same here, I hate the dumb rustic kerbals theme

I wouldn't say I hate the look, I just don't think it's the best choice. The kind of dilapidated and basic look of the island airfield would be more fitting than wooden stuff. The trailers work fine though, it's mostly the VAB and other assorted log cabins that are a problem.

Is it wood? I thought it was rusted sheet metal or something. I agree that a log cabin VAB would be pretty dumb.

I would much rather it looks like some government decided to create a space program with no funding at all, over "ye olde space programme"

It would have to be very uniformly rusted and unusually rusted, at that. No, I'm certain beyond reasonable doubt that it's supposed to look like wood. Like I said, that's the only bit I have a problem with to be honest. The trailers and shoddy prefab buildings are actually rather appropriate. The VAB would probably do better to match, maybe like a dilapidated warehouse that has clearly just been rotated 90 degrees to rest on the short side.

Buildings don't work like that.

Yes I know.
That's what's so Kerbal about it.

I'm not sure you two know how buildings work.

I beg to differ.

Does the VAB have to be a closed building at the beginning at all? It could just consist of some precariously stacked scaffolding.

[BigD145]

No, ultimately space craft need to be built in as clean a place as possible. Airplanes are also not built outdoors. They take time to build and if it rains during construction your internal components will be ruined. Heck, there's a fighter jet that can't even operate in rain.

We're talking about KSP though: they just pop rockets almost instantly.

[Aseaheru]

Unless you have THAT mod.
Or you choose to wait between launches.

from an enclosed VAB and SPH.

Could still be "open" as in having no walls.

This is not a game that cares about small details like that if it gets in the way of being fun. See: the way fuel works.

nah, it may be reckless, but it ain't about garbage cans in space. all the parts are sleek, efficient and purpose built. That barn sticks out as a sore thumb.
