Hmmm never noticed that category, should be some particular MOD you're using. Do you have any mods that produce food.
So far I've played a lot with MKS (stopped updating some months ago) and now on a career in RO with a bunch of mods "bundled", both with tac, so I'd rule them out.
Wanna list your mods to pinpoint the culprit?
Ah, definitely a mod then. I suspect the planetary base one. Here's a list from the AVC:

Chatterer - 0.9.7.86
Contract Configurator - 1.9.10
Contract Pack: RemoteTech - 2.0.1
Firespitter - 7.1.5
RasterPropMonitor - 0.24.2

Kerbal Alarm Clock - 3.5
Alternate Resource Panel - 2.7.4
[x] Science! - 4.14
By the way, since it's possible to have this category, what do you think of putting your mod's parts in it? Wouldn't be tidier?
They're not mine, but I'd obviously benefit from it. But you'd need to make sure that you either turn this config on if the other plugin is present, or submit a PR that includes such category AND won't conflict with your other mod.
@Superbest yeah, I have a feeling it's from PlanetaryBases too; I have that mod and found it strange that TACLS isn't in Life Support :p
This mod does not add a category -- that is a newish feature in KSP -- so another mod has to be adding it, as you seem to have figured out. Feel free to make an MM patch that will put the parts under that category.
I have not had time to research how the categories work, and I'm not sure how they might have changed in 1.1. They added search capability and part "tags" so you can search not just by name, but by the type of part!
Where can I copy that idea? i would like to resolve this issue and don't mind creating the patch, just need to know where to look for inspiration
It's already been done... you are in the wrong repro. The latest version has this and has two flavors of it. I have taken over development of the mod as taraniselsu has moved on in the world. Here is the latest forum thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/146465-122-tac-life-support-v0128-release-5th-jan-2017/ Here is the latest github repro: https://github.com/KSP-RO/TacLifeSupport/releases
No I'm running 0.12.8 and see the LS parts in the tab, but also under utility
You're still in the wrong repro. https://github.com/KSP-RO/TacLifeSupport/issues/73
I am on KSP 1.0.5 and TACLS 0.11.2 which was installed through CKAN (v1.16.1-0-g2e91715).
It seems that I have a "Life Support" category in VAB (great idea by the way), but it is empty. The LS parts instead clutter up "Utility" and make the actual utilities hard to find. I checked the files inside
ThunderAerospace
and indeed they hadCategory
set toUtility
.What's up with this? I kind of binge-installed a pile of mods, so it's possible that it's related to that... How should I go about diagnosing the problem?
