Kethane Mining with Interstellar Mod?

[tajampi]

Hi there:

I have the amazing KSP Interstellar mod installed, and i'm thinking of installing Kethane, but i don't really know if i need it, because Interstellar has a part called "ISRU refinery" wich can mine things.

I will like to know some Good and Bad points of both mods mining mechanics, also, how much RAM memory Kethane uses, because i'm already using 3.2 Gb aprox.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

I have had Kethane for a heck of a lot longer then Interstellar has existed. I had created a huge Kethane infrastructure to support the Deuterium powered Impossible Innovations Fusion Torch engines, which has served me pretty well so far.

Combining Kethane with Interstellar just seems like a no brainer, but modding kethane to convert directly into anti matter pretty much makes most of Fractal_UKs work pretty much moot(IE Kethane -> Antimatter pretty much trumps, all the other resource trees he has.) . And the guy does work hard. It's just I already have this infrastructure and I'm not going to abandon it, I worked too hard, too long and been in too many fights with the wife over it to just give it up.

I will admit, when you pair it up with other mods that have resources, it starts to get a little on your nerves though, mining for Kethane, Deuterium, Lithium and if your using the extra planetary launch pads mod, you gotta mine your metals for your rocket parts.

However, in the grand scheme of things people consider Kethane to be the magical resource that for whatever reason converts into everything.

So, it's really up to you, but I use Kethane, it it's really cool and an awesome mod to begin with, and the fact that Majiir develops it in such a way that allows it to hook up to anything that needs resources is really generous on his part.

and if Fractal is reading this, I say you should Make a Kethane Reactor
