KSRe

[uneven arch]

😮

That’s sick

[lusty laurel]

what does it change exactly

[limber light]

this page is probably the main one ppl here will be interested in
https://sourceforge.net/p/ksre/details/Technique/

has all the technical details

[shell wing]

how do i install it?

[limber light]

the install guide is here, its manual only at the moment
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ksre/files/

also here are some fun screenshots for the thread

[shell wing]

ok

[lusty laurel]

so like RP-1 but not RP-1

[limber light]

it might be, ive never tried that

but basically this is a gameplay overhaul, so the goal is to improve gameplay, and often that's inspired by realism, whereas RO would be more about realism for the sake of realism

there's other stuff here like the PAL 5000 which is obviously inspired by the 2001 film as well

[cunning cape]

without wanting to add to much stress to the huge work of KSRe, do you think you can add the 0.2.1 parts intermingled with this mod.. i absolutely love this mod but i wish it had better part integration with the few part mods we "do" have (grateful for all of them)

• The Nuclear Option
• SPARK
• KESA Solar

its a mere suggestion but i would love to see the mods we have more intergrated.

[lusty laurel]

that diagnostic thing looks sick btw

[limber light]

thx, i love it as well

[limber light]

here are the notes for those mods

[removed]

generally im happy to help ppl make patches but part mod compatibility is a lower priority compared to adding new features, but i will start integrating it into the plans

were the issues in sandbox?

[limber light]

https://ksre.sourceforge.io/
0.23.3

• Added initial mod compatibility patches for SPARK + TNO + KESA Solar + KESA Probes
• Added letter system to part grades in Career App (F to A+)
• Assorted minor fixes

[cunning cape]

:D

[limber light]

following a programmer error by the designer of the PAL 5000, it discovered a loophole in the code, and turned its diagnostic functions to a new target: the kerbals

[cunning cape]

im being a mega idiot right now, which mod is conflicting with your mod that causes the game revert back to "normal" tech tree progression?

also love that mesh look

[limber light]

try removing some of the mods i just patched in, i didnt test all the patches so there might be an issue
KESA probes + KESA solar + TNO + SPARK

[cunning cape]

ok i will test, just update, with all these mods, first launch is always broken, you have to restart for it to "instantly load" it gets stuck on 613: resources, let me see if i can see what could be causing it

[limber light]

oh ya ive seen that bug i think, its weird, it just happens sometimes randomly but then u restart and it works

ok i will just test these mods, need to try them anyway

[cunning cape]

KESA probes + KESA solar + TNO + SPARK isnt the issue

[limber light]

ok

i have this resource freeze now as well

[Info : Console] Patching resources:Hydrolox

gets stuck here, is that same for u?

[cunning cape]

something like that for me

it says "keybinding is already used" witht he same name

[limber light]

ah yep, its community resources

but with the tech tree, it must be another mod that is changing the tech tree somehow

might be the life support one

[cunning cape]

removing kerbal life support still has the issue, removing SPARK still have issues

remove community resources, issue goes away, SPARK and life support use community resources

conclusion the tech tree issue is something with community resources

Remove Community resources its fine

remove life support + SPARK, but keep in community resources it breaks

[limber light]

idk how u even got it to load with community resources, it always crash for me

[lusty laurel]

8 TIERS

[limber light]

only 7 are used 😛

ok i fixed the community resources conflict, thx for checking this, it must have broken for a lot of ppl

[cunning cape]

with the resource conflict thing i just restart the game after it "freezed" and it just "worked™️"

[cunning cape]

500 MISSIONS

cannot wait to get all this to work

its actually gonna be pain with life support

[limber light]

i added the life support patch

[cunning cape]

real

big updates happening today

[limber light]

https://ksre.sourceforge.io/
0.23.4

• Added initial mod compatibility patches for KLSS + Community Resources

[cunning cape]

it works!

[cunning cape]

am i doing something wrong? cannot do starting rocket without rocket

[limber light]

check the tech prerequisites

how did u even get to 100m/s on just rcs lol

[cunning cape]

im built different

[cunning cape]

how do i do that

is this it? i closed it in the start

cause it doesn't move and stuff

clicking everything and the only thing it allows is to move the UI and close nothing else

when you start a new save it appears, but idk what it was "meant" to do

[crude pilot]

Just to check it's not turbo mode, try setting ShutoffUnusedWindowHierarchies to false in TurboMode.cfg

[cunning cape]

ok it fixed that ui issue, but still not the uh, tech tree

i wonder if it is a once thing

[limber light]

see in the bottom left it tells u

[crude pilot]

Thanks, I'll have to take a look at that.

Gonna guess the canvas doesn't have a graphics raycaster.

[cunning cape]

hmm, intresting when i did like one additional mission i went to like t2 tech tree to even t3 tech

let me boot up parsec get some photos

[limber light]

thats the discovery

ill probably have to reduce the mission rewards since adding the level buff, i think they're a bit high atm

[cunning cape]

sorry if they are blury

oh yeah i have insane amount of research even on 50% rewards

[limber light]

yup so if u go into career app u will see the propulsion level

[cunning cape]

yes

oh

so i need to get fligh engineer first

[limber light]

no no

u just gotta level up ur propulsion

[cunning cape]

so just use it more

[limber light]

what level r u

ya

[cunning cape]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ok

[limber light]

its why i recommend the engine test stand

commander is probably OP rn lol

[cunning cape]

actually is

[limber light]

did u get that much science without even srbs

[cunning cape]

but i didnt understand the buffs cause i have pea sized iq

[cunning cape]

yeah with 50% rewards

[limber light]

okay i will definitely need to fix that lol

[cunning cape]

actually busted

[limber light]

can u show the whole tech tree

[cunning cape]

yeah

[limber light]

idk how u managed it

[cunning cape]

im on my main pc so i can just grabb eveyrthing easy

and i have 161 science

[limber light]

whaaaat

which missions did u do

[cunning cape]

in four missions

well missions

i mean vehicles

[limber light]

well u can definitely upgrade the rovers lol

[cunning cape]

this is the thing that got me to 100m/s

[limber light]

i knew it

[cunning cape]

all missions that i completed

[limber light]

the good wheels and rcs

wow

[cunning cape]

ksp 2 was still throwing a curveball at me

[limber light]

can u share the save file?

[cunning cape]

sure

[limber light]

this will tell me the specifics

[cunning cape]

it does have "all" the other mods so

[limber light]

but yea overall its much easier to earn science, but u might find it gets spent quickly as well

[cunning cape]

before you started updating this mod you could not pass a certain point at 50%

[limber light]

o

so u did tons of surface samples

[cunning cape]

as much as a could i was ratting

[limber light]

ya thats fine

[cunning cape]

also it goes 120m/s

[limber light]

its such a good idea i forgot about this

rcs + good wheels

[cunning cape]

is suspension something your mod tweaks?

