Supported Versions

  • 1.3
  • MAJOR CHANGE - Remove the integrated/optional docking ports from StationCore parts. They were generally buggy and prone to problems.
  • FIX - Remove extra 1.875m unlock upgrade for Procedural Probe Core part.
  • FIX - Some errors in MSRB and MFT modules that might cause them to display incorrect values for 'tank/body' type (variant selection display name mismatch).
  • FIX - Remove all the debug GUI spam from ModularHeatshield module.
  • FIX - Minor increase to stand-alone MHS ablation efficiency, compensate for removal of heat conduction.
  • FIX - ST-HUB-DOS Textures. Add texture-switch module + recoloring support. Currently only has 'Cloth' texture set, but more can be added in the future.
  • FIX - ST-HUB-COS Textures. Add texture-switch module + recoloring support.
  • FIX - SSTUTextureSwitch now searches for multiple 'root' model transforms when custom transform name is specified.
  • CHANGE - Remove the unused placeholder/experimental F1 engine upgrades.
  • CHANGE - ModularRCS - fire 'geometry changed' event when changing scale and/or structure -- fixes stock surface attach node handling issues.
  • CHANGE - MFT 'tank type' selections are now unlocked through tech-tree part-upgrade system. In order to use the zero boiloff/low-boiloff/lightweight/structural tank types you will need to have purchased the unlock in the tech-tree.
  • CHANGE - MFT 'tank type' selection now influences the part-cost. Lightweight and/or low/zero boiloff tanks will cost more. Structural tanks will cost less. Balance is WIP.
  • CHANGE - Add more tank types to MFT tanks -- lightweight-zbo, super-lightweight, lightweight structural. In career these are late-game unlocks. Balance/stats are WIP. New tank modifers added to:
    • MFT-A
    • MFT-D
    • MFT-L
    • MFT-R
    • MFT-S
    • MUS
  • CHANGE - Reduce dry mass for structural tank types. Balance is still WIP, will try to more closely mimic the stock structural part mass in the future.
  • CHANGE - Update position of tank-type part-upgrade unlocks in tech tree (previously were all under advrocketry). They should now be positioned more appropriately for the type of tank that they unlock. (tech-tree placement/balance WIP)
  • CHANGE - MFT module now supports per-tank-variant adapter selections. Entirely optional and should not impact existing parts/craft. Will be used on the upcoming LC fuel tank parts to enforce proper adapter selections for each body variant. May be applied to the MFT-S in the future to enforce proper main body/adapter selections.
  • CHANGE - SRB-U - Moved to Advanced Rocketry (subject to future change)
  • CHANGE - SRB-A / SRB-U - # of segments now limited by tech-tree in career mode. Find and purchase/research the 'segment increase' upgrades to get longer/more powerful SRBs. (tech-node placement/balance WIP)
  • UPDATE - More work on SSTU-OptionalPatches setup.
    • EPL - updated to add a proper needs setup (using AFTER block; could change to NEEDS?)
    • USI-LS - Part removal patch, remove life-support container parts (all of them). Keep greenhouses/etc (at least until those functions can be rolled into station-core parts).
    • NF-C - Combine the NearFuture Construction truss parts into a single master part with variant support (incl. adpt variant setups). Add new tank modifier types, add USI/MKS resources.
    • Stock - More part removals -- heat shields, fairings, rcs
