Soft dependency: Required for additional features but not necessary to run the mod.ĭependencies are usually listed in the very first post ( OP) of the mod release thread, in the " Information" tab of SpaceDock or the " Overview" tab on CurseForge.
If you don't install a hard dependency, you'll experience crashes, errors and misbehaviour of the mod. Hard dependency: Required with no exception. A distinction is made between hard- and soft dependencies: Quite a few mods require one or more other mod(s) to run properly or at all, these "other mods" are called dependencies. In fact, already posted a detailed explanation about this topic, so if you are still in doubt how it works, you may want to read it as well If you need a different mod version, open the "Changelog" and Spacedock will present every previous released mod version to you, together with the game version it was build for: On Spacedock, you can download the latest mod version via the "Download" button and the compatible game version is listed in the information panel. Most release threads contain a download link to Spacedock, CurseForge and/or GitHub) This foru m / github (searching the forum can be difficult but the mod threads contain the most informations about the mod.CurseForge (also a short preview/description and a search function).Spacedock (provides a short preview/description and you can search for mods, many mods available).In this example, the game version is 1.6.1. If you are not sure which game version you got, launch the game and take a look at the lower right corner in the main menu: If you play on 1.5.x or 1.6.x and the mod you want to install isn't available for your specific game version, you can still try an older mod version with good chances of successįor most parts of this tutorial, I'm going to use " SCANsat" as an example, for various reasonsīefore you install a mod, you should know your game version so you can get the corresponding mod version.
Keep in mind that many mods which are compatible with KSP 1.4.x, are still compatible with 1.5.x and 1.6.x. If you got KSP on Steam, it is recommend to move the game directory out of the Steam directory to prevent auto-updates! It is not possible to deactivate updates on Steam but a new game version may break a mod and/or your (modded) savegame, so you definitly don't want to update the game before you know if all your mods will still work fine or got updated. Less control over the installation processĪ few more things in general and about this tutorial
Let's not waste any time and start directly I know there are already quite a few tutorials about this topic but I want to write my own anyway
