BudgetHedgehog Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Eagerly awaiting a usable release of this. I used ORS with KSPI and never really understood it, but that was on version 10, I think. But if SCANsat will have ORS support, well that's just groovy.This thread is so nice and and friendly, it makes me happy. RoverDude, you're a great guy. Looking forward to wherever this goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveStrider Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 i remember when KSPI was just starting and every part was hidden inside a stock fuel tank. looks like that won't be a problem here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nli2work Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Here is a first pass texture.http://i.imgur.com/gKDGhHO.pngAny ideas on how to make it fit in better with Nertea's and Nli2Work's parts?could do something like thishttp://i.imgur.com/7dQmVqd.jpgvary the width of decor strips, light main color to dark accents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintericeUK Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Can't wait for a release so I can play with this lovely project!One argument in favour of radial drills is so they can be fitted on heavy rovers. Scenario: You have an EL assembly plant on Duna located at your main base (which uses MKS modules ^^), you can then build a heavy rover in-situ and drive it to a suitable resource site. (I'm sort of thinking along the lines of the UCS resource harvesters from Earth 2150)As a side-note, if you wanted to g for an "iron man" playthrough, you could RP only having a finite amount of fuel available as default and have to harvest fuel as you progress... that would mean having a fuel storage setup at the KSC would be needed and you run the risk of your fuel reserves being lost if there was a rapid unintended disassembly over the KSC...

passinglurker Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Is there a reason the initial converter doesn't make xenon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverDude Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Is there a reason the initial converter doesn't make xenon?Nope, didn't even think of that one. Although that one feels a bit further of a stretch than fuel/monoprop... may just add that to the atmospheric scoops since that feels like it makes more sense.

Revolution-420 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Wow, awesome job. With all this momentum behind you, maybe you could reproduce this magic on one more seemingly abandoned project with a crappy licence. No pressure though. .. you've already contributed more than anyone could of asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution-420 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Also seems like you guys released this at a very fortuitous time. Kethane broke with 24.2 and I have a feeling it is not going to get fixed for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDude Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Assuming initial testing goes well, I will do an official release with the initial parts (I just want to whip up a nicer antenna real quick, need one anyway for MKS/OKS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floppster Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Okay, so there are two possibilities:1: I'm stupid (most likely)2: It isn't working.Do I need SCANsat for this to work or what?I downloaded the karbonite zip, put in gamedata, whipped up a ship and went to Minmus. Now I'm landed on...well, somewhere, with a karbonite concentration of 300+ ppm. Deployed and started extraction, nothing happens.Also, hotspots? I can't see anything anytime, the "show karbonite hotspots" option doesn't seem to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protoz Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I have a dish landed at Minmus, i don't see any Karbonite hotspot option, am i suppose to have one? I have the mod parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotengineer Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I have a dish landed at Minmus, i don't see any Karbonite hotspot option, am i suppose to have one? I have the mod parts.Do you have module manager installed? I started a new install to play around with this, and I saw that MM isn't bundled with the DL. Also, I'm new to ORS, so am I correct in assuming that sending a rover or plane to detect Karbonite would be better than a satellite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now im trying to figure out if thats intended or bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now im trying to figure out if thats intended or bug.I believe it has to do with the way MM or KSP deals with module additions via MM, as it is that it applies it to the part.cfg in the part folder rather than the .sfs save file where the actual modules are read.
