Yeah, my web browser has this "new" thing called "Search" - I just press '/' and type what I'm looking for.

As I'm well aware, *maintaining* this list must be a real PITA, but for "users", forcing them to use an unnecessarily complicated spreadsheet is a bit ridiculous. Anyway, it's Gaarst's decision, I'm not going to complain.

There is a search function built in the spreadsheet as well, it's Ctrl+F on my browser not sure what it would be for yours.

I understand your concerns and you have the right to complain, however I am not going to revert to a library hosted directly on the post because it would be too much work and because I personally think the spreadsheet is better.

In other news I have started adding the mods I was missing on the library and as of now I have the mods released up until the 17th Feb. After I'm done with this I will be updating mods for 1.4(.1) more consistently.

I have also re-established credits to @CarnageINC in the main post which I deleted when I rewrote it. As is said there, he is responsible for referencing and formatting a very large majority of the mods in the library, and it wouldn't be how it is today if it wasn't for him. I didn't want to make it look like I wanted to get all the credit for myself, but it was a terrible decision to remove his name from the library and I deeply apologise for that.
On a lighter note, he has been driven away from KSP by other obligations and such, and so is looking for a new maintainer for his Add-on Development Mod Library which is basically the same as this one except for mods in development and more addressed to modders than players.

I'm happy to announce that I have added all the mods released from last October to today to the library! It is finally up-to-date... kinda, I still need to get 1.4/1.4.1 compatibilities done; but at 1085 mods excluding the Outdated section, it's finally complete!! Until like tomorrow when new mods get released that is.

Now I'll focus in updating the mods for 1.4.1 and I will try to update the mod list at least once a week to keep track of new releases.

I've started updating the mods for 1.4/1.4.1, about 25% of the total number are done.

I also have allowed people to leave comments on the spreadsheet, anyone should be able to comment on the spreadsheet, however anyone can also "close" (hide) and "re-open" (show) any comment as they wish and see the past history of all comments (I can't delete comments, only "close" them which hides them but they are still visible in the comment history). We'll see how that goes, in the unlikely case of people abusing comments I'll forbid them.

@Gaarst:

Normally, I am opposed to change. And I will admit, I grumbled a little a lot when I read you were going to use a Google Docs spreadsheet to keep track of mods. And I wanted to tell you that I was wrong. It actually works amazingly well and I can see the benefits of it... considering it is probably a lot easier to update than the OP on the forum. Thank you for doing this for the community.

[surge]

As a suggestion, is it possible for you to punch the information from the spreadsheet back into the original post in this forum? Perhaps this 'google docs' can export it in html or whatever format this forum uses (i think it's called BBcode)? Say, at least when a new KSP release comes out, or every few months if you have the time.

I exercise my right NOT to complain, mainly because you've collected the URLs to the mods I want already, and I always check them for the latest builds, regardless of what this post says.

This idea does seem to solve all the problems though, if it's possible - As a heavy mod user, I generally don't use the new KSP versions until the mods I want are updated and they fix the invariable linux/mac problems; usually at least 1/2 a year later. I'm still running 1.3.1, and only a few months ago updated from 1.3.0 for example. I don't think I'm alone in this.

[NewTech]

IMPORTANT:
I was originally planning on moving 1.2 mods to the outdated section before doing major changes to the library so that mods for the latest version of KSP would be easier to find. However, I was not able to edit the library for about a month and I couldn't do the updates I was planning. In the meantime, 1.3.1 was released and apparently there are compatibility issues between the latest patch and the 1.3 release. I haven't really followed the release and the mods activity recently so I don't know much about this yet.
All in all, I have two possibilities now. Either I move 1.2 mods to the outdated section and look at which 1.3 mods are affected by the update to get up to date with mods releases and updates. Or I start working on the spreadsheet which, among other things, will remove the need for an outdated section and make updating mods easier now, leaving the library on standby for a bit longer but allowing for easier upkeep in the future.
Since I've been pushing back the spreadsheet thing for quite a few months now, I figured it might be a good time to actually start it. I don't really know how long it will take for the spreadsheet to be "complete" but don't expect big changes to the library in that time (I will still update/add mods when notified, but I won't be moving 1.2 mods anywhere, for example). I will try to keep you updated on the status of the spreadsheet regularly, for now here's the spreadsheet in development (very incomplete) so that you can give me feedback as I build it:

Click here for the spreadsheet! (you should be able to view and download it but not edit it, please tell me if there's anything wrong)

 

________________________________

 

This thread is a continuation of the Community Mods and Plugin Library which used to be a list containing a large number of mods ordered by category to help people finding new ones. Unfortunately, it was lost in early January along with several other mod release threads with no hope of recovery. This new thread will hopefully succeed in replacing the old one, and hopefully help users finding new mods. (Kudos to @nismobg for the original thread from which I stole quite a few mods and ideas)

 

A few notes on the structure of the library:

• Mods are organised by categories. Things can and will evolve as more mods are added to make it easier to find mods.
• Version compatibility is taken directly from the thread titles as we won't always have the time to check every single mod. Know that mods compatible with KSP 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 should generally be compatible with KSP 1.2.2.
• The modders that we cite are the owners of the release threads, not necessarily the creators or sole developers of a mod.

