[WIP][0.24] Tritium Engines

[MrChumley]

The TritiumEngines mod adds the late game functions of atmospheric mining for tritium, and burning tritium with super efficient rockets. Or you can mine it and return to KSC to sell it and get rich!

This mod adds:

:5 parts:

1 Tritium probesize tank

1 Tritium/XenonGas 3.75m tank

2 Tritium/XenonGas engines (ISP 20000atmos-30000space!)

Probesize - thrust 125 *Requires NASAmission*

3.75m - thrust 710

1 "Atmospheric" Intake Scoop that doubles as a "Tritium Concentrator/Generator" *Works in any atmosphere including Duna, and Eve! **Right click or hotkey to activate! ***Requires Kethane mod to work!***

:2 new resources:

TritiumAir - Scooped up Unconcentrated atmosphere used by Tritium Generator/Concentrator.

Tritium - A very expensive fuel. (Costs millions to fill the tanks, but millions in rewards if you recover any close to KSC!)

Kethane (mod)- Enables Tritium concentration/generation with air scoop. Via Kethane.dll

NASAmission (stock) - For the probe-sized engine mesh/models.

SQUAD (stock) - For all other meshes, textures, and effects.

**************************************************************

This mod is a just a collection of simple CFG edits, all part meshes and textures are "borrowed" from the stock game. Please try it out and let me know what you think about it... Any good modelers or texture people feel free to jump in here and help out .. I mainly intended for it to be an Interstellar *lite* because my computer was having trouble with as many *ambiance* mods as I had going and couldn't afford the RAM footprint of a large cool engine parts mods to make the further reaches of planetfactory's glory feasable.

At first what once was just a really Cheated nuclear engine ISP, then a few rescaleFactors later, and a small hint of vision, and hence this "mod" was born. I thought I'd share it with everyone. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Download TritiumV_1_1.zip via MediaFire

Don't forget to visit Eve, and Duna!

I included a license in the readme included in the .zip. I wasn't sure if I needed one.

Enjoy,

I like this, perhaps we can make a deal? if you teach me how to make a custom engine I will teach you how to add your own custom agents like C7 aerospace division to your game, pm me if interested, or ignore this if you already know how to

Update:

v 1.0.1-

-balanced ISP to a more reasonable level. (Nerfed ISP on both engines)

-added dynamic curve to small engine ISP. Now it has an ultra efficient peak in thin atmosphere.

-small refinement on the cost of 1 can of 700 units Tritium=1234567 so it makes it easy to count the digits

-polished descriptions.
