Vonblack Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I just got the game thu Steam...and I have been playing for two days...I skipped the "sandbox" thinking that career would "teach" me the game faster. it's true to a point. Here's the deal: I understand that this game is still in dev. no prob. However should I go sandbox to learn the equipment and builds first...it's a very frustrating process ... for example I have five poor kerbals orbiting (at varying distances) with no way home...ok, poor planning on my part...anyway...where should I go to learn the physics and game mechanics? Love the game, and thanks for you input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whackjob Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Go to youtube, and search for "KSP tutorial" and pick the one done by Scott Manley.It helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropapi1 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 1) There's a "Welcome Aboard" section. 2) If you have archieved orbit, you're headed the right way. 3) Go check out Scott Manley's videos.4) Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudester28 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I do suggest that if you don't fully understand career mode, try sandbox. After all, it's how everybody learned the game before career mode was added. In sandbox, it's a bit more trial and error when you are learning. Don't be overwhelmed by the amount of parts you see.

SpaceSphereOfDeath Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Start sandbox first, more parts, easier the career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Ron Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 While in Sandbox, start out simple to build up your experience. The experience will make things easier when you go back to career mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xacktar Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Don't be afraid of failure, often failing in KSP is more entertaining than success. (just sent a deep space probe to Eloo... with the engines on backwards. Laughed so hard...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
