How long does it take for Asteroids to show up?

[darkstrike]

I've sat at the Tracking Station for a few minutes with time warp turned up and I've yet to see any asteroids appear in my save yet

How often do they occur?

It varies, I suggest playing for a while (Instead of time warping) and checking the tracking station often.

Mine appeared just about instantly, so it shouldn't take too long.

In my case, it happened pretty much instantly. I fired up the game post-update, went to the tracking center (at 1x), and was immediately surrounded by at least five ?s, with new ones coming into range and waiting to be turned into actual rocks every minute.

Click over to the VAB, then click back to the Tracking Station. I did this, and a few started to show up pretty quickly. When I was staring at Tracking Station with time warp, I was getting nothing at first, too.

Just played for over an hour on an old save, haven't seen one 'Unknown' pop up yet, mostly at 1x (doing some orbital fuel-transfer and surface operations)

I'll have to try the "switch-to-VAB-and-back" trick and see if it makes a difference...

You need to zoom out beyond Kerbin's SOI - aka you should be able to see duna. I think some people may be looking for asteroids within Kerbin's SOI

I believe you need to make a new save. They would not show up under my existing saves at all. Nothing in those saves were corrupted and they were very much playable, just no fancy space rocks were to be seen.

Today I installed 0.23.5. A little late, but I had other things to do I always run a clean version of KSP (no mods) for every new installment. First thing I did, was looking for some obvious changes. As soon as I went to the tracking station a unknown object popped up. Maybe I was lucky?

I wasn't looking past Kerbin's SoI, however, that shouldn't matter...shouldn't I still see a "1" or "2", etc. next to "Unknown" at the top of the Tracking Center screen?

This is how it looks:

[darkstrike]

Yeah....spent another 40 mins earlier looking roughly around there and nothing ever appeared...

There was a bug in the initial release, it has been hotfixed so make sure you are running the most up to date version of KSP

[darkstrike]

Thanks Sal, I'll check!

EDIT - That was it, ow seeing them since updating again, thanks!
