Mods

[vinnieboJ]

so, have seen some amazing mods @ Curse and i want to put some in my game, the problem is i have no idea how to do it. another space related game I play (Space Engineers) uses a Steam integrated Workshop. maybe Kerbal could support that too? because that would make it a lot easier for not so computertech-savvy people to integrate the Mods into the game.

Greetings from the Mün.

Welcome to the forums!

Many mods include installation instructions, but for those that don't, follow the general instructions in the How to Get Support sticky in the Support (modded installs) forum. Mod-specific instructions are usually in the OP or readme in the download.

In general, it's a good idea to read the Forum Rules and stickied threads. In this case, Steam Workshop integration is on the What Not to Suggest List. This is largely because KSP is available both through Steam and the KSP Store – KSP Store users could never access the Steam Workshop. There have also been suggestions of a non-Steam stock mod manager. In the meantime, the Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network was just released and the Kerbal Modification Catalog is in progress.

I don't normally do mods, but plugins can make the stock game much better. I use Kerbpaint, Hyperedit, Persisttrails, and UniverseReplacer. All of them are still stock but are awesome for the game experience.

Don't forget TweakableWheels! That's fun to play with.

Before you go anywhere near mods.

Backup and keep a game that is stock only.

You know the standard advice that goes with any mod system.
