@Halban I imply that we (thats one person developing and on running the code) dont have any resources to implement those suggestions even if we find them great ideas. I also believe that everyone can learn if he/she wants something to exist.

@Mitokandriafeel free to commit the necessary code to add all the features you dream of

A lot of new ideas and new people joined the KSP community with the release of KSP2 into EA. I do love their new ideas and willingness to contribute as much and as fast as possible. However i do wish some would take time to get to know this amazing group of people and what we have build in the the past years. It would help them to better understand what exists and what is missing as well as how to implement it best. I hope some of you read this and I'm sure i speak for everyone when i say that you're welcome to ask whether or not your idea already exists or about people you can potentially talk to to learn more.

There one on ckan side that runs on SpaceDock and notifies them. You want to talk to @HebaruSanabout how ckan works and integrates (it might even help you not to reinvent the wheel) The main point im trying to make is: Mod Authors have to approve of distribution channels.

i welcome your effort. However i think you should be aware that CKAN has a checkbox for mod authors to opt into it on SpaceDock. You might want a similar opt in method for any mod Repo you build. If you want and are willing to commit the needed code this could be added to SpaceDock.

@verniervonkerman your solution was in the first post.How can i improve my way of informing people?

@SydKhaosits a central server in Finland. For a while it was on sponsored DigitalOcean geo cluster. @Stoup you can simply click "browse new mods" ( https://spacedock.info/kerbal-space-program-2/browse/new) and then page trough history. The best way to find mods is still to search for them. Many people got a more intense introduction to advanced search filters today than they wished for.

Also: if anyone is missing a feature on SpaceDock they are welcome to make it happen. The code and help getting started is there. It is however true that servers cost money. My solution is to ask politely instead of going the freemium or ad route.

If youre having problems with the Advanced Search help beeing in the way reload your browser cache by pressing Shift+F5 OR Shift+ click reload

Maintanance: On Monday the 6th at 15:00 CET we will update the Site. There will be a Downtime of up to 30 Minutes. We will keep you up to date here. Downtime has ended. Enjoy the new features and fixes.

says the astronaut on spacewalk?

in DMP most problems (apart from firewalls and port forwarding) come from missing parts on one machine. So even DMP needs the same (parts) mods on every client to be able to show vessels using them. So KSP2 MP needs mod synching and mods working with MP will need to be aware of MP if they alter certain things (e.g. planet mods).

@RaBDawG Why are you always shouting?

I do agree but does it need to be all caps?

@modus The KSP Community has specialist services: Official KSP Forums: The Information Hub Realtime Chat: IRC, nowdays Discord. KerbalX: Craft hosting CKAN: Mod (dependency) manager SpaceDock: Mod hosting (Did i miss something?) I did always want to add more social and administrativ functions like onsite messenging and mod rating. But there was fear it could generate a lot of work manageing those. And helping hands always are in short supply.

I suggested to @cheese3660 (SpaceWarp) to bundle everything in one download and also make an auto download&install script mod devs can distribute with their mods so that the mod loader dependencies can be solved with a single click...until ckan for ksp2 exists. Seems like shes working on that. I also pointed her to you @HebaruSan to exchange insights into ksp2 workings.

Its like a big rocket with small thrusters. Stuck at trying

I see the problems with having information in multiple places. (SpaceDock, Forums and so on). Any idea about what SpaceDock itself could do to minimize that problem? I know its the authors task to harmonize their statements and post in the channels they think are important. But still... Im a service provider my task is to make life easy. Regarding the topic again: Trying stuff is what people do around here. Something will win. Lets hope its the best solution for the task not the VHS of KSP2 Mod loaders. Im not qualified to say which one that is. What a luxury we have that all we can complain about is that we have to much.

Hi, in order to automatically add new game versions to SpaceDock i need an machine readable source for game versions that updates as close to release as possible. I tried steamdb but it only has build numbers. Could the devs/community managers make those available (e.g. as API or simply URL i can scrape?) BTW SpaceDock has an API of its own so mod other people can pull this data and more from there (see https://spacedock.info for documentation).

I like the second one. It fits my PC trying to run KSP2.

Regarding custom Flags i made a modpack: https://spacedock.info/pack/471/Custom Flags

@lordbunson wow very cool. People who still want to help:Its a community project (like every thing here) im sure theres always somethign to help (not only with coding).

For now Space Warp is the more Downloaded. https://spacedock.info/mod/3257/Space Warp#stats https://spacedock.info/mod/3255/BepInEx for KSP 2#stats

im in at least 5 chat places about ksp2 modding atm plus the forums

Yes. I hope that everything boils down to one place to comunicate. Having all this seperate walled gardens on top of the forums and the established watering hole feels a bit ineffective.
