Hey everyone. I've been playing KSP since, like, 2013. It is such a good game with lots of replay ability, thanks to mods. I've always been a fan of realism, or near future science fiction, which is why most of the mods that I used to use revolved around managing real world phenomena, from radiation to food with kerbalism. When KSP2 was announced, I was excited to see what additions and more customizability they would add to this game. Sadly, it seems that game has died, and there won't be any new updates to KSP1. However, now that KSP1 is in its final state, I figured now would be the right time to figure out how to mod this game. I had an idea for an overhaul, focusing on the management of a space agency, working with kerbal governments, laws, social events, resource management for parts ect. Basically, realism with a larger scale. I'm currently using ChatGPT and articles I've found on modding to figure out how to do specific things, but I figure I should probably ask about this stuff, which I never seen done before in a mod. Here are my questions: 1) Is there a way to create my own menus, like the science/research tech tree menu, the contract menu, or the administrations menu? I would like to overhaul those visuals, but don't know how to do it, or if its possible. 2) Is there a way to add visual meshes to the world, like trees or those monuments, for the sake of buildings, infrastructure, ect? Basically, is there a way to show kerbal civilization in the world? 3) I know there are ways to move the KSC to other planets, but it always looks weird in the mods I've seen. Is there a way to either edit the KSC view, or create a new menu system for navigating buildings for multiple stations/ multiple planets? 4) For stats regarding individual kerbals, is there a way to store more data for each of them? For example, physiological traits, radiation exposure, psychological traits, social traits, ect? Would I need to build a custom wrapper that logs each kerbal's name and apply my own system to them to store that extra data, or is there a system in place for adding custom data/tags to kerbal profiles? 5) Is there a way to procedurally/dynamically change variables about planets? Atmospheric composition, height, density, ect? I know Kopernicus allows for editing plant stats at launch, but I don't know if you can edit it on the fly. This would be for terraforming. 6) Background automation, decision making, and planning? Is there an easy way to simulate vessels and what happens on them, allowing orbital dynamics and resource levels, to change while out of flight? Or would I also need to create a wrapper for each vehicle, and create my own code for simulating those things, and apply that data when the vessel loads again?

Ever wonder that the science system in KSP is way too easy? Getting way too much science biome hopping on Minmus? Well, now you do not have to worry about that anymore! With this mod, you will actually have to explore the system! Science Labs are now for transmitting the full amount of science you would get on recovery, Biome hopping is non existent, the barometer does not work in space and more! This mod is still very early in development, so feedback would be appreciated! Download here: https://spacedock.info/mod/3674/Dan's Science Overhaul#info

The year is 9302. The Mun has been impacted by a huge asteroid and Kerbin is flooded. Begin on an evolved Kerbin. Its continents have moved, its mountains and topography vary drastically. Set many millenia after the Kerbals first took to space, the general culture of former 'Kerbin' has changed drastically. Because of this change, the planet is significantly different - it's known as Gaia and all interplanetary voyages are strictly forbidden by the global government - You must convince them to fly once more. The entire planetary system has overcome a drastic change. A near miss with another star has caused many planets and moons to be captured by Kerbol. Your adventure awaits; take to the stars once more and prove that the eagerly awaiting space-faring Kerbals still have a future. This mod adds more planets and moons to land on whilst keeping the stock feel to the game. I have revisited the entire Kerbin system and added a bit more variation to the different planets and moons, making you feel the joy of exploring them once again.

I'm back again with a new mod! This one updates the lonely Eeloo!! It adds and changes some things so let me show you!! It adds 2 new Moons to Eeloo! The bigger one is Navel and the smaller one is named Netis!! Navel Netis Netis is farther out but is smaller so it may be a bit harder to get to but I believe in you!! Navel is closer to Eeloo which seems to have slowed Eeloo's rotation down which means they always face each other! So you may want to land in the right spot to see Navel in the sky! But while looking up you can get a good look at the new atmosphere for Eeloo!! It is rather thin but still noticeable! (It does have scatterer support as well! :DD) But that is what it adds, Also with a slightly changed texture map for Eeloo!! I hope you enjoy it and please be safe everyone!! :DD It has compatibility with: Scatterer EVE Planet Shine Distant Object Enhancement Parallax SpaceDock Link!! https://spacedock.info/mod/3468/Revamped Eeloo!

