Talking about urgently having to leave and update my KSP installation...

Did you notice the CKAN effort to automate intallations? I would love the have your Emporium manageable thereby as well, so if you want, I could create a .ckan file...

Aaaaaand, if you do want me to do so, what would you like your mod to be called? How about the following:

I have got a fair bit of work concentrating on learning the ropes and making parts at the moment so I will hold off from that for a bit, unless I get a lot of requests...

OK just made some solar sails.... they work as thrusters, power depends on angle to sun, and you can throttle them and turn them off (who needs logic and physics!)

I wouldn't call this "Steampunk" so much as "Fantasy". Try solar sails 100 times bigger and then it'll be realistic.

Can we have struts as ropes? Copper struts don't really make much sense to me.

And have you thought about baking your textures?

How about a steampunk rover wheel, with a RADIAL STEAM ENGINE at the attachment point/wheel axle/as-the-power-source.

In other ideas: I'd really like to see this mod have more metals and victorian paintwork. You don't have to be made of wood and copper to be steampunk. Cast-Iron and Steel are great materials; and in fact many larger victorian boilers use "Hoops" of steel in a ring shape.

The Hatch on the Domed Crewbarrel is VERY Glitchy. I get thrown away from the pod at high speed and spin when I exit, and I can't click on the hatch.

realistic? what is this thing you call realistic? I am launching barrels into orbit and you want realism? shame on you sir! :sticktongue:

I wish I were a better texture artist, however time and skill level deny me that oportunity

It seems to be a recurring work in progress, it was behaving perfectly for me, and now sadly it is not ;.; . I will continue with development, but thankyou for the feedback

Wheels and better landing legs are a high priority for me, I am still researching and testing suspension setup, however I hope I will have something to share soon.

Glad someone else is making Jet/rocket packs with our pack

No need for further work on this from your side, honorable sir!

I went ahead and provided the necessary config to the CKAN team. Now all I need to launch barrels and ships from the most Excellent Vertical Propulsion Emporium is:


Q:\Kerbal Space Program>ckan update
...
...
Q:\Kerbal Space Program>ckan install Kerb-fu
...
...
Q:\Kerbal Space Program>ksp

All that is necesary from your side is to upload to kerbalstuff.com

ok who knows about wheelCollider values to stop my suspension behaving like a rock!!!!

All linkages and steering, drive works but suspension sits at full extension and wont bounce... :huh:

I still have so much fun crashing your jetpacks into things ( because I cant fly )

And right when I need to build rovers to increase my science but don't want to pollute the current save with non-steampunky-looking crafts :cool:

When I can get my suspension to work properly I will bag up a new release... soon I hope

Kerb-fu · October 25, 2014

This mod is AWESOME!

and thankyou too sir...

Kerb-fu · October 26, 2014

All right.... finally debugged the wheels... :sticktongue:

made 2 varieties

and

Kerb-fu · October 26, 2014

This is the professors new ride to work...

Kerb-fu · October 26, 2014

ok, now I think I am loosing my mind :confused:

Kerb-fu · October 26, 2014

Well, I made this as a concept today (no IVA yet). I have made the engine half produce steam etc and use basic engine smoke effects.

will work on sound and finishing Pod and IVA.

As soon as I sort this I promise to crate up a new release

Whirligig Girl · October 26, 2014

I am very happy with you right now.

That is now the HypeTrain for the next day. Then HypeTrain07 gets back to being the hypeTrain again.
