soulsource Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The barn was a concept for the lowest level of the KSC buildings. Some people still want to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klesh Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) The Barn: https://imgur.com/a/G2sUx#0 bac9's (the dev who made the current space center buildings) critique of it: https://imgur.com/onpH9fp The funny part I find about bac9's critique is that some of the bad elements he points out are found in his own, admittedly far superior (imho) space center design. It was subsequently decided to replace it with the tier 1 space center which is what is in the game now. Some people are adamant about it's return to the game.

StrandedonEarth Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Yeah, the Tier 0 "Space Center" needs to be a thing. When inventing a brand new technology, you generally start in a building that wasn't designed for it, hence "The Barn." You can't have a purpose-built building before the purpose has been invented yet. #BringBackTheBarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Emigrant Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I had seen pictures of "The barn" before but not the other stuff. I love the sandbags and the motorhomes. Bring it all back. ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razark Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The barn was another bit of the whole "Heh, Kerbals make everything out of trash" craptastic esthetic that didn't fit with the "Starting with a Mercury/Vostok level spacecraft" idea.

adsii1970 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 In the spirit of this thread, I always thought they needed parts for RC planes and RC rockets when the barn was first discussed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome. I'd buy a DLC with a tier 0 of everything and a slew of 0.3125 meter parts. ...assuming of course that they all worked in career mode *cough*missionbuilder*cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_Killed_Jeb Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I really am still bummed out about the barn. I honestly feel that it was a 60-40 decision but the 40% group was much more sophisticated and eloquent in their opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[needless hyperbole]Are soulless aesthetes that are ruining the game.[/needless hyperbole] Id rather have the barn, completely unimproved, than every last recent graphical “improvement” They should use it as a new launch site next to the big lake and river system on the continent to the east of KSC.

I mentioned on another thread that KSP has turned into S. We’ve still got the space part but the Kerbal part and the Program part have been lost along the way. Left lying by the side of the road if you will. Looking back on it, to me, ditching the Barn was the point at which Squad gave up trying to make a game out of their sandbox.

I agree: put it there for the people who want it, let those who don't ignore it; also, it could also be findable as an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loskene Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I mean it does look very "Kaustralian" (sorry) space program to me. Maybe it can give the rather incomplete looking Woomerang launch site a makeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optional would be just fine. Foisting that eyesore on everyone every time they started a new game would be anything but. I suspect the craptastic LOLKerbals aesthetic would have been forgiven had the execution looked halfway professional, but it didn't. Good riddance, but I'd be open to another attempt - with less amateur-hour art and more fitting into the rest of the game. Nobody launches mercury capsules from a trailer park.

klgraham1013 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'll make it clear. It's not necessary the concept I'm against. (If you get rid of the burnt out car husk.) It's the execution. It would have been the worst art currently in KSP. I just looked over it again to try and give it a 22nd chance. I just couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they decided to add sounding rockets and changed the tech tree to probes before crewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDJ Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It would have made more sense to make the entire Tier 0 space centre out of modular office buildings like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavven Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 To be honest, I found bac9's critique to be overly pedantic. But I don't have a background in level design or any artistic sense, and I also don't zoom in on KSC buildings that much to care if a texture was scaled wrong. Others are entitled to their opinion that the barn was poorly executed. Maybe they have more refined taste or something. Personally I found the barn to be charming. In the end, does the barn really have that much effect on the game one way or another? I'm not personally enjoying KSP any less with or without it. I honestly think people have made a mountain out of this molehill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
