KSP2 Redux 0.2.9.0.104290

Snapshot 26w35a

This snapshot adds 4 new parts, updates the tech tree, and a ton of bug fixes for features from previous snapshots.

New Content

Parts

• Added: An XS launch escape system, three SM+ cargo bays
• Updated: The SM+ crew pod with a new model, textures, colliders and lights
• Updated: SM+ hydrogen tanks, the Kodiak engine, circular trusses, engine mount, battery and stabilizer
• Updated: Tech tree placement for missing parts

Celestial bodies

• Updated: Beyl's biome map, terrain normals, surface bake, scaled-space textures and surface transition

Settings

• Added: An Analytical Joints setting, available from the main menu, for switching between the analytical structural solver and legacy per-part PhysX joints

Performance Improvements

• Improved: Coasting vessels no longer remain on the one-second Delta-V recalculation cadence after an engine has fired
• Improved: Full Delta-V updates are staggered between vessels instead of running together on the same frame
• Improved: Each part reads its vessel telemetry once per update instead of repeating the same lookups
• Improved: Analytical linear and angular damping are gathered in one pass over the vessel's parts
• Improved: Vessel electric-charge totals are read directly from the container group
• Improved: Resource-container getters resolve their slot buffer once per read
• Improved: Read-only resource lookups no longer mark the container as changed

• Fixed: Kerbin's atmosphere disappearing in the Tracking Station
• Fixed: Laythe's atmosphere drifting away from its scaled-space mesh
• Fixed: Reentry plasma appearing through parts that should occlude it
• Fixed: Heat indicators being shown for inactive vessels

Missions, science and recovery

• Fixed: Completed missions being activated a second time
• Fixed: Player-owned missions losing their completed state after loading a save
• Fixed: The Minmus impactor mission not completing after an analytical impact
• Fixed: Science progress being shared incorrectly between different biomes
• Fixed: Surface science being unavailable during orbital EVA
• Fixed: Stage Recovery losing personal waypoints when replaying a recovered stage
• Fixed: Stage Recovery leaving stale entries in the staging UI after recovering a vessel
• Fixed: Stage Recovery windows remaining open after changing game state
• Fixed: Tutorial 4.x Next buttons not opening the next tutorial
• Fixed: Tutorial failure screens not restarting or continuing correctly
• Fixed: Tutorial 4.5 having no mission-complete sound
• Fixed: Missing localization for mystery technology entries

Construction, parts and resources

• Improved: Escape now closes the topmost panel on the main menu
• Improved: Leaving the VAB now shows a confirmation when unsaved work could be lost
• Fixed: Launching a workspace with missing collider references failing to enter flight
• Fixed: Launching a workspace without a serialized vessel body failing to enter flight
• Fixed: VAB-to-flight transitions stalling when the camera target is unavailable
• Fixed: Typing in waypoint coordinate fields also triggering game controls
• Fixed: Waypoint coordinate tooltips covering the fields they describe
• Fixed: Convert-O-Tron resource requests failing to reach the resource-flow solver
• Fixed: ISRU modules reporting missing resources when they were actually starved of electric power
• Fixed: Overheated mines reapplying heat on the same tick that they shut down
• Fixed: Overheated mines being reported as inactive instead of overheated
• Fixed: The Resource Gathering window ignoring the F2 interface-visibility toggle
• Fixed: The Resource Gathering window not refreshing after switching between vessels in different spheres of influence
• Fixed: Resource Gathering labels and localization not updating correctly
• Fixed: Radiator actions affecting the wrong parts in a symmetry set
• Fixed: Cooler action-group labels using the wrong orientation
• Fixed: Deployable parts using the wrong maximum temperature, which could break cooler auto-shutdown
• Fixed: Landing-barge legs not working correctly on the barge deck
• Fixed: Landing-barge propulsion, buoyancy, inertia and SAS behavior
• Fixed: Missing and incorrect landing-barge reentry meshes
• Fixed: Incorrect attachment nodes on SM+ hydrogen tanks and cargo bays
