Supported Versions

  • 1.0.5
  • Added three new parts based on orbital reconnaissance satellites

    • All parts have pseudo-biome support; northern and southern hemispheres
    • Each part conducts an anomaly scan of the planet; used for anomaly contracts and the anomaly instrument
  • Single-Camera small recon satellite

    • 1.25m telescope
    • Two film canisters
  • Two-camera stereo recon satellite

    • 2.5m telescope
    • Four film canisters
  • Radio signals intelligence dish

    • 2.5m instrument; expands to 3m in the center
    • ~100m diameter radio dish
    • Dish cannot be retracted
    • Dish will break if open in the atmosphere
    • These settings can be altered in the part config file
    • Fully re-usable
  • New recon contracts

    • Contracts ask for a specific recon part and a specific orbit
    • Contracts are long-term, using the same system as magnetic survey contracts
    • Anomaly contracts are dependent on new recon contracts
  • Overhaul of all contracts

    • Existing contracts will not load correctly and will not be able to complete
      • Use the Contract tab in the Alt+F12 menu to force contracts to complete
    • Extensive contract configuration options
    • Contract config file found in GameData/DMagicOrbitalScience/Resources/DMContracts.cfg
    • Config file based on the stock contract config file
  • Fixes for seismic sensor parts

    • Seismic impact hammer no longer makes a minimum distance check
    • Impact hammer collider removed; no longer a threat of catapulting your vessel
    • Seismic sensor pod crash tolerance increased; decouple strength lowered
    • Seismic sensor pod cose, mass and size reduced
    • Seismic settings found in GameData/DMagicOrbitalScience/Resources/DMSeismicSettings.cfg
  • Fix scaling issues for all parts

  • New science results text for new parts
  • New science results text for OPM planets for all parts
