A double negative is always a positive. Does a double positive mean you'll get a free pizza?

Floor 3469: You step out of the elevator to discover a time-space distortion that causes you to go down three floors.

Bang isn't the same as banned. Therefore, you are banned for using the wrong word.

9/10 Nice

I do not think of myself as a forum police officer looking for some unsuspecting forum speeder to give a ticket to, if that's what you're wondering. I simply go do what I like to do on the forum. I participate in the forum games, I share my screenshots, I welcome newcomers to the forum and the game, and I do try to write my fan-fic. I also approve new member's posts, which I love doing. Unfortunately, I do have to put on the ol' moderator's hat when I come across stuff that shouldn't be here. But it's not for the reason some people think moderators do that kind of thing. We do it because the community deserves a place that's relatively free from disrespect and disruption. We have a reputation of being accepting and accommodating. We're a giant hug-box and have community members of all backgrounds, demographics, and every other box people come in (and I really hate boxes people are people). And when someone disrupts that harmony, we have to do what we can to fix it. It's why we rely on the goodwill of the community to report what you come across so we can take care of those things.

Welcome to the forum, @DigitalEva. I, too, played KSP (Original) in the days of EA (0.18), but, to be honest with you, KSP2's learning curve is pretty steep. Your self-description could accurately describe more than 2/3 of us here - we love sci-fi and keep launching things in KSP1 until KSP2 gets better... Welcome aboard, and be sure to share some screenshots of what you make in either game. We love to see 'em!

Wow, I did not know that about growing bananas in Iceland! Speaking of things cold, is @ColdJ lurking today?

Yup and I love bananas! I eat one a day! But is @Nazalassa around?

Nope. But what about @Maria Sirona

Cartoonized Kerbal.

I understand, but don't delete the files. I had to set my planet pack down for a few months and walk away out of frustration and real-life things. However, I have begun to pick it back up and work on learning how to texture, make the terrain maps, and even terrain features for the system. It's definitely a challenge, but here's the thing, I know I can do anything I set my mind to do - and I am confident you can do it, too. Don't set out to do everything at once, but one part at a time. And maybe, instead of this mod, you set it to the side, make it a private archive, and start simple - make an antenna, design the part, program it, and release it. Then get more complex in your part designs. As your confidence builds, go until the entire station is done.

Yes, and it is one of my favorite games. And I have found one I really like that comes near to it - Captain of Industry. I think my very favorite game of all time is Kerbal Space Program, but I am not sure if anyone here has heard of it! TUBM has never been on a serious gameplay binge for 36 hours!

I hear you, but there is no need to give up. There are a lot of great modding tools and resources - and people here who can give you some pointers along the way. I am still learning how to make planets and all—been fighting and learning about how to do it now for six years and get closer each day. But I keep plugging away at it a little at a time. Keep doing it. Get Gimp (it's free), watch tutorials on YouTube, and visit the modding help section on this forum. You can do it.

Banned for not banning cheerfully.

Minimalistic.

I dunno. Probably another one, @Nazalassa?

I'm here but late. What about @Royalswissarmyknife?