Right, so I can't get any engine plumes in my modded KSP 1.2 install which I have kept for realism overhaul with real solar system. So basically, there's no engine smoke/exhaust or plume and that's pretty much it. I hope someone can guide me on what I need to make them work. I first had RealPlume put in my Gamedata folder and then I tried putting the realplume configs in the Realism Overhaul folder into the Gamedata folder itself with no luck. Also I do have smokescreen installed and I have also tried keeping the RealPlume_stockconfig something folder in Gamedata as well. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me exactly which folders I need and where for this to work as I'm really confused. Feel free to ask me for any ingame screenshots or my Gamedata directory if you need to. EDIT: its version 1.1.3, not 1.2

I was just wondering which style of KSP gameplay the community prefers: stock or realistic . Personal, I like playing in Realism Overhaul because of the challenge. But with stock, you can go crazy and create truly kerbal machines. What is you all's choice and why? Edit: Sorry guys for any misunderstanding, I forgot the Overhaul part of the title I'll be making an edit to the title. Edit: Just realized that I can't edit the title. I really should stop speed typing Edit: I just wanted to say that I'm not trying to see which style is superior to the other, but to see the pros and cons of each style.

Hello everyone! I have decided to start a long term project of adding parts to RP-0 and creating RO patches. I will update this thread as I edit and add new files. Any feedback on RP-0 pricing or tips you can give me is welcomed! I know there is an RP-0 Part Configuration tool however, I like the idea of using MM patches so it will allow people to run a stock setup if they please and/or remove parts from the patch if they want to. As parts are updated the filenames will reflect the version and date so if you want to rollback you can. If you like the part and want to add it to the Configuration Parts App before I do please do just make sure you post in this thread so I can check it off the list. All of these patches were created and tested on KSP 1.8.1, RO 12.8.1, and RP-0 1.7. Releases: 01/18/2021: AJE, AJEE, Aviation Light, and B9 Aerospace Engines (B9 Aero is a WIP). 01/25/2021: MK-33, USI Exploration (Airbags and Floats), EDB/Raiz Space In Progress: RP-0: B9 Aerospace, Near Future Construction, random engines, and structural parts (un-fueled). RO: B9 Aerospace Instructions: Download the files at the following link and add to your GameData folder. I recommend creating a new folder called /000_RP0_RO_Patches and copying the files there in order to keep things nice and organized. DOWNLOAD HERE Note: No original files have been modified, removed, renamed, or moved from their original location. All released files are MM patches. If you are the original creator of any mod listed and would like to add my patches to your release(s) or you would like to edit/redistribute these patches; feel free to do so just give me a shoutout!

NEW THREAD!

Development Thread for Ramesses System Overhaul (RSO) What is RSO? As the name suggests, the mod will replace all of the planets and add a bit more. RSO will be situated around a K-type star which is orbited by 14 planets (3 minor), with an early L-type orbited by 5 planets. All of which are listed below The Planets Ra System Seker System Pics Click for Imgur album Keep in mind that this mod is still a work in progress and will not be uploaded until I feel like it's ready for release.

Ah, the Skipper! What a nice looking engine... But does it need an overhaul? or should we leave it alone? that is up to you to decide. I vow to have it be unchanged, and that other parts should base their design on this, but that is my opinion. Do you have any thoughts?

