The Packrat Rover, AES, and other planetary exploration craft
License: Other
This repository is a publishing point for the entire suite of USI mods for Kerbal Space Program packaged in a single download. All source code and game assets reside in the GitHub repositories for the individual mods included in this download.
AES Structural Outrigger once attached to i.e. AES pod looses any other attachment nodes. this is assuming you use one of the 2 radial attachment nodes not the small extruded one
Note that issue is observed in version 0.24.2 on USI All.-in-One pack 6/10 release i believe
The packrat front section which has an unmanned command module is oriented upwards, intended for assembly in the VAB. Instead, if should be pointing forward, as if it were intended for assembly in the SPH.
Silly place to ask, I know, but what's the name of the song you used in the AES teaser video?
In reference to the thread post about the Safety Light being so KAS large
My suggestion was to make it 8, in line with Squad Lights. Currently it is 20
BTW this was my first Github, hope I got it where you wanted it.
I don't believe that's supposed to be like that.
Modlist: Chatterer, Community Resource Pack(CRP), Distant Object Enhancements, Extraplanetary Launchpads, KIS, Mechjeb, KAC, Hotrockets, Exploration Pack, Karbonite, Warpdrive
I started with a clean 1.0
I suspect it's an issue with distant object enhancements, but idk. I'll do some testing if you want, but for now I don't even know if this applies to the AES pod aswell.
You told me to send you this so that you could add a hover mode to the electric fan. I hope I have done this correctly.

Hello there, I don't know if anyone has signaled it yet but the ModuleRCSFX included in the Exploration Pack mod is causing serious troubles when trying to EVA in space.
I was not able to control anything and had to diagnostic it with a new stock save to isolate, adding mods mods in a dichotomous way.
So yeah, without this directory in my GameData, all is fine!
Just had a contract to test the AES pod landed at Kerbin.
So I went into the VAB, selected a pod, and nothing else. Launched it.
The game seemed to think I was both flying and landed simultaneously, flipping back and forth between the two quite frequently.
I managed to eventually run the test (had to be 'landed' at the moment I hit the button, which just meant hitting the button repeatedly).
'Recovering' the vessel was impossible, as the readout that the button is hidden under kept flipping out and covering the button before I could even see it, so I tried hitting 'Space Center' in the ESC menu.
I guess in the microsecond of time between me hitting the button and it unloading the scene, it flipped the pod back into a 'flying' status.
Jeb is now KIA.
.
If reproducing this issue is difficult, it might actually be interaction between this and a mod called "Landing Height"? I haven't tested for that.
Ducted fan engines look and feel wise could be used with other mods i.e. B9 to create VTOL SSTOs.
The problem is that currently Ducted Fan engine requires ElectricCharge only provided by nuclear generators. Making LF powered Generator(s) that could power 2-4 ducted fan engines would expand the use of ducted fan engine way beyond the just mod scope. Proposal would be the following:
1x Small LF generator - able to power 2x Ducted fans
2x Medium LF generator - able to power 4x Ducted fans
They should be fuel efficient enough, but not too fuel efficient so they are not mis-used for Electric charge generation on longer trips
Side windows or small view ports, to help with orientation near large bodies.
Also, rover guy asked for a pull request of a .cfg to add rpm support to the pod. Don't know how to do that........
When on a rescue mission I found a Kerbal inside the HERP jumpseat missing her helmet. Looks funny though :)
I drove around at the space center and tried to "leave seat" on the launchpad and it froze or crashed the game every time. After driving away from the lauch pad I could exit the packrat.
Not sure if it's intended or not. But the crp folder in this mod has none of the resources in it.. If people like me erase and replace all folders on updating mods, the could end up with no resources being available depending how people install or update stuff.
ExpPack/HERP/parts/HERP_JumpSeat.cfg
node_stack_bottom = 0, -0.22, 0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0
Switching to this resolves the issue for me:
node_stack_bottom = 0, -0.22, 0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0
The interior of the cockpit when viewed from the outside on IVA is transparent.
Surface Attachment is enabled, but no node_attach is defined so the defaults to the center of the part.
not a big issue with part rotation and offsetting in .90 but it's an easy fix
node_attach = 0, -0.65, 0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0
same node location as node_stack_Bottom with the connection axis inverted.
currently have this fixed on my install with a simple MM patch, works fine.
The 4-jet RCS thruster part in AES, while extremely cool, suffers severely from being an inline stack part. Because this precludes sliding the part along the body of the ship, balancing RCS thrust on ships using this part is extremely difficult and time consuming, involving stacking and restacking the whole body of the ship many times, adding and subtracting parts and trying all their permutations. This is so much work that it means the part will probably see much less use than it deserves, and RoverDude says the alternative of writing a module to allow tweakable RCS thrust is also more trouble than it's worth.
Therefore, I suggest making a surface-attached, 1-arm version of this part. Just 1 of the arms with the 6-way thruster on the end. That way, you could attach multiple copies with symmetry and slide them fore and aft to achieve RCS balance, just as you do with the stock 4-way RCS block, EDIT: but improved with beer and hookiers :)

