KSP Realism mode

[7499275]

Ello people!

So I have a save game file which I am going to keep stock for my KSP youtube series but I want to play another copy. So I'm going to copy the folder blah blah blah you get the drill...

Basically I want to play realisticlly, so FAR (maybe...) Deadly reentry, KW, Novapunch (maybe), A life support mod but tac is yet to be updated, and remotech

So any other mod suggestions for realistic gameplay? I would use rescaled kerbin but it is not finished yet so I will wait. What are your thoughts on Novapunch? and anyone know a good life support mod? Thanks guys!

Kerbal ISP Difficulty scaler for hard mode. It has a similar goal to kerbin rescaled, but it accomplishes it by making your engines suck. TAC life support works with the current version, but you need a config file edit to add its storage tanks to the tech tree.

I have tried most mods out there and can say that if you want realism, NovaPunch feels a bit like a cheat. Not because it is a bad mod, mind you...it's great !...it's just that NP now is a collection of otherwise abandoned mods that have been folded into one big one and kept up to date quite nicely. The number and scope of parts, however, make it fantastically easy to build outstanding ships. The engines are NOT overpowered, but you do tend to get some good stuff too early in the NovaPunch career tree that comes with it. I guess you could take the time to update each part config so that it lands where you want it to on the tree, but seems like a lot of work. While i fully enjoy the mod in sandbox, i tend to keep it out of most of my career trees as it makes it a bit too easy.

...however, if it is easy you want, go with Impossible Innovations. It is still a little bit challenging as all the uber deu/tri stuff is very late in the custom tree (but then again, you only really need one of those engines to change the entire game difficulty to "nub").

For now, i am working with Interstellar (LINK) which does add warp drive, but the custom tree does make it a challenge to get to. It also has some additional science stuff that does add to career science.

Dont forget about City Lights and Clouds...IMHO: one of the best realism mods being worked on (LINK)

Realistic sound?...haven't tried yet but intend to: (LINK)

Lastly, there is a fairly new mod called Realistic Progression (LINK). I haven't tried it yet, but i do have all weekend to finish Interstellar and pick this one up next

That should get you a fairly "realistic" experience, just add a life support mod to taste.

Actually drop DRE2.3 I dont think it is supported anymore. Now the current version is DREv3.

I have to add to your list with a couple others.

Life support.

Better tech tree, or one that makes sense.
