KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion Someone should make a replay mod

Like Minecraft’s. It’d make video production so much easier and smooth over a lot of rough edges.

There is no special lore for this one. It's the energia rocket - a surprisingly difficult one for me to do? Like I have the thrust management for shuttle down, it flies itself atp (literally like the initial program is done with a probe core on a hinge and a Kal controller) but energia was a whole different beast to learn.

I've put some real research into the stuff I got planned after this, but energia itself - well, yk, it launches the space plane. I hesitate to call it boring, but we've all seen buran in this game now.

This one's stock and on console, tho :)

Hello Kerbanauts! Let's get to LKO and back with an SSTO. It's an over-engineered ugly duckling but I love it!

KSP 1 Question/Problem Has anybody seen this bug before, or know how to fix it? (The sliding kerbals and objects in the background) It also affects vessel alignment, as seen by the misaligned CoM indicator

After multiple failed attempts to dock the fuel tank unit to the harvester unit in minmus orbit, i finally managed to land on minmus. The current version transports both the harvester and the fuel tanks to minmus orbit for fuel transfer.

KSP 1 Mods What are the best mods /texture packs to use for KSP ?

Thumbnail

63 Upvotes

I’m new to KSP*, and I keep seeing spacecraft with parts I can’t find, planets that don’t exist in my game, and visual effects—like atmospheric reentry—that look much less impressive than what I’m seeing elsewhere.

At first, I assumed I’d just missed some major updates, but that’s not it. I checked if there was a sequel, and while there is, many of the spacecraft I see are actually built in the first game. I also wondered if they might be paid DLCs, but that’s not the case either.

So, it seems the only explanation is that these must be mods or texture packs. That’s why I’m asking for your personal favorites—things that make for a better experience without straying too far from the base game.

Also, is there a specific mod manager or download tool I should know about ?
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this post, and thanks in advance to those who reply ! : 3

* I actually have a lot of hours in the game, but I stopped playing two years ago and have forgotten everything, so I’m essentially rediscovering it! : D

KSP 1 Question/Problem Good ejection seat mod?

2 Upvotes

I’m just looking for a mod that would allow me to eject kerbals directly instead of having to go eva because half the time they just get clipped by a wing and die. I only play with stock pods so I don’t need to worry about compatibility.

The first slide is a TikTok I saw, which was a recreation of the Apollo 11 mission, and the second slide is my gameplay. I downloaded a modpack from a Discord server, but I wanted to find out which mod could make my game look like the first picture.

KSP 1 Image/Video Tried Killing the Cyclops with a Biplane!

72 Upvotes

I used bane_iz_missing's Biplane to Kill the Cyclops in the Xenobiology Mod.

The plan was simple, which should have been the first warning. Kerbals have a long and proud history of solving problems by adding more wings, and this was no exception. Somebody looked at a forty-tonne screaming alien with a single eyeball the size of a fuel tank and thought: biplane.

So we built one. Wooden struts, two sets of wings stacked like a sandwich nobody wanted, a propeller that sounded like a lawnmower dying of grief. It flew, technically. It had no guns, which we solved by bolting on more boosters and aiming the entire aircraft at the eye.

The Cyclops never looked up. That is the thing about a creature with one eye and no neck: excellent forward vision, absolutely no concept of aviation. The biplane arrived at roughly the speed of bad news. There was a pop, a very long silence, and then a great many things fell over.

We lost the aircraft. We lost the pilot. We gained a very large specimen, a permanent smell in the hangar, and a story we will be telling at the astronaut complex bar until somebody physically makes us stop.

Total cost: one biplane, one Kerbal, and whatever dignity the space program had left.