We are open to suggestions: if you feel the categories could be improved, that a mod does not fit in its current category, or know that a mod is working or not with 1.2.x or 1.3, your participation is welcome as are any ideas to improve this list.

 

Participating in the library:

Besides the points above, you can also suggest new mods to be added to the library in case we missed some. Simply reply giving the name, and if possible the version, a link to the forum post and a brief description.

Note that this list is not exhaustive and if you don't see the mod you just suggested, don't worry, we will probably eventually add it in the next few updates. Know that maintaining several hundred of mods takes some time so mods may not be added straight away; on the other hand, replying takes little time and any comment on the thread will be noticed and replied to by either of us.

 

(Note to modders: should any modder not want his/her mods to be featured in this list or have any correction to make about one of their mods in particular, just drop a message or PM and I'll edit it as fast as I can.)

 

"We" refers to @CarnageINC and I. He is currently co-maintaining and organising the thread and does a fantastic job on his side! He can answer questions/requests/suggestions at least as well as I can (if not better). He also maintains the Add-on Development Mod Library which lists mods being developed, mainly for modder use. So big big thanks to him!

We also thank everyone helping both of us by participating in the library and suggesting new mods to be added.

COMMUNITY MODS AND PLUGINS LIBRARY (currently maintained for 1.2.2 & 1.3)

 

The mods updated for 1.2/1.3 are in the list just below; the outdated mods are in the next post, click here for quick access.

 

IMPORTANT:

• Mods in green are compatible with version 1.2.2 and/or 1.3 either from testing or simply from their release thread. They may not have been recompiled for 1.2/1.3 and may appear outdated, but they work fine.
• Mods in light green are not officially updated for 1.2.x/1.3 but users have made patches to make them compatible, you can therefore use them with the patches. The patches will be linked along the main thread.
• Mods in blue are in development. They usually don't have an official release but you may get a test build for the latest version that works reasonably well.
• Mods in red are broken on 1.2.x/1.3 even though they may be indicated as updated (no mod falls in this category at the moment).

 

Last updated: 2017/10/31 (YMD) - 1203 mods referenced and counting!

[1.3.0] Gameslinx's Planet Overhaul, by Gamel0rd1

This is extremely old - can I request that the author is changed to Gameslinx? Also, GPO is for 1.3.1.

(I used to be called Gamel0rd1, then got a name change a year ago). Thanks.

 

Also, could After Kerbin be added into the star system mod list? https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/166605-131-after-kerbin-planet-mod-4-billion-years-from-now/

What NewTech posted above appears to be an old backup/archive of the library. It is not up to date and I am not maintaining it.

I can't check right now but I am pretty sure GPO is updated and After Kerbin is listed in the main library.

Ah, my apologies.

[Belthize]

+1000 for moving this to Google Docs.  Having maintained somewhat similar information in the past in a different venue it's the best solution given the tools.  Way easier for you to maintain, gives the ability to delegate, heck eventually mod authors can update it themselves if you want, allows users to maintain their own copy if they want, vastly simpler to search and do cross cuts by version and type.

I've been away for 15 months and the task of pouring through which mods I used to use have been replaced, updated etc versus 1.3.1, 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 had made me throw my hands up in disgust.  I had actually discounted this thread because my memory of it's original form (as can be seen in the post above) was that it was ungainly and out of date, but I came back, saw the spread sheet form and immediately snagged a copy.

So many thanks and good choice.

Hello @Gaarst !!  
Its really nice, that you and your team found the time to migrate to (online) spreadsheet, which provides many improvements in both editing and categorizing of the mods compared to posting in the forum (which was never designed for such task).
That said, I want to annonce that I and my team have been doing localized version of the mod list for quite some time independently and unaware of your effort, however our project has some differences:
- we link and adverize your project as "global" (because, de facto it is), while referring to our table as local,
- we are using Zoho instead of GDocs, with main reason Zoho allowing more registration ways and more classic spreadsheet interface,
- our table format is purposely flat (non-hypertext) in url section, which allows the whole table to be copy-pasted into different solution, bypassing the export limitations of projects and devices,
- we are focusing on local forum community: the DB is in Russian, with notes that are supplied by our users, which looks like best effort as that supporting multi-language table would consume at least two extra columns for each language and add the communication overhead to global mod db (yours).
- we do not try to include everything, instead relying on what our members use, however to date we manually added the information without using data from any other similar table.
- we are integrating mod localization tracking into the db, which allows to check and register translation status in-place.
- we are doing atomic changes, backing up the table periodically.

