Is there a mod that you couldn't live without?

[Ghosty141]

RPM + ASET + th patches for the capsules.

Collision Fx is one of the mods i like, specially for the landing gear touchdown sounds
(sadly not compatible with 1.5.1)

There is a whole bunch of mods that I could list here, but I guess if I had to pick just one, it would most likely be AmpYear. There are numerous missions that had almost ended in disaster simply because I forgot to deploy solar panels before time warping, but thanks to reserve power it has saved all those missions from ending prematurely! In addition, it also helps with the occasional situation where you're trying to transmit science data, but don't have enough charge to transmit it.

KER...hands down

[TheKurgan]

There is no way to chose just one... There is no way for me to choose just 5.... it's hard enough to choose 10 I couldn't live without.

In no particular order:

KER

Editor Extensions Redux

IFS (HATE IT!!! but have to live with it)       

MechJeb (Can do it manually, but bored with that aspect)

Some mod that adds Nuclear reactors... either NF, USI, or even ThorTech... 

Some mod that adds more engines and fuel tanks. ModRocketSys, KWRocketry, and others...

FShangarExtender for sure!!

KJR.... sort of

HeatControl...

There are quite a few more... I would never be able to play with Stock + 1 mod.

If a stock dV readout were not imminent, I would say KER. But stock dV is coming in 1.6, and Basic Orbit seems like a good mod to replace the other parts of KER that I find useful, without the baggage of KER in its entirety.

I think the mod I can’t live without now is Precise Manoeuvre. It has tons of useful improvements to stock manoeuvre nodes. I can’t list all of them here, but they include stuff like the ability to adjust the values of the node and a ‘Circularise’ button.

FS hangar extender. Only way for any editor to go above 10 FPS.

I have been meaning to try that.

 

I I had to pick hmmmm KER for sure I don't trust the stock readout

[catonthekbd]

Waypoint manager

(Followed by Precise Manoeuvre, Trajectories and NavHUD)

[Adstri]

For me, Only Trajectories and Kerbal Alarm Clock.

[Superfluous J]

I don't think I'd play science/career mode without ForScience, and if I was in Sandbox and could pick another one, I'd go with Warp Everywhere (mine!).

The rest make it easier. Those two make it playable (for me).

One?  No, more like 3+.

KER - nearly impossible to design without it
(tho we will see how well 1.6 replaces the DV)

KAC + Precise Node or Precision (whichever is most up to date) - Yes these count as one. 
keeps me from missing the windows, and lets face it, nobody should routinely handfly a Hohmann transfer unless your name is Scott Manley

MJ - relieves the tedium in mid and late game.  NASA/SpaceX/BlueOrigin/Boeing/Northrop/VirginGalactic/etc do not hand fly their rockets, and neither do I.

Science Revamp Revamped.

It rebalances science so it makes a lot more sense, and I use it in every save I play.

It’s kinda obvious but Module Manager is pretty essential. It really opens up modding even for folks without coding skills and allows many more people to contribute to the community.

After booting up a bone-stock install for the first time in who knows how long, I realised that there was another mod I couldn’t live without: Chatterer. It adds so much immersion to the game - it felt so silent without it.
