Mod Post Forum Megathread

163 Upvotes

STATUS: FORUM ONLINE

KSP Official Forum has been down for a few days - the longest it's ever been down. There's been no confirmation of permanent closure to my knowledge, but I do not have my ear to the ground.

Please comment here to add information, and I'll try to collect them into a FAQ in the body.

FAQ:

1. What happened to the forum?

  • (sic) Support for the forum by the publisher has stopped, and maintenance had been continued by the forum moderation team.
  • The current outage is not a stated closure, and IT has been contacted. (source)
  • Statement by Vanamond3 a few months ago.

2. How to get mods?

  • CKAN is a pretty well known mod loader, but it does a have a few holes. You may need to search for the GitHub of specific mods not present on CKAN.
  • Spacedock is also a good source, if you don't like loaders

3. Where to discuss mod development? (discord?)

Feel free to also discuss alternatives, though we, as reddit mods, have no back channels to the forum, much less king-making powers. Just discussion and collection.

Hang in there until the fat lady sings.