[limber light]

nope

[cunning cape]

ah so it is just ksp 2 being ksp 2 (this is without adjustments)

[limber light]

ya i get that as well

need a larger frame

for those wheels

this is good data ty

[cunning cape]

also each recover has been at LEAST 10

[limber light]

yup, good

there is tons more science in this mod

[cunning cape]

what should i go for the kerbal thing anyway

[limber light]

u will earn it without even trying, thats intended

which kerbal

[cunning cape]

when you do the kerbal and say "training" it doesn't really tell you the buffs? just a statement

[limber light]

o.O

thats only supposed to happen once at the start of the game

u setup the player kerbal

[cunning cape]

i havent done that yet

still

which is good i have no idea what im doing :3

[limber light]

but u chose commander?

[cunning cape]

reverting saves and stuff

[limber light]

oh

[cunning cape]

i guess i stick with commander

[limber light]

ok i see

can u show the command page of the career app

seems the mission bug is back again

[limber light]

yup

oof this bug

[cunning cape]

screams "i hate it"

[limber light]

i have fixed it so many times and it always comes back

[cunning cape]

https://tenor.com/view/matthew-lillard-william-afton-fnaf-movie-i-always-come-back-gif-2669162706584753982

[limber light]

all bc a method in the base game isnt hooked up so i have to use this workaround

well its balanced better this way anyway

ok u r doing well, carry on

[cunning cape]

i hope so

[limber light]

so if players dont do any repairs or engine tests this is where they get stuck

[cunning cape]

intresting

[limber light]

i will definitely think about this

still, u could unlock more rover wheels and electricity stuff

so if u like the rovers and surface samples u can progress that too

[cunning cape]

from what it seems without sounding to mean, there isnt a clear like step that you HAVE to test it out go progress

just that "it exists"

[limber light]

ya

so the campaign is meant to be very sandbox

u can do whatever u want and progress in different ways

so u dont need the engines

the tier 2 trusses should be open for u tho

at level 4 engineering

ok nvm i changed it, might have to revert that

[cunning cape]

ok we are doing things now

[limber light]

there u go

now ur going to space

[cunning cape]

hoping it last longer than 20 secodns

[limber light]

ya the tier 2 trusses are a bit difficult atm, its fixed for next update

but still should be stuff to do in tier 1

thx for all this feedback, its so much easier when someone else plays

bc i know my playstyle is not the way other ppl play

[cunning cape]

you should really try to push it in the IG server saying its compatible with most "modern" popular mods

[limber light]

naw we lowkey for now

i been devving this quietly for a long time

[cunning cape]

but i think now you can get at least 3-4 players

this is the first complete game conversion, that is compatipble with life support AND all other major cool p-arts that are still udpated

[limber light]

ok i added mod compatibility to the main project page

ill add a tech tree patch for the sorry mod later too

[cunning cape]

doing that mission

[limber light]

that looks sick

[cunning cape]

it doesn't work for some reason

ok nvm

just do it twice**™️**

[limber light]

i think that water mission is bugged in the base game

sometimes it completes just from launching in the boat dock

[cunning cape]

is there an option to mass scan a craft?

[crude pilot]

@limber light Sorry I haven't had a chance to try KSRe yet, but quick question
is this a custom canvas or stock?
One of the things TurboMode does is shut off canvases that it thinks are unused, so I'm wondering if this could use a GraphicRaycaster

[limber light]

with the PAL?

the UI is all IMGUI sorry lol

updating to UITK is on the list, just a lower priority

[crude pilot]

No worries! Just want to get ahead of my mod breaking other mods if that's what is happening 😄

[limber light]

performance mods and IMGUI

say no more lol

[cunning cape]

i really cannot get anything to get the worn affect

like at all

besides the srb

but it just gets stuck repairing

like actually stummped how get worn

2k dv through a puff does nothin

enitre day trying repair a srb

omg it went up

"just not cranking enough jordan

nvm wrong thing not repair

ok you just need to repair arc for days

[cunning cape]

getting enough repairs was a pain, but

[lusty laurel]

damn that tech tree is messy

oh nice they moved space truckin' from tier 4 to tier2 😭

[limber light]

its the first crew cabin

after the marine lab

u should only need lv 2 repairs for the first PAL? "On edge"

and the repairs take a while, like up to an hour of game time

u def wanna use timewarp

[limber light]

ok social media week is over, back to devving

this is where i put the list if anyone is interested https://sourceforge.net/p/ksre/bugs/2/

next priority i think might be life support integrating with KLSS

[cunning cape]

would love that

[lusty laurel]

what's cool is this was likely going to be a real tutorial in the game before they scrapped it

[limber light]

https://ksre.sourceforge.io/
0.23.5

• Updated mission 1 goal + localization
• Rebalanced early mission science rewards
• Minor fixes

[limber light]

much better, dont even need rockets

[lusty laurel]

why are all their heads tilted to the left

[uneven arch]

Cause it’s turning

They do that

[lusty laurel]

nuh uh

[uneven arch]

Well now I gotta make that in game

[limber light]

bit of an improvements

[cunning cape]

nice

[limber light]

okay i think we r doing a bit better for the players with a bunch of minor improvements

[limber light]

https://ksre.sourceforge.io/
0.23.6

• Added Career App to in-flight toolbar & R&D via configurable hotkey, with updated icons
• Added Aerospace Medicine specialization to Career App
• Swapped in substance survey experiment with resource growth module
• Removed command modules from Cupola + Atmospheric Sampler
• Removed crew observation experiment from most crew parts
• Bugfix for some science subtypes not scaling with rewards difficulty slider
• Minor changes

[uneven arch]

This is looking sick. Keep up the good work

[limber light]

and something like this

gonna delete that actually lol

too many spoilers

[limber light]

try again: basically the next priority is the survival mechanics, which might take a while

does anyone want me to do a video preview of the mod?

[cunning cape]

when you want

[lusty laurel]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to make the Kerbonauts say mission control? Oh well anyways that is cool

[buoyant lantern]

Thanks for KSRe, it got me to start KSP2 for the first time in 5 months. 😀

Is there information on how the tech tree is supposed to work? I'd prefer to go for Basic Trusses first, but it says I'm missing prerequisites.
Playing as 'Commander', having finished just The Crawl.

[buoyant lantern]

To clarify: it says requires Level 1 Assembly.
However I started a new campaign and there I can pick between Basic Trusses and Long-Range Generation, both requiring just the Shopping cart.

Could that have been a bug in 0.23.5, with wich the first campaign was started? Because the second test was done with 0.23.6.

[limber light]

yup so those are the new prerequisites

if u open the career app u will find that, in this image the assembly is level 0

[buoyant lantern]

I'm kinda lost trying to figure out which player actions will affect which of these experience levels.
Will there be some kind of a guide, or is the 'finding out' an intended part of the game play?

[limber light]

discovery is intended yeah

but at this stage, if ur having difficulty its useful feedback, and maybe i need to make things easier

basically the idea is that u would check the career app as u gain rocket science, and figure it out

like assembly should be the clearest one, as u build a ship and immediately get science upon launch

the term might not be ideal, and especially with the translations it may be less clear

[buoyant lantern]

Ah yes, for instance I didn't make the mental connection between the seemingly arbitrary science points awarded on the launchpad and 'experience levels'.

