Costs of upgrading

[Jaeleth]

Why are we forced to buy techs we already had, in career mode, when there is a program upgrade?

Buying newly introduced techs is perfectly reasonable, but re-buying old ones?!?!

why?

 

it happened when I upgraded from 0.9 to 1.0, most recently from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5 and, I'm pretty sure, will happen again when I migrate my career game from 1.0.5 to 1.1...

Hello @Jaeleth, to ensure that craft in flight are not deleted the parts are not removed if already unlocked, even if they are now in a new tech tree node.

Unfortunately this can mean that some parts have to be unlocked again before they can be used on new vessels, but this is better than having your craft disappear.

Also, if it's the actual cost that's bothering you, open up the debug menu (Alt+F12) and give yourself the money back, not really cheating since it's not your fault in the first place and you are simply putting things back as they were.

Best of luck!

Or edit the game file, and add the funds... But that'll be just too much trouble since I would have to sum, one by one, all re-activation of old upgrades, add the money, and then buy the new ones, the proper way. Plus the time I already spend buying them all again in VAB or hangar... Nahhh... Let it go... It's only money
