Biomatic (BIO)

Simple biome identification, notification, tracking, and warp stopping.

Preamble by Biff Space

The Biomatic sensor identifies the biome that the ship is in / above, and shows the information in a small text window. Optionally the ship's situation (high / low space, high / low flight, landed, splashed) can be shown as well. Biomes where science has been done can be added to a list, which is used together with a kill warp option to de-warp the ship when entering an un-listed biome. The list of biomes can be per-vessel, or global.

It is integrated with the stock toolbar by default, but can be configured to use Blizzy's Toolbar

The Biomatic Part

The Biomatic part is found under the science tab. In career or science mode, it is found in the 'Space Exploration' node of the tech tree - this must be researched before Biomatic will work, either as a part or as a Module Manager add-on to command pods.

Module Manager Patch(es)

• adds Biomatic to any command module or probe core
• [OPTIONAL] makes the Biomatic part available at all tech levels

Code

• Window now disappears with the rest of the UI on F2
• If the part config file is edited to move the part to a different tech tree node, it will now behave sensibly rather than requiring 'spaceExploration' to be unlocked
