- Full integration with stock drills and scanners
- Stock Drills and Surface Scanner available slightly earlier in the tech tree
- Only 8 parts (just over 3Mb download)
- Low memory usage.
Unobtainium (UBT)
is an extremely valuable resource that generally spawns on high-G and extremely distant worlds.- You can mine
Unobtainium
using the stock drills without needing a converter in-situ.- Drills mining
Unobtainium
operate much more efficiently with both a scientist and engineer aboard.Unobtainium
is denser thanGold
, so ensure to bring adequate dΔ!- Finally a monetary reason to land on Eeloo, Eve, Moho/Icarus, or any of the other seldom visited worlds!
@Dewar
- This mod is not meant to be an easy cash cow; rather, a difficult alternative to contract spam.
- There is no
Gold
on Kerbin, and be careful when choosing a mining site as only deposits of >2% (mini drill) or >1.5% (large drill) will yieldGold Ore
.Gold Ore
can be returned for an okay-ish profit, but be aware thatGold Ore
is basically 9/10sOre
. So there are obvious benefits to smelting in-situ. The Smelter needs power, cooling, and an engineer to function at its full capacity.- Pure
Gold
is, by design and IRL, dense - a.k.a. HEAVY!- Feel free to post any working ship/base designs!
- Note on returning with your space booty: Land near or on the space center to avoid diminished returns.
- WIP - work in progress
- I have not personally tested the patches
- Have a request? Glad to have them, kindly submit through GitHub.
- Am open to adding one more resource beyond Kerbin's influence, great project for someone!
- Community Tech Tree integration and Tech Tree Balancing (need feedback)
- Would love someone to convert from FireSpitter to Stock and/or KSPWheel
- Variant Textures always welcome!
- Model updates to Unity 2019
- Parachute textures that use TheGoldStandard logo
- Have a request? Glad to have them, kindly submit through GitHub.
