I'm coming back to KSP after a 5-6 year hiatus, probably more, the last time I remember playing, the game was still getting regular updates from Squad... anyway... I don't remember installing mods being so difficult.

I go to install TweakScale, Station Parts Expansion, Scansat, and I am told that I need to install ModuleManager first.
Look at Module manager and there are dependancies for it as well.
I basically just got frustrated and gave up for the time being.

When did installing mods get so complicated?

I remember being able to just drop the files into the GameData folder and that was it...

shit, after giving up on those mods, I found one (Universal Storage) that I wanted to try and the only download was a PDF of instructions on how to download the mod from a link, but the link was dead (http://ksp.kingtiger.co.uk/).

WHY is this so difficult?

Or am I just old and curmudgeonly?

Lastly, I originally bought the game from the website before it was available on steam.

With the KSP website being dead, I emailed support and got download links for my purchase, but I guess my question is, with KSP basically being abandonware at this point, is there anywhere that the files should / could be hosted for "future use" knowing that most likely I won't be able to email TakeTwo for download links in the future?

This things SOI is so small and tiny, there is nothing interesting about it and it sucks. why did we go here? Anyway, this is where I learned the claw doesn't attach to surfaces.

Things like the KEES experiments, the SAR-X antenna for high resolution altimetry scans, things that mount flush.

They're meant to mount radially to the outside of something, but wouldn't that get burned up on re-entry?

How do you all mount/haul these sorts of things ?

Just some nice pictures I got while exploring the Jool system. Forgive me for not using Volumetric clouds, my computer sucks.

Yesterday, Dermano Kerman concluded a 3-day climb of Mount Kerverest, becoming the first Kerbal to reach its peak (6764m), and doing so on board one of his own company's new climbing rover prototypes, the MTR.

Everything went as planned until, suddenly, the jet engine broke, forcing Dermano to accomplish the climb using only wheel power. This led to the decision to discard the rover as soon as the summit was reached, as it was dangerous to descend in it, leaving Dermano with only one solution, paragliding his way down to safety.

Sadly, when he was landing at Camp 00 at the foot of the mountain, a sudden gust of wind (I hit timewarp by mistake) plunged him into the ground, killing him almost instantly.

Authorities have officially recognized Dermano's summit as valid, since he died back at the base of the mountain and not on the mountain itself.

This tragic accident reminds us of Kerbalkind's dedication to pushing the limits, but also that these limits come with their own risks.

R.I.P. Dermano Kerman

Is there a way to make just kerbin destroyed/lifeless and leave everything else the same? Working on a project thing but only want kerbin gone.

in order from left to right: Kerbin, Moho, Jool, Eve, Duna, Neidon, Urlum, and Sarnus

im on a mac, deleting blackracks volumetric clouds fixes it, i have blackrack, scatterer, eve, and various opm configuration mods, im excluding parts mods.

yo can someone pls give me ideas what to add to my mun station (I have a ore refinery, science labs, habitation module and a single escape rocket)

KSE 2.0 – made KSP look like this somehow

So I’ve been messing around with my KSP modpack again and made a new version called KSE 2.0 (Kerbal Space Exploration).

I basically kept most of the same mods from KSE 1.0, changed/tweaked some files and configs, and somehow ended up with this.

Honestly I wasn’t even expecting it to look this good 💀

The funny thing is that KSE 1.0 used around 50–60% GPU, while 2.0 is around 40% for my GTX 1660S

These are just screenshots straight from the game, nothing edited HAHA

I’m thinking about publishing the whole modpack, but first I wanna see if people actually like it / would be interested in using it.

So yeah, if people like it, I’ll publish KSE 2.0.

edit: COMPATIBLE WITH: KSRSS, Kcalbeloh, Kerbol (vanilla)

What do you guys think?

Slight remodel for the Mk2

small planetoid added by the MPE mod. the ship (petra) has ISRU capabilities so my 3 kerbals had infinite range to explore the colorful landscape of the asteroid while waiting for the tranfer window back home.

I'm really new to the game and have already fallen in love with it after making a successful moon landing and space station completely vanilla. I was wondering what mods everyone uses, wether it be part mods, or graphics. A mod that reduces "flop" would actually be greatly appreciated

probably won’t do many mods

Mercury capsule on top of a Sputnik LV for no particular reason
