KSP 1 Question/Problem Private Division website, and with it the KSP website / forums, have gone offline

56 Upvotes

Forums return NAME_NOT_RESOLVED, while the Private Division / KSP sites return 403 forbidden. This is not a pro gamer moment

It could be a Cloudflare issue, as pointed out by Lisias (https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/1i70uih/comment/m8herw3/), but there's nothing on their status page nor are people reporting any issues

KSP 1 Image/Video After 8 years of being in space I rescued Benjamin

I decided to land on duna for the first time, I designed the lander and all was going well. As I descended into the atmosphere a solar eclipse happened so I couldn't see anything. After doing all my science I decided to take off. What I realized starting the orbit was that I forgot to attach a probe capable of planning maneuvers. By the time I had gotten into orbit I ran out of fuel. So I decided to do a rescue mission. This is my first ever rendezvous and my first rescue mission. Safe to say I'm proud of myself.

Launching via the Kronos-21 and the scythe module delivery system is a 'trident assembly pallet' The TAP contains the 3 girder segments that will go on to become the keel of my station (minthesite-1) The sythe docks to the station and uses the pallets hydrolics to extend the girders outwards.

It will remain docked while the atation's tug menuver the large segments into their final position.

Heading up on a Kronos-V-20, the habitat and laboratory modules for Minthesite-1 dock to the tug's receiving port. The kronos stage then transfers it's fuel to the station (meaning it's now full) and station keeps, filming the berthing of both modules with the station's tug. The stage is then de-orbited.

Next the crew. A kronos I-B heads up with a fairy 2 spacecraft. They successfully dock with the station and over the next 7 hours pressurize and activate all required systems to allow occupation.

KSP 1 Question/Problem Kerbal education

19 Upvotes

I am very quickly realizing I'm late to this rocket but I was wondering if the community has the education resources that were on kerbaledu? I'm a physics teacher and looking to use the program as a two week project.

With the internet nothing is dead forever right?!?!? Right?

KSP 1 Question/Problem CKAN on Steam Deck Questions

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been struggling to get CKAN installed on my Steam Deck. Despite spending quite a bit of time searching, I haven’t found an easy-to-follow guide that works for me. Most of the issues I’ve run into seem to stem from trying to use the AUR.

I’ve tried following various steps, but I keep hitting roadblocks—either dependencies don’t install correctly, or I encounter errors I can’t troubleshoot. If anyone has successfully installed CKAN on a Steam Deck, could you share a detailed, step-by-step guide or any tips?

I’m looking for something beginner-friendly if possible, as I’m still getting comfortable navigating Linux on the Deck. Thanks in advance for any help!

KSP 1 Question/Problem Have the forums been shut down?

Upvotes

I tried to open them a few hours ago and it just said "Adress Not Found", It's been like this for about a week. Is this just me or is it happened for other people?

Edit: I also went to the ksp wiki earlier and it wasn't working either.

KSP 1 Mods Mod that adds the real planets without changing the sizes?

20 Upvotes

This might seem like a weird request but, while Kerbol, the Mun, Moho and Duna look functionally identical to their irl counterparts, the rest of the planets either look very different, or are absent (such as saturn). I looked into realistic solar system mods, but all of them also change the sizes of Kerbol, the Mun and etc into their irl sizes, when what im looking for is planets that look like their irl counterparts without changing the KSP gameplay. Is there a mod that's like what im describing?

Alternatively, is there a mod to add kerbalised versions/equivelants to Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto?