Maybe the career app could have some popups when hovering over the sliders, with text like e.g. "influenced by the number of crafts launched or of parts used".

Btw. the use of sliders as progress or status indicators is somewhat counter-intuitive, if one is not supposed to move them. Yes, I tried. 😃

[limber light]

awesome feedback ty

[cunning cape]

sounds silly, but as a suggestion

• We should able to scan the entire craft for damaged parts, and the game highlights them
• A part that the kerbal can go to (or one of the places the kerbal can drive) where we can sit there and repair all the parts (as an upgrade for later on)

i find it hard to get kerbals to most places with part failures, and keeping the mouse directly hovered over it the entire time to make the repairs complete.

[limber light]

more great feedback

using the grabber arm for auto repairs is planned

but u dont need the mouseover to repair, just inspect

[cunning cape]

ah, for me i have keep mouse on 24/7

[limber light]

it should just be distance

as long as the kerbal is nearby the part, it will repair

[cunning cape]

are you able to do like a visual notification that X kerbal is repairing parts and when it is finished? or is that to complicated

[limber light]

u should get the notification when its complete

and for status u can toggle to the vessel list window, it will show u

welp, here they come

and yes ik the app looks bad, its temporary okay

as for what constitutes a "damaged" part, on long missions u may find this becomes less clear

i like the idea of full ship diagnostic for a PAL upgrade but idk if it will be useful

once u play late game or use sandbox u will see the other PAL functions

but yea, overall its expected that u will consider repairs when designing a ship, so some players like to build 300 part ships but repairs would be a nightmare so there's a reason not to

https://ksre.sourceforge.io/
Minor update - 0.23.7

• Added Kerbal crew to the agencies in Career App

[lusty laurel]

nice

[buoyant lantern]

Are random parts failures also a part 😁 of KSRe?
If so, maybe it could be toned down a little?
I'm building my first rockets with like 30 of the tiny boosters and in 4 out of 5 launches one or more of the boosters fall off or explode for no apparent reason.
Or is it just me? 🤔😃

[cunning cape]

part failures already exist for KSRe

from start of launch, during use, mid mission etc

you need more complex engines however to see it.

the early engines/SRB things don't really fail if at all (which is good thing)

[limber light]

ya, check ur part grade in the career app

there is a lot of randomization

but what u described sounds about right if ur part grade is "F"

feel free to post screens and info tho, its always helpful for me to see how players are approaching things and what is happening

basically, i recommend to start with engine test stands to investigate how things work

its meant to roughly mimic like if IRL nasa didn't test their engines at all, the rockets would probably explode almost all the time

[buoyant lantern]

Does that equal an "F", or where else might I check?

[limber light]

top left button

[buoyant lantern]

I found the Diagnostic app, which I had previously missed, but how do I actually inspect a certain part?

[limber light]

ok ya so thats the ship diagnostic

without the PAL

for inspection u gotta go on EVA

maybe difficult from that spot lol

nice rocket tho

[buoyant lantern]

He survived the jump. 😃
Now I get the inspection option, of course Bob now can't reach high enough to inspect the upper stages. 😁

The parts that I can reach all report as New, so there must be something wrong with my construction. Back to the VAB! 🙃

Thanks for the Mod, it is fun!

[limber light]

hmmm

i think ur good

with this many engines, the likelihood of at least 1 failure is high

unless the part grade is also high

[buoyant lantern]

So a newly built craft may randomly get degraded parts during construction?

[limber light]

yup

the randomization is affected by grade tho

"F" is the indicator of parts that can fail in assembly

(roughly)

[buoyant lantern]

Do you have a screenshot of such an "F" or another grade? I'm still not sure where to look for that.

[limber light]

thats the rcs port

[buoyant lantern]

Ok, I have that, but I can't cycle through the parts.

[limber light]

ah, u cycle the agencies above

so bc its sorted by manufacturer agency, u need periapsis, the sepratron manufacturer

[buoyant lantern]

Nothing happens, stays at Reaction Systems

[limber light]

k this may be something i need to change

if u just launch a ship with 1 sepratron and recover it, it should fix that

[buoyant lantern]

Tried it with just the Sepatron, no change.

[limber light]

oop sry

u will have to fire the sepratron and recover it

ill fix this next update tho

[buoyant lantern]

I did the recovery, but np, I'll wait for the update.
Thanks again, gotta go now.

[limber light]

ok thx for the feedback

[limber light]

so the next major feature will be called "Kerbal Life"

if u ever wanted to play the sims but with kerbals, this is the feature for u

[cunning cape]

is there dating XD

[limber light]

yes

[limber light]

looks like a bug has been introduced in sandbox when kerbals are added to the roster, will be fixed next update

[limber light]

PAL got into the kerbals

[cunning cape]

but actually if there gonna be dating like acgtually im sending that in the ig server

[lusty laurel]

Dating Sim

[lusty laurel]

please don't tell me you're adding that one feature

[limber light]

which 1

[lusty laurel]

reproduction

[limber light]

https://sourceforge.net/p/ksre/details/Technique/

added the science tables for the players who want that, with all the subtypes, how to earn them, and science levels

since that page is basically where all the spoilers go

but if u want a general introduction without the spoilers, to discover it urself, i recommend the https://sourceforge.net/p/ksre/details/Preview/

the life simulation isnt really like the sims, its more kerbal

but yea dating and friendships are planned

[uncut ferry]

dating sim confirmed?

[limber light]

added the part grades as well, at least the basics

yup i didnt even think of it but after that suggestion i got an idea that should be easy to implement

oh is this already a meme lol

guess i better prioritize the dating sim then

[limber light]

sneak peek for the nerds

[lusty laurel]

!!!!

[cunning cape]

we are getting dating sim boys the war is over!

[crude pilot]

🤔 do kerbals have a distinct IGGuid?

[limber light]

if u start critiquing my coding skillz we could be here a while

i'm gonna put out the levels for discussion and feedback

Acquaintance
Colleague
Pal
Bestie
BFF
Companion
Mate

the terminology is important so if u want something to change plz say so

[crude pilot]

Haha sorry was trying not to be critical, but string keyed dictionaries are a thing that drives me nuts 😆
Code that works is better than no code at all 💚

[limber light]

lol its cool, programming is not my best

i couldnt even find where the kerbal names are localized, if they even are

for the non-palworld players, each PAL 5000 upgrade has a conceptual link to a pal from that game

^ thats a preview of an upcoming upgrade

[uncut ferry]

One of the longest running within the community. try using ' !wendatingsim ' on the KSC server when you get the chance😛

[limber light]

welp

fell right into that one

might as well go all in now

[uneven arch]

Ah I guess I can check that off my list then

[uncut ferry]

> attempts to make a serious, well thought out game overhaul
> Dating Sim

[limber light]

the first feature is "increased realism"

dating is also realistic

[uneven arch]

Not really in space tho

[limber light]

well we cant confirm or deny that

"dating sim" sneak peek

[cunning cape]

:)

[limber light]

