Transmitting Science not granting science

[nonot8946]

With 0.25 I am encountering a problem with transmitting science. The screen regarding the scientific data says I will gain science if I transmit it, but science is not granted when I transmit it. If I collect the data again, the game will again say I will get science for transmission.

This problem seems to occur both on data not processed in the science lab, and the data boosted by the science lab.

I should note it is not the very first collection/transmission of the data that is the problem, it is generally on the second or third data transmission. I believe the first transmission always works correctly.

Furthermore, EVA data appears to work properly on the 2nd transmit.

The problem seems to be with the:

gravity/seismic/temp/pressure

materials/goo

type of science

and I do not see this problem with:

crew reports

EVA reports.

Did not occur with 0.24.2

Does occur every time with 0.25

I am noticing that with the initial transmission, it goes all the way through 0-100%

However with subsequent transmission there is this status update at 50%. If I see that status update it appears I do not get science.

In some cases it appears I am granted partial science but not all the science I should get according to the data summary screen.

E.g. it says I might gain 30 science but I gain 7.2.

If I do actually bring the data back to Kerbin and recover the vessel it appears I do get the stated recovery value of the science.

You may be running out of ElectricCharge during the transmission, which will stop it. You could also be running into the diminishing returns from science.

A detailed set of reproduction steps with screenshots would be helpful here.

It is related to the diminishing returns you get from transmitting science. It is not related to running out of electrocharge. I believe the game is granting the diminishing returns from science differently than it is calculating and displaying the diminishing returns from science. I will see if I can get a series of screenshots.

Picture 1: Collected my data, ready to transmit. I am expecting to get 2.3 science

Picture 2: Transmitting (did not do lab). I think I got 1.1 science as it was scrolling by, not the 2.3 advertised. However at 100% it didn't add additional to the 1.1 I did get. I think it went 0.5, 0.4, 0.2 ( @ 50%), 0 , 0, 0 (@ 100%, shown in picture)

Picture 3: Collected that data again. Note that it shows I will still get some science if I retransmit it, however it is different than before and seemingly different than the amount of science I did get?

Picture 4: Transmitting that data again nets 0 new science

Picture 5: Collecting the data again shows that I should get science if I transmit it:

Yes, this is related to the diminishing returns you get with transmitting science. It appears it is granting you science differently than it is calculating and displaying science.

And while only slightly related, it is worth mentioning that you are not using an unmodded install, and there's a specific forum for that
