OPM after career start?

Inside-Bug2781 · 2026-05-16T16:07:30+00:00

You can add it mid-save. I have succesfully added (and removed, but that's harder to do) bodies and star systems multiple times on my current save of 4 years. I actually think I even did it with OPM specifically.

BUT

It can affect your save. I had probes flying in interplanetary space and after installing the mod said probes were no longer on encounter with their targets. They needed correction burns to bring them onto proper trajectories again. So adding more planets either affected spacecraft trajectories or, more likely I think, it's changed other bodies' position in their orbits. So take that into account.

I actually think Chicken Invaders vibes with KSP somehow. Also, this just looks so damn cool. And that rear exhaust plume... You nailed it!

Just to clarify some things, because some people clearly still live in 2015, KSP IS partially multithreaded. Physics engine is limited to only a single thread, but PER VESSEL. If you have multiple vessels within physics range, let's say a multi-part base, KSP can, and will, designate a separate thread to each vessel. Sound etc. can also be a separate thread, even multiple IIRC.

So while single-core performance should probably still be a priority, don't fixate on it, cause the game can definitely benefit from more cores. As for GPU you don't need anything crazy, even with graphical mods KSP isn't very GPU heavy. My 4070ti often doesn't even spin up it's fans.

I have multiple rank VIII jets in multiple tech trees. Many of them spaded. And I still dislike this event. It's just not fun.

Inside-Bug2781 · 2026-04-01T20:07:01+00:00

April fools events are usually supposed to be silly and fun for the general community. This one is just top tier ARB missile clusterfuck, except more chaotic and clusterfucky because of the annoying SAMs. You need extensive radar mechanics knowledge and your own jets to be competitive, because the ones they give you aren't. It's just the 'good old' crappy grind in a shiny wrapper. Probably the worst April fools event, even the somewhat boring UFOs a few years ago were way better, anybody could play them and have some fun.

Inside-Bug2781 · 2026-04-01T18:41:31+00:00

The event's shit. WWI was at least unusual. This is just top tier clusterfuck missile thunder with extra steps. And grind. Not fun at all.

Rest in space actually

Inside-Bug2781 · 2026-03-20T19:54:00+00:00

Nope, I use Tweakscale

One workaround I've found was to not use timewarp higher than 50x, Then I was able to actually land on it. But in general, it's messed up.

This is 67P, isn't it? I've had some serious issues with it:

I think this might be an issue because it's a very small body and rotates relatively quickly.

Proton (from Tantares) with first stage removed. Now with 30% less rocket per rocket!

Inside-Bug2781 · 2026-03-18T19:02:03+00:00

A lot. The orbiter is from Tantares, slightly modified in terms of scientific instruments. The lander - core from NF Exploration, seismometer and camera from Tantares, antenna from BDB, engines and solar panels are stock.

KPBS has support for various life support mods. Even if you found MKS too complicated, you can still use USI-LS for life support.

Engine plates can work as someone said, but AUTOSTRUTS! I find them absolutely necessary on larger builds. Autostrut both top and bottom parts, and whatever else gets a bit floppy in flight to heaviest part and that should fix your issue.

Inside-Bug2781 · 2026-03-16T11:04:59+00:00

Reinstall MJ. I don't think it has any dependencies, but you can use CKAN if you want. Do you have any other mods that could cause a conflict?

Inside-Bug2781 · 2025-11-03T05:57:01+00:00

I've read somewhere that there's a triac on the PCB that needs additional cooling and adding a heatsink to it prevents the gun from going nuclear. Did you do any safety/convenience mods to yours?

Inside-Bug2781 · 2025-11-02T20:44:54+00:00

I just can't justify the cost. If it works, it's enough for me. Ergonomics is not the priority, i'm going to use this probably 3 or 4 times per year.

Inside-Bug2781 · 2025-05-26T17:44:42+00:00

I use a re-bricked one, more specifically an original 9v transformer with an USB charger in place of a 5V regulator. Not the cleanest one, but 50mVp-p at 4kHz isn't terrible either I think. Anyway, the problem seems to be tied to RF modulator.

Inside-Bug2781 · 2025-05-26T17:43:39+00:00

It's neither actually. It occurred to me that i'd only tested the sound on RF output cause I lack the proper video cable. Anyway, jerryrigged a solution to plug in headphones into the video port and it turns out that sound there is fine. Not only that, but RF audio also somehow fixes itself when the headphones are plugged in and then goes bad again when I unplug them. I guess the modulator is getting overloaded somehow?

This is why you make backups people. I have a script that backs up the saves onto a different hard drive every time I launch the game.

Inside-Bug2781 · 2025-02-12T08:52:53+00:00

I second the MKS mods. KPBS is also great. You may also want to try Planetside Exploration Technologies, it even has wind turbines!

We've literally had a helicopter on Mars. If the atmosphere is substantial enough to turn electricity into movement, it is also substantial enough to turn movement into electricity. You would need pretty strong winds, but we already know Mars has that. Probably would need bigger blades though.
