Career Mode does not Work

[dojatobla]

I have a problem, I try to start my career mode but i´m unable to select my command pod MK1!!

When you say you cannot select it, does it appear in the parts list at all or do you just have one part like a fuel tank?

Try going to the science building and seeing what tech you have. If it doesn't show the command pod (or the other basics like an engine, solid booster and parachute) then your install might be messed up. Someone else reported that too, though I can't find it now to confirm if reinstalling fixed it. Make sure it's a clean install with no mods first, there is a chance some mods do things that mess up .22.

the command pod appears in both list VAB and Research facilities, the problem is in the VAB i can´t select the pod, it says "Part model requires an Entry Purchase in the R&D". I think you might be right, there must be some kind of trouble with the file, but i don´t want to delete it, cause of my saves, can i download the game again? ( I bought it on Steam)

Steam usually for games has the option to verify installed packages (should IIRC be available in the properties of the game (which you can get via the menu that pops up after right-clicking the game in your library))

I had this problem earlier. Go to the R&D page and click on the icon that contains the pod (the first one in the tree), on the right the parts will be listed in a window. Click them to 'buy' them. There's a price, but I dont think a currency is implemented yet. I'm not sure why this happens, but it only did it for the first two stages of research and then it would automatically 'buy' all the parts when I would upgrade.

If you've got the steam version then verify files is the best way. Exit KSP, right click the game in your Stream library and choose Properties. On the Local Files tab click Verify Integrity of File Cache. If any files are messed up Steam will redownload them.

If you are worried about losing your save, just go into your KSP folder and copy the 'Saves' folder to your desktop first. You can move this backup to any installation on KSP (this is also how you move your save if you changed from the Squad store version to Steam Key)

You can find the KSP folder inside your steam folder:

[steam]\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\saves

[dojatobla]

I verified the file in the Steam library and Steam doesn´t find any errors, can I delete the game and redownload free? and can I save my "Saves" after the download?

I believe some people have solved problems like this by going into the research area and clicking on the missing part in the area where it shows it being researched to 'buy' it

That should work. I had to do that with MechJeb and Engineer after I added them.
