[1.12.5] Tourism Overhaul: Completely Revamps Tourism Contracts [v1.0] [12/20/2024]
Tourism Overhaul is a contract-pack that completely replaces the stock tourism contracts. It fixes lots of the common complaints with vanilla game tourist contracts, while also expanding the system in general, adding things such as Space Hotels which can be put in orbit around different planetary bodies to rake in lots of kerbucks.

Something this mod does that other mods didn't do was properly balance tourism between early and late game. With this mod, early game contracts will pay large amounts for sending tourists to the Mun & Minmus, but once you start going interplanetary your tourists will realize that the Mun & Minmus isn't really worth it anymore, and will pay slightly less for those trips while they will pay more for interplanetary missions. The contract layout was also designed to mimic stock Kerbal Space Program, showing the names of each Kerbals itenerary individually instead of grouping them together, which will allow you to split up tourists into seperate ships if you so desire. This mod is compatible with other planet packs, and has been fully tested with the Outer Planets Mod.

FEATURES

Better Balancing: Get what you deserve for your contracts. Contract rewards are adjusted based on your current achievments in your space program. 

Early game / easier tourist contracts will pay a higher amount during early game, while harder contracts will have a higher payout for late game. Contracts are balanced so they don't overpay/underpay.

Space Hotels: Now you can construct space hotels. Not just around Kerbin, but also around other planetary bodies.

Revamped Contracts & New Unique Contracts: This mod completely replaces the stock tourist contracts, and adds 7 brand new contracts!

Stock-Alike Tourist System: Now contracts give you each individual tourist as its own objective, this gives the mod a similiar feel to stock. Other mods do not do this, they group all tourists into one objective. (See spoiler)

Spoiler

NEW CONTRACTS

This mod is theoretically compatible with Tourism Plus and Tourism Expanded but is not recommended due to these mods adding similar styled contracts / different balancing.

FWIW I see three typos in the image: "itinerary" is misspelled, "tourists itineraries" needs an apostrophe, and "three tourist to Ike" should be "tourists".

I think some people (besides me) would appreciate an option to have the billionaires not to be named after real people.

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I just fixed these typos and uploaded the patch! I also looks through all of the other contracts and checked for typos and fixed any that I saw.

Someone else also asked for this. I will make an optional file that does this.

This is now an optional file in the latest release!

This looks dope, trying it out now!

Hi @iLikeGothMommys. FYI, no "CKAN FIX" was needed because CKAN is already filtering out this bundled mod when installing.

Ironically, since you only uploaded that ZIP to SpaceDock and not GitHub, it hasn't been added to CKAN anyway.

Thank you, it's my first time ever using CKAN so I'm trying to learn it. I saw it was getting an error on NetKAN due to it detecting two version files. I assumed it was from the bundled contract configurator. Currently there is a bug on spacedock that doesn't allow me to delete previous versions. Once the fix is merged I plan to go in and clean up SPACEDOCK to keep it on par with GitHub.

Would this be compatible with KSP v1.10.1?

[Jeffery Kerman]

I'm not sure if this is feasible, but it would be cool to be able to make hotels on the surface of planets in addition to in orbit

This is something I have thought of, and might start looking into soon. I also might do something like a colonist contract. Where you design a surface base and then send a large group of tourists to it to stay permanently. Currently they are both just ideas though.

It should be yes, but hasn't been tested on my end.

 

It's based off contract configurator, so as long as you use the 1.10 version of contract configurator it should function fine.

a great mod well done

[Fizzlebop Smith]

Would it be possible to integrate anything with Civilian Population?  Tourists that spend X number of hours doing various activities get recruited into the KSP roster. This is usually done through some things with generic civilians, but i was wondering if you could designate the "drop off" or return point to somewhere a tourist could become a civilian?

I have just installed this the other day and am still on my probe phase of the project so my Tourism Contracts are all in system. I am about to build my first station soon and am starting to just dream the dream for later and was wondering if this was something anyone else ever asked? Would this be something extensive to achieve or could a patch be made to overwrite the "Kerbin" for *some* of the missions.

This is just something i was wondering after hitting the VAB for my first Station. I am a long friggin way from that space casino.

This is something I can definitely look into, I've never personally used that mod myself so I will have to check it out and see how it works. I know its a popular mod though. Nobody has asked this yet but to be fair this mod is fairly new.

Also on a side note, I noticed you mentioned the space casino, that is actually from a different mod (Tourism Plus). My mod only has hotels. I'm just informing you of that in-case you meant to download that mod instead. 

This mod is heavily inspired by Tourism Plus but expands upon its systems to go interplanetary (and interstellar coming soon). With Tourism Plus most of the contracts are only for Kerbin & its moons. This mod makes it so you can do tourist contracts on all bodies outside of Kerbins SOI, and also makes it so eventually you can build a hotel empire and have hotels around every planet/moon if you so desire. With Tourism Plus the hotel/casino can only be built around Kerbin.
