As someone who's done a little unity game dev, all those resource delivery questions are pretty easy to answer, generally! -The simplest way is to simply say "every time the same transfer window occurs, delete the resources needed to make the ship, and after the mission length occurs, give the returned resources." -Every mission has a timer. You can add to the previous by using that timer to make a "recording" of a mission, (if you check a mission time, you return the physical location of the ship, allowing you to "turn an ongoing scheduled mission into a new one" at will) -Let's say your collection missions make 1 piece of space trash in orbit around the collection planet. It wouldn't be hard or very controversial to simply say "put another piece of trash in the same orbit, starting where the first was, when it was created". as the transfer window is the same, and the mission is the same, it should be a correct solution the combining question is a tough one, but I anticipate if all missions are recorded, it would be trivial to trace them from end to beginning, in reverse, to see what resources it took from where. -Luckily, "what vehicles belong together" is a nonissue. that's a human/kerbal concept. if they are attached, they are a vehicle, and the vehicle is part of the mission. its resources are spent on launch, and returned based on what parts come back from the mission. -a shipment from one colony to another? that'll be pretty easy. you simply subtract the resources for the mission from one colony, and give the resources in the parts that land at the second colony. -Most of these can be solved by thinking of colonies and shipments as a "city builder simulation" and not "individual spaceflight simulator". it's just moving variables around on a schedule, with a few conditionals. The hard part is "recording" the missions, which provides many issues to solve.

The delta-V cost to match with a ship en route and then get back to wherever you want to be, not where it wants to be, outweighs any potential gains from a heist. So all heists would have to be done on-planet or in orbit, because transit’s immune to them. Thereafter, because there is no stealth in space, the only way you’re getting away with it is through the ambivalence of the party from whom you’ve stolen. This means that if you CAN get away with it, it wasn’t worth doing, either. It’s a romantic, not a realistic, idea.

for the resource delivery route thing, I feel like the answer would be: the game logs everything you do on a flight, if when you end this mission, there was no cargo transfer, then it "deletes the log", however, if there was cargo transfer, it starts by asking if you want to make a route, if you say no, it deletes the log. But if you say Yes, it saves and essentially replays that log in the background on repeat.

But of course, Minmus has to be aligned correctly so your Kerbin gravity slingshot takes you into the direction you want to go.

My first question with the supply routes is: distances between bodies change. Will that be reflected in how long the routes take? I don’t know the numbers in KSP by head, but IRL the time it takes to go from Earth to Mars can vary by months depending on the positioning of both planets. It seems like a bit of a cheat to establish your route at the closest point of a highly elliptical orbit, and then have that short trip time forever even though 95% of the time it would take much longer. I really hope they have a very clever systems for this and the other questions you mentioned.

KSP2, Ark Ascended, Enshrouded, Stationeers, Satisfactory. So long as they keep providing regular updates and they are not a buggy mess, I'm happy. The worst of them right now is Ark Ascended (delayed updates, lack of communication, getting to the point the community is really not happy, and partially in open revolt).

The two big things I wanted from KSP2 were colonies and multiplayer (even though most of my "multiplayer" is going to be me playing multiple missions in the same system with kOS doing the tricky stuff like landing :D Also KSP had colonies, just check out Umbra Space Industries MKS and WOLF by Roverdude. Excellent work even if it did have a few bugs (but it wouldn't be KSP without bugs, right? No Nate that doesn't mean we want lots of endearing bugs in KSP2) The way WOLF managed resource routes was: you press a button on your rocket to start a mission. Then at the end of the route you press the button again. The difference in mass is now the "cost" of the mission and you pay that cost through "transport credits" which are things you manufacture at the origin end of the route. If you don't have enough transport credits to fuel the route, you can't establish that route. There are ways around this of course, with a typical one being spaceplane from KSC to Kerbal orbit, refuel, then fly that spaceplane to wherever you want the route to go, refuel, then end the mission. A similar type of thing for transferring passengers, though passenger routes had time delay based on the orbits of the start and end bodies.

