RoverDude Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 It's tied to the harvesting part module, so it would be per part (and hence, per mod). Karbonite will not have it by default, but it could be changed with MM configs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightingale Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Theorycraft Incoming!<snip a bunch of good stuff>Awesome! So is the thought that a typical scenario would be for orbital scanners (ie. long range scanners) to have low precision, and ground scanners (ie. short range ones) to have high precision?Starting to see lots of fun potential for some contracts here... "Go find a source of X"... "We've run out of X on our Minmus base, find a new deposit on Minmus"... "We know there's X on the Mun's highlands, land and find out how much".

Twinkee Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yep basically it's a bunch of new tinker toys for modders.Great.. is there an instruction manual? A list of modules? I don't know where to look for this stuff.In your case, the reactors are probably a decent starting point.Great... I have looked, but not found. Where can I find a reactor using regolith code please?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwind Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Okay, backed up install and added Regolith 0.0.2 prerelease... much to your disappointment, I have to report that nothing whatsoever exploded and that my asteroids are now nice and mineable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellion Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have a question regarding the definition of interplanetary resources.MinAltitude and MaxAltitude define the range where the resource can appear and MinRange/MaxRange define the "width" of the resource band, eg. it is somewhere between min/max altitude and has a thickness of some value between min/max range. The min and max values are put into the config as multipliers to the planetary radius, which yields the final values. Is that correct so far, or have I misunderstood something? I am trying to add a band of resources to LKO, and while they do appear, i cannot seem to get them to appear in the right height. Here is an example from the config: REGOLITH_PLANETARY_RESOURCE{ ResourceName = ArgonGas ResourceType = 3 PlanetName = Kerbin Distribution { PresenceChance = 100 MinAbundance = .001 MaxAbundance = .005 MinAltitude = 1.0247 MaxAltitude = 1.03385 MinRange = .01 MaxRange = .01 }}The planetary radius is 3840000m (6.4x Kerbin), so by my understanding, the resource band should appear somewhere between ~3935km and ~3970km. Instead, it appears 1985km above sea level, so it is not quite where I want it to be. The alternative, that the value r*min/maxaltitude is instead supposed to denote the height of the resource band above sea level also does not fit the actual height of the resource band, so I am somewhat lost here. Any clues to where I am at fault are greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDude Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Your assumption is correct other than you should swap out Radius for Diameter (basically the code says Radius which for whatever reason returns me a Diameter ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellion Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This must be a new record in speed or something, and I should have seen the numerical relation ._.Thanks a lot though, it was as helpful as it was quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic1 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If I use REGOLITH_GLOBAL_RESOURCE, will this add the resource to all planets/moons or do I need to use REGOLITH_PLANETARY_RESOURCE to add the resource to a planet?I want to add resources to 3 planets.

RoverDude Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Global will apply to all planets and moons. Planetary would be an override for that planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if a resource is already listed in the REGOLITH_GLOBAL_RESOURCE it will automagically be added to all planets (including custom planets, which is awesome )Look at the Karbonite.cfg file in the CommunityResourcePack, and you can see an example.

klesh Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Help me to understand. Is this resource/layout for modders to use, or ... it seems like you guys are all using it now?Are we supposed to use this mod as its available in the OP, or wait for moders to take it and run with it?

klesh Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) its a ISRU framework for modders. If you use pretty much any of the USI (roverdudes) mods you already have it What is ISRU and USI? Edit: Wait, you mean these? http://bobpalmer.github.io/UmbraSpaceIndustries/Yeah I don't use any of those. I'm trying to find some mods to maybe try resources and like scanning of planets and such, and its kind of confusing to figure out what I should go with.

ISRU In Situ resource utilization. The only mods I can think of that are basic resources (mostly for fuel creation) would be Karbonite and Kethane. There are other mods that have resources, but they are in order to support other aspects of the mod, such as KSPI and MKS/OKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czerky Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've been trying to use the API to make a variable output fuel cell and ran into some issues. I'm using the resource converter module like so:MODULE { name = REGO_ModuleResourceConverter ConverterName = Fuel Cell StartActionName = Start Fuel Cell StopActionName = Stop Fuel Cell RecipeInputs = Hydrogen, 0.0647360000, Oxygen, 0.0323680000 RecipeOutputs = ElectricCharge, 1.5, False, Water, 0.0000520721, True }It works okay so far in that H2 and O2 are consumed in proportion to EC drain (probe cores register a 1.74% EC load - so far so good). However, when I attach an alternator-equipped engine part, load defaults to 100% - I'm guessing because the part is trying to fill the small EC container in the engine, even though they can't be filled by external charging. Potential bug?Another issue is that the conversion isn't working with craft on-rails. I don't know if Regolith conversions are even supposed to happen on-rails, and in the manner I'm trying to do it, so I thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
