At long last Project Sandcastle is here! Part 1 contains a new line of 12.5-meter diameter parts and associated accessories designed for more permanent bases. The first part, the Castillo, is one you're already familiar with. It has undergone many revisions to find the right look and feel. This release builds upon the Castillo by delivering a factory, storage depot, and observatory- with working telescope if you install Tarsier or CactEye! In addition, there are new support buildings including the Ground Station and A.R.C. Fusion Reactor, as well as a new walkway. All of these parts start out as standard shipping crates that are then assembled with resources- be sure to turn on resource distribution.

New Boxed Parts - These parts all start out as Buckboard-sized packing boxes and require resources to assemble.

  • Castillo Depot (Composites): This is a 12.5m diameter warehouse with a 200,000-liter omni storage capacity. You can show or hide the roof to stack additional depots, and you can mesh switch between crew hatches (the default) and solid walls.
  • Castillo Observatory (Composites): This 12.5m diameter part takes over the Castillo's science data generation for labs, Pipelines, and prospecting, and GoldStrike prospecting bonus. It also has a working telescope- provided that you have the Tarsier (preferred) or CactEye telescope mod installed.
  • Castillo Factory (Composites): This large factory has very efficient omni converters. It takes over the efficiency improvements produced by the Castillo, and it has built-in support for OSE Workshop and EL Workshop. There's even a Christmas bonus for CRP users. NOTE: You're on your own for future CRP support, I've switched over to Classic Stock and do use CRP anymore. CRP has been legacy for some time now...
  • Castillo Adapter (Composites): This boxed part is an adapter between 12.5m parts and 3.75m parts.
  • Ground Station (Composites): This boxed part is designed to form part of a Deep Space Network on a local planet when you're far away from the KSC. It also generates trajectory data for the Pipeline mass driver. The Ground Station can track objects targeted by the vessel or a random target.
  • A.R.C. Fusion Reactor (Specialized Electrics): Unlike the portable prototype fusion reactor found in the Hacienda's Solar Flare, this permanent installation generates a lot more ElectricCharge. Bonus: You can turn off the particle effects via the Part Action Window to improve rendering performance.
  • Walkway (Advanced Exploration): This boxed part assembles into a walkway that adds space between base parts. It also has a roof rack for attaching accessories.

Revised Parts

  • Remodeled the Pipeline Mass Driver to make it much easier to attach to your base.
  • Remodeled the Castillo to use the new look for konkrete parts.
  • The Rangeland now has underground storage for RocketParts and can recycle vessels on the pad.

Bug Fixes & Enhancements

  • The Pipeline's launch azimuth is now restricted to a few degrees to the left or right of where the barrel points. You can turn this restriction off in KSC's Settings menu (accessed when you press the ESC key).