For the delivery routes with multi stage ships, they can simply calculate the parts that you lost during your flight, and their value, and remove this from your balance at each end of the timer. This will be easy to implement, realistic, and an added difficulty in career mode. They will need to improve reusability possibility however, either by a new control part that allows a stage to be considered reusable if in certain conditions (distance of the landing point to the KSC, manoeuvrability, fuel left, etc). With this, your saved vessel will be the full stack, and they will monitor the recovery of each component to consider the cost of each flight

I was thinking for a long time about resource missions, even as theory crafting for first game with RO for example. Such missions can't be done as normal allowing you to save it after the fact. They have to be explicitly recorded to get the most realism/immersion in usage of resources. 1) When preparing such transport mission you give the whole mission a unique name so game knows which vehicles to record. 2) there is new optino to mark new crafts as part of this mission, and you can't interact with existing crafts without marking them as part of this mission. 3) All new parts and resources you take or deposit while in base are recorded. 4) Bases and static space stations are exempt, as they should be fixed. It should reserving couple days at docking ports or landing pads per cycle, and space behind them to fit the vehicle. 4) SSTOs and transfer stages need to be at similar orbit or landed position, and with at least same amount of resources, to prove you can return everything to start. Replacements with same part type and count is suitable, but will be counted as new vehicle. There should be option to reserve the fuel on return mission if you started partially full. 5) In practice spent stages only work with new crafts. So multistage ascent rockets for resources, and drop tanks on transfer stages have to be new vehicles that reserve the production capability of bases of origin. 6) transfer windows HAVE to be respected. Example mission plan. 1) You launch the new multistage rocket with resources you want to deliver 2) You dock to the space tug, give it a fuel and fly to the target base 3) At destination a dedicated SSTO takes off with another load of fuel, refuels the tug and takes the resources back down to deposit them. 4) The tug then returns either with different resource or empty to the orbit of origin Mission summary: Base A: - withdrawn fuel, metal for rocket, transported resource - reserved production time and launch pad Base B: - withdrawn fuel - deposited transported resource - reserved a pad for SSTO Tug and SSTO are now removed to be part of the mission, and returned to player control if mission is canceled. EDIT: to facilitate space pirates an on rails marker could appear and more save states for vehicles would need to be saved, essentially after every major burn. so it's not directly simulated, but if you want to visit it will appear. And then if vehicle would be changed in any way a warning should appear indicating that not all resources will be delivered. And if deltaV drops because fuel was also stolen, or parts were damaged, an error appears, pausing the mission cycle. That vehicle if it had enough fuel to orbit is stuck there waiting to be manually restocked to needed levels for next stage of the mission.

I think the delivery loops problem would be simplified a lot if each major step along a loop needs to have a station in place to receive materials. In the uranium mining example, to establish the loop you'd need a uranium mining base, a station in orbit of that planet or moon, a station in your colony target's orbit, and finally your colony base on that target planet/moon. The station in orbit of the mining outpost builds up a stockpile of uranium. The loop carrying uranium from that station to your colony target's orbit moves that uranium to orbit of your colony world. Lastly the uranium is loop-transferred to your surface colony. I feel like this way means there will never be a situation in which the game needs to "understand" a high complex mission profile with many modules and stages. In fact, for game balancing reasons I think it makes sense that transport loops should require you have good enough tech to do single-stage transfers between any given node in a network. There will be extremely capable propulsion systems in Ksp2, so it's not like this will be particularly hard to achieve.

For supply routes, I would have the player click a specific for both the start and end of the route and when they actually deliver the resources they mean to deliver. At the start the game would save a copy of the ship, including a list of parts and resources. Then the player actual flies the route they want in normal gameplay. At the end the game compares the copy to the current state of the ship. Resources lost are subtracted from the origin. If parts are lost then the route only works if the origin can produce those parts, if they can then the material cost of the parts is subtracted too.

If I were in charge of designing the Delivery Routes system, I'd have it so surface colonies and space stations can have Depots for storing resources. You then fly/drive from one depot to another, which links the two together. It would function pretty similarly to KSP1's Contracts, where you fulfil certain criteria in order to complete the contract. Those criteria would just be "landed at X Base" and "docked at Y Station" That means you could fly a Lander from a Colony's launch pad up to an orbiting facility, forming the first link. Then you fly a freighter from one orbital Depot to another, whether it be around a different moon or different planet, forming the second link. Finally, send a lander down from that station to the colony, forming the third link. Or you could build a massively overengineered vessel that can fly all the way from one colony to another, and do it all in a single link. Or, if the colonies are on the same planet, drive a cargo rover from one to the other. Might take a while. This setup incentivises players to build orbital facilities, but doesn't require them to. You an carry out the task of resource transfer however you like. With the links set up, you can now transfer resources between linked depots. If I wanted to make it a little more in-depth, each link would only be for whatever resources the original mission carried. To increase the number of resources that can be transferred, send more missions.

