Tweaking science gain from transmission. How?

[Dedjal]

I am trying to find the cfg file where I can tweak how much science I can transmit, before it locks up and yields no more.

I am not talking about the sciencedefs.cfg (unless I missed a line).

For example. Transmitting science will only yield a maximum 80%. To get the rest of the 20%, you will have to take it back to Kerbal.

Where can I change those percentages?

Go to your KSP/GameData/Squad/Parts folder and find the part.cfg file for the piece you want to modify. Some are in the Science directory and some are in Utility.

Look for the line:

xmitDataScalar = 0.X

and change to whatever you like

xmitDataScalar = 1.0 (if you want full)

Superb! Thank you!

No problem, have fun!

You may want to look into ModuleManager. Instead of directly editing the base file (and thus no longer having an intact stock installation), this addon allows you to write additional part.cfgs that are loaded at runtime and override the settings in the stock files without actually modifying them.

Not as much of an issue if you just want to change 2-3 parts, but if you go ahead and start seriously tweaking the game, you really want to retain your fallback option.

Is there a similar way to change the value of surface samples or eva reports? since they aren't done using a part but with a kerbal instead, i can't find a xmitDataScalar to modify.
