Wyrmshadow Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wyrmshadow: hmm, the only thing special about the new containers is their colliders are complex meshes. Other than that, there's no difference between them and the hexcans when it comes to what the game sees. I suppose it's possible that the colliders are intersecting and that might be causing trouble. Can you post some screenshots of your ship while it's intact?http://imgur.com/a/5JvwN#0These are the two ships that gave me problems. I couldn't replicate the error in the larger ship.. but definitely in the smaller one. The result was after I tried to hyperedit it into an orbit. The structural supports disappeared but the ship remained on the surface and nothing what happening. I revered the flight back to liftoff.. and then what you see with the jumble... That same jumble is what always happened when I would revert the flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnemoe Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Limiting the size of the ship constructed in zero g might make sense from a logistics point of view. IE, need some kind of organizational center to co-ordinate construction of bigger ships. It'd make sense that attempting to assemble larger frames would take more planning to get the bits to go together right... OK, the words 'Kerbal' and 'planning' don't necessarily belong in the same sentence, but you know what I mean. I don't think it'd need more power, or more hardware, maybe it'd just need more habitation and more kerbals on-site? Or just more habitats that are assigned as just co-ordination centers? IE, they can't be used as ordinary habitats? Just throwing out ideas.Yes and its an limit on ship size.Amusingly the size fits well with the size of the rocket part tanks so this shipyard can build something the size of the central part. kethane and ore miner docked at both ends.

eoghantodd Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 So I'm excited to use this, and got an orbital construction part docked with my space station. Read through the documentation and I want to set debug to false so I need to ship material up for construction...and I can't find debug=false in any of the launchpad part files. Where should I be looking?Much thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've released v1 of my auger parts in this thread. Yey.Awwww! Right AFTER I re-built my drilling station too. OH well, I've got the orbital platform, won't take too long to build another one. And a recycler-car for the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to see your output.txt(?)/Player.log (win/linux) that captures the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where should I be looking?This may have changed, but I don't think that debug mode can be toggled manually anymore. It turns on or off automatically depending on whether you have Kethane installed. Even with kethane installed though you might have to go into the .cfg files to get ore containers to start out full. I don't think that you can have them spawn with ore by default.

taniwha Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 The next version will allow you to force resource use when you don't have kethane. However, I'm currently dealing with a bit of a show-stopper bug in that ships get a little twisted out of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horus Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Really nice to know that the development goes on. Keep it up, man ELP could be an extremely interesting gameplay feature in the whole KSP concept, imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unteknikal Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Is there any guide of the correct use of this mod? I mean parts descriptions and how to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horus Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 AFAIK, no official guide. The whole game is mostly "try'n'guess" I agree that it would be really nice to have a simple guide for starters. Sort of "get-there-do-that-get this".

TimMartland Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 taniwha, you should totally add thoes custom augers into the pack. They look really awesome and would replace the slightly dated drill model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeimonsta Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 any news on those old smelter models being added in, the smelters are so hard to get anywherealso are there any different designs to the rocketparts constructor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patupi Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 As a suggestion Taniwa, since people are requesting the links to the custom smelter and drills, perhaps you could put links on the first page to these, or at least to the posts that have the links to DL them. At present people would have to scroll through 60 odd pages to find the links for them, and though I know they aren't your work it might help to show their visibility.Just a thought.

impwarhamer Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I still want to know what happened to aeon-phoenix's smeltery that he made when he made the new ore cans. I thought it was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno65535 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Please tell me I'm not the only person who tried to read "5 Kh/t" as "5 kilohours per tonne".I think it's 'Kerbal hours' per tonne, thus more kerbals less timeHehe, indeed, that's kerbal-hours per ton. kilohours would be kh rather than Kh (note the case).Yeah, I figured that out as that couldn't be right. Would take forever to build a 1 tonne lander.And I thought it was upper case for x10 and up and lower case for x.1 and down. How I always looked at it anyway.

taniwha Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Patupi: Trouble is, I don't feel like digging through the thread either. I at least have the excuse I'm trying to get EL working better techno65535: I believe hecto (100x) is also lowercase, but with the exception of k and h, that does work. However, where does that leave you for micro? It's not even part of the alphabet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno65535 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Micro usually uses 'u' if you can't get the roman character I think. And what makes Kilo and Hecto different/so special? Totally throws things off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronk214 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 So from what I understood from the original post is that this mod allows for orbital construction? Not by flying parts up and docking them, but by building a craft in the nab and then having to launch the needed parts and then it appears?
