[tdubic]

ProbiTronics is my first add on for Kerbal Space Program PC game. Mod is more focused on specialized probes, and parts that help you with reusability of rocket stages. I have great ideas and if everything goes well I will continue to improve and add new parts to this add on. It is currently in alpha version so if you find some bugs please contact me.

New 0.22 version is ready for First Contract

0.21 version is more about science. Ball and G-probe now have custom science experiments, also on all parts configurations are changed.

ProbiTronics mod include:

• NEW – SP-1 – reusable sample probe for bringing samples back to Kerbin.
  
• NEW – LA-2m -Big Leg Adapter give you ability to use stock legs with longer engines.
  
• LA-1m – Leg Adapter give you ability to use stock legs with longer engines.
  
• SM Mk I (service module for Command Pod Mk1)
  
• SM Mk I (service module for Command Pod Mk1)
  
• RU-3m MK I – probe, decoupler and parachute compartment in one. Add two Mk16 parachutes in middle attachment points.
  
• RB-721 (more than just rover body)
  
• RU-1m (probe, decoupler and parachute compartment in one)
  
• RU-2m (probe, decoupler and parachute compartment in one)
  
• Ball Probe
  
• G-Probe
  
• ProbiTronics ATV mk I
  
• Ball Shield
  
• Ball Parachute (just scaled down stock item Mk16-XL Parachute made by HarvesteR )

New version release

[Lifeforce87]

Very cool, ill try this out when iam at home.

[Helix935]

nice textures for they are simple but effective although could you add some more complex patterns to them?

over all nice start for a new mod and best of luck to your future endeavors

Edit: also where is the download link on tdubic because i see that it says that it requires me to share to download but i don't see a share button...

could you post a dropbox link instead, please?

Edited April 23, 2014 by Helix935

[tdubic]

After you share you will see download link. When you try G-probe, tell me what you think, it have small xenon gas tank inside so you can just attach ion engine below.

[tdubic]

You can download this mod from Space Port

The engine won't attach to the ATV.

[tdubic]

Thanks. I will make update today. Can you tell me what engine you try to attach to ATV.

Today update with bug fixes is coming, this week is plan to put more parts.

Note this early alpha version so if you find some bugs, just tell me. Thanks!

[tdubic]

New version 0.16 is out. Node attachments are modified, most engines are tested, and attachment works fine. There are some changes in config files also.

Working on new parts for next update

[Legendary Emu]

Cool stuff. What are you're plans for this mod?

Edited April 28, 2014 by Legendary Emu

[tdubic]

More specialized probes, more parts that helps with rocket reusability. Some rover body's, etc... I don't have to much free time as I work more than one job, so nothing is for sure, I can only tell that there are some basic plans for 0.18 and 0.19.

I like your mod, the ball probe and the g probe are perfect and very usefull.

I suggest you to break the ATV in 3 parts: a central part (3,75m) with the CPU , an upper part a 3,75 to 1,25 adapter maybe with a light and a lower part 3,75 to 2,5 as engine mount and cargo bay, this will make the ATV parts more flexible and usable in different projects.

RU 1m and RU2m are very interesting but I think that they needs a better model they looks too flat now , maybe something like the 2,5 stock decupler.

[tdubic]

here are some screenshot for 0.18 version

[sidfu]

uploadit also to spaceort or somewhere that dont force u to retrweet,like and such. forceing people to do that just to download it shouldnt be allowed imo

[Guest]

Err... It's on Spaceport. I downloaded it from there.

[KasperVld]

It might be a good idea to put that link in the first post for clarity

[tdubic]

It was available on space port, now i manage to put on CURSE.

On my website will be always available for download is "share to download" is allowed if not I will remove link. I don't have unlimited hosting plan so if someone download i think he can support this website by making one click more.

Sorry for not putting space port link on first post before.

[tdubic]

Kirondoll, thanks for comments!

I will think about ATV, but for sure RU1m and RU2m will be improved i future, also for next update i will try to include TAC life support

[tdubic]

New version v0.19 is released.

Added few new parts some, bug fix and texture changes.

Also added TAC Life support for parts, so please check if there is some bugs, I tested and it works for me.

[tdubic]

New version v0.20 is released.

Trying to upload to curse but after 6 attempts I give up, every time say time out error.

I just start to like Curse forge and then this happens, it is just me or anybody have same problem?

[Kerbal01]

do you have any plans for the MAVEN model I saw on your youtube page?

[tdubic]

MAVEN is model I sell on Turbosquid and 3D Ocean and it is made for visualizations and animation. For games it must be optimized, because model have more than 16000 polygons. I think this is to much for KSP.

Maybe in some later version I add MAVEN and Voyager, but for now this is not in plan for now

[RiggerLee]

How is the sample probe used? It's described as an unmanned probe with SAS and every thing. I tried launching it right on the pad but I couldn't get it to do any thing. How does it pick up a sample?
