nice, the 3060 is a very good graphics card however I would recommend the 6700xt from AMD instead as it costs similar but you get a little more performance. The most important part of a pc is probably the graphics card and CPU combined - If you look at the KSP2 recommended your current graphics card is below recommended but your CPU is above recommended I would recommend something more akin to this, where more money is spent on GPU than it is on CPU https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FmQsd9

Ok, that's good but not $1000 good lol With your mouse and keyboard you can spend $30 to $300 if you wanted - its purely a matter of preference As for a monitor its a similar story - do you know what resolution or refresh rate it is? don't worry about that particular warning about BIOS, it's an easy (free) fix irl also don't just buy my list - I'm by no means an expert. Make sure you take the time to research and understand what you're paying for

yep they can both run it fine I'll make you a list for the cheapest that meets recommended requirements

looks very nice however I will say that you are very much overspending. I very quickly threw together a rough list for you, and the total is not near $2000 at all. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NTmHPX Whilst I have no doubt that this could run KSP2, I don't think its worth $2000 at all. Coming as someone who built their pc themselves, I obviously recommend building a pc yourself however its certainly a daunting task, and there are plenty of other prebuilt pcs with much better value than that. You don't need to spend $2000 either, a $1000 will run KSP 2 fine. So I'd urge you to watch a few beginner tutorials and give it some thought. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZNyTGL (What I would spend $2000 on) I know these are just numbers on a page because they were for me, but this build has the world's fastest CPU and the world's second fastest GPU, so you can see how bad value that prebuilt was.

Anyone know how to change settings to high/ultra instead of low? Is it in the config, ingame menu, or mod menu? Thanks

I know Exactly what you mean

Thanks everyone! I've been actually been playing KSP for a while, but let's just say a ps4 is a very different experience. After ps4, I played on a laptop that would lag to 30 fps at 50 parts. I've only just bought my first gaming pc, and as you can imagine, its like playing a new game. I was already used to modding my game on the laptop (which is probably why it ran so badly), I was more asking about creating mods.

Can I give you some part mod recommendations? With part mods I go by the terrible rule of thumb that anything 1.10 or younger is fine. Just remember for any other mods, you'll want to make sure its 1.12.x First of all is ReStock - this makes all the stock parts look amazing without changing any gameplay. Top recommendation. ReStock+ - this adds loads of parts you didn't know you needed. Also, if you don't have the making history dlc, it give you all of its parts in a restockalike style. Near Future Technologies - loads of parts - if you're overwhelmed, I'd recommend near future electrical then spacecraft and propulsion. Stockalike Station Parts Expansion (SSPX) - more of a restockalike mod to me, but one that will add a plethora of parts for space stations, with full career mode integration. Planetside Exploration Technologies - a very nice mod for your surface bases, in a restockalike style. Like the ground version of sspx. Kerbal Planetary Base Systems (KPBS) - another mod for surafce bases, but in a stockalike style (pairs well without ReStock) but still works without. Full career mode integration. Feline Utility Rovers - the go to rover mod in a stockalike art style similar to KPBS Hope this helps!

As the title says, I would like to learn more about modding ksp. I have very little prior experience (except for a bit of python) so I was wondering if there is like a starter guide, or something of the sorts that could point me in the right direction. Thanks

Hi there, just upgraded to my first gaming pc. Naturally I did the first thing you'd expect and installed parallax/scattera/EVE/spectra, but it has persistently opened in "low" settings. I'm using a 1080 (non ti), so I think I would be able to run settings on high/ultra. How do I change the settings?

Thanks Can I ask for near future and FUR next?

I was wondering if there is a priority to mod supports? Or is it first come first served?

No rush @Nazalassa, you still have two hours before your deadline. just kidding, good luck on those exams

you saw... you saw... you saw WHAT?

Hi there, any support for Should be very quick - just needs the docking port to be passable thanks

Going from suborbital to ssto - Only in KSP

Feels like a slippery slope - but an interesting one nonetheless Near Future Construction and Launch Vehicles has dedicated structural variants of certain parts that are fuel less. Could work similarly.

ohh, wow, I didn't realise that was a thing

Err... now I'm confused nvm

That was weird. I posted that before you posted But the time says that it was posted after

Nothing?

How do you get the custom loading screens? I see every single stock screenshot a minimum of 5 times when loading my ksp. p.s. Really nice Curiosity Rover - what mod is it from? p.p.s. lovely mod @benjee10
