Transferring modded KSP to a new computer


Recommended Posts

I will be buying a new computer soon and would like to verify the procedure for transferring my heavily modded game and the saves to the new machine. Is it really as simple as copying the main folder and all the sub-folders and pasting them onto the new machine? Is there any benefit to doing a step by step clean install and just transferring the craft files and saved games?

I would love for it to be simply copy and paste. Reinstalling all the mods one by one gets a little tedious.

Thanks!

Copy the entire game folder.  It does not use the system registry so you do not need to worry about an installation procedure.  I often copy the entire game over to another folder when I'm testing mods.  This way I have my game folder and I have a test bed it's easy.

Thank you. I suspected that was the case, but wanted to confirm. High speed, low drag. I like it!
