Field Training Facility (FTF)

This mod provides a training system (school) for your kerbalnauts by adding a Field Training Facility into all science laboratories.

Field Training Facility provides a training method that consumes electric charge over time to earn kerbal experience (stars).

If leveling up immediately is not realistic?
Do you think training needs time to complete?
then Field Training Facility will be the answer for you.
The Field Training Facility (FTF) consumes Time and Electric Charge in order to train (school) your kerbalnauts.

And you can have both installed

Someone like me will want to use both. What happens?
Both Field Training Facility (FTF) and Field Training Facility (FTF) work together when both are installed.
Result is shown below:*

The longer you train with FTF, the less science it costs to level immediately using the FTL.

For example:

Just using FTL, Level 4 -> Level 5 consumes 640p of Science point. But Level 4(50% with FTF) -> Level 5 consumes just 320p of science point. If 90% with FTF? Just pay 64p of science point or wait some more days. you can get level 5 kerbalnaut.

More training means less science points needed, linearly.

These two addons cooperate with each other

If you want one thing, you can install just one mod. If you install both, they will cooperate and your kerbals profit!!

Cabin notes

You can tweak values by editing the part.cfg or using a ModuleManager patch.
This module can be added to other crewed parts directly or using a ModuleManager patch.
The code currently only works with the first eight kerbals in a part.

If you are in a hurry and just want to 'download' experience into your kerbalnauts then the Field Training Lab will be the answer for you. The Field Training Facility (FTF) consumes Science and Electric Charge in order to train (school) your kerbalnauts.

Installation Directions ¹

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App

Whilst I agree CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools, I take no part, nor am interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods.

Please don't ask me about it but refer to the CKAN mod thread if you are having issues with CKAN or the metadata it maintains. Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.
