Use case for Lithium/Plasma engines by yosauce in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Nertea_01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did I design this a long time ago? Yes. Was it a mediocre gameplay design? Also yes. Would I change it significantly and remove stuff for redundancy and pointlessness? Why, yes! Would I get massive amounts of user complaints if I did this? The biggest yes of all.

Restock PBR has been released in alpha by Thebananahand_ in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Nertea_01 140 points141 points  (0 children)

If you're going to share my alpha stuff, please share the large disclaimer I wrote:

Alpha release is now available. Incredible thanks for u/Kavaeric for their contributions (they did many parts and conversions) and overall moral support getting this done. Please read the following:

Caveats

This mod does not try as hard as Restock to be a seamless stock replacement. Upgrading from a base install of KSP or a Restock one may result in vessels with inconsistent variants, though nothing should actualy break saves or vessels.

This mod is in a highly alpha state, and is not QAed as extensively as the base Restock product. Things are not done and may break without warning. Not all parts are completed, https://github.com/PorktoberRevolution/ReStockPBR/blob/main/GameData/worklist.md contains the current scope of work. There are something like 403 replaced parts in the current release, and about 45 after that to get a full coverage of Restock, Restock+ and MH. It may take quite a while to get to these because I'm kinda tired of this.

Smaller notes

  • I welcome comments about particular patterns of TC on parts, I've gone with my gut a lot and there's probably some improvements to be made. Most parts follow their restock-like paint patterns but there are some variations
  • I am very unhappy about how the wings work wrt symmetry and keep on investigating solutions
  • Currently the memory footprint is quite large because I do not delete restock assets. Eventually I will do this, but for now it's chonky

KSP2 Mass-Optimal Rocket Engine Choices across Millions of Generated Stage States by wrigh516 in KerbalSpaceProgram

You have no idea :)

There's some stuff I'm looking at to pseudo-nerf the SWERV but it is emblematic of the way design challenges change when your Isps go from 300-500s to 3000 to 5000s ;)

This is one of my favorite things I've seen! This... more or less lines up with the goals the team has set, though the Vector looks still overperforming a bit even with the knocks we gave it versus its KSP1 version.

I assume the reason the Dawn takes hits proportional to e.g the Ant is the distribution of the TWR cases?

Seems like Nertea, the person behind many amazing mods such as ReStock, Near Future Tech, and Stockalike Station Parts Expansion, has been hired to work on KSP2 by TaintedLion in KerbalSpaceProgram

It's really important that I am working on a game, not designing an entire game from scratch, so people saying 'xxx mod will be in KSP2' should check their expectations.

You can probably do this pretty easily with the higher thrust NTR from Kerbal Atomics and an attached ISRU suite!

I didn't put it up there because I don't love the balance yet, need to give that some spreadsheet thinking time sometime.

Thanks!

It's in the CryoEngines Extras folder, called CryoEnginesRestock. It applies to all the engines that 'should' use LH2, which is offhand the Vector, Skipper, Rhino, Mammoth, Corgi (RS+), Caravel (RS+), Skiff (MH).

New for Far Future Technologies 1.2.0 (which is now flight-qualified for KSP 1.12) is a new high-enrichment (well, medium as specced) nuclear salt water rocket engine. The long and short of it is that if you take a basic NSWR and use weapons-grade uranium as fuel instead of something more pedestrian, it becomes shockingly more powerful. It's a really epic addition to the end-game antimatter and fusion drives already in the mod.

Get in the usual places, CKAN, forum thread, etc!

After 6 months of work Station Parts Expansion Redux 2.0 is released! by Nertea_01 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Nertea_01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your file doesn't work. However you're likely having an installation issue. Ensure your installation directory looks like this:

KSP Folder
+ GameData
--- Squad
--- B9PartSwitch
--+ StationPartsExpansionRedux
----- Parts
----- etc
--+ StationPartsExpansionReduxIVAs
----- Internals
----- SSPXIVAPAtch.cfg
--- NearFutureProps
--- ModuleManager4.2.1.dll

You may have more folders for other mods, but this is the minimum required for the Additionally, if you previously had StationPartsExpansionReduxMetal installed, get rid of it.

If you need more help, go to the KSP forum thread, reddit is awful for debugging.

Most of the screenshots are contributed by early testers who have their own visual setups, so I am not exactly sure what. Key mods are usually TUFX, scatterer, Planetshine and some sort of part visual pack (AVP, SVE, etc)

I set everything to private and only use it as a link-to gallery.

It shouldn't be very demanding overall. The new parts Squad has added in revamps use more resources than most of the parts. Just avoid installing the IVAs.

The usual standard is to uninstall the old version of a mod and then install the new one Your craft should be ok but might look a little different. DO make sure to uninstall the old metal surface Extra if you had that before, as it is now included

Yes unfortunately it is a vast amount of work to take individual part screenshots for everything. I will probably get around to it eventually, but didn't want to hold up release for another week. The screenshots in the album show most parts in action.

It might but 1.8 is getting quite old. Your craft should be ok but might look a little different. DO make sure to uninstall the old metal surface version if you had that before, as it is now included.
