I frequently see requests for changes or mods that can be done easily using nothing but a module manager patch, often those have already been requested several times. Rather than copy/paste every in every single request, I thought it might be nice to make a database of module manager patches for the stock game so players can simply scroll through the list and pick out what they like. If you have a specific MM patch you would like to add to the list, feel free to post it. If someone else made it for you, please include their name. I would like to attribute the correct author.I will try to keep the thread up to date and will likely improve the thread organization as it grows. Instructions For Usage Install Module Manager. Many mods already come packaged with this, so you may already have it. However, it is wise to ensure you have the latest version. Copy the entire contents of the patch(es) you want into a text editor. I recommend Notepad++, but any text editor will do. Save the file in the Kerbal Space Program\GameData folder using a *.cfg extension and any name you wish (example: ServiceBayDeployLimiter.cfg). The patches may be almost anywhere in the GameData folder, you may wish to create a "Patches" folder for organization. The patches can all be in one file or split among many for your convenience (white space is ignored). Patches that alter the same modules may be combined provided they have the same header, see example below. Rules for Patches in the Database Patches in this thread must be for stock KSP. Mod patches should be posted in their respective threads. Patches must include the name of the original author or if you do not know, say so. Patches posted here are assumed to include no reserved rights beyond attribution. SCPD Patch Manager You can now download this database formatted for use with @linuxgurugamer's PatchManager mod. Simply extract the zip file to your GameData folder. Download Module Manager Patch Database Quality of Life Improvements These patches do not alter the overall difficulties in the game. In most cases they simply make it easier to do things you can already do through less convenient means.

Take your time, get it right. Life is more important than video games. Personally, I'm waiting for 1.1.3 anyway. You were not rude in the slightest. No worries.

SoonTM Really though, we don't even know if it will be out before 1.2 or 1.3. The timetable is completely unknown to us for the console versions. Obviously it is in the best interest of both Squad and FlyingTiger to get it out there and making money as soon as possible, before the game itself becomes too outdated and stale (see Minecraft Wii U Version, released last December and sold next to nothing). However, they probably do not want a repeat of the 1.1 mistake, putting it out there too early.

It did take me a while to get past Minmus, but keep in mind, those stats (which we haven't seen btw) are skewed by the fact that a lot of the career game takes place before leaving Kerbin's SOI. No matter how good a game is, there are going to be a lot of players that get bored or realize the game is not their kind of game before they get any further than that. If we were able to somehow get stats from only the people who truly enjoy the game, I think you would find it would be different.

I honestly have no idea how recent it is, I had to open the game to confirm it. Now, yes SAS is all or nothing, I'm well aware of that one (SAS is really stupid), but the gimbal itself is not. Here you go, made a video. It is a modded install but I'm fairly confident I have no mod doing that. EDIT: May be wrong on that, Claw's stock bug fix package does something to gimbal." I'll investigate further. We'll get to the bottom of this. EDIT2: Well I had Gimbal Plus in that mod disabled, but I'm gonna play it safe and kill all mods and try the test again. FINAL EDIT: Confirmed, stock behavior.

The engine gimbal is not all or nothing, your keyboard is. If you have a flight stick, or even an XBox controller, it will scale. It's no different than using ailerons with a keyboard really. A keyboard is just an inferior way to simulate this sort of thing. I understand not everyone owns a controller or stick, but the game does simulate gimbal correctly.

I think Kerbal Engineer has a whole section on heat.

You can place them on upper stages, you just have to strut the two that don't attach. The big problem with a center node is there is no room for it.

I think some people prefer that one because "Astronaut" is originally/typically associated with the United States while "Cosmonaut" is associated with Russia, and Kerbonaut is not partial to either. The idea being that KSP should be universal and not partial to any one space program. But yeah I kind of agree with you, I dislike the "K" trend.

Nonono, if you want a good name it should be "That hot thing in the sky that is yellow even though it should be white."

Just don't put any dots over the U or we will never hear the end of the pronunciation threads. EDIT: Is this a different thread? How did we end up with two of these?

