Deployed mystery goo experiment won't transmit

[FDru]

EDIT: False alarm, everything is working fine.

So I got a mission to collect mystery goo data from a deployed experiment on the Mun. Eventually I set it up, everything seemed to be working properly ( everything said active, deployed, 6 power available out of the 4 needed) but it was on the back-side of the Mun so I guess it wasn't able to transmit because of that.

Then I sent a relay satellite to orbit the Mun at maximum range, and that didn't work either.

Then I got a mission to collect data from the seismic experiment and decided to just build it on the "correct" side of the Mun, along with every other available experiment (including the goo one). Again, every one was reporting they are working properly after set up.

So after awhile the 2nd mission for the seismic data was completed, but the 1st mission for the goo experiment was still showing 0%.

I'm confused and wondering what could be causing the 1st experiment to never send its data...

You could be deploying it wrong. Use the drop button, not the "some re assembly required"

Hi. deployed experimient need a lot of time to transmit. Try to accelerate the time 2 or 3 days and check the experimient's control starion and look if have signal and in the experimient if it working.

For the seismic, it need impacts to work, you can crash something near it, bigger its better.

Check list:
Control station
Energy (bonus if deployed by an enginier)
Experimient (bonus if deployed by scientist)
Commutron if you are in another planet.

It takes some time for it to collect. It will only transmit when it gets a certain amount. The speed that it collects it also depends on the level of the scientist who deployed it.

So it may just take time to transmit anything.

I don't know what "some re assembly required" is. I take each experiment in the kerbals inventory, climb down the ladder and drop it from their inventory. Also, the experiment do show they are working when inspecting them so I think I did that part right.

As for the time taken... I thought I sent a satellite to Eve at least once during the time, which is almost a year of time since I never do this in an efficient manner... but I will check and see. If the 2nd experiment was the seismic one I guess that would explain how I got that one already since I probably dropped some fuel tanks on the Mun.

Could be a power issue? Not sure what happens on a night cycle on those as I normally use the nuke rather than solar power. The night is long on the Mun and it may just have stopped and need to be reset? Did you use the solar panels or nukes for power? Also unsure what happens if it loses comms. Is the crew still down there so you can check it?

Okay I'm dumb. I checked and made sure everything was still working properly and one of the goo experiments was at 100% completed and 100% transmitted, so I double checked my messages and it was the goo experiment mission that was completed, not the seismic one. Sooooo nevermind this whole thread and thank you all for helping.

Some re assembly required is an update that added the inventory system to stock KSP.
You should look at the page on the Steam KSP homepage.
