It's not .24. It's a special patch numbered .23.10...

It's in experimentals...
Guys, the average time between experimentals and a KSP release is 9 days.
It's almost here.

Whoo.
Is that mean or median?

Mean, or at least it was before 0.23 came out. I think 0.23 was 10 days.

Netcraft confirms it's out today?

Jk

[MarcAFK]

About to restart career mode with a buttload of mods that probably won't mesh well together;
Ferram aerospace;
Deadly reentry;
Remote Tech;
Kethane;
Kerbal attachment system;
Infernal robotics;
And finally;
Mechjeb.
Note I have never used any of these, in fact haven't installed any addons except for parts.
Kodspeed my poor doomed kerbals.

EDIT; And Tubes if if it's compatible, Kethane needed a bit of patching to support career mode, the rest seem to be integrated into the tech tree

[LoSboccacc]

Mechjeb and remotetech cause some control issues on probes for me

Note that I didn't try most recent version

Scott Manley uses all of these mods and a few others besides. I don't think that you have much to worry about.


On the subject of mods, is it possible to have a mod applied to one save but not the others?

...yes? But it would require you to move the mods in and out as needed when loading the different saves.

Easier to just copy the KSP folder to a new location and run different builds in different folders.

There's your problem. Seriously, why would you expect mods to work unupdated?

Same goes for kethane, which is integrated with career.

[LoSboccacc]

Well I can't restart my career every time something gets a breaking update.

You can usually update mods on an existing save. Sometimes it causes issues but generally it works fine.

[BigD145]

Copy save and mods. Update mods. Play backup save. Does this break your save? Then revert.

(The reason I was asking was because I knew it was possible with some games. For instance, Dwarf Fortress, which is the only game I've used extensive mods for.)

Noted.

[BigD145]

In DF that's kinda true but not really. DF itself is so tiny you just make separate folders for each mod. Most mods require a new world anyway. KSP treats mods very differently.

It would be nice if they had a launcher system similar to CK2. Just check the mods you want to be active during that play session and uncheck them if you don't like them.

I believe they said that they were working on a mod manager at some point. Not sure how that turned out.

[BigD145]

I'd rather see official mod managers at release, not now. Mods work, so it's not vital.