It's official but not developer information. Squad hosts it but the information is fan maintained, so what he says is true. It even says so on the front page. " The official community-driven guide to the game. " And if you read the linked article. " “Kerbol” is a fan-made portmanteau of “Kerbal” and “Sol” — the Latin name for the real-life Sun. ... Fans on the KSP forums invented and popularized the name. "

Not to distract from your stock suggestion, but in case you need it, here is a ModuleManager script to make it happen. I included my own fairing control as well. @PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleProceduralFairing]]:FINAL { @MODULE[ModuleProceduralFairing] { stagingEnableText = Fairing: Enable Staging stagingDisableText = Fairing: Disable Staging stagingToggleEnabledEditor = true } } @PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleParachute]]:FINAL { @MODULE[ModuleParachute] { stagingEnableText = Parachute: Enable Staging stagingDisableText = Parachute: Disable Staging stagingToggleEnabledEditor = true } } Unfortunately Engines do not appear implement this control. I tried, it didn't work.

I think you kinda missed the point though. The point was his suggestion did not have a suggestion in it, and that is why it was misinterpreted as a question.

Our sun's name Sol, why do we call it the Sun? I mean, I really don't care, if Squad want's to rename it, then go for it. I just don't think it's that big of a deal. "sun" is a generic term, "the Sun", to me, refers to the star of the system you are currently in.

I guess? I'm not sure a nickname qualifies as role play though.

It's bugged. The developer that did it said it would be fixed SoonTM

That's a forum default. I haven't assigned any title to my name.

If you are making a suggestion, you need to make it clear and obvious what that suggestion is. Clever roleplay is not only against forum rules, but it is often open to interpretation which is not good for suggestions.

You haven't given anything at all. There is a 0% chance that anyone will get into your save file for a single player game if multiplayer is implemented in any way that can't be done right now. Not 0.025%.... NONE, ZIP, ZILCH. It isn't remote, it is non existent. You are making stuff up about things you do not understand. You know what else is NONE, ZIP, ZILCH? The number of real reasons you have given why multiplayer would affect you playing single player. Even if there was such a chance, that is not a reason to not do something. There is a higher than 0.025% chance that implementing any of the things you want will break your save game. Is that a justification for not doing them? No Gas Planet 2 for you, it could potentially break the game. No alterations to career mode either, because well that could break your game. Any development of any kind could break your game, 1.1 is proof of that. Are you saying Squad should just stop right now?

You have no idea what you are talking about. Your world save is available to no one unless you explicit give open access to it, or your computer is hacked, but KSP being single player only won't stop that. Your reaching for arguments to support your stance which has no legs to stand on, and you are failing at it. Minecraft wasn't ported, it was re-written. The console versions are separate entities entirely (Java doesn't run on Apple, and I doubt it runs on PS4, it definitely doesn't run on Wii U) . My understanding of KSP is that will not the same, it is a direct port. If the game is done right, the bugs that affect single player will be the same in multiplayer. As I said above, they would be the same client. The only bugs that would independent of single player would be anything involving connections. I can't tell you how Squad is implementing the game, but I would certainly hope they would do it that way, it makes the most sense programmatically. As for bugs that exist now, that really shouldn't be a factor since multiplayer isn't coming right away. I agree, I hope they fix those first. I have nothing against people who want to play singleplayer, as you say, to each his own, but some people in the thread are saying nobody should get multiplayer because they don't want it, and that is just selfish.

We don't know when that will be coming. From what I've seen it's not even certain if we know if that is really coming.

Press the Toggle Window button.

There is none. There are some offhand mentions of graphics enhancements, part revamps, vr, and lots of mentions of multiplayer. However, we have no idea when (or if) any of that is coming and nothing has been confirmed for 1.2. EDIT: I take that back, we also are fairly confident the antenna system that RoverDude was working on is probably coming in 1.2, so there is that.

If done correctly yes. Single player would become a locally running multiplayer server with no outside access. Minecraft is a great example of this because it started where the mp client was separate from the sp client. When Mojang realised they were fixing bugs twice far too often, they merged the client. Now when you start a single player Minecraft game, its actually a very hidden multiplayer game.
