Question Part Count

[KW_]

I will be honest and say my interest in KSP slowly wavered after getting to a point were I could no longer build the things I wanted due to part count limits, hardware, software, game engines designs all have limitations, in a perfect simulation world we could build to our hearts content without issues. not expecting this or any other building type game to over come this soon, just wondering if KSA will be better than KSP in this regard.


Cheers !

One thing we know is that the maximum number of parts a vessel will be able to have is 65535.

As for how performance will scale with part count, we don’t really know until vessel building and physics is implemented and shown off in any significant capacity. There definitely seems like a lot of work is being put into the groundwork to allow for large scale construction, but only time will tell right now. But, as a baseline, I would expect a game being built from the ground up a decade and a half later by pros to perform better.

There’s the technical backdrop to my gut feeling. Thanks, Spicat.

I would like to see parts that can scale up to massive proportions so we can make space stations.
