# 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).

### [Field Training Facility (FTF)][FTF]  

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