Parts (WOLF)

This page is under construction. Some part descriptions need to be expanded.

WOLF parts are designed to provide the "plumbing" required to support your colonization efforts without having multiple large bases with huge part counts. The parts ae divided into several type:

• Preparation parts The Surface Scanning Module and WOFL Transport Computer allow you to prepare and connect your depots.
• Depot The depot is the first part of a WOLF depot that is placed once in a biome after a WOLF survey has been done.
• Containers Crew or cargo containers are used to build routes between depots in different biomes. They come in four different sizes from 1.25m to 5.0m.
• Hoppers Attach hoppers to your bases to bases to convert extracted WOLF resources into normal resources. Hoppers come in 2.5m or 3.75m sizes.
• Modules Modules perform functions at your depot to process WOLF resources
• Terminals Terminals allow the transport of Kerbals from any biome to another, if a transport route has been established.
• Harvesters Harvesters allow depots to extract resources from a biome and convert them into WOLF resources.

Note that depots, containers, modules, and harvesters will disappear when used. This is intentional and is one of the selling points for WOLF, in that it allows you to define the functioning of the base without having to have a large part count.

Preparation Parts

The Surface Scanning Module allows you to survey a WOLF Biome before building a depot. This allows the depot to know what resources are available for use. Always scan a biome before building a depot.

The WOLF Transport Computer is placed on vehicles before travelling from one biome to another in order to build routes between depots. Two different routes can be built, one for crew and one for cargo. See the WOLF sections for more information.

Depot

The depot is the first part of any WOLF installation. It is required for every WOLF installation.

Containers

Containers are used when you want to define routes between depots. Attach the appropriate type of container, crew or cargo, in the appropriate size to your vehicle, then use the WOLF Transport Computer to start and end the route.

The different sizes of the crew containers allow transport of kerbals in either Economy or Luxury class, as shown below.

Size	Mass (tons)	Economy	Luxury
1.25m	3.0	2	1
2.5m	4.5	6	3
3.75m	21.0	14	7
5.0m	45.0	30	15

The cargo containers also come in different sizes and allow transport of different WOLF units

Size	Mass (tons)	Payload
1.25m	1	1
2.5m	3	3
3.75m	7	7
5.0m	15	15

Hoppers

Hoppers come in two sizes, 2.5m and 3.75m, and convert WOLF resources into standard resources at a fixed rate. There are four different functions:

• Fuel
• Harvesting
• Life Support
• Manufacturing

Modules

Modules come in only the 1.25m form factor. They convert standard resources from a biome into WOLF resources. There are several different functions:

• Agriculture
• Bioreactor
• Extractor
• Fabricator
• Habitation
• Life Support
• Maintenance
• Power
• Refinery
• Science
• Transport
• Waste Recycler

When adding modules to a depot, use the Planner tab on the WOLF Dashboard to know what additional modules are required.

Terminals

Terminals are used to transport kerbals from one depot to another, once a crew route has ben established. They come in two sizes, 3.75m and 10m.

Size	Mass (tons)	Crew Capacity
3.75m	11.436	6
10.00m	23.095	12

Harvesters

Each harvester can be configured to extract one resource. The smaller harvester does not require power but produces less product.

• WOLF MHU-500 Bulk Harvester
