Newbie trying to get Tutorials to work

[flawedperspective]

I have just started working with KSP and am having issues. In the Intermediate Construction tutorial, there is no Hopper available to Open. In addition, there is no swivel engine available. This is really blocking me from continuing. Help please.

Thanks,

Randall

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry, I haven't done the tutorials in ages. I know there's a glitch with the Swivel but I can't remember the fix. I'll see if I can nudge someone who does.

There is a mod on the forums that fixes the tutorial. You can also complete these without installing mods

In the top left of the screen is a filters button that shows more parts. In there, you should be able to find the "old" Swivel engine (which is the engine part that the tutorial refers to). When the engines got updated, the tutorials might have been forgotten, so they still reference the old engine parts (which remain in game for compatibility reasons)

To be honest, you could skip the tutorials if you wanted to, it will only be slightly harder gameplay. Start an easy science game and muck around a bit to get the hang of things, use that as your "tutorial" playground

Thanks. Will give these a launch