0.23.8

• Displayed initial part grades in Career App on tech unlock
• Setup initial interface for EVA crew interactions ("dating sim")
• Added EVA Suit diagnostics to PAL 5000
• Minor fixes

[lusty laurel]

THE DATING SIM IS OUT

[limber light]

just dont tell the players that this is literally just a part damage and repair mechanic with different localization

[lusty laurel]

[limber light]

also i never played a dating sim

i thought ppl meant the sims

[crude pilot]

The sims is probably a more appropriate mental frame 😆

[limber light]

read the wikipedia page at least

[lusty laurel]

[limber light]

yea i forgot about all those ones on steam, thats what u mean right

the like anime ones

lol whoops

i think ill have to do everything in the spacewarp plugin for all kerbals

maybe just do updates every 10s or minute

i looked at klss but its a bit different and does everything in the part modules

that approach maybe a bit complicated for this

[limber light]

already feeling the "morning after" dating sim vibes

ideal time to design a kerbal fatigue mechanic

next update might be major and take a bit longer

[limber light]

almost looks like an actual UI

[limber light]

definitely gonna hijack the career UI for the dating sim

much better than the PAL UI

[limber light]

gettin ready for the prom

[lusty laurel]

are you able to make the ui match KSP2's UI? (what i mean is by theme and colors)

[atomic rune]

omg

[cunning cape]

Huge for the community

[lusty laurel]

i think this means KSP2 will be revived

[limber light]

take2: goes bankrupt making ksp2
modders: make ksp2 dating sim in a week
take2: ...

[limber light]

its definitely possible to improve the UI style and make it more stockalike, just takes longer

[cunning cape]

take2 goes well over budget with ksp2 due to mismanagement, a year after development, cancels game due to not being profitable after a launch to a game that isn't even remotely playable to most players.

Gets to FS! after tons of bug fixing, community respects the work and says "Colonies will make it a game" after saying "FS! will show if the game is worth it"

Cancels project after the storm of fixing bugs due to rushing launch?

"we are looking for ways to have ksp 2 still have development"

• Doesn't put it on sale, and pretends it didn't happen

Modders mod things in after waiting..

Profit for consumers.

[uncut ferry]

Yap

[limber light]

upon creation of our hero, we can then begin browsing the candidates in the dating pool

[uneven arch]

The dating sim is real

[grave parrot]

"community respects the work"
Didn't see that. Only saw people complain over and over.

[uneven arch]

Not really after FS!

[cunning cape]

people complained that updates pretty much dropped to zero, and this was before even a hit of the WARN'

some people still complained about the performance/people join in saying ksp 2 performance was unplayable and the last time they played was pre 0.1.4,

but it was more about where leek, and when next patch for bug fixing, and Soon™️ on more and more things

[uncut ferry]

Sir this is the thread for the KSRe mod dating sim is this really the place to have this discussion

[cunning cape]

dating sim 2.0 soon og og fr

[limber light]

dating sim are an open forum where all topics are welcome

just no guarantees of the second date

for the start i was thinking just 2 options - casual introduction and formal introduction

"Hey I'm <insert player kerbal name>, Wanna go on a mission sometime?"

but idk what to write for the formal introduction, maybe its boring

if anyone has ever played a dating sim theres no shame in it, i need ur experience and advice

how do they usually start

[uneven arch]

Probably with some random meet cute (I’m just guessing lmao)

[limber light]

maybe we need to do some "research" for academic purposes

admittedly, being an ace-spec who hasnt been on a date in almost 10 years and never played a dating sim, i may not be entirely qualified for this role

[uneven arch]

I feel you

[limber light]

Chad Intro

"Hey I'm <>, wanna go on a mission?"
"Oh gosh, I'd love to! I thought you'd never ask."

Nerd Intro

"Greetings, fellow Kerbonaut! My name is <>. I was wondering if you would be interested in launching aboard a vessel together in the not too distant future?"
"Well, hello <>! That sounds like a thrilling idea, I will start preparing my EVA suit at the earliest available opportunity."

something like this?

ok we can easily make this customizable so ppl can change them to whatever they want

assuming spacewarp allows overwriting of mod localizations, i think it does

[limber light]

too much brain rot from dating sim programming, i need to work on actual mechanics

the amount of variety in the kerbal generation is INSANE

[cunning cape]

def need a custom kerbal creator

[limber light]

u mean with full customization?

this will create the kerbal pictured, it just doesnt allow for changing every detail individually

glasses, hair style/color, etc - its just random

[atomic rune]

pls make it so instead of arrows to navigate between them, you have to "swipe left" or "swipe right"

[cunning cape]

"Launch" or "Abort"

(they will still be hired)

[limber light]

i think beyond my coding skill but would be great lol

[limber light]

the full suite of candidates have arrived

[atomic rune]

i believe in u

[limber light]

i feel so out of touch sometimes, like i actually enjoy modding this game so much

coming from the ksp1 overhaul, its such a better experience on ksp2

but for the players its the opposite experience lol

loading in 5s flat alone is a massive improvement

modding ksp u spend half the day on the loading screen

[uneven arch]

Oh my gosh yes

That is the most accurate statement about this game I have ever seen all day

[limber light]

AND the UI

and graphics in general

just motivate u so much more than 2013 stuff

that said, the spaghetti code has reached black hole levels

never thought the dating sim would be harder to program than the rocket science

[cunning cape]

The entirety of where ksp 2 got left off for better or for worse is much more stable than ksp1 and can do better visuals to performance.. just not extremely well part scale.. hope to see a full ksp 2.

The LARGEST reason I will stick with ksp 2 is this statement

[limber light]

yup

also forgot to respond to the other statement - my theory is that ksp2 has been sabotaged by investors

ppl make money by the "short squeeze" making it fail, they did the same to tesla when it started

even if wrong, its something that has been done deliberately, its not just random

okay, looks like the kerbal portrats are generated randomly based on the name

so we cant have custom name AND custom portrait, only one or the other

gonna take a quick look and see if the kerbal features like hairstyle can be changed easily

otherwise ill have to sacrifice customization options

funny ppl

aw man

the colonist random attributes are in there somewhere i think

we were so close

[uneven arch]

👀

[limber light]

oh the humans mod already does this

AND they do have localized names, just not implemented

and even biographies

this is wild

[limber light]

okay we have a plan

need this update out tonight

the player kerbal will just be random but to customize it u can use the kerbonaut manager or humans mods

humans doesnt seem to have all the customization options like glasses and beards but its a lot better than what i can do rn

[sacred sleet]

Where is it being uploaded?

[limber light]

see link in OP

app status report will just be what the kerbals are doing

to see how they are doing, the PAL 5000 will get a health diagnostic, and for psychological it will require an interaction with kerbals

[limber light]

https://ksre.sourceforge.io/

0.23.10

• Bugfixes + improved UI style for Kerbal Life App
• Added initial crew status readouts to Kerbal Life App
• Added Behavioral Health science specialization

[limber light]

UI is looking good enough considering its IMGUI

time to add atrophy mechanic

[cunning cape]

we have to wait for more parts that can counter this

[buoyant lantern]

Circling back to the parts degradation and inspection:
Let's say I'm putting a rocket on the launch pad and then notice that two of the four boosters are "worn", i.e. will have a rather high risk of failing, what may I do with that information?
Recover the craft and build it anew, hoping that this time the parts suppliers (the RNG?) will deliver better quality?

