First time buying KSP and ive heard the price drops every so often on the ps store, figured it must drop this friday right? Its not expensive but $40 is nothing to scoff at.

After barely surviving a scrape against the atmosphere to slow down, I launched this high dV rescue craft from the woomerang and intercepted my Moho craft on an elliptical polar orbit, had all 3 crew float 1 km to the rescue craft, before safely bringing them down with all the science from Moho's surface. Was a pretty fun mission 🤣

I found a workaround I haven't seen posted. If you use your keyboard to hit the cheat menu (alt+F12) you now have full mouse support. Just move the cheat menu off screen with your mouse and voila, you can play the game fully with mouse and keyboard. Have fun!

Edit: must be in "simplified" mode under settings. There's 3 options, cursor, radial, and simplified. Seems it only works in simplified.

Also PS don’t say it can’t be done because I was able to land a booster and also get the second stage to orbit. just wanted to know that before you come and say oh well it can’t be done without mods and console. You can’t have mods. I just wanna see if anyone else has done this so I can maybe get a tip on how to do so.

Two weeks ago that my reusable and expendable safe file which had all my awesome Partially reusable stock crafts as well as replicas of rockets like the Saturn five, SLS ,and space shuttle ,as well as the SR 71 blackbird which crashed on my PS4 version. So a week later I realize there’s a PS5 version of the game. So I install that version instead and I start a new safe file called “new beginnings“. Where I basically re-created rockets from the mercury program through Apollo, even re-created the Titan, three rocket to launch my viking-1&2 inspired spacecrafts Called Duna-1&2 to the surface of Duna for the first time. However While I was waiting for the rocket to load onto the pad, the game crashed. For added detail the rocket was over 109 parts. Now at first I didn’t think nothing of it because on the PS5 version crashes only occur very rarely unlike it’s PS4 buggy counterpart that would crash every 5 minutes depending on the craft size. So I thought to myself, OK no biggie if anything I’ll just reopen the safe file again and I can continue on my merry way, right? However, once I booted up the game again, I clicked on that safe file and it crashed again just by clicking on that save file. At first, I was thinking OK don’t panic yet, let’s see what happens if I try this again. So I try three more times the same thing happens.

The thing that is is really annoying is I spent weeks and weekends trying to rebuild everything from my last save file that I at least had for a year and a half, and this was on the PS4. and building the same rocket is fun the first time but by the third time it just gets annoying, especially knowing why bother and making it again if that safe file is just going to meet the same demise a week later and I’ll just lose everything in the snap of the finger I really don’t wanna have to rebuild everything that I spent three whole weeks and entire weekends and days on just for all to go to waste because of some horrendous bug. And here’s the crazy thing that previously file I had on my PS4 lasted a year and a half this safe file only lasted me and I quote three whole weeks! Three weeks I rebuild and even build some newer rockets just so I can never fly them again which really just makes me feel hopeless about even wine to start all over knowing that that if I do start over that that safe file I start over on my meet the exact same fate a week later and also this all happened on the PS five version of the game that runs more smoothly and is almost running as smoothly as the PC port of the game and yet I lost everything in two weeks but the most buggiest most horrendous port of KSP on PlayStation 4 lasted a year and a half. Which is really just made me feel hopeless in about the game in general. I’m still very upset by all this. If there’s any possible thing I could do to recover the safe file please let me know. Or at the very least if I do start a new safe file if there is a way to prevent another corruption from ever happening like that to me again otherwise I might not play the game on console ever again. I’m sorry for the extremely depressing post and thank you in advance. If this has ever happened to you before, please let me know. I would like to relate to someone about this.And everyone have an amazing day

Been playing since 2018 on Xbox One and have steadily got better at the game, but am now finding the frame rate struggles when building larger ships in orbit as the part count is getting larger. Is it worth upgrading to a Series S or X to improve this and are there any other improvements such as better textures or is it basically the same visually?

EDIT: Thank you all for your help. I'm going to redesign some of my ships to reduce the part count on my ships to make the experience better as there was definitely things I was doing that weren't helping like having 8 tiny solar panels when 1 RTG would probably do. When I hit a new build limit I now know that my preferred next step of buying even a Series S will improve the experience for me. I'm not really interested in moving to PC although I recognise the reasons people recommend it.

How do I build a fully functional starship as they can't do the belly flop when I build them

I always wanted an Ariane 5 but they always flip out at 5km. So I built one using throughobread srbs and 3 of the 18 ton rockomax tanks 2 enabled and all full of fuel and a 9 ton tank and a skipper then you just build the regular second stage and set the srbs to 80% and you can send 12 tons or more to LKO. also can go to minmus and mun easily.

I can’t figure out what the correct transfer window is. Either I follow the launch window planner or phase angle planner, my craft and Moho end up on basically opposite sides of its orbit. When I do get a very small window where I encounter Moho without a large mid course correction my capture burn at Moho is ~7500dV.

Anyone have some advice or a good tutorial to follow? I tried the steps on Matt lownes from a couple years ago but still can’t figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: my craft has ~12000dV in LKO

I want my Kerbin to have beautiful clouds and textured but right now it just doesn’t. Is the only way to have this happen through mods?

how do i turn snap on i cant builf properly without it cheers x

Please answer why nobody else really seemed to be using this

I promise this isn't faked, I changed my starting throttle settings and got this screen for the first time in over 5 years of playing...

Went to launch a rocket and this is what my screen did, I've played on both pc and console for years and never seen this. Unfortunately it caused the game to revert to a previous quicksave and delete my current. It also went back into the past and killed Jeb 😢 Playing on hard so this sucks losing him

So, I'm on minmus, and I cannot switch kerbal to get them all back in the rocket, so I'm kinda stuck lol

Been trying to test the hammer rocket booster at the launch site. The requirements are to be on kerbin and at the launch site. I have checked to make sure both these requirements are met every time and I have activated the booster through staging and by selecting run test and have had no progress. The picture attached is my current set up to make sure the booster does not leave the launch site. Let me know if you have any suggestions that might help.

This is infuriating. It does some things, but is missing all the critical functionality of actually being able to... PLAY THE GAME.

Before enhanced edition released there was a very buggy completely broken console port just called kerbal space program. If you bought it during like the month it was available for purchase could you still play it even if it was removed from the store?

Squad has clearly forgotten about console, even though plenty of people use it as their main way to play. I think we could start a movement similar to #fixtf2 like someone else suggested if someone could organize it

How do I backup my saves on Xbox

Is there a way of getting more lunch sites without DLC

I think gaining science is too easy is there any way I can make it harder and still fun.