Introduction "Kerbal Mods Overhaul" (KMO) is nothing more than a set of patches initially made to cope with the personal desire to simplify/modify a number of very popular mods, MKS in primis, in order to bring a slightly different gameplay experience to KSP. KMO has initially been made exclusively for myself, however, since the number of patches has greatly increased over the time, I have eventually decided to make a public release of this mods overhaul for anyone that may be interested in such a reconfiguration work. Disclaimer This mod is NOT an updated version of MKS-LITE, it should rather be seen as a new gameplay experience for standard MKS (and related mods) with fewer resources, a simplified production-chain, changed part functionalities and full support for ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads resources, production chain, Survey Stations and Workshops. Thus, this mod is NOT a tutorial mod for MKS beginners (that was the main purpose of MKS-Lite). If you just want to play an easier version of MKS in order to get your hands dirty and get to understand some basic mechanics, RoverDude has already implemented an optional patch that allows you to disable the requirement for machinery and get a gameplay experience closer to the one provided by MKS-Lite. In addition to that, this mod does not include any part, asset, config file or anything else from any other mod. Kerbal Mods Overhaul (KMO) is currently WIP. Patches and Changes I would like to make this mod as much configurable as possible, thus, I will try to add any suggestion/request into a patch, either optional or not. Please, ask for patches for supported mods only (see below). You may also ask me to create a patch for stock parts, however, the changes have to be related in some ways to the mods reconfigured by KMO. This is a non-exhaustive list of the main patches and changes applied by KMO (v0.4): You can opt-in or out some patches in order to get a personalized gameplay experience in accordance with your personal taste (PatchManager required). See the individual .cfg files if you want to know more about the part specific overhaul. Example of a fully self-sufficient planetary base below in Spoiler. You can see how the colonization parts have been reconfigured and appreciate the new gameplay design, which allows you to create smaller and easier-to-run bases. Supported Mods Below you can find core and optional mods supported by KMO. Core mods are the ones for which my reconfiguration work has initially been made for and so they have the biggest amount of patches available. Optional mods nicely complete the gameplay experience (you should NOT install them ONLY if you have some serious RAM/hardware issues). Core mods: Modular Kolonization System (MKS) made by RoverDude USI Life Support (USI-LS) made by RoverDude ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads (EL) made by skykooler and taniwha PatchManager made by linuxgurugamer (you need it in order to enable/disable optional patches) Optional mods: OSE Workshop (KIS Addon) made by ObiVanDamme and Aelfhe1m* KeridianDynamics Vessel Assembly made by EleusisLaArwall *If you install this mod, also consider installing Kerbal Attachment System (KAS) and Kerbal Inventory System (KIS), both made by KospY, winn75 and IgorZ. Notice: Always Remember to install all dependencies for the mods you use! Installation You can either: Download KMO from Spacedock and then copy and paste the content of GameData into your KSP GameData folder. OR, Download it directly from CKAN! Notice: This mod includes version checking using MiniAVC. If you opt-in, it will use the internet to check whether there is a new version available. Data is only read from the internet and no personal information is sent. For a more comprehensive version checking experience, please download the KSP-AVC Plugin. Notice 2: The latest version of KMO (v0.4.1) works only in KSP 1.4+ and with EL 6.0+ installed.

