MIA

Hi!I'm new guy,I'm playing KSP on PS4(1.8) now.(It's a tragedy...)

Can I rescue Kerbal when MIA

Welcome to the forum @Albert950417, your question has been moved from Suggestions and Development to Gameplay questions. It's not as great a tragedy as you think, MIA kerbals eventually respawn.

After a few hours of gametime, they will suddenly reappear in your Astronaut Complex. No need for a rescue.

depends on difficulty level.

you can check that by pressing esc and reviewing difficulty settings. one of them goes something like "missing kerbals respawn".

I thought that without having “missing Kerbals respawn” turned on, they were listed as KIA not MIA?

oh, no idea. i never played without the respawn disabled

Kerbals that are MIA (means Missing in Action) do respawn. They can respawn in an hour or a few hours. 

Kerbals that are KIA (Killed In Action) do not respawn.  They are gone.

I hope this answered your question.

Thanks guys!!!

My kerbals are KIA in science mode. I don’t know if they respawn, but some people have said I can change it in the persistent.sfs file. However I could not find said file anywhere. Any ideas?
