While I sleep I dream of building rockets in KSP and colonizing other planets.

I thought I would get some serious answers but apparently half this community lacks the ability to respect other members. I would appreciate it that if you are unable to post in a mature manner that you just refrain from posting, period. Thank you

Thanks for your assistance and I really appreciate your snide remark concerning available storage space in this decade. In my third sentence I quite clearly stated that I want to perform a clean install, and was hoping there was an alternative to using Steam. I don't understand why it is so difficult for you to comprehend

I apologize. I thought I was quite clear.

I don't think this is going to help me. Creating an .msi won't get rid of the redundant steam files. Nor will it allow for a clean installation from scratch. It is the opposite of what I am requesting.

You can update through launcher.exe.

I'm afraid you didn't get past the first sentence of my op. Re-read the op.

I am well aware of this. Hence the second sentence in the op.

I'm not looking to repurchase the game though.

I own the steam copy but prefer not to use it and don't want the extra clutter of the steam files. As we all know KSP works without steam as a standalone so I went through the KSP folder and manually deleted any file with the word "steam" in it. In all there were a half dozen files that were clearly related to steam but I'm concerned that I didn't not get them all and would prefer to install from scratch. Is there an alternative to Steam for installing KSP? As an example does Squad provide a download for verifiable owners? Is there a different way? My reason is that there are instance sof other games providing steam keys and vice-versa. I'm not looking to repurchase the game so sites like gog and gmg aren't a viable alternative. Edit: For clarification. I want to perform a clean installation without the steam files.

Stock Bug Fix Modules increases the spread, allows for some customization, and fixes some stock bugs to boot. I believe Realchutes allows for customizing parachutes but I haven't played with the mod.

He said Pacific Time not the Pacific Ocean. It's the western edge.

The only thing steam is good for where KSP is concerned is if you want to keep track of your hours played. Otherwise I suggest buying direct or using a 3rd party site like G2A.com. It's nearly 75% off.

I can't wait to try this out. I don't use the stock strategies because they feel inhibiting to me.

Windows 8.1 gives me fewer issues and increased performance than 7. I'm still afraid to take the plunge into windows 10. I'd love to get into linux but for years I have been to afraid of the learning curve.
