I need to figure out how to write a MM config to add monopropellant fuel switch options to the stack size adapter tanks, I'd be able to streamline half my spacecraft significantly if I could use the otherwise structural tanks for monoprop >.>
<packbart>
which of the many fuel switchers do you use? I'm not sure if stock variants work without changing the model
<packbart>
hm. or maybe they do now?
<Izaya>
B9PartSwitch
<packbart>
hm. so a B9_TANK_TYPE for Monoprop probably already exists. then you'd need to add SUBTYPE {} blocks to the part's ModuleB9PartSwitch block (and create that if it doesn't exist)
<packbart>
figuring out the volume may be the tricky part
<packbart>
Load faster, KSP!
<packbart>
(ok, stock KSP without mods loads in 10s. I just had to use the modded thing :)
<Izaya>
I have other mods that seem to auto-calculate the stuff so it can't be too hard
<Izaya>
for LH2 and LCH4 and such
<Izaya>
(or if not auto-calculate then use existing values, \o/)

<packbart>
ah, right. if there already is a ModuleB9PartSwitch in the part, you'd only need to add a SUBTYPE { tankType = MonoPropellant }, I guess. the baseVolume should already be set

Mat2ch: You try to go to orbit with nothing but solid rockets. The robots just look at you like you're an idiot.
<Althego>
what robots?
<bees>
Althego: Goliath National Products has contracted you to develop the world's first orbit-capable, man-rated, slingshot launcher! You are swarmed by drones, but unfortunately they are from Google and come to consume your soul.

tries to go to orbit with just solids. Thumper+Flea
<SporkWitch>
darkie: see the video i linked earlier? someone managed a stable orbit using only air-breathing jet engines
<bees>
darkie: You tire of rockets, and decide to launch things into orbit with a giant gun. Fortunately, Kerbals are expendable.
<darkie>
Does it have to be outside the atmosphere to be in orbit? :)
<darkie>
Or just go around more than once? :)
<SporkWitch>
to be a stable orbit, yes. If you don't make it out of the atmosphere you've basically got a suborbital trajectory, since without continuously adding thrust you aren't staying up
<SporkWitch>
granted in the real world the line for "out of the atmosphere" is much blurrier than in KSP lol
<darkie>
Ditched 45 kg jetpack.
<darkie>
Orbit!
<darkie>
Does the use of reaction wheels to gain velocity stop it being going to orbit with only solids?
<Mat2ch>
SporkWitch: yes, that video. :D
<Mat2ch>
Shadowzone, iirc
<darkie>
Well, I made orbit, but without jetpack the Kerbal was stranded there. Could be picked up by something, though.
<darkie>
crashed
<darkie>
ofc I could use a command seat in a fairing instead of a capsule.

How do I activate an RCS thruster with 'fore by throttle'?
<flayer>
action groups?
<flayer>
there's a bunch of extra things listed nowadays
<SporkWitch>
action groups might do it, there are also mods that let you map RCS to throttle
