Ngl I only did this because I got distracted by a perfect Mun encounter while testing ksp with vulcan.
I'll admit not the hardest to understand, but still mildly entertaining.

Ignore the part where my reactor overheats because I forgot to make two separate heat loops.

This took an absurd amount of time to make.
I'm getting about 1 frame per sometimes.
I've been working on a mod that allows me to fire BDA guns using action groups, using gemini to help me write some of the code. So far I've been jumping through all these hoops to avoid private variables, only for it to just now tell me I can just override private variables and my code will compile just fine.
Edit: Nevermind, it didn't work 😭
I have some BDAe small continuous lasers set up, and I want to create an effect like they're merging into one beam. (If you couldn't tell I'm building a death star) I figured I could do this by having a small structural part that just blocks them at a certain point, but it seems that if there is anything blocking their path, they just wont fire. Is there an easy way to get around this? The only results I could get from google only works for bombs and missiles.
Edit: I figured out a way to get the same effect by just modifying the cfg file for the laser and setting maxTargetingRange to a low value.
That is, when you shove a 1000x size gyroscope inside them.
I have been trying to figure out how to disable drag for the 1x1 structural panels for literal hours. So far i've tried:
Setting the dragModelType in the cfg file to none
Setting maximum, minimum, and angular drag to 0
Turning off drag cubes in the cfg file
Setting physicsSignificance to 1 in the cfg file
Using a module manager patch to do all of the above
Creating a module manager patch to remove the drag_cube module entirely
Forcing the patch to apply after ReStock
Forcing the patch to apply last using the :FINAL keyword
Directly editing the ReStock and ReStock+ config files for the part
Removing drag_cube from all varients of the part created by b9 part switch in the module manager patch
Checking the logs to ensure the patch applies successfully and that it is running last
Adjusting the TURD debugging checks to run before the patch so that it actually runs last
Lobotomizing kspCommunityFixes so that missing dragCubes are not re-generated
Watching the part database as the game starts to ensure the drag cube is not being re-generated (it is always re-generated despite my attempts to force it to not exist)
Modifying the part database directly so that the drag cube is set to none (it just undid my edits immediately)
Physically abusing my pc to assert dominance
Why can't Jeb just be happy in his pirate ship?
Here is the patch I have so far, as well as my mod list:
@PART [structuralPanel1]:FINAL
{
@PhysicsSignificance = 1
@dragModelType = none
@maximum_drag = 0
@minimum_drag = 0
@angularDrag = 0
!DRAG_CUBE,* {}
[ModuleB9PartSwitch]:HAS[#moduleID[*]]
{
@SUBTYPE[*]
{
!DRAG_CUBE,* {}
}
}
}

Runs on deuterium collected from Jool's atmosphere, as well as hydrogen and oxidizer to power the RCS thrusters. Unfortunately, there's no liquid fuel on Jool, so Jeddorf, Desly, Tanlan, and Samburry Kerman will not be returning. Lets all thank them for their noble sacrifice that they totally knew about before they were sent to Jool.
