A "Probes/Planes Before Crew" overhaul of the Tech Tree that builds on the those concepts by adding part upgrades through the B9PS system and gameplay elements from certain mods for mods which are currently supported.
License: Other
Need to check that one can get both to orbit and to the Mun relatively easily both with and without Kerbalism installed. Once those milestones are achieved, it should be relatively straightforward for any player to proceed through either building small stations and/or planetary fly-bys with probes.
Confirm Support for Updates:
Update: July 2021
Missed editing the science definitions for SSPX
Custom contracts are likely to be helpful to promote progress. This will need enough playtime with the tech tree in order to know what are some interesting elements to incorporate from existing contract packs and where existing contract packs are lacking.
Use JadeofMaar's implementation of regex in cold RCS thruster code to automate the detailed descriptions of engines to make it easier to rebalance engines in the future without having to manually edit the detailed descriptions.
Likely to end up only for personal use as they are probably out of scope.
PlumeParty Vents didn't move to the correct node otherParts for reasons that are not clear.
Clamp-O-Tron working on a hypergolic fuel mix has given me the idea to add hypergolic engines to Kiwi Tech Tree, functionally converting those that are based off hypergolic engines in the same vein as CryoEngines. This will either patch in support directly if possible or keep to the same or very near conventions for compatibility. If Kerbalism is present, these engines would not have the ignition limits of Kerolox engines.
The idea would be to revamp the tech tree that could go one of two ways:
Use the current rocketry branch as the base which would contain an basic upgrade that takes the engines in its tier from 0 thrust to their baseline thrust. We then have three subbranches: Kerolox, Hydrolox/Methalox, and Hypergolic. The sub-branches would be at a lower cost to help maintain balance and not make it overly grindy to access. This would require nerfing all engines to begin with unless they have the upgrade for the baseline tier.
Have three branches: Kerolox, Hydrolox/Methalox, and Hypergolic and slightly lower the costs of each to keep the cost within each tier similar.
Move lifesupport a bit later to better coincide with pods in tech tree.
Implemented if Rational Resources is installed
My patch to get the Missing History parts to work with Restock did not work.
Current config in Smart Docking Aid:
@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleSAS]:HAS[#SASServiceLevel[3]]]:FOR[SmartDockingAid]
{
MODULE
{
name = ModuleDockingAid
}
}
// Deletes the ModuleDockingAid Module if it was added to a part with SASServiceLevel < 3.
@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleDockingAid],@MODULE[ModuleSAS]:HAS[~SASServiceLevel[3]]]:FOR[z_SmartDockingAid]
{
!MODULE[ModuleDockingAid],* {}
}
Need to do a late pass that adds the module in to probes available in later tech nodes. I don't think I can add entire modules in through part upgrades, so this will still lead to a difference amongst probes again. The alternative is to give all probes the ability to do parallel holds straightaway...
Kerbalism Gameplay Elements
Need to check this is compatible and then write some configs for some pods
Mod Support
** Initial Support **
I have introduced a lot of temporary variables in parts for the upgrades, should go through and clean them up.
Monopropellant engines should receive upgrades inline with LF/O style engine upgrades. This will happen after the 1.0 release.
If Cold Gas Thrusters are further expanded, these will may/need custom configs:
Add a B9 Upgrade system for batteries so their density increases over time.
Attempt to reduce their ability to quickly create infinite amounts of science.
ReStock 1.2.1 revamps the single-bell variant of the Poodle introduced in 1.10. That parts works in 1.09. To make it work better with RealPlume, think the solution is to split the engine into two parts. Gives an opportunity to tweak the stats between the two variants.
RCS Thrusters may benefit from being able to switch to different fuel types. This enhancement could be done through an upgrade system.
Added moduleIsEnabled to SAS module to disable the SAS module until a new Engineering101 upgrade. Allows the ability for "real" sounding rockets in the start. Found via forum user KerbMav
Currently not attaching to the Base part, needs further exploration.
Add in missing RealPlume support for Mk2 and Mk3 Stockalike engines.
