KSP 1 Suggestion/Discussion Mods that you would always recommend to new players, no matter the situation? (Read desc)

Post image
102 Upvotes

Lots of mods are dependent on factors of the user (graphics mods would need a good pc, rp1 and stuff you would need a bit of skill) but imo there are some must have mods (opm as my example)

What mods would you always recommend to new players? Obviously say the classics of KSPCommunityFixes and stuff, but also try and add some fun mods. Things that should be base game but are not, and would help newbies get used to the game?

due to switching to the URP render pipeline ksp2 Redux now has volumetric SRB plumes and new liquid engine plumes along with better eclipses and planet shadows

also new fsr and dlss upscaling makes the anti aliasing much better along with improving performance

Only one exception here in the cute little Flash-o-Meter sat (Impact! is a cool mod)

Anything that adds science to earn that requires more than just clicking the "run experiment" button is fun, be that scanning the surface of a body or shooting probes to impact in specific biomes :)

This has happened multiple times, sometimes there's up to three Kerbals there which are actually sitting in a hab module somewhere below the main capsule. If anyone knows a fix I'd really appreciate it.

KSP 1 Image/Video Finally captured an asteroid!

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

This is the first career mode save I've done in a while, and one of the contracts was to capture an A-class asteroid and put it in Kerbin orbit! The asteroid I chose, ZLP-838, was on the perfect trajectory, supposedly going to impact Kerbin, but it was going to take a while to show up. After waiting about a hundred days for it to arrive, with the probe in orbit for most of it, it finally arrived and, after some finagling, I managed to intercept it and bring it into an orbit of Kerbin.

Evidently, I underestimated how much the asteroid would mass, reducing my delta-V from 2000 m/s (just before rendezvous) to 250, which was luckily still enough to put it into orbit. Though what was more annoying was that it seems like I didn't align the center of mass, so I had to put the thrust on the engine really low for it to not keep tumbling about, which made the burns take even longer...

Not the best orbit, but better than missing it! Ignore the assorted other contract orbits.

KSP 1 Image/Video Finished building my module Interplanetary that will be headed for Duna to perform my first manned Duna Mission!

This will be a challenging mission, because I will be undocking and re docking to drop the middle tank module after I transfer its fuel while on the way to duna. Shouldn’t be too bad but this definitely takes it up a notch for me haha, thank god for quick saves. I suck at docking. I also brought backup fuel+oxidizer tanks that will give my lander 5800 DV total with just its mass.

Whether im gonna do more than 2 landings (one at Ike and one at Duna), will depend on how much DV my nuclear engines have when I do my circularization burn at Duna. As my design allows my lander to also do/help with the return maneuver.

It’s looking good though, definitely enough DV for both a Duna and Ike mission in one go!

No i haven't figured out how to launch it atop an H-II yet.

Hello!

I'd be looking for some mods to download for KSP 1, maybe some QOL stuff like the landing trajectory one, improved timewarp, and maybe minor aesthetic stuff.

Anyone got a list to suggest? No big stuff as I'm currently limited on RAM capacity :/

PlanetPort is the Pinacle of Channel Federation Engineering. ever since the Space Administration's pivot to Nuclear based ships for translunar duties, PlanetPort was founded to enable Bonaventure Class Nuclear Shuttles and Sarnus Mini shuttles to dock, refuel and to continue to places unknown

PlanetPort consists of 2 main sections. the Workside, and Fuelside. the Workside of the station is comprised of modules and solar assets from our former main Orbital Space Station, Sunbay which will house our orbital scientists and astronauts awaiting transport. the Fuelside of the station includes 5 large LH2 tanks for refueling and docking upto 3 Bonaventure Shuttles at the same time, not including the Workside Ports.
