Games / The New Kerbal Space Program Megathread - Kraken VTOL Challenge - Thread Updated
« on: February 09, 2018, 03:07:42 PM »
Since the old megathread is dying off and I can't edit it, here's a new one.
Kerbal Space Program: Current Version 1.6
Q: What is KSP?
A: KSP is a game were you have green space men fly around the solar system, or you can make your own planes and crazy devices. There are 3 main modes, Career, Sandbox, and Science. In Sandbox you can do whatever you want without any limitations (besides computer specs), in Career you have to manage money, reputation, and kerbals and earn science to upgrade your technologies. In Science, you only have to worry about your science to upgrade tech,
Q: Can you install mods?
A: Yes, you can download the mods from sites like Spacedock, curse, and the KSP website. Once they are downloaded, place the mods into your GameData file in the KSP directory, whatever you do, DO NOT delete the Squad file in there.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: It costs $40 US on Steam, but you can get it on G2A for $7 if you want to take a chance. Making History is $15 USD, and you can buy both the game and DLC together for $50
Q: What type of specs do I need to run it?
A: I'd say at minimum you absolutely need 8gb of ram. You don't need a very good graphics card, but you need at least half a gb of VRAM. A quad core CPU is highly recommended but not necessary. I have a pentium g3200 and it runs the game alright with occasional crashes.
Q: My game keeps crashing, what can I do?
A: You can look in the logs to see if you can figure out what makes it crash, uninstall some of your recently installed mods, or you can force the game to run in either OpenGL, or DirectX 9 and 11. 11 is the most stable for me, but has more graphic bugs than the other 2.
Q: How do I launch in OpenGL/DirectX?
A: In your Steam launch parameters or the KSP launch menu, put in the following parameters:
-force-opengl For OpenGL
-force-d3d9 for DirectX 9
-force-d3d11 for DirectX 11
Q: How do I make a plane?
A: There are several vital things to making a plane. First, you need an aerodynamic body. So no ridiculous things hanging from the side like steel beams. After that, you need wings. Click on the little wing icon and weight icon while in the Space Plane Hangar to see your center of mass and center of lift. Your center of mass is yellow, your center of lift is blue. Your center of lift MUST be slightly behind your center of mass or in it in order to fly. It may not be in front of the center of mass AT ALL. If not, it will be less aerodynamic than Jeb's mother's apple pie. Third, you need batteries. This is self explanatory, but you need batteries in order to keep enough electric charge. The roosterpit already has some, but you still need extras. You don't need to worry about getting electric charge because your air breathing engine produces it. Fourth, you need an engine, it must be airbreathing, otherwise if you strap on a rocket it would need oxidizer. Fifth, you need some air intakes. Place them anywhere you want on the aircraft, as long as they are able to catch air when going straight. Finally, you need wheels. No explanation required here.
More Q&A questions will be brought up later down the line, for now lets get right into the big stuff.
NEWS:
KSP 1.6 is released, new challenge - Make a VTOL with only 4 engines, 2 vertical, 2 horizontal, all with stock parts (READ MORE).
Meet The Kerbals!
Jebadiah Kerman
Jebadiah is the first pilot out of the 4 default Kerbals you first get, and he is the only one with the badass trait which means literallyeverything nothing
Bill Kerman
Bill is the engineer, just like other engineers, he can repair wheels and extending solar panels
Bob Kerman
Bob is the scientist of the four Kermans, he has the least stupidity but the least courage. In career, he can tolerate G force, and labs can research 21x if he has 5 experience stars.
Valentina Kerman
Valentina is just like any other pilot and Jeb, except she doesn't have the badass trait. She is the 2nd default pilot and the only default female kerbal

« on: February 09, 2018, 02:29:27 PM »honestly the discord's steered away from just content creators and is now slightly more targeted at typical users with lots of discussion going on about blockland in general and gallery/builds channels. again, BCC functions as well as your discord at being able to 'hang out and talk', and if your discord doesn't have any advantages over this one, sadly it'l just bite the dust.If you really think it's going to fail stop posting in this topic and let it fail then