The KSP forum moderator's team presents the Threads of the Month June 2023 Edition Greetings - more than a few days late to my fellow forum members! It is hard to believe we are already six days into the new month. For me, many things were going on at the end of May and the first week of June that prevented me from posting this thread of the month on time. If you want to know these, I'll post them as a status update later tomorrow. I'll not bore you with the details here. But let's do what we do each month: highlight the threads the KSP community has felt deserve recognition! Instructions on using the TOTM images: If your thread has been selected as a TOTM, you can copy the image's link above, go to the area of the forum you want to place it, then paste the link. Press the <CONTROL> button when the image appears and right-click on your mouse. A menu will drop down and allow you to edit the picture. You can resize it - the first number can be changed as large or small as you want. Eventually, I will add these images to the thread I've created as a repository. For those out there who like the nerdy parts of the TOTM: To continue what I started in May 2021, I have kept some forum statistics to respond to those claiming the forum was dying. In May, there were 336 new forum accounts (a decrease of 165, or down 32.93% from April). Out of the new forum members that joined last month, there were 25 who transitioned from new accounts to being active and participating in the forum. This conversion means 7.44% of the new users who registered their accounts last month are now contributing members of our community! (This is an increase from April; 4.79% of the new members became active and contributing members). If you’re interested in seeing the new members of our forum, you can click here! Now, without further delay, I present to you the threads of the month for June: Fan-fiction, Mission Reports, and Kerbal Space Program-inspired Creative Works: This category features a thread (or threads) that, while not directly Kerbal Space Program related, it may be a creative work, fan-fiction, or other presentation related to the game. There were no nominations for this category for this month. Forum Member Created Challenges and Missions: This category contains missions and challenges created by you, the members of our gaming community. Many excellent missions and challenges threads are created that expand our fun with the game and press our skills, creativity, and sometimes, luck beyond what we get accustomed to. Let’s face it, we all have our go-to design basics and our go-to vehicles we like to use. Sometimes, a good challenge can cause us to think of another way to achieve our goals. This month's Threads of the Month features a challenge that can only be completed in Kerbal Space Program 2! In this challenge, "Fly through the KSC Parking Garage" by @Bingmao, if you really want to try your piloting skills and your favorite KSP2 atmospheric craft, this is the challenge for you! Bingmao describes this unique challenge as: Sounds easy enough, right? WRONG! I'd strongly warn against attempting this challenge if your allergies are in full sneeze mode, if you have cats in the room, or if there are children present. I've learned that any wrong move at 207 m/s always ends in disaster. Always. And with each explosion, there's been new frustration, new laughter, and even more determination to get it right! And to keep you on your toes, there are three variations on this challenge, but you'll have to visit the OP to learn about them! Game Support/Game Mod of the Month: This category features either help with the game (stock or modded) or mods that add quality-of-life gameplay improvements to Kerbal Space Program. Although Kerbal Space Program has been out for over twelve years, those who love this game will admit there are still some areas where the game still needs a little love. If we are honest with ourselves, there's never been a "perfect" game. However, thanks to the easiness of modding KSP and our wonderful modding community, much progress is still being made in perfecting this game. This is one of the reasons I always tell folks in other threads I believe the original KSP will have a very long shelf life. The nomination for this category for the original KSP is for the mod by @Gotmachine. The mod, "[1.8 - 1.12] KSPCommunityFixes - Bugfixes and QoL tweaks," is described as follows: I have over 100 mods in my 1.12 game, including Scatterrer, Kopernicus, TextureReplacer, and SVE (sorry, I do not use TweakScale), and I have had no compatibility issues with this mod. If you are looking for help with the performance of the original KSP on your (older but not quite a potato) computer, try this mod! KSP2 history is being made here, folks! Our first nomination and award for the thread of the month for a mod for Kerbal Space Program 2 comes from @Untoldwind and is called "Release Kontrol System2 (0.3.1). Its creator describes it as: As mentioned in a previous TOTM, I usually download mods and try the challenge threads as they are nominated. However, I've decided not to download any mods for KSP2 until the game is more stable (or closer to 1.0) before I install mods. However, I know how much fun kOS is in the original Kerbal Space Program and can only imagine the possibilities it will bring to this latest franchise installment. So, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try something new in KSP2, why not try this mod and give @Untoldwind some mod feedback? General community threads of