As noted in the "better development" section, the way to do complex things is not to get bogged down in them but to concentrate on the parts that add up to them. Then surely the same applies to the Supply Routes. Start simple, and add to that in simple steps until players are doing crazy complex things. Like me all want too. So, the simplest Supply Routes are those aligned to colonies. A Kerbal wakes up and does their shift; things get moved day in and day out. Leaving all the issues that open up with transfer windows till in the future.

Here is how I see things regarding your dellivery routes question. There must be two routes. One from surface to an orbital station, one from the orbital station to the delivery destination. THe advantage is that you don't need to scrap both routes at once when you progress with technologies. The body-body transfer vehicle can wait to be filled (I guess the route memorizes the quantity that you travel with in the first place) so you can just upgrade the lander/miner vehicle to be bigger so the transfer vehicle gets filled up faster, you just have to fly the transfer route one more time to update the new and faster filling time between transfers, unless we speak of interplanetary transfers which might necessitate to take into account transfer windows at first, before getting the spicy nuclear fusion engines and brachistochrone trajectories, in that case, the time between two interplanetary deliveries will remain the same until you get better tech. That just means that you might not have to upgrade the landers themselves until you really need to when you obtain the better engines, which might be quite fast or take a while. Does the difficulty system work like KSP 1 though? -with scalable grind, more difficulty means less science points earned). In that case, I'd argue that you could tune the difficulty to your needs. In easier modes, it's easier to just build the best ships possible, gain the more science points possible fast to obtain the technology you need to not have to update your transfer routes once they are established. Duna is already a reference to Dune...

I think orbital colonies will be like big transfer hubs for automated routes. Transferring stuff delivered from ground colonies to bigger interplanetary ships for distant colonies. I think that if you do more stages for the transport route that every time the route is repeated, the recources from building the expanded stages is removed from the colony

@toyboatdance9 ай бұрын
I wonder if eventually they’d have the delivery times change depending on orbital positions. Or if it would be limited to launch windows etc…
@andreimihai90229 ай бұрын
On the subject of delivery routs, i think it would be cool to bave resupply missions, not as a timer, but as an actual rocket that is launched automatically. It would be so cool to open the game and in the menu see in the background that a rocket is transported to the launch pad ready to go.

First colony probably on the Mun or Minmus depending on resources available. I get tired of launching big ships out of atmosphere really fast so having a low gee extra-Kerbin launchpad as early as possible would be lovely.

I'm excited for colonies keeping us on planets longer. I feel like a lot of KSP right now is spending hours planning a mission and getting there, but I spend 5 minutes on the surface and leave. I'm excited for the aspect of spending large amounts of time on a planet and having a reason to

I'll probably set up an orbital shipyard around the Mun or Kerbin - more launch window opportunities to leave Kerbin SOI compared to Minmus, where you'd have to wait for the escape trajectory flinging around Kerbin points you in the right direction. The first far colony is definitely going to be in the Jool system. Easy to reach, easy to leave, with Tylo getting you in and out of your colony every time basically for free, and most likely the most versatile resource pool. I just hope almost every planet has a specific resource, so we'll be challenged with setting up resource gathering for most of them. Would be boring if Jools 5 moons offered everything you need.

Radioactive stuff will almost certainly be near the star. So Eve, or Moho. Probably Eve; Moho has too weak gravity to pull in much solar ejecta.

I’m curious how building the colonies will be built. If there’s no resources is it just going to be fly somewhere with a ‘builder part’ then just use that to build everything you like or if there’s more limitations to this.
@frogbeerr9 ай бұрын
A nice possibility for telecopes would be having to track celestial objects and/or their orbits to see them in the tracking station. This would also mesh really well with kerb net. Imagine launching a mission to dres to place a telescope there to be close enough to track eloo. Sure you can maybe see the position of planets and the larger moons from kerbin directly, but how do you get there without being able to predict their trajectory. Or imagine a jool capture without knowing where all its moons are.

"How will the game even know what vehicles belong together?" This is very similar to the questions I wonder about when staging and docking. When staging, KSP1 is very good at automatically finding the best control point to use for the reduced vehicle. When docking, it's perhaps not quite such a genius, but it often gets it right with simpler vessels. How?
@Francois4249 ай бұрын
First colony will most likely be on the Mun or Minmus, let's be honest. I'll need to get my bearings on how this all works. But assuming I don't need the training wheels anymore? Probably on Pol or something. Super low gravity and lots of fun to be had in the Jool System. Another interesting location would be Moho, with all the transfer windows to everywhere all the time.

Instead of your first stage to escape and circularize being 60% of the ship, it could be just a small 10% of the ship, woohoo! But Orbital bases could be even better in that case.
