Description

Introducing another way of having your Extraplanetary Launchpads and for the Kraken to eat your cake too!

Similar to zer0kerbal's excellent Simple Construction, this mod gives you a low RAM stockish version of Extraplanetary Launchpads, without all the funky looking EL parts.

All parts are included in the SIMPLEX Assembly mod (required).

Stamp-O-Tron Ground anchor now acts as a stock Survey Peg. You can build your rockets/ bases anywhere!

Use the Lab to make your rocketparts, OR, use SIMPLEX Resources to have a two step process to produce your rockets/ craft/

Thanks to taniwha for maintaining the launchpad.dll and Extraplanetary Launchpads
Thanks to zero0Kerbal for some of the MM patch code.

Also needs the #10099 patch.

Hey @theJesuit - this mod may cause some issues in the KSP ecosystem as it stands:

• it contains Launchpad.dll inside AngleCanMods\SIMPLEXAssemblyPlus\Plugins
• It contains an ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads folder containing some textures

It's unclear from the install instructions whether ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads is a dependency. If it is, then those components of SIMPLEXAssemblyPlus should probably not be installed directly. If it's not, then you should probably move the textures inside your own mod's folder and rename the DLL to something else (ideally SIMPLEXAssemblyPlus because CKAN can only auto-detect installations if the DLL name matches the mod identifier).

Okay, I have discovered now that I have looked into this, that I don't need the extra Extraplanetary Launchpad folder in Gamedata. Version 1.6.20240725 now fixes this. Thank you for your help!

I don't think I can change the name of the .dll? a number of mods reference launchpad rather than the folder in their MM patching.

I've also updated the Spacedock instructions not to install vanilla Extraplanetary Launchpads and not compatible with SimpleConstruction, and Not So Simplex Construction

Is the DLL actually different from the stock EPL one?

Nope. Exactly the same.

[JonnyOThan]

So should this conflict with EPL?

Ah nvm I see the note on spacedock.

Are you sure you want all of these patches to potentially activate? And this is not necessarily an exhaustive list.

I think I see a lot of things that will go wrong because the MetalOre resource won't be defined, for example.

I see this as being the most useful comment. I should check here much more often. I'm thinking about it.
