This is a modification of Real Solar System for KSP 1.8.1, swaping Earth and Mars making the launch site on Mars. Currently there's 6 launch sites: Valles Marineris, Aurorae Chaos, Chryse Planitia, Olympus Mons, Hellas Basin and Utopia Basin. Contract system of RP-0 is all changed to deal with this modification. As you start, sounding rocket contracts give you more money to accelerate the progress to go to orbit, lunar exploration contracts are now Phobos and Deimos exploration contracts, there are new Ceres and Vesta crewed exploration contracts and some more things. This is for people that are seeking new things to do in the game, launching from Mars is relatively easy, but landing back on it is a bit trickyer and in a lot of cases requires more then just parachutes. Note that i'm doing this solo and basicaly just for fun, so maybe there's a few things wrong in the mod pack that i didn't noticed yet. Instalation is pretty easy, instructions are in the doc in the zip file.

Human exploration contracts are now divided in Human Exploration of Inner Solar System, Human Exploration of Outer Solar System and Human Exploration of Asteroids

Module Manager is a pretty useful mod for practically managing mods, basically, in sarbian's words: "is mod that let you write patch file that edit other part at load time. With is you can edit squad (and other mod) part without overwriting their file." Now, again, this will mostly be for Windows. Step 1: Go to this link, and scroll down slowly to where it will say "Downloads:" And it should look like this. Link: Step 2: Find your KSP version, the latest version is pretty much 1.10, and I have that version. So I would go underneath it and click on either the zip, or dll. I do not know the differences between them but I just did zip. Step 3: When it downloads, open the location in your files. Find the zip or dll, and open it. Step 4: Now when you open it, you should see a README and a dll. Click the dll and get the GameData folder up. Now, drag the dll into the GameData folder. Step 5: Put the Module Manager dll into the GameData folder, make sure its not in any of the files inside the GameData folder. Step 6: You may now rerun KSP. If anything went wrong or didn't go as planned, please let me know so I can help you out with your problem.

Hi, I'm new to KSP and I looked at CKAN and realised that there are a LOT of mods. Is there anywhere with a general comprehensive guide to popular mods or mod groups that work well together or what mods does anyone recommend. (Like Tech, Visual, FPS and other optimizations, QOL, Planets, et cetra) Thanks, magicoman

I have around 650 hours in ksp. both dlcs, but no mods. my computer is a MacBook Air which I don't know how well it would handle any mods that have major effects on any part of the computer. I want some cool mods that would spice up the ksp1 experience without strain on my computer, while still staying "stockalike". preferably anything that helps graphics that won't cause my computer to explode, space station parts, planetary base parts, maybe even a mod that makes Kerbals more like humans in that they need to do human things like eat and sleep and walk around. even if I didn't list it, If you know a mod that's cool and not too far from the base game , please share. apologies for the horrendously formed sentences.

its not on the ckan, spacedock or even google. im starting to get getting concerned

Hello guys, I'm currently building some Planes but i actually want to use those on our Planet. Is there any mod that provides the Real earth with Ground Graphics and landing sides for Airports around the world? Also if there's some mod that adds Real buildings form Google Maps as example that would be so cool, but just a realistic Earth would be enough. Thanks

Why I ask other than CKAN is because I got a bug that caused CKAN just to malfunction completely. After uninstalling some of the mods on CKAN because they either collided with other mods or just made the game completely unplayable, caused the entire thing to just go kaput. (I tried to fix it, just nothing I did didn't work.) Extra things to check for; 1. Is the app/website viable with good moderation? 2. Is it easy to use (e.g. automatically puts the mods into the correct folder for you and doesn't have too many bugs that make the thing unusable)? 3. Does it overall have good enough with a decently sized amount of mods? I hope this isn't too much to ask for, of course it doesn't HAVE to tick all of those boxes, I just want a reliable and efficient mod website or app to use. Thanks in advance, if anyone sees this.

I want to get into career mode modding and am looking for some mods. The types of mods I want are: Better plane parts (Mk1, Mk2, Mk3) Better SSTO and rocket engines Better ion and nuclear engines New fuel types New career mission types New science tools Better colony and space station parts Better optimization (for a potato PC) Better tech tree I don't want any visual mods. Should I use TURD or Lazy Paint for coloring? Can you guys help? I'm new to modding.