the month: This category features a thread that adds to the community and doesn’t fit the game support/game mod categories. Wow, there's not much better than this. It's Lego. It's Kerbal. It's the idea for a Lego Kerbal Space Program! As someone with the Apollo 11 Moon Lander, the Saturn V, three different Lego shuttle sets, and the older ISS Lego set (7467), I will gladly say, "Shut up and take my money" if I ever saw a KSP Lego set offered at the Lego Store! So, when this thread was nominated, maybe it was my personal love of Lego or the sheer awesomeness of the accompanying video presentation... The thread, "Lego Kerbal Space Program - Lego Ideas Fan Trailer," is introduced by @Sam67c_3D as: If you want to see the cinematic or see what the response has been to the idea, take a moment and visit the thread! Cinematic-based Fan-fiction, Mission Reports, and Kerbal Space Program-inspired Creative Works: This category features a video or other form of cinematic of a Kerbal mission report using in-game video recorded gameplay. Note: This has changed. Instead of awarding this to a thread, this is a *post of the month* since most new cinematic works are posted in a single thread. We have a lot of great content creators, but because they've been posting their mission reports as videos in a single thread, most of their work goes unnoticed by the general forum audience. Hopefully, this change in the category to a Post of the Month (POTM) will highlight the great work done by these deserving content creators. Other threads containing cinematic posts will also be featured in this category. Yes, folks, that's right. An overhauled image just for the cinematic posts! There are a lot of great content creators who are deserving of this recognition since we were made aware of the thread, Post Your Cinematics Here! (Cinematic Enthusiasts) by @HatBat. Although the thread did receive TOTM previously, it was felt that it wasn't enough for those who have shared your great creations featuring our favorite Kerbalnauts. Instead of being a TOTM, I've changed it into a CPOTM - a Cinematic Post of the Month. For this month's CPOTM, we'd like to recognize the work of @Socraticat in their cinematic, "Duna Birb: Interplanetary Tutorial (KSP2)," found here: Sometimes the forum software will get glitchy, and an exact post may be a little hard to find, especially when it is buried in a long thread. In case this happens, here's @Socraticat's cinematic presentation: If you encounter other cinematics you feel are worthy of being recognized as this category’s post of the month; please nominate them! You can use the exact instructions to nominate a post containing a video as you would use to nominate a thread. Honorable mentions: Sometimes it’s challenging to choose which threads will be selected as the Thread of the Month for our five categories. We get many good nominations each month but limit it to one for each type. Threads nominated but not selected as a thread of the month become honorable mentions. The honorable mentions for this month are: [1.9.x - 1.12.5] [5/31/2023] - Ahum² Planet Pack by @smushanoob [1.12.5] IO Assorted Mods & Configs by @Iodyne The honorable mentions for this month may not have made the Thread of The Month, but if you think they might be worthy of another opportunity, please renominate it! Congratulations to all the winners of the Thread of the Month! We want to thank our forum members, @Camptaine, @idkgeek, @Jason Kerman, @KawaiiLucy, @Superfluous J, and the members of the moderation team and staff who nominated this month’s contenders. Thank you so much for helping us identify noteworthy threads and bringing their awareness to our forum community. We’d appreciate your continued help in the future. Odds and ends: TO NOMINATE A THREAD FOR CONSIDERATION: If you find a thread you feel should be considered for next month’s thread of the month, then use the “report comment” feature (the three dots on the upper right corner of the comment box) to report the comment. Please put in the text field of the report post “Nomination for the thread of the month,” and we will do the rest! You can always nominate more than one thread, too. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOES INTO THE DECISION WHEN CONSIDERING THE TOTM: Wonder no more! This helpful guide is to help you understand what we use to help determine what makes a thread a really good thread and one that becomes a thread of the month/cinematic post of the month winner. It’s everything you want or didn’t want to know and includes helpful tips. And the last word for this post: I’d like to thank a few people who trust me enough to continue supporting and allowing me to contribute to the forum. I want to thank the Lead Moderator, @Vanamonde, for bringing me on as a moderator, a decision I’m sure has had moments where he often wonders why he did it. I’d also like to thank @Ghostii_Space and @PD_Dakota, our community managers, and @Nerdy_Mike, the KSP Franchise Community Lead, for tolerating me and allowing me to continue to serve our Kerbal Space Program forum community through the monthly Threads of the Month post.

A cupholder for my gaming chair - available through the IG store, of course!

And this is why we want the capybaras back. They were less troublesome than hampsters. If we cannot have them in the game, maybe we can let 'em dominate the forum.

Maybe it's not pure water, as we initially expected it to be? Just tossing out an idea. I remember this conversation when KSP (original) was at 0.90 (Beta than ever).