Good morning everyone. I'm a longtime player and fan of Kerbal Space Program (even if I've been far more active in the Discord than this forum), and have long admired the work that Squad has done to make this wonderful game, and been astonished by the powerful and incredible efforts of modders to make this game truly beautiful. There are mods that do just about everything, from airplanes, to mecha, to other star systems. There's one thing that feels left out of all this. One thing that should be important, but feels perpetually neglected. The planet Kerbin. I feel like this is a mistake. Kerbin is the Earth-equivalent of the Kerbol system. I feel that it should be the very first place of exploration, as the Kerbal species makes its first baby-steps towards the Mun. Right now, though, there just isn't much to explore that isn't a stone's throw from the Kerbal Space Center. I'd like to fix that. This mod project has the following goals: One: More and more regional Kerbin biomes. This should encourage exploration far from the KSC, flying to other continents and the far side of Kerbin. Why fly far away if there isn't science to be done out there? A grasslands biome is the same in every part of Kerbin, but can it be said that the African savannah, the Midwestern prairie, and the Kazakh steppe are truly all the same? Is a tropical rainforest in Thailand the same as in Brazil, or the Congo? Of course not. Two: Cities and city microbiomes scattered across Kerbin. Right now, Kerbin, the only planet on which life is known to exist, feels fairly dead. The Kerbal Space Center, the island airfield, and a few launch pads scattered across the planet are the only signs of intelligent life-- or, well, whatever Kerbals are. I'd like to see more in the way of wild flora, habitation, and obstacles that reward precision in landing as well as in launching. Three: More interesting landmarks to discover and visit, with associated microbiomes like the KSC has. Easter eggs scattered across the planet, with science rewards for finding them. Maybe with a somewhat randomized exact location so that some searching and aerial recon is required, to make aircraft even more useful. Kerbin feels boring-- and I don't think it should! Four: Underwater biomes and science below Kerbin's oceans and other planets with water in the Kerbol system. Wouldn't it be an interesting project to launch a submarine to explore the depths of Laythe to do science at the bottom of its oceans? Wouldn't it be exciting to discover and do science in a barrier reef, or a mid-ocean rift, or a deep ocean trench? Five: An optional, slightly reworked tech tree that locks rocketry behind science requirements in Science and Career mode, and makes allowances for early aviation, to further encourage exploration of Kerbin before venturing to the Mun. Six: Compatibility with Sandbox, Science Mode, Career Mode, and other mods, especially ScanSAT, submarine part mods, and Firespitter. If you've read all of this so far, thank you. I really appreciate your interest. I can't do this alone; while I brim with enthusiasm, I lack the know-how to make a mod on my own. If anyone is available to be a mentor, a tutor, please contact me; I would be in your absolute debt for any teaching you could provide.

This mod is currently an idea, a couple of WIP configs, and 1 WIP corona texture. It doesn't even have a name yet, but I'm asking @SamBelanger to make a texture for the home planet. I will likely have the rest of the textures procedurally generated, but right now, it's not much. Hopefully, this will have a giant red star for the sun, massive enough to become a supernova. Your homeworld will be mostly desert, with green only in the coldest places on it. The Homeworld's name: Kirothoum. @SamBelanger has come through, and has given me a texture that works.

