Engineer
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
(Redirected from Engineers)
Engineer is a specialization assigned to Kerbonauts. Engineers can repair broken parts with repair kits and repack parachutes. They also greatly affect the efficiency of Resource Harvesters and Converters on the craft they are aboard. Bill Kerman is the engineer of the Original four - he "builds" stuff.
Since 1.11, all engineers are able to access the EVA Construction Mode, allowing them to place parts stored in storage containers or move existing parts in EVA.
Abilities
Additional abilities are unlocked as Experience is gained.
| Level | Effects provided | Harvesting/Conversion Multiplier | G Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☆☆☆☆☆ | EVA Construction Mode | 25% | 1x |
| ★☆☆☆☆ | Repack parachutes / Repair parts (>= 1.11) | 45% | 1.1x |
| ★★☆☆☆ | Repair lander legs (<= 1.10.1) | 65% | 1.2x |
| ★★★☆☆ | Repair wheels (<= 1.10.1) | 85% | 1.3x |
| ★★★★☆ | None | 105% | 1.4x |
| ★★★★★ | None | 125% | 1.5x |
Note: with no engineer aboard a craft its production rate multiplier is 5%.
