: K . S . R e - [Redux]

K. S. Re- is a stockalike redesign of the base game experience, aimed at players of all levels, from beginner to veteran.

Spaceflight is more realistic, a sandbox-style campaign increases player freedom, and slower progression is initially inspired by the first human rocket program (Opel-RAK rocket vehicles). New gameplay systems create an overall more comprehensive simulation, including in less conventionally-considered subdisciplines.

The project has been in development for many years, starting from KSP beta and continuing into the sequel, currently targeting Redux beta.

Feature Preview

• Gamified Realism: a range of changes make spaceflight more realistic and challenging, at times similar to the Realism Overhaul mod in KSP, but more gamified and accessible for beginners. Physics remain unchanged, propellants and propulsion are redesigned, a new approach to VAB assembly uses single fuel switchable tanks, plus variable part damage and complete ISRU system.
• Kerbal Life: life support simulation with physical and psychological damage, kerbal relationships, personalities and non-player agencies
• Rocket Science: expanded science system with new sources, specialization and tech prerequisites, repeatable experiments with time decay, new tech tree and experiment records
• Career Revival [WIP]: ksp career gameplay restoration (wip), boat docks opening, facility progression, milestones, new missions tree and optional sci-fi/horror story
