states/mallet that sets up a recycle site? So that anything in the 'site' could be recycled? Am trying to recycle a ground / non-moving item and am fairly new at recycling.

Thank you in advance!

Nooo, buuuut... you can do what I do: create a recycling truck. It's essentially a rover with a ScapMetal tank on the back and a recycling bin on the front (kind of like a bulldozer) that then transfers the scrap metal to the base. Another similar option is to use the larger recycling like a truck bed and use KAS and IR to create a crane to lift debris into the recycling bin (I did this back in KSP 0.21, and is, in fact, the reason for the design of the bins).

Somehow this brought 'Maximum Overdrive' to mind, and and Mad Max... .:) thank you.

 

Makes me ponder if I should ask for a KAS/KIS item - scraptag... attach to something within x meters of a survey station/waste bin... :P

 

for some weird explicable reason, I keep hearing 'Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY' in the back of my brain....

How does this mod work with MKS these days? As I enjoy a lot of the MKS parts but I’m not that interested in the complexity of its production chain and would much rather use the Extraplanetary Launchpad system instead of the Global Construction system that MKS is packaged with these days.

MKS has a set of user-supplied patches that as far as I know are still working fine with EL.  If you have Patchmanager you can pick between a few options in-game - or you can move/remove files manually to change them around.  There are four separate patch files you can enable/disable: One adds EL abilities to MKS parts, one adds EL abilities to MKS Kerbal classes, one switches EL to use the MKS resource chain, and one hides the EL parts.  The one hiding the EL parts is disabled by default.

In your case I'd recommend disabling the one to use the MKS resource chain - You'll then be able to build with various appropriate MKS parts, and use Technicians or Mechanics in the place of Engineers if you want to, but you'd still be able to build using the same EL resource chain.

Awesome!  Thanks for the info :D

Does this awesome mod work in KSP 1.7? I couldn´t find any exact information about that.

I would say it's not. I'm using KAS 1.3 on 1.7 and get exceptions all the time even without trying to build anything. I installed EL for the first time in a game I started it in January. Yesterday, I just got to the point where I want to use it and trying to build something didn't work.

I get these all the time when a vessel loads:

I had tried to add a Mun base expansion onto a MicroPad attached to a KPBS part. Once I told it to start construction on a vessel name "Base Industry" I got a empty gray window and the exceptions were dumping to the log fast enough to crush my framerate down to around 5. Since I don't know how it's supposed to behave when it's working I had planned to do some research with supported versions of mods before  tried to report problems. The following continued until I changed scenes. I haven't gone back yet.

Thanks for the answers. I did a bit of testing encouraged by them and I successfully managed to build a ship with MKS / OKS (other ressources) and to launch it. The only issue I had was with Portrait Stats. You don´t see Jeb´s beautiful face if you release the newly built vessel (I transfered him beforehand). You have to switch back and forth one time to see him.

@Tonka Crash not sure abeout your issue, but it might be some incompatibility with another mod maybe? As for KAS I use 1.3 too.

Has anyone written a patch to adapt USI Kontainers with Stock EL? I'm just looking to save some time doing it myself. I'm not planning to use MKS, just USI Core, so in stock form the USI Kontainers don't match up to EL resources, but I prefer the look and (texture switching) of the Kontainers over the parts included in EL.

I did a clean install and a new sandbox. I was able to build stuff using stakes. It seems like something is corrupt in my save. I'm still get some exceptions being thrown mainly in the VAB related to KIS & KAS and the popup that this version of EL is incompatible with KSP 1.7.
