So I got bored...

[montyben101]

I created a separate KSP install and decided to see what would happen if I slowly took out items from the KSP_data folder.

First I removed the file sharedassets5

Everything loaded fine and I was able to create a new save. However when I went into the VAB things got.... weird. I was able to attach parts but they would not properly and would still be grayed out and could not be taken off.

Next to go was the file sharedassets10

This seemed to have no affect what so ever. My only guess was that this was one of the upgraded buildings

I next took out the file level2

Still no affect

Now Im going to take out file mainData

If nothing interesting happens I will take out large chunks of the files

Hmm this just stopped KSP from launching entirely so I will take out 2 or three at a time

PURPLE PURPLE PURPLE - yes a lot of purple is around now

In fact that was MILD in the VAB the borders were just purple

Also the game got confused and didn't know if I was in the map or not

Oh and kerbin vanished too 0_o

After I went into map view I could not leave

Oh and apparently thats the VAB

Oh god the asteroids are coming!

Ooo lol!

Random potatoroids?

[montyben101]

Yeah for some reason the game decided to replace the mun with a few asteroids

[tg626]

Pretty sure that's the surface scatter (IE surface boulders) without the actual surface mesh.

[Commissioner Tadpole]

Yeah, tg is right, that's surface scatter. Although a Start Menu screen composed of an asteroid field WOULD look pretty nice...

[worir4]

Well at least you didn't loose any funds.

XD thats hilarious.

Also, SharedAssets10 is, among other things, the sun lens flare. I know because I cracked mine open to add a modified sun flare.

This is why KSP is such a great game!

What does each SharedAssets folder contain?

I think it's too much things to list since it's all the game files.

Easiest way to find out is go download Unity Assets Explorer and crack them open yourself.
