Version 1.0.1 was released on May 1^st , 2015. The update is a small revision patch to address some of the most noticeable bugs encountered since the release of 1.0.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks

Thermal

• Temperature gauge system.
• Vessels which are splashed will now have much higher convective coefficients making them cool to ambient temperature faster.
• Removed node size from being taken into account for stack occlusion. Added custom drag cubes for remaining hollow parts.
• Parachute heating/burning.
• Fix for bug in FI dealing with unpacking vessels at analytic warp (>=1000) rates.
• Fixed conduction on service bays. Added Module Conduction Modifier to help service bays not incinerate their contents & configs updated
• Updated emissivity for spaceplane configs.
• Lowered heat production on LV-N "Nerv" Atomic Rocket Motor.

Resources

• Replaced overheat mechanic of the ISRU Converter and 'Drill-O-Matic' Mining Excavator with a skill-based mechanic.
• Removed Overheat Throttle mechanic.
• Increased mass of Ore tanks to match wet/dry ratio of stock tanks.

Aerodynamics

• New values for physics global drag and lift multipliers.
• Added a CoP offset calculation to procedural fairings
• Fix for the aero debug drag arrows switching directions. Added body lift arrows (cyan)
• Fixed occlusion on mk2 docking port.
• Fix for Laythe's atmosphere.

Solar panels

• Solar panels now use the proper inv square from FI's solar flux.
• Removed obsolete power curves from solar panels.
• Rebalanced solar panels against each other.

Career

• Doing science at the flagPOLe, the north POLe, or the south POLe, will no longer mark Pol as visited with the progress tracker.
• Science contracts and science World Firsts can no longer be triggered with science gained by reverse engineering recovered vessels. You have to transmit or recover an actual experiment.
• Ensured that if a grand tour contract includes Kerbin, that Kerbin is chosen as the final stop on the tour.
• Capped amount of recovery contracts that can generate, but increased caps on station and base to increase contract variety.
• Fixed "On Wheels" optional side objective not triggering on outposts when utilizing the new fixed landing gears.
• ISRU contracts round their capacities up, to handle cases where the player brings exactly enough resource capacity.
• Use the word "spaceflight" instead of "flight" when appropriate, to prevent player mistaking certain things for atmospheric flight.
• If the game cannot find an agent listed in the save file, it will pick a random agent.
• Remove some debug information from survey waypoint generation.

Parts

• Added Basic Fin.
• Added RescaleFactor to the RT-5 "Flea" Solid Fuel Booster (preventing a potential regression bug).
• Removed the allowstack option from the NBS and orbital scanners to fix a bug if they were used as the root part.
• Fixed an issue where the physicsSignificance flag was set to 1 for heat shields.
• Added an option to clamp the lower bound of the deploy pressure of parachutes.
• Adjusted parachutes to open at a slightly higher atmospheric pressure.
• Fixed fairings not initializing their masses in flight properly.
• Added module info section for fairings.
• Rebalanced engine entry costs.

Miscellaneous

• Moved all Part Loader part info code into a separate method which is run after drag cubes are loaded/created. Thus modules can access the part’s drag cube information in their info.
• MapSO and CBAttributeMapSO methods made virtual and member variables protected.
• Made physics-less part mass effect KB mass value.
• Zero part count vessels will not be run through Flight Integrator.
• Increased mass on some wings.
• Fixed a nullref being caused when clicking between vessels and empty space in map view.
• Vessels that blow up in atmosphere properly kill off their crew members.
• Added Part temperature gauges/highlighting (toggle with F10).
• Part temperature overlay can now be toggled with F11
• Part aerodynamic forces overlay can now be toggled with F12