Downloaded a LOT of mods, but I never went interplanetary (and interstellar too). So, what mods are capable of having OPM (If not, ok)?

That Other Space Race A modded KSP race to the stars in a 2.5x scale system. I, along with a number of fellows from the excellent discord server That Other Server² will be competing with one another to explore the solar system with the final milestone being settling Laythe. Guided by the Career Evolution Contract Pack (as outdated as it is) we will have a series of milestones to complete, leading up to last goal, which is to build a base on laythe, which is then capable of constructing and launching a vessel that can take its crew to Kerbin. The mods we're using are as follows: Our competing space programs are as follows: [TBD, people need to get them together] If you'd like to join with your own space program, then go ahead! I'll add your program to the OP. Let the best space program win!

Does anyone know if the way science definitions are processed in KSP has changed in recent versions? I'm asking because some planet mods, like Extrasolar and RSS, at least in my computer, don't show their customized science definitions, and they definitely were working properly in much older versions. The strange thing is, some mods' definitions, like OPM, work perfectly. Maybe they were updated and the others weren't? Has anyone else been having this issue? I'm using version 1.12.5 by the way!

I've installed BDB on my computer and it works pretty well, exept for an issue with the interiors of the capsules: some parts of the interiors like the white demarcation lines between buttons and switches in the MLEM as well as the speed green display keep flickering and flashing, appearing and disappearing quickly. Does somebody know how to fix it?

Launch Pad is a CKAN Client written for macOS. It allows you to download and install mods for Kerbal Space Program, including dependencies. If you play KSP on a Mac, and find it hard to use the official CKAN application using monodevelop, give Launch Pad a try! The app is still being developed, so while you can install most mods with it, you can't upgrade them right now. The app uses the original CKAN Metadata Repository, so all mods that are available on CKAN are also available in here. I'd LOVE for some adventurous Mac users to try it out and leave feedback though. More Information on GitHub Download the latest Alpha Version Submit Bugs and Feature Request Before trying out Launch Pad, I'd recommend creating a backup of your KSP directory, simply because it's still alpha software. If you have any question regarding how to install and use the app, please feel free to ask

I tried to create a planet with Kopernicus, but the planet seems to be completely black and invisible. Config below:

I have noticed a great gaping hole in the KSP modding community. We have a devastating lack of Optimization Mods, for players like myself who have lower end PCs, KSP can be more like a slideshow than a game. What I am looking for is a mode that does for KSP, what Optifine did for Minecraft. Does anyone know of any mods for 1.4 or newer that do this or any projects that are working to build a mod like this? Cheers!

