KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM TUTORIAL MODS

MKS life support adds two things you need to worry about:Ĭrews need plenty of room. I'm also missing screenshots for particularly challenging destinations for bases such as Eve or Tylo. I'm using screenshots from my own saves here - but would love to get some other screenshots (or craft files) of your bases to include in the guide - because of my particular play style I'm particularly lacking in level 1 landed bases (just agroponics), level 3 landed bases (up to material kits but no further), bases permanently connected with tubes, and disconnected bases with lots and lots of different landed pieces (I tend to max out at 4). If you need precise details on efficiency you can always use the wiki here. In this tutorial I will not cover which precise parts to use - just the general different part types and strategies that you might need, and some sample craft and screenshots. MKS adds a significant level of challenge and complexity to KSP, and isn't recommended for the starting player - if you're comfortable being able to send 40 ton payloads to other planets though, this may be ideal for you, as this opens up a whole new game.

Other mods that can be of significant help whilst playing with MKS are Kerbal Inventory System, Kerbal Attachment System, MechJeb and Kerbal Alarm Clock (some of the Near-Future stuff can also help, mainly providing variety in terms of engines and suchlike).

If you then make the mission larger, you can start building a self-sufficient colony that can produce its own rockets. MKS means that you're no longer just doing exploration missions - you're going to stay at least for a while, and you have to worry about life support. They can be supplemented with Planetary Base Systems ( ) and Extra Planetary Launchpads (EPL) ( ) which I assume you have installed for the purposes of this tutorial (or at the least the purposes of screenshots here). Roverdude's Modular Kolonization Systems (MKS) suite of mods ( ) allow colonisation of other planets and moons.
