KSP2 Redux 0.2.9.0.104492

Snapshot 26w36a

This snapshot adds a new mission, docked rotation, a rebuilt Tracking Station information panel with resource overlays, updated launch countdown, a new modding workflow for prefab patching, and as always, many flight, VAB, performance and stability fixes.

New Content

Missions

• Added: The Drespiracy, a new mission to investigate Dres, Drast and Beyl
• Updated: I, P.A.I.G.E. 2.0 with its takeover sequence and revised objective flow

Flight and launch

• Added: Docking port rotation controls
• Updated: Prelaunch countdown water deluge and spark effects

Tracking Station

• Updated: The vessel and celestial body information panel reworked in UITK
• Added: Visible mission objectives and mission groups to the Tracking Station information panel
• Added: Scan-gated resource lists and resource density overlays for celestial bodies in the Tracking Station

Performance Improvements

• Improved: Science report scoring, transmission and research-inventory updates avoid repeated report searches, validation and per-frame allocations
• Improved: Large-vessel Delta-V updates reuse part lookups and indexed part data instead of repeatedly rebuilding and scanning collections
• Improved: Resource density maps are loaded once and reused by scanning and Tracking Station displays
• Improved: Part mass modifiers for launch clamps, procedural parts and part switches now use ECS data instead of a legacy per-part scan
• Improved: Thermal auto-shutdown for generators, resource converters and mines now runs through ordered ECS state updates
• Improved: Tracking Station telemetry no longer computes the same flight readings twice per frame
• Improved: Unused resource-flow difficulty checks and redundant per-tick part physics-stat recalculation were removed
• Improved: Supersampling releases presentation command buffers and render targets when they are rebuilt, disabled or destroyed

Bug Fixes & QoL Improvements

Flight, physics and map

• Fixed: Vessel collisions incorrectly marking airborne vessels as landed

• Fixed: Kerbals on ladders applying unwanted forces to vessels
• Fixed: Kerbals on ladders becoming impossible to select
• Fixed: Held EVA jump input being lost during vessel updates
• Fixed: Analytical wheel contacts producing false suspension travel
• Fixed: Landing-gear bogies returning to the wrong neutral pose after deployment
• Fixed: Celestial-body registry cleanup behaving differently in release players
• Fixed: Environment effects and keyboard lighting attempting to evaluate invalid vessel spheres of influence
• Fixed: The navball remaining in Orbit speed mode near elevated terrain instead of switching to Surface mode

Construction, parts and resources

• Improved: Recalculated drag cubes for the LV-T45 "Swivel", LV-T30 "Reliant", LV-1 "Ant", LV-1R "Spider", 48-7S "Spark", IX-6315 "Dawn", Mk5H Nose Cone, "Oscar-B", R-12 "Doughnut", FL-T100, FL-T200, FL-T400, FL-T800, HFT-T-125, FL-R25, PB-X150, PB-X750, PB-X3000, JF-200, JF-50, FL-R10, AE-FF000 “Littleneck”, NCS 200, FL-A10, FL-A5, RA-2, RA-15, OKTO, OKTO2, QBE, "Stayputnik", CH-J3, TRW-0625, Z-100 and Z-200
• Fixed: OAB vessel loading reconstructing invalid parent-child attachment hierarchies
• Fixed: Transparent procedural fairings not applying their selected colors correctly
• Fixed: Engine shrouds initializing or positioning incorrectly
• Fixed: The SM+ slanted nose cone using invalid reentry meshes
• Fixed: Stack symmetry on SM+ bi-, tri- and quad-adapters
• Fixed: Missing metallic strength on the SM+ docking port, square truss resizer and surface resource scanner
• Fixed: Drills stopping after time warp because brief ground-contact changes were treated as a landing-state loss
• Fixed: The large radial drill's center of mass being offset from its visible geometry
• Fixed: Launch clamps losing their scaled mass modifier while merging saved-state definitions
• Fixed: Overheated generators continuing to produce resources, rapidly cycling at the shutdown threshold or remaining latched after auto-shutdown was disabled
• Fixed: Generators with no heat output overwriting a part's heat-flux state
• Fixed: Docking ports displaying incorrect module headings in the Parts Manager

• Fixed: VAB part information rapidly expanding and collapsing during pointer movement

Missions, science and game flow

• Fixed: Tutorials 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.5 failing after they were reloaded
