Sharkman Briton Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I just saw that old video by RoninPawn about the Barn, and for the first time I saw the pictures of it, and I must say I like it, very Kerbal, good for a Caveman Challenge and all that.But since Squad will never be able to fully put it in KSP (the community will go bonkers) I suggest for Squad to make an official mod, that replaces the Tier 1 KSC with the whole 'Barn KSC', so people who like the look of the barn can have the barn, and people who don't can still have their normal KSC. Everyone wins!And it would be rather easy for Squad to do, as it seems they have all the textures (and hopefully collision meshes and destruction animations) done, all they have to do is a bit of tweaking and file stuff, put it in a .zip file and whullah!Thoughts?

Pthigrivi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah I'm into that. People got so weird about the barn, no one seemed to get that they were seeing preliminary concept art. I thought it was inspired and added such a rich and creative flavor to the game... Oh well I suppose. There were polls at the time and a clear majority wanted them to finish the art and keep it so I think they should just go for it but if the hyper-bland teir one they have now makes people happy then I'd be fine with An official mod.

Guest Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 People got so weird about the barn, no one seemed to get that they were seeing preliminary concept art.People got weird about the barn not because of the barn but because of the wealth of stereotypical redneck iconography that accompanied it. The last thing this game needs is a reinforcement of it as a disaster simulator; the community does enough harm in that respect as it is. Even if it was concept art it was a terrible concept.Barn? Fine. Rusted car lot? Why the hell is that in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Snuggler Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 the issue with the "barn" was the extremely low quality. textures were bad, models were bad, idea was poorly realized and theme was... off. mod? fine, just don't put it in my game.

Alshain Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I don't think it should be a mod. It needs to be in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Briton Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Alshain, the reason I made this suggestion is to avoid people fighting and to let everyone be happy, by having the whole thing be OPTIONAL.I personally like the textures.

There is no way to have it optional and an integral part of the game at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pthigrivi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 So we agree! The other side is stupid and awful and an official mod is the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pthigrivi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 There was a bit of parody in that post. Apologies if it was too subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The plan is for the barn to be reworked and included in a future version of stock. Therefore, there is no need for a mod for this purpose. Let's not repeat the barn hate yet again, please? It was a year ago. Let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