The AR202 case is almost the size of the side of the AEV pod. I'm looking into how to add them myself, but adding MechJeb functionality to them might be cool.

Thanks
Hardpoint for ease of attachment would be nice, since currently (ExPack 1.3) they don't do symmetry properly (one rotor ends up flipped 180 degrees). Or just fix symmetry.
Also another neat feature might be to enable reverse rotation (i.e- reversing the thrust vector). Since as of the current version (above), the rotors have a set "away" vector, setting up tail rotors with them is pointless and even more- highly hazardous (meaning you might wanna review your promotional images). As the rotors are ducted, fail rotors (we really need another word here) are actually unnecessary as the air current created by them gets directed downwards, making the nullifying effect of a rear fan (the tail rotor) unneeded. The only upside of having a tail rotor in such a case would be to facilitate sharp turns (which would necessitate the "reverse rotation" suggested above).
In any case, loving the packs

If you rotate the command pod any way other then how its placed in the hangar the IVA won't be correct.
KAS containers, life support
The MiniWheel can only be taken out of a KAS container once. If it is stored again and taken out of the the container again, it won't properly attach to the Kerbal and subequent KAS actions are broken.

I'm no mod developer but as far as I can see, it is now named ModuleKISPickup in Mod KIS.
Now for Transport packrat is need a 2,5m kontainer, probably is better revert https://github.com/BobPalmer/ExplorationPack/issues/65 to some sane values, on this way can fit inside 1.25 kontainer

The maintenance pod doesnt have a external command seat? i think i saw a fix a while back but i dont seem to be able to find it now, i have installed the hotfix but i still have no seat.
Looking at the speed curve the first number is the speed in m/s. However on stock jets the first number looks to be mach. It's complicated by the fact stock jets use ModuleEnginesFX while the fan uses ModuleEngines and I can't seem to find how they differ.
the new KIS settings make it a bit OP. All of the parts have been set with a KIS storage override of 100 and the wheels at 700. So based on this you can fit 7 complete packrats (with top rack) into an MKS base unit. A complete packrat will fit into a KIS small container with room to spare. It doesn't really fit with the way KIS storage size works.
The AES Pod internals immediately fall through the ground upon loading to launchpad. Switching to IVA view only shows instrument panel, all other internals are missing.

From the forum thread:
"I'd like a middle chassis section for the rover to be able to extend the rovers length."
When using KIS to assemble packrat rover there is no easy way to detach rover from ground-attached construction stand. I use decouplers for it but problem is - stock decoupler can't be reused so I need one decoupler per rover assembled. It's not critical as small decouplers are light and cheap but having rechargeable decoupler will make life easier.
There are four possible variants
First variant looks for me more friendly to packrat rover as it's single part while second and third variants are more flexible but don't fit to ExplorationPack and may be better headed to KIS.
