The price is right ... but for what mods?

[smart013]

One of the main hindrances of including mods right away in .24 (apart from compatibility, but i expect not very much trouble on this front) is the price of each part in contracts/career. I suspect some prices are defined out of thin air, but others maybe not. So, do you know any mods where to the price/costs information for each part is already correct or at least reasonable?

There is no way to know which mods have "correct" prices for a bunch of reasons. The easy one is that we have no frame of reference because 0.24 (which provides the frame) hasn't yet been released.

ah, ok. then maybe this thread is a bit early... sorry for that

This is why I'm removing all part mods at first for 0.24 (I'll keep things that don't add new parts, e.g. RPM, though). In a week or so, I'll look through and see what mods have been updated with decent pricing.

Once it comes out, I'll run some analyses and try to come up with a formula that gives an "average" cost for a part given its attributes.

Then I can write a program that looks at all of the .cfg files in a folder and outputs a ModuleManager file that gives each part its calculated cost.

I plan on playing stock until most mods are updated.

Kethane's update has rebalanced prices. I don't know if they're well-balanced, since I didn't have a large group of playtesters, but they were set with the 0.24 prices in mind.

Thank you, any update on KAS? I love Kethane, but KAS is IMO needed in KSP.

Watch the KAS thread for info on that.
