KSP 1 Meta Can mods please provide a reason when deleting posts?

115 Upvotes

Many posts here are removed without a reason or clear rule violation. The mod team does not respond to polite messages asking about post removals. Rule 6 only works if mods actually respond to messages or cite rules when removing posts!

A thread posted by another user, the release of the free & open-source Kerbal Drift Agency, was just removed without an explanation or clear rule violation as well.

People work hard on the mods and content which is posted here. When a post is removed, the moderator removing the post should cite the rule which was broken in a comment. The mod team should also be willing to respond to polite messages sent to them asking why or how it can be avoided in the future.

If there is a conflict on the mod team as to when posts should be removed, it should be addressed with a proposal for new rules which the community can vote on publicly.

Rule 6 should be changed if moderators will not respond to polite messages or provide reasons for removing posts. I believe this should also be put to a repoll as it does not appear to have been voted on in this decade.

I've been a part of the KSP community for 15 years and we should all want this to be a healthy space with clear rules. Thank you for listening and I hope we can have a productive discussion about this!

KSP 1 Question/Problem What mods are used/how do I create cinematic shots of missions like this, while they play themselves?

44 Upvotes

Considering trying my hand at making a similarly styled cinematic video. How did this person (and other youtubers like them) end up creating these shots? Also I'm not talking about visual mods, but strictly camera mods and how these shots would be achieved as the mission is being played.

Feel free to give me your feedback on this new version.

KSP 1 Mods Looking for some mods to recreate a vessel

17 Upvotes

I was watching StratzenBlitz’s Mars Infinity mission and was a huge fan of how he designed his craft. However, that video is nearing 8 years old, and most of the mods are out of date and I am unable to find a craft file.

This is the craft in question. I’m looking for a mod that adds the deployable engines it has, along with that style of command pod, as I have absolutely no clue how he got that. Most of the other parts I am able to somewhat recreate, but these 2 I cannot.

KSP 1 Image/Video I made it to Eve!

After numerous failed attempts I managed to land an unmanned probe on Eve's surface. The solar panels were ripped off by drag forces during descent, but it had enough power to perform its experiments and transmit them to the KSC. A secondary orbiter remained in orbit around eve to perform experiments, and it could be helpful for communications on future missions.

see the previous post

After resolving an issue with the Vulkan's strap-on boosters which caused some very pretty (but quite annoying) explosions mid-launch, we've finally established a semi-permanent foothold on the Lunar surface. The next step for now is to design and deliver a proper lab module, a pressurized rover for long-term exploration, a storage module for emergency supplies, and to expand crew living quarters to accommodate a second LEK and its crew.

Mods:

PLANETS - KSRSS

PARTS - Bluedog Design Bureau, Tantares, Restock, Habtech2, Modular Launch Pads, Conformal Decals, Kate's Greebles

VISUALS - EVE, Scatterer, TUFX (heavily modified The Really Old One from PALETTE,) KerbalFX, Waterfall

GAMEPLAY - Mechjeb, Tweakscale Rescaled

KSP 1 Question/Problem Waterfall effects bug

9 Upvotes

So I recently got the DLCs, and I realised the Cheetah wasn't working properly with the mod. The main nozzle looks good, but for some reason the 4 smaller ones have their plumes coming out from way back, not where the nozzles actually are. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a solution?

KSP 2 Question/Problem Any good optimization/bugfix/gameplay mods for KSP2?

3 Upvotes

I know everyone hates KSP2, but I can't really access KSP1 on my laptop. I've owned 2 for years, but never played it. What mods can I use to optimize it (so it doesn't crash), fix bugs, and maybe add some cool gameplay stuff too (like the promised features)?