That said, I want to express that members of the global community are always welcome to use our db for any kind of information, including updating the global table and I would like to ask if we could do the same.

The [ link to our DB  ] , to link to [ our subforum thread ].

Its really nice, that you and your team found the time to migrate to (online) spreadsheet, which provides many improvements in both editing and categorizing of the mods compared to posting in the forum (which was never designed for such task).
That said, I want to annonce that I and my team have been doing localized version of the mod list for quite some time independently and unaware of your effort, however our project has some differences:
- we link and adverize your project as "global" (because, de facto it is), while referring to our table as local,
- we are using Zoho instead of GDocs, with main reason Zoho allowing more registration ways and more classic spreadsheet interface,
- our table format is purposely flat (non-hypertext) in url section, which allows the whole table to be copy-pasted into different solution, bypassing the export limitations of projects and devices,
- we are focusing on local forum community: the DB is in Russian, with notes that are supplied by our users, which looks like best effort as that supporting multi-language table would consume at least two extra columns for each language and add the communication overhead to global mod db (yours).
- we do not try to include everything, instead relying on what our members use, however to date we manually added the information without using data from any other similar table.
- we are integrating mod localization tracking into the db, which allows to check and register translation status in-place.
- we are doing atomic changes, backing up the table periodically.

That said, I want to express that members of the global community are always welcome to use our db for any kind of information, including updating the global table and I would like to ask if we could do the same.

Best regards, K101

Of course you can use this list to update yours! This is just a list of mods, there's no content created that I could claim ownership of.

Anyway, thanks for the tips, I'll take a closer look at it whenever I get the time to and see how I can improve this list.

A bit of news: I recently have been, and will be for about a month more, quite busy IRL and finding time to update the library is a bit difficult. I probably could update it little by little every few days but that's not how I want to do it and updating the library at once is very time consuming.

Long story short, don't expect regular updates to the library for about a month or so.

[Gaarst]

I'm done with the boring stuff, so I can get back to maintaining the list! I've started adding the mods released since March and I'll be tagging mods for 1.4.x after that.

 

Edit: mods released up to 31/05 are now in the list!

@Gaarst thanks for keeping up the list

Just an fyi ... BD Armory Continued has been updated to KSP v1.4.x and I released another mod a few months ago for structural panels 

Thanx again for keeping the list going

You're welcome! I've tagged BDAc for 1.4.3; I had already added Re-purposed Structural Panels to the library.

Edited June 2, 2018 by Gaarst
Re-purposed Solar Panels is not a thing AFAIK...

@Gaarst, could you add my KSP Trajectory Optimization Tool to your list?  Link is in my signature or here.  It should be classified as an external tool.  Thanks!

[FreeThinker]

@Gaarst, could you add

 

[Gaarst]

@Arrowstar @FreeThinker I've added both your mods!

So glad to see your still hard at it Gaarst!  The spreadsheet idea was amazing, I would love to come back and update Add-on Dev Mod in a similar fashion after I finish my current round of WoT/WoWS modding projects.

Thanks! I'll be happy to see you back at it! In the meantime all the best for your other projects.

Oops was looking at outdated mod list.

It's kind of unfortunate for me this is a spreadsheet on Google docs. I don't have any spreadsheet program on my home computer, and my work computer is blocked against loading anything from Google docs.

I don't use Google docs, but you should be able to read it in your browser without issue.  And here is free office software that is cross-platform.  I use Libre Office exclusively.

No, I can't. I don't think you understand. My company, who owns my business computer, has forbidden access to Google docs (and all other such filesharing sites).

And frankly, I don't want to install a spreadsheet (free or otherwise) on my game computer.

Anyway, I know that the world isn't going to be designed just for me. But I miss the days when this useful list was right here in the forum instead of off on some other platform.

Yeah I understand that this is a problem for you, however for me (and I'm hoping for people who can read it) the spreadsheet gives more options than a massive text list on one post. I never really thought about people who wouldn't be able to read it (Google docs should work on any browser and there exists offline spreadsheet editors such as LibreOffice as mentioned above).

If you really want to access it I probably have a backup of the old library format that I could PM you, however be aware that it will be quite outdated; I should also be able to extract the raw text from the spreadsheet and paste it into a text tile, but formatting will be horrendous and links lost. As long as I am maintaining this list it is very likely it will remain on a spreadsheet format, but I'll try to think of alternative solutions for people in your situation.
