ahmetyag3 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I want to get into career mode modding and am looking for some mods. The types of mods I want are: Better plane parts (Mk1, Mk2, Mk3) Better SSTO and rocket engines Better ion and nuclear engines New fuel types New career mission types New science tools Better colony and space station parts Better optimization (for a potato PC) Better tech tree I don't want any visual mods. Should I use TURD or Lazy Paint for coloring? Can you guys help? I'm new to modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzlebop Smith Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Aside From the Visual Packs.. Do Some research Bc some are not cross compatible with one another. With the new clouds I dropped Astonomers and spectra. I get most of my enjoyment from the immersion mods that add to the career experience. Once I get out of work I'll cull a list down to what I really love most and upload. At work now but wanted to respond so I wouldn't forget. I just started a ScanSAT ay that's awesome. I'll start off by recommending Contract Configurator Cacteye Refocused (Adds Satelites that are amazing with Distant Object Enhancement) ScanSAT Contract Pack : Anomalies Contract Pack: Constellations Contract Pack: Research Advanced Division Contract Pack; ScanSat Missions Contract Pack: Tourism (One With Casino) Some QOL that make the above easier and more engaging Mechjeb2 Waypoint Manager There are a couple more, Contract packs are my favorite thing about modded play. There are some more I can't remember or take the time post ATM. Look forward to reading the recommendations and will he back later with Ckan import list.

Nightside Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The list above is great. The hardest part of modded play is knowing where to stop. With a potato computer, you will have to watch your Ram usage as you add mods. TURD is great but it actually uses a lot of resources, so this is one that I will sometimes cut.

New science tools Kerbalism's Science completely changed the game for me, that and ScanSat are my favorite Science gathering modes. DMagic Orbital Science MOAR Station Science Better colony and space station parts Stockalike Station Parts Redux HabTech2 PlanetSide Exploration Technologies MOAR Station Science Better optimization (for a potato PC) KSP Community Fixes Better tech tree Community Tech Tree Kiwi Tech Tree Probes Before Crew Unkerballed Start QUARTIX/TETRIX/SIMPLEX Trees As a general rule for parts, all of Nertea's Near Future part mods are recommended. There's also BluedogDesign Bureau and Tantares which are incredibly popular but I get overwhelmed by the sheer number of parts there.

ahmetyag3 Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 Can you suggest some SSTO part mods? Thanks, by the way 1 hour ago, Nightside said: The list above is great.

Krakatoa Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Just one tech tree mod, choose the one that fits the way you want to explore the game. 8GB is pretty low for KSP, you'll want to limit your mods, especially particularly big ones with lots of textures.

It's kind of hard to pick when you're starting off but Community Tech Tree is probably the simplest as it just expands the current Tree. I would recommend checking the forum page for each tree to check for supported mods. 31 minutes ago, ahmetyag3 said: Can you suggest some SSTO part mods?

KSP does take up a lot of RAM especially when using mods, I would advise being careful with the number of mods you add or at least be prepared for your save to be cut short because of performance.
