Now that's a neat thing. I told you egg-shapes are the future. B)

 

I have a fuzzy question for you fellow KSP folks. How do you handle version changes? I for one always revert back to default, later adding the mods which, nowadays, need a few days to get adjusted. So for some time, I'm purely on stock KSP.

I've got a parent folder, a list of installed mods and a subfolder for the last two major versions.

 

But I've found that, as long a Squad doesn't pull shenanigans like the "new part.cfg" stuff, any mod parts can be used in newer versions.

It's the modules that may suffer the most from version changes, but they tend to get updated rather quickly.

 

 

 

- Edit:

 

Still haven't tested 0.21 for reasons of immense addiction potential. There's a "career mode" plugin now...*Shudder*

[CoolP 283]

Interesting. So you always keep at least two versions?

 

Oh I'm very excited about that career mode. I guess my career will last at least.. one or two starts.

I always do a fresh start in a new KSP folder.

 

Most of the time, mods either still work or get updated quickly.  I do keep the old version in its own folder, to copy over any ship designs I want to keep, and to revert to if there are major problems with the new version.

Basically yes.

 

Not that I use the older one, but it serves as a container for old mods.

[CoolP 283]

Makes sense. I guess I will do it the same way. Well, so far, I've been lucky with every version progress, but you never know.

 

Must say that the modding community is amazingly fast by the way. You guys are right.

[Bjoern 1,165]

I've made S-IB parts.

Anyone?

[CoolP 283]

Just give me some time to test.  :smile:  Long-ish but funny description that is. But I do suggest to give the folks a tl;dr version of it. Just in case.

 

Edited. Wow, that's a huge ship. I'm still on the smaller ones but the new VAB will house this one now.

[Bjoern 1,165]

Nope, they have to read EVERYTHING.

 

Other than that, no surprises in there.

[CoolP 283]

So Bjoern did you try 0.21 yet? I've found that new astronaut academy to be quite a good idea. Especially when it comes to the stats of the folks. :biggrin:

[Bjoern 1,165]

Yup. I'm merrily working, err....playing through Mission Controller X' "Stock" camapign. This plugin finally gave KSP a purpose!

[CoolP 283]

This one? http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/34026-0-20-2-Mission-Controller-v0-10-%2806-24-2013%29-ALPHA

 

In the meantime, they've already posted the first 0.22 items. Didn't have time to read it yet though. :Yawn:

[Bjoern 1,165]

No, the extended version.

 

 

Squad says that .22 will have a tech tree. I see a massive mod reorganization coming up...

[CoolP 283]

Squad says that .22 will have a tech tree.

What does that mean (in layman's terms)? :huh:

[Bjoern 1,165]

*Sigh*
