Contract Pack: Research Advancement Division CKAN

Research Advancement Division is a contract pack designed provide direction and reward players for doing science experiments. It is intended to be an alternative or complementary to Field Research. The difference with Field Research is that its contracts are designed with logical mission profiles in mind: each contract should be completable within a single flight, without unnecessary limitations.

Included are currently 6 contracts:

1. Orbital study: a variety of experiments across all available biomes, low and high space only
2. Orbital biome observation: experiments focused on 2 specific biomes, low and high space only
3. Surface study: a big suite of experiments while landed (or splashed) in 1 specific biome
4. Surface analysis: smaller set of experiments than the surface study, but spread out over 2 biomes instead.
5. Atmospheric investigation: suite of experiments while flying and/or low in the atmosphere of a planet, across several biomes.
6. Local Observation Flight: a big suite of experiments while flying high and/or low in 1 specific biome
7. Leftovers: several experiments that have already been done before, but still have >1 science value left to be recovered.

All contracts are targeted at a single planet/moon at any time and only request science subjects that have not been done at all or at least have some value left (Leftovers contract only). Mods which add additional experiments are automatically supported!

Contract Configurator is a hard dependency, without it this will not work! Get it here https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/91625-1101-contract-configurator-v1305-2020-10-05/

IMPORTANT: To ensure the best functionality for the surface contracts, I recommend all users to navigate to the Contract Configurator main folder (located at Gamedata/ContractConfigurator) and delete the files named BiomeData.cfg and BiomeDataDefault.cfg. Once you load up the game of your choice the biomedata will be automatically regenerated, this time with the correct values.
