save and load rockets

[darsie]

Let us save and load rockets we build. Now we have to build them from scratch to reuse them or change something, right?

This is still stopping me from playing KSA. If there's good reason not to implement this now, ok. Otherwise, please consider doing it. I've been to some planets/moons (Phobos, Deimos, Mars?, Venus, Jupiter?) with the stock rocket with crazy delta-v (which is good for testing) and now idk what to do. I'd like to build rockets, calculate delta-v, ...

Keep in mind that the “vehicle builder” is still just a debug menu. I wouldn’t expect RW to add a fleshed-out saving and loading system until the builder becomes more finalized.

Also, I’d argue that there isn’t a huge focus on recreational play yet. An effort to refine user experience- such as adding a DV calculator, save/load system, UI simplicity, etc- isn’t really prioritized.

Nevertheless, (if i’m not misremembering) a basic saving system akin to the one you seek was present in past versions. Maybe it’ll be reimplemented in some form soon?

By calculate delta-v I meant ... umm ... calculate delta-v ... myself ... with a ... you know ... calculator ... with buttons and a display. Or some code I (ask AI to) write.

The savevehicle and loadvehicle commands are still listed in the console but I can't test them at the moment because I can't actually build anything without it crashing on me.

savevehicle and loadvehicle work sometimes for me... Half the time the save seems to corrupt and crash the game when it attempts to load.

Ahh, wonderful. So it just needs fixing, not implementing. Didn't work for me, either, debian Linux, KSA 4057. I could try older versions:
ksa3848
ksa3883
ksa3904
ksa3916
ksa3942
ksa3957
ksa3969
ksa3999
ksa4036
ksa4057