Hi Guys,I decided to make a new wishlist as a master thread that has my own complete wishlist of new parts and some new features. I know a lot of these have probably been requested by many other players, but I thought it would be a good idea to showcase them all in one place. Feel free to add your own ideas below. Barely any of these are major things that definitely need to be added, I'm simply thinking everything I myself can think of that I'd personally like.Most, if not all of these can be solved with mods. However, I think some of these would be a very nice to have added the base game. Problem though, having all these parts may have an impact on the design simplicity of KSP, like I said most of the items on this list are by no means crucially important things to add and this will end up probably adding absolutely tonnes of not hundreds of parts (unless they be made procedural or tweakable). I know some of these are badly explained, I will try and make these more concise. Now do I start with the biggest one first and get it out of the way or do I leave it till the end... Oh well, better prepare thy selves this is gonna be huge, prepare for death by words (I do apologise): [all measurements are in metres] Structural parts overhaul, this one is quite extensive. I'll start with the I-Beams - currently they have quite an awkward size in terms of length - for me it's be great if they were redesigned keeping the 0.2x0.2 cross-section but having lengths of say 1, 2 and even 0.5m maybe even 1.25, 2.5 and 3.75m even procedural. It would be great if these had a tweakable so that they can be changed from an I-Beam, to say a hollow cylindrical tube or a tube with a square cross-section, it would also be great if their material could be changed from the metal (presumably steel/titanium) to the material found with aero parts (these should change their density and thus bouyancy, the metal should naturally sink whereas the aero material (presumably a composite material) should be excessively buoyant and should probably have lower impact and thermal tolerances. For structural panels I'd like to keep the existing ones but again, maybe add the tweakable material for them, besides that for me a 0.5x1 and a 0.5x0.5 would be good. The other thing I'd like to add are different shapes and configurations of structural panels, again these could be made procedural and have tweakables. The shapes I'd like to see are triangles (both right-angled and equilateral), hexagons, octagons and circles, conveniently sized to match structural panels and the radial size form factors. Back onto the tweakables for structural panels, I think it would be nice if there were windowed versions, either versions that are just plain windows or have windows embedded in them. All for the sake of allowing over-engineering of crafts to make them look more perfect. Better tweakables for changing the amount of fuel/authority limiters etc - I'd like to be able to double click the number by the slider and input a value in just to save the frustration of precisely moving the slider (which is still good for larger increments), sometimes it can be frustrating when it won't go to 0 and you have to go hunting in craft config files. Also, when I remove fuel in the editor I'd like this to be able physically change the maximum amount of fuel the vehicle can take, so when I fly it the fuel bar doesn't start partially empty - it should redefine the maximum fuel a vehicle can take (obviously make this an option, so players can start with reduced fuel loads and then top up to max as well as doing what I just described). A new set of aero engines, specifically electric propellers, I propose versions like the ducted fans seen on the Avatar helicopters, ducted fans like on most modern airships and ones styled like commonplace EDFs in RC models. These should have versions that are radially and attached via nodes where applicable and come to suite all current form factors, they should also have tweakables to define blade types (either like a conventional propeller, scimitar blades, or more gas turbine blade like), number of blades from 2 and onwards (similar to the fairings) and to have the duct or not. There should be an inline version as well with a rotor with blades lining it's circumference. The blades on most versions should be reversible allowing for reverse thrust, These should be adequate for both conventional and VTOL aircraft as well as watercraft. More wing parts, mainly for 0.625m parts with smaller wings and smaller control surfaces (I'm a big fan of gliding probes, but I can also see them being used for... other purposes). A 0.625m SRB that can be attached radially and inline (basically scaled down RT-5 or RT-10). Node-attached inline version of sepratron 1 with identical performance Omni-directional lights in 3 sizes A retractable version of the Pegasus 1 Functional pre-cooler (acts like a radiator - if it doesn't already) Rangefinder and camera/telescope science parts, for finding above ground level altitudes. Range should go from say 0-10km maybe more for slightly larger versions or whatever