One would presume that they'll need to crank out a handful more boosters as well. Maybe they've been secretly reusing the 2nd stage this whole time!

Today I finally hard boiled eggs for the first time without them coming out overcooked or hilariously under-cooked. And now I don't feel great because I ate too many. Relays really aren't magical. They're basically a light switch that's turned off and on with a much smaller electric signal instead of your finger.

I've never used a 1030. But since it's almost certainly more powerful than that 550Ti, I imagine you'll be fine. Personally I would go a little higher, just in case you find something else you do want to play. There's nothing wrong with used cards, as long as they're quiet and they work. If you're worried about mined cards (which I've seen some pretty good arguments about why used mined cards are actually better than gamed ones), I don't think many cards of the 50 tier were mined with. So a used 1050 or 1050Ti would be worth looking into. You could probably snag a used one of those for the price of a new 1030 or less.

Yes. Even an old, low powered used one. I've played KSP just fine using a GTX 550Ti that I picked up on a FB group for $25. It's a 1GB card that came out 9 years ago. This was with a 4th Generation Core i3.

What's the error?

Your throttle appears to be at zero. You can instantly set throttle to max with the 'Z' key, or throttle up (Shift), throttle down (Ctrl) Also, moving to Gameplay Questions.

I use https://cubeupload.com/ It's unlikely to be blocked by your chromebook.

A site specific for image hosting, like imgur, would be better. Google Drive can work, but getting the permissions right can be tricky. Google Drive isn't really meant for image hosting.

My experience has been that you only lose the revert ability if you leave the physics bubble. I've gone EVA and switched back and forth, and was able to still revert.

Hello, @LittleBitMore! Welcome to the forums! New accounts require to have 5 posts (outside of The Lounge) approved by moderators before all of your profile options are unlocked.

There's no wrong questions. Stick around, we're a pretty warm and welcoming bunch.

Overlapping threads merged, and redundant links removed. @TimKerbin, you actually need to enable the textures in the game's settings. By default the new textures will be off. I believe it's Terrain Shader Quality under your graphics settings.

Yet. It's still gotta come back down.

Welcome to the forum, @KOMKO190! Personally I don't know of an official discord, but there is an official IRC chat, with the link at the top of the page. The only advice I can really give you before you start is that the in-game tutorials leave a lot to be desired. You're better off browsing the tutorials section of the forum or by asking specific questions in our Gameplay Questions section.

Probably not. As it stands right now, if IPC is the primary focus, as it will be with KSP, then it's still probably best to stick with Intel. However, just looking at what AMD's been doing the last few years, it might be interesting to see if the tables will turn come the release of the Ryzen 4000 series. It's not impossible that Intel may surprise us too. Maybe they'll do something crazy like give us hyperthreading back. I've also got a bad taste in my mouth with AMD from some of the older stuff I used to work with. But having recently built a Ryzen system, I've gotta say I'm impressed. Although I haven't done any KSP on that system, overall it's not, you know, terrible like AMD used to be. My point was that AMD's worth looking into (coming from someone who was very recently in your position of not being fond of AMD), not necessarily that it would be better.

@dave1904, I've merged your question into the master thread for this sort of thing. I wouldn't hold my breath for any real improvements out of intel any time soon. The last few generations haven't been improving much at all and have all but been taken over by Ryzen. Intel is probably still your best bet for KSP, but you may want to take a look at some of the IPC numbers for Ryzen as well. If you're fine on waiting, maybe wait to see what the 4th generation of AMD chips have to offer. Is your 4770K overclocked?

It's an i7-7700K OCed to 4.8 and DDR4 running at 3333mhz. Drive is a WD 7200RPM...blue, I think. I did a comparison once to loading off of my Samsung EVO 970 NVMe drive and didn't see much difference, but I didn't actually time it. Testing with my laptop would probably get more of a difference.

~70 seconds isn't a bad load time for a stock game. I don't think you're going to see any improvements from a RAM disk as I don't think the storage medium is what's holding you back. If you compared the RAM disk results to a spinning mechanical drive, you'd probably see a difference. I'm not sure I'll see much difference either. I load the stock game in about 20 seconds off of a mechanical drive.

Moved to Gameplay Questions. Welcome to the forum, @~SYSTEM~. I never found much use for the in-game tutorials. They seem to be really good for telling you how to not do things. Someone should be along shortly to provide more detailed help! Good luck!

You can buy just Reach for $10 on Steam, you don't need the whole collection. That's what I did. I might get ODST, but I don't find the replayability of the Master Chief based ones nearly as good as Reach/ODST.

Banned for posting in all the games. All of them.

@TanDeeJay, I've merged your pondering into the beautiful master thread for this sort of thing. Many of us have asked "Have I played too much KSP?" When what we really mean, is "Have I achieved the impossible?" Because the answer is certainly, definitively, always, a resounding "No. No, you have not."
