Pilfering KSP2 assets for KSP 1

[rextable]

Now that KSP2 is dead, what are the implications for modders to plunder KSP2's assets for import to KSP1?

Not allowed by licenses, because you'd potentially be redistributing assets to people who don't own KSP2.

The best you could do would be an import tool to be run manually by users who own both games.

Licenses aside, it's questionable to spend the effort to plunder KSP2's assets, considering how much has already been done (and for the most part, ages ago, but there are also fresh takes) for KSP1 through mods, and I know some things haven't yet been done at all in either game. We'll just leave those alone, I guess:

• Multiplayer? Dark and Luna (however buggy) exist.
• Fancy and taller solar panels? Habtech or Near Future Solar.
• Procedural wings? B9 Procedural Wings.
• Huge tanks? Procedural Parts + whatever texture pack for it that appeals to you.
• Nuclear power and engines? Near Future Electric + Kerbal Atomics.
• Recolor parts? Textures Unlimited Recolor Depot + Lazy Painter (for stock parts ofc. Supported parts packs will vary).
• Interstellar locations? Several amazing planet packs floating around and some are still getting better but people are weirdly obsessed with having the KSP2 star systems that barely exist. Here are a few great names to think about:
  • Kcalbeloh is the #1 pick since it's available and top quality.
  • Kerbal Star Systems 2 (when it returns) is also top quality and is a huge, handmade mod.
  • Infinite Discoveries: procedural galaxy mod. I've heard great things about it ...and it's #1 if you want quantity more than quality.
  • Other Worlds Reboot: Adds a single star and has a very different style, I think, but introduces a story mode which might really float your boat.
• Ocean launch points? KSC Harbor (from JNSQ) but there's another one whose name I don't remember.

I'd rather look at the pictures that they posted for ideas about parts/statics, and base models off of that research. Use them as a source of inspiration rather than a source to pull out of KSP 2.

I’d love to get the KSP 2 sounds, including the music and engine audio, brought into KSP 1. That’s one of my favorite aspects of KSP 2, and I’m really missing it since coming back to KSP 1.