is more suitable. Stabilising landing legs, so that for example if you land on a hill, the legs will automatically extend/retract telescopically so that the thing they're supporting remains level - useful for the foundations of structures and bases. Tank steering options for wheels and if possible tracked wheels A permanent docking connector, should be as strong as connecting parts normally in the editor, isn't able to be decoupled, useful for orbital construction, should be shaped like the current 2.5m docking port but with smaller sizes (could be a tweakable option on current parts). Square solar panels and radiators, as well as flat radiators, new solar panels that conform to structural panels (don't replace existing, they're good for mounting around the current cylindrical tanks etc). 1.25m and 2.5m cargo bays and taller service bays. Horizontal and Vertical versions of the hitchhiker storage container and mobile processing unit (at the moment, they're aligned vertically with circular floors) I propose another version that's aligned horizontally, the external model won't change, but the IVA will - just because at the moment having them vertically orientated means they're at a different orientation to the command pods except the lander-cans Another Kerbal seat that doesn't have control functionality plus the ability to add Kerbals into seats from the editor. Another RCS system that uses compressed air from jet engines/APUs instead of mono-propellant Reworked cockpit IVAs (I'm looking at the non-functional MFDs here). Stock bearing parts (they are possible with current stock parts but it would be good if we could get a part as stock). These really don't need to be motorised because we already have good possibilities for actuation, though I imagine a motorised version is desirable for robotic arms - like everything here this is open for discussion Stock actuators and hinges (like in infernal robotics) with selectable ranges of motion, speed of motion and torque (as well as a realism option for you if you want high torque -> moves at lower speed or something). More suitable aircraft antennae or maybe a tweakable option for radomes A ballast tank with a super precise slider or the possibility of inputting values - this should contain a very dense and totally inert resource - isn't used up by anything (unlike ore) and have a super precise slider or alternatively be able to enter a value from the editor like I discussed earlier. More ladder sizes (or tweakable Kelus-LV) Covered 0.625 and 2.5m docking port Graphical improvement to T-1 "Dart" Toroidal aerospike, at the moment it seems too truncated, the cone (spike) should be extended to be made more spikey Graphical improvement to the S3 KS-25x4 "Mammoth" to match the S3 KS-25 "Vector" the Mammoth is just 4 of the latter engine mounted together, however the former has nozzles that are of poorer quality than that of the Vector and burns with an orange flame instead of the blue flame. Wet/Dry modes to JX-4 "Whiplash" Turbo Ramjet A more powerful 0.625m jet engine to complement the J-20 "Juno" jet engine with wet/dry modes (should either be a scaled down JX-4 or J-404) Graphical improvements to some parts that aren't maybe as good as the standard set by some other parts More airbrake variants (could just be control surfaces which a very large range of motion (60-70 degrees) in one direction only) The addition of the old style fighter jet like Mk.1 cockpit alongside the new Learjet like Mk.1 cockpit - I miss it dearly and would love to have both instead of just the 1 A linear toroidal aerospike in multiple form factors More air intakes for 0.625m parts, eg the shock-cone intake, the inline adjustable ramp intake and the radial adjustable ramp intake (kinda goes with the wing/control surfaces parts for 0.625m form factor) Circular 0.625m and 3.75m probe cores (scaled RC-001S and RC-L01 RGUs Have the grappling hook be able to grapple onto planetary surfaces not just parts and asteroids - will allow it to be used as anchors Optional life support system and applicable resource tanks for said life support Supersonic shock cone and boom effects Define exact part to autostrut to, but keeping the current attach to root part, heaviest part etc Tweakable option for J-90 "Goliath" to remove its structural hardpoint (unless it's already possible) A new structural hardpoint of different sizes to complement the current airliner style ones (they should be more like the older style ones but suitably modernised and in different sizes). Inflatable toroidal heat shields Inflatable airbags for buoyancy and cushioning landings. Fix mirroring issues on structural panels and I-beams at certain orientations Landing gear that retracts outward laterally (sideways) Animated cockpits and hatches Updated lights for runways and towers Flashing variants for lights with defined period and flash mode, as well as rotating beacon lights. Features have been discussed to death including: Multiplayer Atmospheric effects Multiple solar systems
 Give yourself a great big pat on the back if you made it through that! Cheers! Ollie

