I am thinking along the lines of making a resource factory for fuel, and putting it on a moon/planet. It would look similar to a oil derrick - something that obviously isn't inflatable, or able to be put in a 1.3 m cubic box. Any ideas on how to do that with the current model?
Well, I bet you'd have to cheat a bit, ie: not a giant derrick, put an heavy weight (5 ton?) OR if you confident with DLL write one that can "assemble" parts of your derrick.
I bet one "small" derrick would do the job without being completely unrealistic.
I may add such feature in UCGO 3.0 (due end 2010 or 2011
) ie: multipart cargo. If there is a missing part at unpacking UMmu will answer "missing part" else it would assemble all your parts in one object at the place of the closer cargo. (say 50 meter radius for all parts ?)

and have not found any bugs that have not been mentioned on your site.
I marked almost all as solved. It's too late for minor adjustment. Now let me know if you have any serious bug (CTD) for example I wasn't able to reproduce the "PROBE CTD" (multi probe that unpack = CTD)

:speakcool:
So you think swapping 4&6 keys for left/right arrows would be better? It may be for non-joystick users. Honestly, if your into gaming, get a joystick, it is much better than using the keyboard. You have a much finer control over the steering and acceleration then. To Dan, maybe a config file would be good for those that want to switch these keys.
I answered this issue about the same way you have done: joystick.
About config file: I'm sure every user have 2-3 ideas to tune UCGO, that make hundred adjustment for me :lol:
But the main reason is that managing key is a bit of hell, doc would not be right anymore, peoples would mess key and ask support and most ppls would not use it anyway. A bit dangerous and a bit a wast of time.

The inside of the inflatable UMMU bases would benefit from better lighting. Right now it's far too easy to walk outside accidentally and die.
This should be fairly easy, by increasing the emissivity of the interior texture.
Gosh ! that's one of the thing I planned a since long time and finally forgot to do.
Howewer this is maybe not so negative: Things that are poorly done always push users to make more addons :lol: (If I release "ailantd" style base only a few genius would not feel ashamed to make some new one)
Virtual Sailor poor boat gave me the envy to make addons, Orbiter lack of sound=orbitersound, deltaglider=DGII and later, lake of life=UCGO etc. etc.
So I'll leave as it is now: a demo of one feature. The core of UCGO is good, now it's everyone job to populate the list of cargoes with stunning things.

( other than a small CTD problem, caused by my own code anyway ) It also seems really easy to use which is always a good thing
