Orbital Habitats
« on: May 01, 2020, 04:18:31 AM »
I have played around with orbital Habitats.

Here is my Design:
Quote
Valhalla class Orbital Habitat      25,021,332 tons       1,510 Crew       10,847 BP       TCS 500,427    TH 0    EM 0
1 km/s      No Armour       Shields 0-0     HTK 1295      Sensors 0/0/0/0      DCR 1      PPV 0
MSP 0    Max Repair 200 MSP
Habitation Capacity 10,000,000   
Drengr    Control Rating 1   BRG   
Intended Deployment Time: 3 months   


This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes
This design is classed as a Space Station for construction purposes

I have towed 6 of them to Venus via Tugs and they are working fine, showing "Orbital Population Capacity: 60.00m"
Then I build 2 more. One is around Earth, again showing 10m population capacity around earth.
The other was towed to Wolf-Harrington (Comet) but there is no population capacity for orbital Habitats shown in the colony summary.

All of them have colonies created. Is it impossible to utilize OrbHabs on Comets or might this be a bug? I wanted to ask this question here first so I do not clutter the bug thread with my incompetence.

*Edit: If I move LG-Infra to the Comet and unload colonists there it shows up Still strange because it showed for Venus the capacity even without colonists   ??? *

IIRC that's a bug. Orbital habitats should function as normal with Low Gravity bodies. This would include showing up in the colony summary.

There was a bug with OrbHab population capacity not counting unless there was at least 1 pop on the ground at the colony, but that was fixed in a bug patch.  Are you using a version previous to 1.9?