Convert a NEW stock career-mode into the Soviet Space Program! Total Revamp to V1.3 - SAVE BREAKING UPDATE DOWNLOAD HERE Original Content is released under Creative Commons: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 This mod uses several parts packs along with custom content to transform your stock career mode into the Soviet space program. Give the underdogs of the space-race a second chance! Some stock parts which don't "fit" well with the Soviet-theme are removed (the Mk1 Pod, mercury look-alike, for example) and almost all of the Tantares parts are renamed, re-arranged on the tech tree, or modified in some other way. Rockets tanks are grouped logically by their SL codename# for easy reference, and subassembly parts are included for the major launchers. VAB ships are also included for the major crew pods. Adds custom flags (including lettering of Soviet shuttle names) and agencies. Also, a placeholder IVA is added to crewed parts which currently lack one (the "hitchhiker storage" IVA is used as the placeholder) Requires: Tantares & Tantares LV , AB Launchers, Contract Configurator, Module Manager, Additional Progression Contracts , MonkeyBusiness Retro (you don't need it's dependencies) , FireSpitter DLL only Optional but suggested: Near Future Electrical (currently busted, but will start working as soon as it's update lands), EVA Parachutes (Vostok can be a bit tricky to land...), Kosmodrome and Kerbal Konstructs (dont use the KK bundled with Kosmodrome, use the main mod linked here), Kerbal Planetary Base Systems NOTE : If you are missing KPBS, and/or NFE, some of the nodes at the top of the tech tree will be empty. Not a problem, just realize that it isn't a bug if you see it. Optional and compatible: Anomaly Surveyor Contract Pack Depricated: Q Orbital Systems - patches still included, but parts are now duplicates. Incompatible: The vast majority of other parts packs. Sorry. The from-scratch tech tree will cause other parts packs to throw their parts in really weird places. Credits : This mod contains, with permission, parts developed by Beale, LinuxGuruGamer & Lack, Hraban, and SnowWhite, all under Creative Commons. A few were unfinished beta parts which I completed myself, others were forked. Also includes some icons from CommunityTechTree for the tech tree. This mod uses modulemanager patches to handle parts - it doesn't automatically delete or modify any of your existing files. What you get: A bunch of new parts. A brand new tech tree. Some boosters that use Hypergolic fuels instead of liquidfuel+oxidizer (some, not all) A generous amount of new contracts with semi-linear progression of goals and individual mission programs. Pruning parts out of the dependent mods that don't "fit" with the overall theme of the soviet space program. Heavy editing of parts in the dependent mods to fit in the modified progression tree, and for balance purposes. A bunch of craft files to use as templates - including a WORKING Buran/Energia stack which is VERY easy to fly. Installation Instructions: Unzip the contents of "gamedata" into your "gamedata" like most other mods. If you wish, copy the craft files from the ships and subassemblies folders into your save. Included example .craft files and subassemblies: MiG-9 Fargo MiG-21 Fishbed La-7 Tu-2 Tu-95 Sputnik Vostok Soyuz Soyuz+LK+N1 stack TKS Zarya Zenit PPTS/Federation Buran Gameplay Tips: The progression curve is intended to be SLOW. To be very clear - it is significantly more difficult to max the tech tree compared to stock KSP. You have to mine every last science point if you want to get ahead, especially leading up to the first Mun/Minmus landings. Use autostrut for the Buran shuttle and the larger laundhers. Just do it. Jet engines have had their fuel efficiency SERIOUSLY NERFED to compensate for the addition of more efficient prop engines. Start a new save with some extra funds, and upgrade your Launchpad and VAB (in that order) to level 2 right off the start. Sorry - the R-7/Sputnik launcher is heavy, and has a lot of parts due to the vernier engines and will exceed the part/weight limtis of the level-1 pad and VAB. The included Mig-9 aircraft (Fargo) .craft is very useful in the early game for completing contracts and rounding up science from nearby biomes. Try not to "get ahead" of the objectives you get contracts for. (Wait to do an orbital EVA until you get the contract for it in the Voskot program) Not required, but it makes the game more interesting. The tech tree is balanced so you should be able to do Soyuz , Proton , etc all in Tier-1. Tier-2 is for manned Mun landings and interplanetary probes, and Tier-3 should get your manned missions to the other planets. It's possible to "skip ahead" of course, but this is the logic behind placement of parts on the tech tree. Known Issues: A few of the included booster .craft are slightly overpowered, which is almost unavoidable in a KSP mod of this sort. The included Buran craft is very high in the tech tree. Sorry about that. Consider trying it out in a sandbox save just for starters. The 3 meter fairing base appears more than once on the tech tree - for the life of me, I can't figure out why.

Hi, So I installed Realism overhaul and all the prerequisites using CKan. Everything installed fine, no crashes or problems. Once I had started, I noticed the first set of solid boosters, couldn't lift the command pod despite having enough thrust. They always "stuck" to the launch pad, including the 2nd upgraded launch pad and would only take off after using 1/3 of the "fuel". Also, the contracts to "haul thing" in to space, doesn't work, I completed "haul the 30X" solid booster to 40km and got nothing despite all green ticks ... :EDIT: Twealscale doesn't seem to work either, I cannot adjust any "tweakscale" parts, only the procedural parts. I was looking forward to playing at a real-scale with decent "missions" but this just doesn't seem possible... there is no progression, no "science" missions, and nowhere near as fun as "stock" despite the amount of part available.

My game continuously crashes after updated the game(and the mods of course) to 1.0.5. I had no problem in 1.0.4 but after I updated the RO mod (before 1.0.5) some parts of game disappeared like Aerobee Engine.I can send modlist. Crash Reports