UKSA Challenge "All these worlds are Ours." I've always dreamed of this challenge, this ultimate goal of having at least one orbital and surface "Colony" on every planet and moon in the Kerbolar System, and then taking that to steps even farther beyond with life support, construction, shipyards, and even adding in OPM to truly push the boundaries of "Challenge" in KSP 1. So, here I am, sharing this with you all to see what you think. The Mission: Expand Kerbalkind's influence to the whole of the Kerbolar System and make the Kerbals a Multiplanetary Species that has exploited the resources of their entire home Solar System, Kerbol. Challenge Goals * One Orbital Colony per Celestial * One Surface Colony per Celestial Challenge Ruleset (Base) * SP / MP / Sharing: The "Default" setting for this challenge is a "Single Player" experience to push your knowledge of KSP, and of mods, to achieve a grand goal. If you'd like to share and go MP with it however, feel free to do so, you need only state that you've chosen to play MP with or without Save Sharing. in any posts. * FTL : Disallowed (See Difficulty Modes for Exceptions) * OPM: Required (See Difficulty Modes for Exceptions) * Life Support: Required (See Difficulty Modes for Exceptions) * Game Mode: Career Mode / Medium Difficulty or Higher (See Difficulty Modes for Exceptions) * Interstellar End Game: Special Rule - (See Difficulty Modes for Exceptions) * Ironman (No Kerbal Respawns): Optional * Mod List: Required - You must include the mods you're using in any post sharing your progression of this challenge. (Feel free to truncate the list of mods and make sure to spoiler the list in any posts.) * MODS USED MUST BE PUBLIC: Any mod you use must be available to the KSP community publicly. * Colony Guidelines: To Count, a "Colony" must be a "Base" that is either an Orbital or Surface Installation that has life support for at least 20 or more Kerbals. (seats in "Command" Parts do not count.) * Outposts: Outposts may be surface or orbital installations that are focused on logistics and operations and may be entirely automated. These could be "gas stations" or other facilities like "surface labs" for science gathering. Achievements Achievement: To Go Even Further Beyond - Swap out the Stock Solar System for KSRSS, A Rescale Mod of your Choice, or "Real Solar System." Achievement: Articles of Colonization - All your Colonies are entirely Self Sufficient Achievement: Harbor Grand Master - Build at least two fully operational Ship Yards that can produce vehicles in space using any mods of your choosing. Achievement: Colonial Fleet Command - Have at least one "Ship" in orbit of every planet. (Check Quote for Guidelines) Achievement: In a Galaxy Far Far Away - Swap the Stock+OPM system requirement with another planet pack + expansion if needed. The replacement system must have more than 20 celestials in total. (Check Quote for Guidelines) Achievement: Three Sisters - Colonize the Stock System with OPM as well as GPP Secondary and GEP (This pack turns Kerbol in to a Trinary Star System and removes the need for a /True Interstellar/ Mod.) Difficulty Options (For those that want to partake but have a more tailored experience with the challenge. Difficulty mode chosen must be stated when undertaking the challenge.) Very Easy * FTL: Allowed * Game Modes: Any / Sandbox Allowed * Life Support: Not Required * OPM: Not required * Kerbals in Command Parts Count towards Colony Size Easy * FTL: Allowed * Game Modes: Science or Career Mode On Easy * Life Support; Required (Suggested LS Mods for Easy: Snacks, USI Life Support) * OPM: Not Required Medium * FTL: Disallowed * Game Modes: Science or Career Mode On Medium * Life Support; Required (Suggested LS Mods for Medium: TAC-LS) * OPM: Required Hard * FTL: Disallowed * Game Modes: Career Mode On Hard or Science Mode Equivalent * Life Support; Required (Suggested LS Mods for Hard: TAC-LS)) * OPM: Required Very Hard * As Hard Mode + Add in at least one other Solar System and have at least one Surface and Orbital Colony in that system. How to Share Progress Please feel free to share screenshots, videos, and "blogs" / updates ni this thread of your progress if you choose to undertake this Challenge. Mod Suggestions: WIP Special Thanks: @JadeOfMaarFor feedback, support, and guidance. Also, for tolerating me talking about this challenge way to much... >.>

Ok. So. I’ve been browsing mods since I restarted playing KSP, and I’ve found two similar mods, both of which seem interesting. The first one is Luciole by @Well. The second one is Dodo labs by @tygoo7. Please vote in the poll which you like better overall. P.S. just saying, I know someone is going to ask why I can’t just download both. There are two reasons: 1. Loading times (yes I know, I’ve only mentioned it a million times) 2. They are similar mods, both designed for small rockets. Also, I mean no offense to either of these devs, I’m just curious

So i want to create a new mod but i dont have much experience so if you want help me email me: [email protected] ¡PLEASE HELP ME :)!

I've used KER and other mods quality-of-life mods for KSP for a longer time now since they make the game so much more enjoyable, but I can't find any analogues to them in KSP 2. Does anybody know any? Help appreciated!

I am a fairly new player in RSS/RO and RP-1. I have downloaded the mod CH4 from GitHub and manually dragged it into my GameData folder. I am encountering quite a few problems with getting all of the engines to appear in my VAB for some reason. A few examples of these engines are the AdvancedOTV engine, the Merlin2 engine, and I could go on. Only a few of the engines seem to be appearing in my VAB, for example, the E2 Vac and the E2, and I do not understand why the other engines don't register or appear. Any ideas of why this could be the case and how to fix this issue? Thanks to anyone in advance.

Do you want more of a challenge for planes? Then this mod is for you! It will eventually include staying at a certain altitude for a certain amount of time (like 1 hour) and flying all around Kerbin. Current Contracts: Stay above 3000 meters for 30 minutes. Requires Contract Configurator I highly recommend Planes with Purposes and Kerbin Side Remastered GAP for less difficult contracts. Those mods inspired me to make this. Download from: GitHub SpaceDock CKAN License is MIT.

Hello everyone I used to have this mod, but years later I wanted to get back to business. As a result, I don't remember the name of the mod, I really need it for airplanes. I will be very grateful for your help)
