Sterling 0.3.8

Additions

• Added Stackable liquid film radiators.
• Added World Power parts:
  • Solar Thermal Panel
  • Solar Thermal Tower
  • Air-breathing radiator suite
• Added equivalent to Rational Resources Nuclear Family, removing external requirement.
• Created custom Waterfall template for BCAM engine.

Changes

• Adjusted volume calculation for inline heatsinks. The larger ones get a bit more loop volume.
• Buffed thrust on BCAM engine (Undid excessive nerf).
• Raised some engines' loop temperature since the liquid film radiators now exist and can cover their great needs.
• Changed Olympian and Icarus ICF engines to be single-mode.
• Reduced System Heat power of BCAM engine. Its scale factor was 10x what it should be.

Fixes

• Fixed Icarus engine's System Heat engine module and converter module using the same heat loop.
• Fixed possible missing/incomplete KerbalismSystemHeat patches.
• Fixed tank shroud issue and antimatter issues with Sterling Tankage.
• Fixed turbine generators missing System Heat modules (resulting in -1% efficiency).

Sterling 0.3.7.1

Changes

• Tankage: Moved gas tank types to general liquid tank.

Fixes

• Tankage: Added missing boiloff configs for Deuterium and Helium3.
• Tankage: Removed dependency on Rational Resources.

Sterling 0.3.7

Additions

• Added tank suite with these diameters: 2.5m, 3.75m, 5m.

Changes

• Reduced added masses in Super Heavy shield.

Fixes

• Fixed KerbalismSystemHeat problems.
• Ensured that all wrapper radiators' stock module stats still change when used with devices that still use/generate Core Heat when System Heat installed.

Sterling 0.3.6

Power for the Christmas lights in the whole village or on your smallest probes!

Changes

Additions

• Added World Power series parts: Giant vertical windmill and XXL solar panel.
• Added tiny solar panels.

Changes

• Set Sun shield's System Heat loop temperature to 650 K.

Fixes

• Fixed Thermal nozzle Waterfall plume problem. It needed an Ignition controller.
• Fixed Upgrades not showing in the CTT nodes.
• Updated Waterfall configs to respect engines being duplicated and altered by Rational Resources Nuclear Family.

Sterling 0.3.5

Changes

• Moved Batteries to their own folder and away from FuelCells.
• Set Sun shield's System Heat loop temperature to 700 K, respecting its high heat tolerance as an armor but staying near to low temp radiator territory.

Fixes

• Fixed/Revised Upgrade parts. They show up in the tech tree now.
• Updated the balancing of all electrics.
• Updated the balancing of all thermals to hopefully fit Nertea's balance scheme.
• Updated tech progression.

Sterling 0.3.0

Additions

• Added FusionPellets production to large ICF engine.
• Added Kerbalism configs. (Sun and Shadow shields can hold "Shielding" resource.)
• Added System Heat and Kerbalism System Heat configs for all radiators.
• Added System Heat configs for all current engines.
• Added Sun and Shadow shields.
  • With detailed, fully localized tooltips and upgrades.
  • Shadow shields contribute to System Heat loop volume.

Changes

• Changes to metal fuel cells:
  • Fully localized tooltips.
  • Added Recharger information to tooltips, including precise System Heat information.
  • Restored some ThermalPower output.
• Changes to wrapper PVs:
  • Fully localized tooltips.
  • Updated upgrades information.
• Added cost of EnrU to engines that hold it.
• Changed SULEU engines to surface attach from their top, not their side.
• Reduced amounts of EnrU held by GCNTRs.
• Updated balancing and tankage on fissile salt and fissile pebbles. Reactors should now hold 10 kerbal years worth of fuel by default and cost a lot more because the fuel is now more expensive.

Sterling 0.2.2

Additions

• Added SULEU (NERV alternative) engines.

Changes

• Updated fuel cell configs:
  • Added Beryllium option.
  • Updated stored amounts (B9 tank types) and ratios.
  • Changed ThermalPower output to zero. (This might be a dumb. If so I'll change it back from zero. TBD)
• Localization for fuel cell B9 configs (partial) and resources.
• Finished remaining mesh work on batteries/fuel cells for Simple Repaint.

Fixes

• Fixed mesh problem with 3.75m wrapper solar panels.
• Updated thermal efficiency curve of Delta Electro TBCs to hopefully fix zero efficiency bug when spawned with VesselMover.

Sterling 0.2.1

Changes

• ⚠️ Renamed wrapper solar panels and wrapper radiators. This will break craft files!

Fixes

• Waterfall detection. StockWaterfallEffects is the particular plume pack needed.
• Added missing localization, and B9 switching and System Heat config for wrapper solar panels.
• Added missing System Heat config for 1.875m wrapper radiators.

Sterling 0.3.1

Fixes

• Fixed the System Heat Fission Engines module problem: Ensured that affected engines always hold the requested nuclear resource.
• Updated localization (fixes an issue in the B9PS patch for the fuel cells).

Note

• No changes to Sterling Thermal. No need to re-download it.