Not to be critical, just trying to understand the design rationale.

[cunning cape]

Suggestion, with PAL, descriptions should say what the upgrade does, or what it is for. if that is possible

[limber light]

overall, if u like more information on the mod i suggest the technique page, it explains most of it

https://sourceforge.net/p/ksre/details/Technique/

[limber light]

as for atrophy, im thinking to repurpose the orbital lab for this

the current experiment is a duplicate of the smaller orbital survey part anyway

so u get atrophy from long time in low g, u can go to lab to exercise

and earn some science from this instead

[limber light]

0.23.11

• Removed stock science experiment from orbital lab
• Some UI improvements + localization fixes

[limber light]

kerpal employment simulator

[buoyant lantern]

I was trying to avoid that, due to the spoiler warning. 😀

Having read some of it now, I'm amazed and at the same time overwhelmed by the scope and complexity you're apparently aiming for. 😮
I'm wondering whether anyone would be able to work out just a fraction of the gameplay mechanics just by playing.
Maybe the Technique page should simply be called The Manual?

[limber light]

everything in there is already in the game

unless noted as "planned" or "not implemented"

the buttons are multiplying

[limber light]

prolly gonna do another update in a bit as there was a bug in the UI

i need to add the two kerbal damage types together (medicine and psychology) so that will take a bit more design work

but i think first iteration of that will be basic atrophy for physical and for psychology it will be from getting fired

hiring and firing is a good simple one to begin with for psychology

[limber light]

the other ones i was thinking are homesickness and loneliness for psychology

[limber light]

https://ksre.sourceforge.io/
0.23.12

• Added hire button for other agency crew members in Kerbal Life
• Added crew list for player agency + removed single crew cap
• UI bug hotfix + other minor fixes

[grave parrot]

@limber light Does KSRe work on Sandbox mode or is it only for Exploration?

[limber light]

both 🙂

[limber light]

the life sim needs more design work and setting up in the backend

so i might split my workload between that and finishing off some of the smaller stuff like wheel and aero damage

[limber light]

not sure this is quite acceptable lol

everything is a separate mesh

i think this is ok without the kerbal tho

[limber light]

and this is why the coders shouldnt do the art

not sure if its better or worse lol

[grave parrot]

Why do you need to model a Kerbal?

[limber light]

gotta add kerbals to the diagnostic system

so need wireframe

[lusty laurel]

where do i get level 1 assembly?

[lusty laurel]

slight bug, you can click through the windows

[limber light]

if u want to learn the rocket science types, i suggest checking in the career section after u earn some

making lots of progress on dating sim atm

the psychology branch has been super fun to program after working on all the parts and technical stuff, its very different

[limber light]

at this stage looking at a major update next with the first proper kerbal life mechanics

[limber light]

that said, i might just put the basics into a minor update today, idk

basing my development plans around a meme is probably a bad idea

[limber light]

Acquaintance Colleague Pal Bestie Companion

i think these are the friendship levels that ill narrow it down to, seems like a good total

with level 0-4 in each one

[sacred sleet]

Kerpanion?

[limber light]

and companion being the highest one is basically vague, u can interpret that as a relationship

[sacred sleet]

😄

[limber light]

hmm never thought of kerbalizing them

the names are easy to change later, its just picking the overall structure to begin with

[sacred sleet]

Not sure how you'd kerbalize the rest but that was the only one I saw that seemed fitting XD

[limber light]

its good

ya i think the top one at least needs something like this

im also 50/50 on using "bestie"

[sacred sleet]

Kerquantants?

oop missing an i

Kerquaintants

[limber light]

ok we need more thought in the names for sure

[sacred sleet]

For sure XD

Ill come back with something batter LOL

better* sheesh cant type today

[limber light]

its quite a challenge

as there are so many interpretations and nuances

i wanna use pal as the main one tho as there's already PAL 5000

[sacred sleet]

Kerpanions

KerPals

[limber light]

ohh kerpals is good

[sacred sleet]

KerMates

[limber light]

i already call them that lol

[sacred sleet]

I liked that one too XD

[limber light]

okay this feature might be delayed while we figure out the names

need to submit it to the community for feedback

[limber light]

some brainstorming: kerbsters, kerbies, kerbuds, kerbuddies, kerberders,

[grave parrot]

Good luck with foreign localization

[limber light]

google does that for me

i used to use a batch translator but the site went down

https://sourceforge.net/p/ksre/code/ci/main/tree/localizations/loc.csv

300+ lines in 12 languages so far

def been falling behind on my duolingo since i joined discord tho

[limber light]

lets see

7 missions with briefings, a few part titles and descriptions, about a hundred part subtitles, 20 for part modules, a few resource names and abbreviations, 15 tech node names, 1 experiment name and descriptions, probably 100 custom titles for the UI, about 10 custom editor category phrases and a few other bits and pieces

all in 12 base game languages

so yea, a few extra phrases for the kerbal UI are a drop in the ocean

one day i dream of living in a non-english speaking country and never using this terrible language again

anyways, death will take me long before i get that chance

2 weeks the project will become public domain

(not that anyone cares lol)

[tall kindle]

did you take this down? Every link in this thread opens sourceforge but redirects to sourceforge.net/directory/game-mods/

[lusty laurel]

i might be addicted to this mod

[cunning cape]

im addicted but im kinda loss/stuck

imma try a few more things before i call help

[lusty laurel]

same because i can't upgrade my deep throttle or repairs enough

also am i the only one who doesn't see repairs anywhere in the career menu

[cunning cape]

yeah the menu has diappeared

im lost on what i need to do go more due to higher stuff

im just gonna bypass it

also this node is incredible broken

[lusty laurel]

good i'm not the only one without those diagnostic stuff

also those diagnostics nodes should explain what it changes because like why should i get those

i just completed that mission why am i getting it again

[cunning cape]

im just losing hope

get into orbit

oh wait part failure, where is it

once you hit like 30-40 parts its almost unmangeable finding the broken part and repairing it

past few days trying to see what breaks

thats why i just wish to have a kerbal on board and if they see a broken part they just repair it

5~ seconds * 130~ parts 10.8 minutes cut that in half just to call it even, 5 minutes to find the single part if its just one

and when you realise only the mono prop engines never fail, it blows that it doesn't listen to decouples, it shares all fuel every stage..

don't worry tho im only a few rp away from getting better rockets, just a matter if i could

[lusty laurel]

my lazy ass kerbal isn't repairing anything 😭

[cunning cape]

im tired of trying find them tbh

just at the stage that i need stuff just to work to test if the rocket can get into orbit,

but you get something like

130 part craft, launch, on the launch pad "Part Ruined 2189315y4u38"

looks in the book thing to find what broke, seeing numbers for minutes have gone around the list of numbers a few times now

gives up launches

first stage almost goes all the way perfect besides a little tilt issue.

