Configuration
There are two configuration files which control USI's settings, one for USI-LS and one for MKS Kolonization. If you have both a Life Support Mod and the full MKS installed you will have two configuration files.

Under these settings a Kerbal,
- can last 90 hours without
Supplies(SupplyTime=324,000 supplies per second / 3,600 seconds per hour) - can last 6 hours on EVA (
EVATime=21,600 seconds / 3,600 seconds per hour) - consumes 1.8
Suppliesper hour (SupplyAmount=.Suppliesper second * 3,600 seconds per hour), producing the same asMulch(Waste)
Vets or regular Kerbals will turn into Tourists if not taken care of, at least until below 25 km altitude on Kerbin and Habs and Life Support equipment does not wear out (ReplacementParts=0).
The Life Support settings can be configured from within the game by clicking green box icon from the Launch Complex map screen.
Set NoSupplyEffectVets, EVAEffectVets and NoHomeEffectVets to 0.
Note: If your Veteran has already been affected by any of these conditions, switching the configuration to 0 will not return your Veteran to their normal selves. You will either need to recover, feed, or pamper them back to happiness or you will need to hack your save file to restore their profession.
The easiest way of disabling Habitation, is to simply make it so that there are no downsides to being homesick and tired of the vessel your kerbal is in. Set both NoHomeEffect and NoHomeEffectVets to 0.
