QOL suggestion #1473

Closed McLeggy closed 3 months ago

McLeggy commented 3 months ago

Add a "collect all" feature to the Apollo command modules (like on the Corona return capsule) so players won't have to constantly EVA to collect SIM bay payload science experiments. Some of the experiments only give science if recovered and it gets a little tedious having to EVA to grab the data all the time.

Could look into this, though the Optical Recording Unit bay part should have that functionality too, so could reduce it to one collection, as long as the bay configuration includes it... Having the pod have the same functionality would also kind of make the Optical Recording Unit as its currently set up kind of pointless.

The optical recording unit is only used on 17 and even then doesn't transfer to the command module so all the science that does get stored is lost on seperation~Kenny PaduchPronouns: They/Them/TheirsOn Jul 4, 2024, at 12:52 AM, Rodg88 @.***> wrote: Could look into this, though the Optical Recording Unit bay part should have that functionality too, so could reduce it to one collection, as long as the bay configuration includes it...

Now that I think about it, part of the point is probably to retrieve them via EVA like in real life

You can use a generic patch like this if wanted https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/139980-130-community-database-of-module-manager-patches-for-stock-ksp/?do=findComment&comment=3190015
