parts [1.12.x] Asteroid Recycling Technologies

[JeffreyCor]

Whoo hoo, the exterminator is wiping out the bee infestation

[Jarin]

This can apply to asteroids already captured if I want to use that class-E I grabbed this week, but wait unti lyou have bees removed to install ART, right? Or do I need to do savefile voodoo to get the resources into an existing rock?

He has recommended waiting until the bees have been removed. However another mod of his, AMT, has parts that allow resource extraction from asteroids in the meantime. A link can be found in his signature to his mod catalog where AMT resides.

I'd like to make sure I have the right forum for my question/issue. Does this mod (ART) have anything to do with asteroid-related contracts, or is it just the parts? I am having a contract issue, and I'm trying to track down who/where to direct my question.

[RoverDude]

This has zero to do with asteroid related contracts.

hey rover dude I got a small problem im running 4 of your mods and there not playing nice to each other the list I got of your is mks/oks, kerbonite, kerbonite plus, and the asteroid mining. if I do asteroid first and mks last the asteroid don't work but if I do in in reveres the mks don't work please advise

ART is borked, recommend to not use for now - Rover will get back to it sometime in the future, my guess is that he's waiting for 1.0 and the default (his) resource system

[RoverDude]

Also... please stop calling it Kerbonite. It's Karbonite

And yes, this mod is full of bees till 1.0

[Nulcear]

ok ill remove it for now but will be waiting

I just captured by first roid, I have the Jaw running and a 6300 storage for rock but it is not draining the roid or storing any rock. Do I need a resource hatch before this will work?

[RoverDude]

See 'Full of Bees' in title

[futrtrubl]

See 'Full of Bees' in title

Since some might not know what that means without context (I didn't) it means "full of bugs".

[Caithloki]

Ah sorry about that, read that part but could not put my finger on what it meant lol, a few to many beers

[Jarin]

Also that you're almost certain to get stung (screw up your game) if you mess with it.

I have noticed this problem to and have uncovered the issue. The Regolith DLL ART needs to function is outdated. For anyone wishing to use ART with MKS: I found a work around that is not perfect. With this work around you cannot have both functioning at the same time but you can have all the parts and ships set up in the same save file: If you want to mine an Asteroid, simple replace the installed Regolith DLL with the one supplied by ART. If you want to use MKS or any other mods that are shipped with Regolith, replace the Regolith DLL with the one supplied by the mods. So far i only need the most recent version Regolith DLL (1.7) and the one that ships with ART. It seems to be only the mining that needs the old Regolith DLL, anything resource related (such as converters any stored rocks) seem to work just fine. I think even fuel hatch work to some extent without needing the old DLL. That said, while the old DLL is installed, MKS parts will not be working so watch your food, water, air and power. Also try using a different version of ModuleManager if things are still broken. So far I know everything works with 2.5.9 but not the most recent 2.5.13. Have not tested with any versions in between.

I currently have an MKS station with an asteroid attached to it to get substrate in a save file running all of the USI Catalog (http://bobpalmer.github.io/UmbraSpaceIndustries/) and it works for the most part. My fix does require restarting KSP each time you want to change so its probably best to mine as much asteroid as you want/need in one go and simply make sure your stations/bases have a large backup supply of food, water, ect. Thanks for the awesome mods RoverDude!

If your asteroids do not seem to store or create rocks even with the mod installed correctly, make sure the asteroid.cfg file in the Regolith folder looks like this:

@PART[PotatoRoid]

{

MODULE

{

name = REGO_ModuleAsteroidInfo

}

RESOURCE

{

name = Rock

amount = 0.0001

maxAmount = 0

}

}

It seems that if the rock resource is not in the Regolith asteroid.cfg then it does not work.

[futrtrubl]

Or use AMT for your asteroid mining needs.

[RoverDude]

Or hold off till 1.0 - because fiddling too much with multiple versions of Regolith, etc. will result in sadness both for yourself as well as me

[webanck]

Hey nice mod there!

Would be super cool to have IVA inside emptied asteroids or even to be able to enter inside to build space hangars or stations.

I wonder though if it is possible to modify a celestial corpse mesh to do it dynamically depending on the filled/emptied ratio?

[Sarxis]

I'm still really looking forward to this one getting the update treatment. Was there a lot more to do for ART than the other USI mods?

[Cdr_Zeta]

Hello,

There was an error in the model pointing to the wrong dir...I had to add UmbraSpaceIndustries...I am still looking for the mass driver...

IIRC the issue with ART is that when Rover created Regolith (which is now stock) and it added mining resources, namely Karbonite, to asteroids, it conflicted with ART, which had the main function of hollowing out asteroids for storage. My guess is the hollowing out mechanic and the resource engine mechanic didn't play well together. So yea this mod probably needs more "work" than the others.

See title RE full of bees. This is on my short list guys, but does need a bit of coding.

First off, Roverdude I love all your mods and would like too thank you for all of your Hard work. Thank You. Was wondering if this Mod is still A thing. I know at one point you had taken over Asteroid Cities (parts) and were planing on adding it to Regolith. However, Regolith I think has ended dude to your work in stock. ( witch is epic btw) .. just wondering cause the Asteroid Cities parts and Asteroid Recycling Technologies parts I love. ( I hate the stock claw).

Anyhow .. Just wondering on the fate these parts

Ok I gotta seriously ask, seriously? Did you not even read Roverdudes post DIRECTLY ABOVE YOURS saying this mod is on his short list (aka he's working on removing the bees)?

Ok I got to Seriously Ask .. did you read my post? at all .. its referring to parts that were from another mod ( one that was not Roverduds, Asteroid Cities but he took over the parts from dtobi ) he was going too put it in Regolith last i heard, and that was long ago. I was asking about them... because I assume they would be moved to this .. but i dont know. Last I checked when you dont know something you ask
