  1. /kspg/'s modlist & FAQ
  2.  
  3. >MODS
  4. Guide to installing your average mod:
  5. 1) Download zip
  6. 2) Find where your root KSP directory is. For steam users it's steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program
  7. 3) In there should be a Gamedata folder along with other folders.
  8. 4) Open mod zip
  9. 5) Look at contents. There should be a named folder corresponding to the mod. Inside said folder will be some more folders, either parts or plugins.
  10. 6) Drag the named folder into "Gamedata"

  89. >Q&A
  90.  
  91. >What is KSP?
  92. Kerbal Space Program is a space simulator game that lets you design and fly your own rockets. As of writing, it contains a large and vibrant solar system consisting of 7 planets and 9 moons. The planets range from hellish death pits, to purple fuckballs, to frozen shitholes, to a gigantic bastard gas giant. The moons range from tiny captured asteroids to lifeless rocks to potentially habitable planetoids.
  93.  
  94. The game itself is robust and allows for a variety of mission types. Although the game is currently in alpha testing (0.20.1 is the current version), it is relatively complete for such an incomplete game. The main engine features of the game are largely complete, but the game is limited to sandbox mode for now. The game sees releases every two or three months on a "when it's done" scheduling basis.
  95.  
  96. Planned features for the future include dynamic weather, increased optimization, more parts and spacecraft systems, a career mode system largely based around Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space, more planets and moons, as well as more eye candy. A full planned features list can be found on the game's official wiki, and more features are added to the list every month.
  97.  
  98. >Okay, so I'm interested, is there a demo?
  99. There is a demo available based around an oldish version, 0.18.3. It's neat to play around with, but only contains the local Kerbin-Mun-Minmus system and does not have plugin or third-party parts. This is not a bad thing, as it's representative of what you'd be using as a complete newcomer to the game. Get into orbit, go to the Mun, learn a few things about orbital dynamics, and if you like it, then buy it. However, if you want the best representative current version, just pirate 0.20.1 and pay for the game if you like it. The devs are mostly bros, so they deserve the money.
  100. Otherwise, we don't care if you pirate the game, just don't go around bragging about it or whatever.
  101. I repeat, don't be a fucking tool and go around bragging about it. We don't give a shit about whatever ways you rationalize pirating, and we don't give a shit if you did. We do give a shit if you're a fucking douchebag.
  102.  
  103. >Sweet, but I can't figure anything out. Are there guides?
  104. There's a wiki with a bunch of resources, including a quickstart guide and a terminology guide.
  105. http://kspwiki.nexisonline.net/wiki/Getting_Started
  106. http://kspwiki.nexisonline.net/wiki/FAQ
  107. See the next entry for more in-depth help.
  108.  
  109. >Prograde? Retrograde? Apogee? Perigee? Argument of the ascending node? What the fuck?
  110. Orbital mechanics can sound a bit complicated, but there are a few guides to help you understand it better.
  111.  
  112. Watch this video on Youtube. Take notes if you want, but at least pay attention a bit. It's okay if you don't understand it all on first viewing:
  113. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d__hN6nqi-k
  114.  
  115. If you don't like Youtube, there's a version on the Internet Archive:
  116. https://archive.org/details/gov.ntis.ava18245vnb1
  117.  
  118. Also, Wikipedia is a great resource on orbital mechanics. You don't have to know how to calculate everything by hand, just understand the concepts involved and skim the articles.
  119. Here's a nice guide on terminology as well:
  120. http://kspwiki.nexisonline.net/wiki/Terminology
  121.  
  122. >Are there any mods for the game?
  123. Yes, the modding community is vibrant and kept the game afloat during its early days. You can find most mods on the official forums and on the official file repository:
  124. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/forumdisplay.php/35-Addon-Releases-and-Projects-Showcase
  125. http://kerbalspaceport.com/
  126. There's also /kspg/'s non-exhaustive relatively neutral mod list at the top of this FAQ. Spaceport is a crock of poorly-organized shit ruined by hundreds of 12-year-olds submitting their .craft files as plugins.
  127. Spaceport 2.0 coming eventually.
  128.  
  129. >What's MechJeb? Why is it so controversial?
  130. MechJeb is an autopilot plugin mod that allows complete automation of a ship. However, it also tends to be a crapshoot at all but the simplest things.
  131. The reason it's so controversial is that it allows new players an easy way to bypass most of the learning curve of the game, thereby stunting their growth as players, and acting as a massive crutch for their skills. Most users of MechJeb (as seen on the official forums and certain media aggregator sites) have a large tendency to be completely retarded, and have often admitted to knowing little of orbital mechanics and incapable of flying a mission without the plugin.
  132.  
  133. Anti-MechJeb players see this as an affront to the natural learning curve of the game, and believe that the easy accessibility of MechJeb (which allows new players to do major missions and planetary transfers with a single click provided they have the fuel to do so) cheapens the achievements of players who do not use MechJeb, and think little of MechJeb users.
  134. Pro-MechJeb players see MechJeb as a handy learning tool for those who are so inclined to use it that way, and as a tool to automate and add precision to routine or repetitive missions.
  135. Both sides are right and wrong, and both sides have their share of loud and noisy shitheads. Whether or not you use MechJeb is up to you, but if you're a new player who understands little of orbital mechanics or gameplay, then it is recommended that you do not use MechJeb, and instead try to learn the concepts and strategies behind the game.
  136.  
  137. HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART THOUGH
  138. PLEASE READ THIS
  139. If you use MechJeb, please do not post any screenshots of a MechJeb-enabled ship on the thread, or brag about any achievements made whilst using MechJeb. Doing so will cause shitheads from both sides of the argument to crawl out of the woodwork and lay waste to decency and civility.
  140. If you see a MechJeb argument going on in the thread, DO NOT reply to them, DO NOT acknowledge them, and instead carry on playing the game and posting constructive, informative, or entertaining posts of value.
  141.
