how do I enable dead kerbal respawn

[T-20000]

So recently the time warp kraken killed Bill in a Munar mission, and I enabled missing crew respawn option in the settings, but he just don't respawn at all. is there any way that I could bring bill back? (I can't edit the save file, cuz I'm using Mac, and notepad doesn’t have a Mac variant)

How long have you waited?

Also.....Mac has a text editor.

the respawn timer is in real gameplay hours, not in game hours. So if it’s set to the default three hours, it will take three real hours before they respawn. No matter the time warp.. yea I was pretty confused at first lol..

Yup. Don't forget you still have to press the little button in the settings when setting up your save.

wait so if kerbals or astronauts went to Europa would they be called Europeans..?

For someone living on Europa moon more likely would be a Europan...

I tried to use text editor, but when you scroll down then it will just freeze.