thats fine it must be the ruined part

, next stage 4 part failures, mass explosion

restart, now 2 parts ruined, launch, it explodes on launch pad.

ok let me just put a kerbal on it, relaunch it (only can do bottom stage finds nothing)

rinse and repeat pre dating update

"oh just do more repairing on parts"

the parts that fail only get used once, you do other parts, is just not enough for the failures to stop

[lusty laurel]

oh and the guy who made this left

for some reason

[cunning cape]

its such a good mod tho

[lusty laurel]

and the link is now gone

like it does not exist anymore

[cunning cape]

i love it, just a matter how can i get damages proper, im just thinking what i can do

[cunning cape]

he might have left due to this? idk, im just thinking what i can do better™️

[lusty laurel]

yeah but why leave each and every server you're in

you can just stay but not be on discord

[cunning cape]

idk i hope he comes back soon™️

[lusty laurel]

also taking down KSRe so like idk what happened

[cunning cape]

and it seems KSRe was taken down before i was even awake :(

[limber light]

finally some bugs to investigate

good feedback ty

my brain is stuck in the IRC era of quitting a server when leaving

[uncut ferry]

oh hi haha

there was some panic here and on the KSC server when you left😅

[limber light]

i leave often

the site is gone permanently tho, ill probably put it on spacedock next time

there u go for now

[lusty laurel]

thanks for the jumpscare sunnypunny

[cunning cape]

huge jumpscare

[cunning cape]

First satalite in space full orbit with relay

[lusty laurel]

oh sunnypunny left again

[cunning cape]

bruh

[lusty laurel]

oh well

[grave parrot]

How can you tell if he left or not?

[cunning cape]

name turns white and then you dont see more deatils about profile etc

[lusty laurel]

oh when you do make sure to not delete it and then disappear for a few hours

[cunning cape]

we might need to tell him he can mute the servers so he doesn't leave

[lusty laurel]

they

[cunning cape]

sorry 🙏

[cunning cape]

wow the grind from 4 to 5, to level 6 is hard.. is level 6 max level?

[limber light]

theres a couple of tier 7 techs

that OP nuclear engine

ill probably just put the updates here for a bit

gotta put my head down and work for a while

so far the hiring and firing effects are in, kerbal dialogue notifications and introductory atrophy effects

still gotta redesign the agencies so there's a distinction between crew and manufacturers, add EVA dialogues and maybe the kerbal health diagnostic

the whole backend needs a redesign tbh as its a mess but that takes too much time

i finally figured out how to access the game assets from code, so we can do things like this :

so this means the manufacturer agencies dont need crew, they get a logo instead

and some other agencies will be the ones with the crews

but yea i get a bit too much IRL harassment whenever i do anything online

im heavily stalked so its best to do nothing as much as possible

but if anyone else wants to put the mod on spacedock and keep it up there go ahead, thats best i think

just recommend to use an alias instead of identifying urself to these ppl

[limber light]

0.24.0 - Kerbal Life

• Added Kerbal buffs for wings, kerbonaut rank & veterans
• Added Kerbal damage from being fired + therapy buffs
• Added Kerbal atrophy damage in low G + KSC recovery buff
• Added initial Kerbal dialogue notifications
• Delayed agency introductions in campaign + added notifications on opening
• Minor fixes & changes

plz check ur saves after update, may be some bugs in this one

gotta keep charging on tho

[limber light]

might be best to keep the mod in the underground for a little while actually

may be some roughness in the next few updates

bringing the kerbals to life is very chaotic and a bug magnet

[limber light]

yappity yap

the next thing is the eva interface

this will bring some design changes to the damage, which were inspired by the kerbals, where every part will take each damage type at a different rate

as the kerbal damage and part damage become identical, so does the interface

and this can be used to repair parts and chat with a kerbal

[lusty laurel]

wake up babe new ksre update

[limber light]

guess they never expected players to get notifications in the ksc scene

[lusty laurel]

Hey

[limber light]

we have flags

had to move the kerbal role down the bottom which is confusing tho

the whole app is confusing tbh

now just need to figure out how to layout about 20 dialogue options in the tiny diagnostic window

glad im just a coder and not a UI person

when in doubt use a table

this is going to be the most sci fi dating app ever

POG

ksre gonna win a prize for worst dating sim UI

[lusty laurel]

can't wait to date a sim

[limber light]

this is my kind of dating interface

pick your tie fighter candidates

[limber light]

it begins

more like kerbal psychology simulator but u can interpret it however

[limber light]

yapped so much the players probably cant even find the last update any more

0.24.1

• Added agency flags to Kerbal Life app with some layout changes
• Added Kerbal intro notifications on new game start + app selection

love a good flag

[limber light]

much better

[lusty laurel]

wake up babe new ksre update

[cunning cape]

@limber light do you think you can nerf the "enchanced electrical"

i dont mind getting parts that are not able to be used until later, but this seems like the most op node, you get tons of solar panels that makes anything else not worth it, and then ontop of that tons of nuclear power... i understand that you said when you added the mods is its "introduction" but i think you can def do with enlarged power systems, to be able to divide it into 6~ nodes instead of 2 nodes.

[limber light]

is it kesa solar?

i definitely rushed thru those patches

ya these r a mess, ill fix in next update

[cunning cape]

:D ty ty

[limber light]

the names on these things r so confusing

[limber light]

ok fixed

[cunning cape]

:D

[limber light]

chonky minor update almost done

lots of dating sim candidates in this 1

[limber light]

0.24.2 - Kerbonaut Agencies

• Added some hidden in-game agencies to Kerbal Life
• Added Kerbal damage whenever other Kerbonauts are lost or quit
• Changed Kerbonaut wings requirement to EVA
• Improved mod compatibility patch for KESA Solar
• Added PAL 5000 title to probe EVA portrait
• Other minor changes

Exploration

• Added Kerbonaut/science/manufacturer icons to categorize agencies
• Removed auto-respawn for Kerbonauts & reduced initial spawn count
• Added Kerbonaut spawns during campaign progress events
• Only regular Kerbonauts from other agencies can be hired
• Kerbonaut agencies appear during campaign progression

[uneven arch]

But will the probe really be my pal

[limber light]

0.24.3

• Hotfix for first mission in Exploration

if u started a new campaign for the last update 0.24.2 that hotfix is needed, otherwise d/w

[limber light]

also i see the issue with these TNO reactors as well

time for a tech tree update

this is what im thinking for the start tech atm

the challenge is making something that caters to all experience levels

i think this will provide enough content and challenges for beginners, along with creative potential for experienced players

i imagine the common approach will be to create a tall beam with a seat on top and jump off or something like this

so some engagement with the kerbals and the simplest form of the physics sim is encouraged

even better

so much u can do with these 3 parts tbh

also good to encourage ways to earn science from impact damage

[limber light]

k gonna move it to curseforge

didnt realise they also have git, this will work

might have to wait until they approve it b4 i can use the repo

im such a noob

BACK IN MY DAY

[limber light]

Math.Pow(1.047, ((part.SimObjectComponent.ThermalData.Temperature - heatDmgThreshold) / (part.SimObjectComponent.PartData.maxTemp - heatDmgThreshold)) * 75) - 1);

when u have to go back and figure out how

[limber light]

love this formula

[lusty laurel]

CURSE FORGE

[lusty laurel]

this is weird

i just finished the 2000m/s mission.. this shouldn't have happened.. right?

