From what I've seen in this video and the small amount of gameplay I've done already I believe this is one the most transformative and well-made mods for KSP. This will be a must-have mod for me from now on!
Really wish you had made a video like this for the other more complicated elements of the mod, like understanding the effects of radiation, and how the life support systems differ from TAC. This is exactly the type of video I needed, so really well done and very to the point - just wish there were more! :P
Honnestly the science part is great, and should be in the stock game at least as an option ( only thing is that the experiment durations are weird lenghts, like 4mn56 or 8mn50 instead of like 5 or 10) and the life support/radiation/ failure part is pain but it's kind of the goal, so much more rewarding than in the stock game
Love the automatic science and additional power requirements. My main gripe is that it takes 3 clicks to get to the science window which is mandatory to have visible. I wish it also displayed a more accurate battery value so that it's not also required to have the resource window open. Being able to see the power draw next to each module on the same window would be nice too. Actually it would be nice to be able to see data/sample storage and transmission rate on the same window too. Anyway I'm currently playing science mode on 50% rewards and really struggling to reach solar panels which is a nice challenge compared to stock.
At 00:02:25 we can see that when you pass the mouse over "Crew Report", the floating window that appears is "cutted" by the bottom limit of the "File Manager" window... Is this fixable???? Sometimes I can't read the reports of experiments or informations about data transmission...
I used to find this mod a bit frustrating because I'm stupid and can't find out how to do things but this summed it up about perfectly. Now I can play an interstellar modpack without being an idiot :D
I have it installed, but haven't figured out how to get the data to transmit yet. But, like you were discussing, if a flight lasts shorter than the time needed to process the data - would you need to do a bunch of subsequent flights to complete the data? This is somewhat unrealistic. Imagine you build a real rocket with a accelerometer in it, and a way to transmit live data. You downlink as much as you can before the rocket crashes, but that data is still possible to use to calculate things like ISP for the motor long after the flight has ended. I don't see why the data needs to mature on the vessel in KSP before it can be sent, and you can spend the science points...
Great explanation! One question, is the Kerbalism Science balanced for a specific science gain? The stock science at 100% gain is too easy, it gets a bit grindy at 40%. Also, how is this balance with the new DLC science?
It's impossible to find a perfect balance. Everybody uses a different set of mods. Depending on the tech tree and science mods (including the breaking grounds DLC) you are using, you will have to find a good science setting that fits your game. The easy/moderate/hard presets are geared towards an otherwise unmodded game.
Thank you, this is very helpful. I really like the mod but accessing some of the menus can be a little unintuitive - I mean things like 'click the middle mouse button to access this menu' ! But good things are often not simple. I shall be referring back to this video I think.
Sometimes my antennas doesn't transmit data at all... If I randomly try to deactivate transmissions from the queue it start working sometimes is there anything I do not know when antennas can't send data? (Had enough ES)
The only way is to dock to a mobile processing lab and analyze the sample while remaining docked, this should restore the sampling mass in your experiment.
Okay, so the mod works as long as I'm on the ground only=P I'm using a mod that starts off with probes only, and all I have is the Stayputnik and some engines. It says I'm connected to DSN, but no data is transmitted even when an experiment runs to completion. The craft has no antennas, except for the internal one. In the file list, the data just sits there, flagged and all. What's wrong here?
how do you transfer samples to the pod and other parts? i clicked on "transfer data here" on "Experiment Return Unit" and nothing happens... I can say that my Mystery goo contain 51g sample and when i click to start it says "no storage"... i have a lot on ec and i have a good antenna...
Thank you for making this video. For those who don't know how to play using this mod, this is perfect.
Thanks! Was planning on doing something like that for a while. Maybe there will be additional tutorials for other topics in the future.
@@kerbalism9618
That would be great. Perhaps a Life Support guide?
@@MrSneakyGunz that's easy: bring enough oxygen, water and food. in that order :P
@@kerbalism9618 greenhouses should produce oxygen

Can't agree more

best science overhaul mod.
Kerbalism is the only way I play now. Please keep up the amazing work. Thank you for this mod!
I do wish this had a RemoteTech version.
Still a useful video in 2024. Thanks.
Just started using this mod and already liking what I've seen. Thanks for making this.
Nice video, make a lifesupport tutorial one :)
oooh this video finally made me start completely new game based on Kerbalism mod. i am in !

Great videos. Was very confused at first. Thanks

For the love of god you must do more videos. Your voice is awesome for this. :D
i love this addon... i'm so glad you updated it for 1.10... you are amazing! can you show us how lab works with kerbalism pls?

This should be stock KSP. I hope KSP2 will get inspiration by this.
Thx so much. This video gave me a lot of tips. But I am wondering how to add air pressure from nitrogen tank to the gravity ring.

Woah.
Do you get reduced values of science if you transmit data instead of recovering it?
Is the failure system incompatible with Oh Scrap?

Anyone know how to switch to normal science from ksp?
what can I use to store samples? I want to make a small re-entry capsule to return samples
Sometimes my antennas doesn't transmit data at all... If I randomly try to deactivate transmissions from the queue it start working sometimes is there anything I do not know when antennas can't send data? (Had enough ES)
спасибо за то что перевел субтитры, это очень мне помогло
Gracias entendí ya le entendí al modo un poco más
Is there a way to reset a sample experiment once it gets to the point of being depleted?
The only way is to dock to a mobile processing lab and analyze the sample while remaining docked, this should restore the sampling mass in your experiment.
@@kerbalism9618 Okay, cool. Thank you.
What mod do you use to make the parts more detailed?
Restock
@@alexb-mc4jo yooo thank you
Np also I think he also uses restock plus
This mod is awesome But I only get like 1-2 science per flight when starting a new save xD (I play at 60% science) Is this normal lol
Okay, so the mod works as long as I'm on the ground only=P

Sorry for the lateness, but you need an antenna.
how do you transfer samples to the pod and other parts? i clicked on "transfer data here" on "Experiment Return Unit" and nothing happens... I can say that my Mystery goo contain 51g sample and when i click to start it says "no storage"... i have a lot on ec and i have a good antenna...
ok i figured that out... you need to have crew in order to move samples around the craft (a thing that you can change in settings)
what is the texture mod you using please ?
Restock and restock plus
I got angry at this mod because it killed the kernels while I’m landing on the moon! I’m so angry!
