Then I copy that to create several different installs, Current_1.0.4 (my normal game), Dev_1.0.4 (an install specifically for mod development tweaked to allow debugging of mods in VS), RO_1.0.4 (an install for realism overhaul) etc. just after an update I create C:\KSP\Clean_1.0.4 (or whatever) which is a complete copy of the install. I copy the entire "Kerbal Space Program" folder from the steam folder into C:\KSP with a name that indicates the version number and purpose of the install, e.g. I bought the game via Steam but I haven't played it through steam for a long time (I originally bought 0.22 just before 0.23 was released and ran those via steam but once 0.23.5 was released I started running it separately). This game wouldnt be playable in a classroom setting without heavyhanded assistance from someone who knows what they are doing.Haha ok its about even then, thanks for your input guys, ill probably use the direct one as i don’t always want to open steam or run it in offline mode, as it still interferes with the other comp if its running steam.Īs RIC said above, you don't have to run Steam at all in order to run KSP. For banjo and kazooie n&b you create vehicles to solve whatever your goal is at the moment, where as this game your first goal is to launch your rocket off the ground, then its get to the moon, then its progress further beyond the moon where the smallest detail could cause your rocket to explode and killing your astronaut. The closest game I would say is banjo and kazooie nuts and bolts but that game didnt have the detail as Kerbal Space Program. This game is really a one of a kind game, theres nothing really like it. This game is not something you can play on a short burst or a game where you can pick it up in a single class, this is a long game and rewarding due to its game design. You don't need a ton of prerequisite knowledge to get started but to get anywhere you really have to try and actually research techniques that will help you succeed in leaving the galaxy. This game is about engineering and rocket science. This game is extremely complex, high school students or college students really. This is a huge timesink, I cant stop myself. It encourages creativity but if you want to be successful you have to combine actual engineering techniques and its a blast to surpass yourself on previous runs. I love the idea of building your own rockets and getting far far far away. This is a game I played way too much, I have like 200hrs on it on steam.
