Parts mods: there are so many good choices. Visual mods can slow game performance, so use them with caution. Scatterer and Environmental Visual Enhancements are the most common, but I don't think they are updated for KSP 1.9 yet. Visual mods improve the appearance of the game. It will let you filter parts while building ships. The Janitor's Closet: Only needed if you install many parts mods. Consider this if you find that your rockets are too bendy.

Kerbal Joint Reinforcement Continued: KSP docking port joints are often too flexible to construct space stations large craft can wobble themselves to death. Kerbal Engineer Redux: Gives more detailed information about ship statistics during construction and flight. Sets alarms so you know when to pay attention to a different ship. Kerbal Alarm Clock: An essential mod if you have multiple missions in progress. KSP isn't a competitive game so 'cheating' is okay, but I suggest you as a new player don't rely on it too much. I use it get past game glitches, my own stupid mistakes, or just to speed up boring parts of the game. You can instantly land a ship anywhere, refuel, synchronize orbits of satellites, and more. Hyperedit: A mod that lets you extend the cheats the alt-f12 already provides. You can search for ships by hashtags, rather than just by name. Helpful when flying planes long distances in the atmosphere and on long journeys to other planets.Ĭraft Manager: Improves the interface for loading ships in the VAB. Copy the KSP folder to a new folder that Steam doesn't know about so you don't risk an autoupdate breaking your mods.īetter Time Warp: Allows adjustment of time warp increments. If you use Steam, don't play directly from the Steam folder. You didn't mention what platform you are using for KSP.
