MKS Self Sustainable Living

[Friend Bear]

So simple issue but for some reason I am still lost. I have read the forums and I thought I understood the tutorials. However, the tutorials seem to be a little aged and do not discuss some of the remade installations. Maybe I am wrong?

How do I make the OKS or MKS self-sustaining? What are the necessities. Watching life support, the kerbals still have a depletable water, oxygen, and food supply with a full equipped OKS.

I have kerbals in there but I was not able to turn anything on (it already says "active" on the individual consoles which wasn't made clear in the tutorial since it seems to be an update from the older activate/deactivate).

Thanks guys!

Discussion, pointing me in the right direction, etc. anything goes.

If this is in the wrong area, sorry. Still having trouble with that.

Wrong section and double posting... All of the old tutorials are still valid for the curent MKS/OKS. Only thing that has changed are the resources in use. Fill every module with basic machinery and provide a pile of spare parts, punchcards and compost. Make shure aeroponics is manned and connected to a greenhouse. Also, you want smart kerbals, and lots of room for efficiency purposes.

Edit: while this is only semi-sustaining, a single inflatable of those resources will last you for ages.

I'll see about moving it.

Maybe it is because I don't bring compost, but I bring everything else in full (excluding CO2 and other waste product).