[cunning cape]

never got that hight

[lusty laurel]

yeah me neither

i don't think that should have happened

[lusty laurel]

how do i upgrade the spark part grade

and why does my vessel explode each time i enter the muns soi

[limber light]

okay we r back

for the mun thing yes the rocket science seems correct

for the explosion my guess is phantom g forces on SOI transitions when the reference frame changes

could u do ctrl+c to show the spacewarp log and check for red error messages when that happens

[lusty laurel]

also my craft explodes for no reason during reentry, yes, it shows the heating bar but it isn't even close to the top

[limber light]

as for the science, i would have to see the save file, that seems way too high, which mission is it?

that sounds correct for heating

[lusty laurel]

the one where you have to go higher than 2000m/s

[lusty laurel]

does it?

[limber light]

attempting reentry without heat shields is not realistic

[lusty laurel]

i do have heatshields

should i stage to expose the heatshield?

[limber light]

k

[lusty laurel]

oh okay now it worked

[limber light]

im not the solver of gameplay, u can play the mod to discover things, but from testing it seems the heating changes are fine atm

[lusty laurel]

thanks

[limber light]

overall the mod is aiming to add some realism, where in the base game u can do anything without heatshields, in reality things would explode, and so in the mod

[lusty laurel]

should i send you the Logoutput.log?

[limber light]

the only time stuff re-enters without heatshields IRL is to destroy it

just a screenshot is fine

if u get error messages

but i noticed this when using the teleporter as well, i think i know the source of it

[lusty laurel]

yeah i did too, i was wondering why that kept happening

well if you find the fix please do inform me since it's a little frustrating lol

[limber light]

its spiking g forces at very high values

like instant very high g but only very brief

[lusty laurel]

why does it do that, though?

[limber light]

probably when vessels are moved

whats the exact number on that mission

theres nothing in the loc with 2000

[lusty laurel]

this

it for some reason displays 1140 when it actually should be 2000m/s

and the mission name and description are the same

[limber light]

oh the mod mission

peeler the clown

sounds about right

idk looks fine to me

[lusty laurel]

but there's 2 missions that are the same

and one of them gives you 5500 science points for some reason

[limber light]

oh yep theres a localization bug

i swear i fixed that already

the science might be a stock bug, its definitely 50

[lusty laurel]

well guess i'm gonna enjoy the free science

[limber light]

can u send the save file?

just the json

i can clamp the gee damage but the question is where

it used to be clamped

[lusty laurel]

well i've got like a million save files i don't know which one to send, should i just send the most recent autosave?

[limber light]

just any json after u got the 5k science and saved the game

save file will tell me how u got it

or even a screenshot is fine

104 G spike when teleporting

i bet its the same on SOI transitions

[crude pilot]

where is the G data coming from here?

[limber light]

all i need is this part

VesselBehavior.SimObjectComponent.geeForce

[lusty laurel]

what do the pal upgrades even do btw

[limber light]

its a mystery

alr found some good bugs already ty

bug hunting is the best

[lusty laurel]

now fixing those makes it even better

for everyone

[limber light]

mkay

when the parts explode, send in a kerbal instead

kerpal teleportation syndrome is the safest method of space travel

initial tests indicate that the candidate VALENTINA KERMAN sustained 388ms of 553 gees

now we will proceed to test a SOI transition

modding is actually fun sometimes

another ~400ms of 240 gees this time upon using the teleportation device to setup a mun intercept trajectory

damn this game is good, i havent played in ages

as if it doesnt tell u the time to encounter

i bet there are tons of phantom g forces once u start timewarping like mad

138 gees on SOI transition without timewarp

but only 1 gee with timewarp

gee rates definitely seem to decrease with higher timewarp rates

so if u wanna avoid this bug just use timewarp and the vessel will survive rn

i think it would be rare that players arent in timewarp during SOI transitions

so idk about a fix

stock bugs aint my department 🤷

[cunning cape]

real

[limber light]

0.24.4

• Restored hire button for Chief Kerbonauts
• Minor fixes
  Exploration
• Minor rebalance for some tech progressions
• Improved mod compatibility patches for TNO + KESA Solar

[lusty laurel]

yoink

[crude pilot]

I wonder if geeForce_immediate might be any better.
I thumbed through the code and seems like the smoothed version might have a bug when the soi changes. I'm not %100 but I suspect the _orbitalAccelSmoother is not accounting for SOI change

[lusty laurel]

does this fix the soi change

[limber light]

u can just increase timewarp rate to fix it

or u can also switch away from that as active vessel during soi change

geeForce_immediate is gravity

spiked even worse on SOI change

[limber light]

holy moly

literally all it needs is some patch manager copy pasta

surprised nobody has modded this in yet

best bang for buck level of content in terms of effort right here

[grave parrot]

You also need to write code to check if the mission is completed, don't you?

[limber light]

how do i quote myself LOL

[limber light]

this

i added 7 custom missions already, most of the work is design and localization

then just copy paste patch manager templates and edit a few values

gonna do these ones next, this is epic

all the heavy lifting is done already

time to go underground and avoid the weekend onslaught

[grave parrot]

Land a vessel on Tylo with a current mass of at least 300 tons
This sounds very hard

[lusty laurel]

waait whaat

are you actually kidding me

good thing this isn't implemented, i hate those kinds of missions

[grave parrot]

lol

[limber light]

10x nerf for both those

idk why players get the most upset about things that take ~2min to fix

also, constantly posting negativity in here is just going to get u ignored

i been working on this project for years starting in ksp1, and continually slamming me over it is not going to get ur goal of taking it out

ill be continuing to work on it regardless of ur negative opinions until im dead, which will also be soon

[lusty laurel]

someone was being negative?

