Not a very prominent break, but important in rocket science none-the-less. Aside from poor structural design and outside influences such as overheating and crashing, parts never fail, and rockets can throttle down to less than 1% and respond instantly-even after spending decades in space.Since you'll probably be re-doing your launches over and over until you can figure out what's causing those pesky explosions, it's a welcome respite. It takes 2-3 minutes to guide a rocket to orbit, compared to 10-20 minutes for a real one. The main net effect is to save the player time. For example, Kerbal fuel tanks have a much higher ratio of dry mass to fuel mass, while Kerbal engines have lower thrust-to-weight ratios. This would make many aspects of rocket design a lot easier, except that Kerbal rocket components tend to be less capable than real ones to compensate. The Kerbal solar system and its planets are around 1/10 the size of the real ones.

You can choose not to rescue a Kerbal stranded in deep space and you could be technically free of conscience since they're not dead, but are instead drifting forever with nothing to do, no hope of returning home, and no snacks. Life support is not a factor, which simplifies rescues and mission planning somewhat.

Even weirder since, in 1.11 and above, you can attach and detach parts in flight.

Kerbals can still move through it without problem. Is there a giant fuel tank between a docked spacecraft and another living space? It doesn't matter. Most noticeable are docking ports, that allow transfer of fuel, power and Kerbals regardless of craft construction. To a lesser extent, the same is true of fuel (in some cases it isn't, but fuel pipes just have to connect somewhere on both sides). Components requiring/generating power will be considered connected as long as there is some physical connection between them, even if there are no visible wires.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Some minor ones involved in craft construction.

Silisko has stated on multiple occasions that he regrets sharing the so-called 'plan' and generally wishes people would stop bringing it up. Then, Nova Silisko (the person who conceived it) left the team, and the story was most likely abandoned.

Aborted Arc: At one point, there was a plan for a loose narrative connecting the Easter eggs.

This game contains examples of the following: While bugfixes will continue to come out, Squad will focus on working with Intercept Games on Kerbal Space Program 2.

On June 10th of 2021, it was announced on the game's 10th anniversary, June 24th 2021, the last content update, 1.12 On Final Approach will be released. To the surprise of almost everyone, a proper sequel simply titled Kerbal Space Program 2 was announced at 2019's Gamescom. The number of parts has risen dramatically in later releases, and the community is cranking out fanmade addons at an impressive pace on top of that. Essentially, you have to manage the entire Space Program. The third mode is full-blown Career mode, and you have to juggle a budget, job offers, your Kerbonauts and conduct Science similar to the Science mode (which used to be the old Career mode, prior to 0.24). The second version is Science, in which you have to conduct experiments in order to unlock various piece parts, as you start off with just the very basics.

You're set loose upon a space center complete with a vehicle assembly building and a launch pad, a bin full of rocket parts, ground personnel composed entirely of yes-men who build and wheel onto the launch pad anything you design no matter how crazy it is, and some astronauts to crew your creations. The game offers three game modes to suit your style of play.

Superficially similar to Orbiter, the difference between the two has been likened to the difference between making to-scale miniatures for architectural design and playing with LEGO bricks with rocket fuel in them, which you then hurl with glee at your sister note Although the Real Solar System and Realism Overhaul mods let you be more like the former. Kerbal Space Program is a game about a green humanoid species known as the Kerbals as they start a space program.
