Glad to see it's still not there though. As I understand it our understanding that currency would be out was from this https://www.pcgamer.com/kerbal-space-program-director-explains-why-colonies-are-going-to-change-everything-lays-out-early-access-plans/ "Once interstellar travel is in place, KSP2 will have the "fundamental underpinnings for our complete career-equivalent mode," Simpson says, which is now called exploration mode. Currency is out, and resources are in—the key driving force for exploration campaigns will be the resources you collect and transport between colonies and use to build new vessels." And I I found some that took that as meaning that currency would still be in the game until the interstellar travel phase so just posting for clarification.

I love financing. I'm also happy to see this change. The cost is just now in resources instead of cash. There's still an incentive to keep things small, using less of your resources.

Let's start with Kerbin. We're getting a very expanded KSC, however, the looks vary from picture to picture. What we know for sure, is that there will be multiple space centers on the planets, and along with the ability to choose one of total four launchpads or two runways (they wil be longer now), we'll be able to launch craft from docks. The launch tower will move to accomodate the size of the rocket standng on the launchpad. Oh, and probably the most important bit, the KSC buildings will be destructible. The screenshot here could do with being replaced now that the game's graphics are a bit more phosisticated Edited February 12, 2023 by Bej Kerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keys don't get updated by Steam, only the devs. If they were updated internally by steam alone, we would have seen a ton of updates like the history section wouldn't we? Something has happened to both those keys. Edited February 14, 2023 by GoldForest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mod for a few games' official forums and have CM'd in the past (there can be lots of overlap depending on the size of the dev house). We usually have a pretty good level of access to the internal roadmap and frequently the designers/developers, and there will be firm gates around what can/can't be revealed. A pretty hard and fast rule though is that you don't answer anything regarding features unless you're 100% sure and it's not embargoed info. If an official channel mod posted something like this, it's either pretty solid, permitted info or they likely won't be a mod much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to believe that Kerbin will be free of resource limitations. We've only seen snippets of the VAB and resource implications, but it appears to be quantity, and not availability. While the absolute bottom tier of resources will probably be functionally limitless - Steel, methalox, etc, I wouldn't be surprised if Kerbin is resource poor in a lot of other early game materials, either low output or completely lacking. Stuff like nuclear fuel and the like are good examples of what I'm thinking would be short. So while you could just wait a long long time to build a ship with six NERV drives to ferry colony stuff right out to some prime spot on the moon of Jool, the game will probably heavily encourage you to instead go and colonize the mun, minmus, and other closer targets just to get access to more of the stuff needed to build fancier tech. So I doubt we can early game rush the biggest stuff out, we just won't have the materials to make it happen without exploring and colonizing first.

I think the cost/efficiency puzzle could be much more interesting this way actually because you'll have control over how much of each resource you'll have access to through ISRU.
