MechJeb does not show up in the career mode. Even after adding "TechRequired = start" under the editor parameters in the part.cfg file, it still does not show up in the tech tree or under the Command list in the VAB building.

Has anyone else looked into this or seen how other mods were able to integrate into the tech tree?

by the looks of it you you have to spend a bazillion "science" to max out
unmanned part of the tree, there is a tech tree png someone did on the
forum mentions some mods right on the far right of the diagram once you
have maxed out certain tech.

Its a real shame as I would have much preferred that you started with
unmanned flights before trusting your rickity tech on kerbs! - ah well

Figured it out!

need to add these two items to the part.cfg file:

TechRequired = start
entryCost = 5800

You can set the entryCost to whatever number you want.

(Turns out the KSP forums knew this for over an hour now...)

From the information I have seen in the KSP mod forums, each mod part can subscribe itself to any tech node in the list. By setting the MechJeb part file to include 'TechRequired = start' (like all the other starting parts) seems like it should make it available immediately upon starting the Career Mode. However, it is apparently not that simple.

I was wrong in my assumption, I cloned my save and ahem borrowed
1,000,000 science just to see if my theory held out, basically even with
everything maxed out it still doesn't show.

So definite issue unfortunately caused by .22 update...

It works fine in .22 sandbox mode. So once/if the game recognizes the MJ part as acceptable for use in career mode, everything should work as normal.

nice one!

(I can confirm adding these to the part.cfg works)

Best way to determine a fair cost?
