THE CHANNEL:
This channel is about Kerbal Space Program and can consist of SSTO building tutorials and rocket building tutorials. Some times the videos contain bad language and adult humor but on a low level. In these videos no planet is safe as we can explore space together by landing on places like Duna and Jool and build large Duna colonies or orbital space stations. Also, Interplanetary SSTO builds seem to be a hot topic in the KSP community so I will be touching on those as well. I also build SSRT space craft. These are fun to build and easy to fly! Warships or space warships are one of my favorite things to make. Stock weapons can be very challenging and so when building them over time , you get to see the evolution of the designs. Same thing with the Warships. They get better and better with each new design.
Now , I know it's considered cheating but Kraken drives are a fun way to put things like warp drive ( like in Star Trek ) and or hyper drives ( like in Star Wars ) in your Kerbal space program game. These game mechanic loopholes are fun to figure out as you find out how they work and how to incorporate them into your star ship design.
Everything from Outposts on far away moons and Mining Stations around asteroids and comets, you name it I've ether built it or it's on my to do list! I still haven't really explored things like building SpaceX starship or any of the NASA spacecraft, and I think that's because it been done to many times. Recreations of spacecraft can be found almost everywhere on CZcams now and so making yet another one seem redundant. Only if the spacecraft recreation is of one that I loved as a kid will I even attempt to build it. Like the Apollo Moon Lander, or the whole Apollo rocket! Now that rocket was cool!
Many people have ask me if I'm ever going to wear my Mandalorian helmet ever again for my videos. And , yes. when the time is right, and I get a new wabcam, I will be dawning the helmet once more!
Thank you everyone! ... This is the way.

Good to see the interface on TURD is still the same. That passenger jet looked sweet.
Advanced modding tips (I think this would make a good followup video):
- You can potentially find more mods to use if you add earlier versions of the game to CKAN's compatible versions checklist (its under settings). Generally, I find anything from 1.8.0 onwards still works fine in 1.12.x, unless the mod itself had a bug in 1.8.x.
- Some modders don't let their mods get indexed by CKAN. Checking out the forums and Spacedock is a good way to find these mods. I generally prefer the forums, since the info most modders provide on Spacedock is minimal, and there's little to no feedback there. Meanwhile, the forums are a great place to get more info, and more importantly, ask questions and report bugs.
- Some (one, really, but they put out some mods that are really good, including some you've used, Vaos, i.e., simple construction) modders prefer Curseforge. Curseforge often has a lot of the same mods you can find on other places. It is slightly better for discoverability compared to Spacedock or the forums (still not as good as CKAN, which is the gold standard), but has dogshit filters (Spacedock has none, and the forums are just not able to have that feature very effectively). One important note is that Curseforge has an app that on the surface, sounds very similar to CKAN, and could even work for other popular games. But DO NOT USE IT. It is borderline malware (I don't think it actually is, but it is so bad you could be forgiven for thinking it is malicious). There are likely compatibility problems with CKAN, and if you try to uninstall it, there will be garbage left behind. You are better off manually installing anything from the Curseforge app.
The most frustrating part is modders who block CKAN. There are even several mods I used to regularly install through it that have since been removed. It was so convenient, and now is less so. It makes me sad.
Have never used CKAN before, I like the control over what bits of mods you want that manual installation gives you.
Thanks
CKAN does give you that same control. It'll offer you optional configs if avaliable, and if not, you can still do manual configs (like in Snacks, there's Air and Stress configs that you have to do manually), but they won't break CKAN or your game.
Honestly, I started out doing manual installations, and then learned just how powerful CKAN is, and I never looked back. I only manually install if the mod is like, one I really enjoy, but expressly is not on CKAN. And yeah, you can mix CKAN and manually installed mods just fine.
Trust me, give it a try, you will slap yourself for not having tried it earlier, it saves you so much time and hassle.

@@ComradePhoenix how many copies of MiniAVC.dll are swarming in your GameData?
Oh hey, Spartwo. It's CanIChangeThisLater
Probably worth checking out Lazy Painter... I hear the author of that mod is very cool and smart and handsome.
And it can be installed via CKAN.
It's you, isn't it?
SSTO interaction KSP VAOS is the GOAT
I am impressed with the TURD capabilites. You can make a brand new looking jet or an old used craft such as a traning ssto that has been used for a very long time, and other crafts as well. I am impressed on how this opens up just that additional detail that really brings a craft to life.
As I am stuck with a console I know too well the pain of not having mods.
Anyways thank you for the informative video that at some point I can hopefully use as well.
Can you please still do an individual video for the two crafts you have breafly shown.
Thank you so much! This was super helpful. I somehow play KSP but am not very PC game savvy when it comes to modding.
Thank you so much!!! Every time I try to find out how to use mods in ksp, I am just told "use ckan" with no explanation. Thank you for taking the time to finally explain this to me.
Thanks for this VAOS, always wondered how CKAN worked, I've always done it manually
Omg TURD works thank you so much i was so confused with it.
❤❤❤❤
Great explainer! Thanks man
Thank you for the video, I found it very interesting and helpful, now I can download mods without errors
Oh yeah, great see more info on the turd
Yaaaayy mod time
Keep going with the outpost series Matt Lowne hasnt uploaded in ages either
love the co commentary, TURDDD
Alpaca sent me here!
@vaos: I found a subreddit post that says for Chrome color issue, it says to turn up the reflections setting in TU settings (there should be a tab in game settings according to the post).
Costarring: Darkethena as Hecklefish!
@Vaos: YT suggested this vid in my main feed, but I haven't clicked the bell. Now my SSTO explodes if I land on the night side.
...Interesting name for that first mod.
I usually go to the github repo and install from there.
With Blackrack's cloud mod, does the 5 dollars include updates or do you need to subscribe to the patreon again to get updates?
There is a setting in the graphics menu of the game that you have to change, I cant remember what it is, i think it has something to do with reflections or reflection refresh rate or something. I've seen the problem before and I think that is what you have to do to fix it.
Did you have to turn off Astronomers Visual Pack and Planet Shine to get Volumetric Clouds to work?
This video is amazing, however having some difficulties with turd, when I right click on a part it says that the texture set is not found. And when I open the part recoloring menu it's just blank and cannot be dismissed. I have turned on advanced tweakables. Any ideas anyone? Thank you
If you have followed the video to the letter, then probably, more then likely another mod interfering with turd. u might have to start on a clean install and find out which mod is messing everything up. 😢
how do you get those steam cards thingy
no clue
I wish i could get mods, i play on xbox
what is the mod that makes engine flames looks more realistic?
Waterfall
I have ksp without steam...are there issues with modding
no, steam is just acting as a downloader for ksp. The game will be identical
☝️☝️☝️
hey!
Bro what?
MODS!?!?
Blud just found out about ksp mods💀
Linux has entered the chat
Don't worry, it is one command (unless you use the AUR)
Vaos: "what's a linux?"
@@ComradePhoenix didn't watch the full video
@@Sir_Trollman I did
Well I didn't think he would like my comment
I am using win7 😂
🫡
I'm using Win10 now, but I was using CKAN with Win7 for years, no problem. Automating install made it so much easier, that I added things I wouldn't have otherwise.
I use a Mac, and CKAN _really_ sucks. It's more like CKAN't
Why did you named this way? There is nothing to do with modding, only installing mods.
Ok, I realize English isn't your first language, but installing mods is by definition, modding.