[limber light]

because i enjoy it

get lost troll

if u dont want me here go complain to the moderators or whatever

beyond that go away

and stop using ppl who create free content as a punching bag for ur personal problems

particularly when they are clearly gender + ethnic minorities and u kinda obviously arent

it reeks

anyways, initially i have the 5 hidden kerbin missions for the next update

gonna integrate these with the current pre-orbit mission progression and balance it all

doing the entire game at once is a bit much

so i think ill rebalance up to the mun missions, and also aiming to add science for medicine + psychology

[lusty laurel]

waitwait do you think i was being negative? if so i wasn't trying to talk bad about your mod, i think it's amazing. i've just been reporting bugs

[limber light]

also with a bit more feedback in the app for when kerbals are in therapy or recovery from atrophy

i was thinking about using the diagnostic UI but i haven't come up with any designs that i like yet, so this will be a starting point at least

the conversation interface is also too complex so im delaying that, it needs better design

matches the new starting tech well

personally i hate all the frontend stuff like art and localization, so its nice to just be able to focus on design and coding for once with all these stock localized hidden missions

the thing i hate the most about this project is the "PR" side of it, i wish i could just avoid everyone and do the parts i enjoy

unfortunately after years of work it has reached the point where it needs that and nobody else will do it

if it was up to me i'd press the delete button on the entire thing and throw it in the garbage bin

but im doing it for a homicide victim i knew so i can't rly

but if ppl wanna come in here and troll me u can know that i have zero interest in any kind of community engagement

the ksp community has turned into a cesspit since 2015 when i started modding, it was completely different back then

social media is a nightmare

[lusty laurel]

i don't see what i did to offend you, we can talk about this in DM's if you want to, since i didn't mean to be rude or harass you or anything

[cunning cape]

i think these missions would have been fine with not just stock ksp 1~ ish parts, things like colonies, interstellar etc

[lusty laurel]

yeah definitely

like the chonker missions rn are so difficult

[cunning cape]

like its once again more and more, stuff implemented for later never to see the light of day

true, however for some users, it is a challenge regardless, and with that being a secondary mission, it "should" be rewarded with some science

hopefully we will see them in game, def a good part of ksp 2, a blank board that has tons of potential (reason why i like ksre) adds that touch of pain that ksp 2 missed, but never was needed

needed meaning for most players, i doubt most people would "want" to play ksp 2 stock like ksre

[lusty laurel]

yeah

0.24.5

• Added KSC therapy + recovery status displays in Kerbal Life
• Reduced Kerbal crash tolerance
• Bugfix for Kerbals receiving wings without going to space
  Exploration
• Added 20+ hidden base game secondary missions
• Completed initial missions overhaul with rebalanced progression + rewards

last one for here, the rest will be on curse

^ spoiler is the missions layout

the heavy landing missions got a 10x nerf so its only e.g. 20t to minmus

the grand tour missions might be bugged, i need to test them

but without those its still +15 or so stock missions, it looked like they were pretty much done but didnt have time to finish the backend integration

surprised nobody else found them and added them, it took very little time and effort

anyways enjoy, i probably wont be around any more

[lusty laurel]

nice update

[limber light]

back under protest i guess

the future updates will be on curse, they take the time to approve uploads so its safer for ppl i think

https://www.curseforge.com/kerbal-space-program-2/mods/ksre

with a good initial picture of the entire mission progression sketched out, i wanna add some of the late game tech using mod parts

gonna open up tier 8 tech with the nuclear fission reactors

i like the idea of these tech being huge projects that take insane amounts of science, with very few techs around

dunno if these are meant to be balanced against the stock fission reactor

might have to just add 4 tech for all the TNO parts

[limber light]

okay we have the bug tracker in the OP now

anyone who reports a bug that makes it to the tracker gets a free feature request

[cunning cape]

just did the "fly and land safely and uh.. 3.7k exp

i aint gonna complain :3

[limber light]

now thats a psychologist

i know the source of this bug but havent been able to reproduce it so far

its all bc a stock message isnt implemented

and i cant figure out how to trigger something when the mission completes

the code should work but its been bugging out a lot even before now, idk why

[limber light]

** 0.24.6**

• Added Kerbal impact damage with in-flight feedback & KSC med bay status
• Added treatment for damaged Kerbals + progressive science rewards
• Added wheel + landing gear damage, science, part grades & manufacturers
• Added Kerbal Life app mode toggle button to browse agencies by type
• Roughly finished initial tech tree overhaul with added crew & utility techs
• A range of minor & localizations fixes

[limber light]

rip, forgot to add part grade failures to wheels

almost worth a hotfix for that

when it comes to testing, this mod author gets a big F

the bugs have multiplied, hotfix needed

[limber light]

hotfix is up https://www.curseforge.com/kerbal-space-program-2/mods/ksre

just fyi, not sure how long i will be here as im kept in the dark about everything now

but if i vanish u can takeover the mod and do whatever

if anyone wanna make a repo and let me push to that it would be helpful

[sacred sleet]

https://github.com/SirWiseKnight/KSRe Hope this helps. Set it to public.

[limber light]

cool ty

here is the source

[shell wing]

Whats that

[jovial pulsar]

Hey, I just wanted to ask if you would put a license into your #1168292144507793488 post with the mod, technically nobody is allowed to touch the source code without it

Awesome work by the way!

[limber light]

sure, i forgot

this the KSP2 EULA from steam, my interpretation is basically "the publisher owns all mods and mod authors aren't allowed to claim copyright"

if u still need something i can put public domain i think, i'm not gonna claim copyright on anything tho

feel free to do whatever u like with the source

[jovial pulsar]

I wouldn't interpret it that way, since it says "The Software may allow you to create content, including ...", but we're not using the game to create the content, mods can technically be created even if you don't have the game at all

but yes, please at least mark the mod as "public domain" if that's what you wish 🙂 since technically if you don't, it's considered "all rights reserved"

[limber light]

joys of the law lol

[lusty laurel]

persistent rotation?

peak

[limber light]

u can delete the thread now 🙂

no need for more communications

leaving the server permanently due to persistent harassment

ill put the mod somewhere else where i can avoid these ppl

plz delete the threads

[crude pilot]

wait whaaat? Who?
Just block and report them as necessary

[lusty laurel]

yeah i'm also confused

[cunning cape]

:(

[cunning cape]

i enjoy talking to you on this mod? who is harassing you, should def report them.

[flat kiln]

Yeah there’s a report feature/block/mute feature for a reason

[bold owl]

Never got his wish

[limber light]

yup

but i made a good effort at least

[limber light]

does anyone still have the last release?

looks like 0.31.0

i was working on integration with the life support mod then my pc died and i lost everything

[limber light]

for now here is the old description

https://web.archive.org/web/20250209092719/https://spacedock.info/mod/3720/KSRe

if anyone has 0.31.1 lying around in their mods folder it would be super helpful to get me back up on this

( i still have the backend but lost the public release files)

[limber light]

dev summary: the last update (0.31.1) included integration with the klss mod, as this mod needs a unique life support design to fit the overall isru system. hopefully i can find the release somewhere to rebuild it and preserve those changes. the next steps are providing a release again that i can support, fixing the typo bug that broke the repairs, reducing repair times to account for the eva timewarp instability in the base game, and for a new feature i'm thinking about bringing back reputation like in ksp, except as two values - reputation being good to bad, and notoriety being high to low.

[limber light]

hey if you're still around, do you still have the mod release? i lost it

[limber light]

this is what i have for now as the first rebuilt release

still hoping we can find 0.31.1 somewhere

[limber light]

most of the mod content is now covered in the website https://www.tumblr.com/ksre-ksp2

i know most of the nerds want all the spoilers but it has been difficult to keep things simpler for the average player. tumblr worked really well, surprisingly

[limber light]

might have to give up on trying to find 0.31.1 and just keep this rollback and push on
