Installation:
Step 1: put the "ProbePartsPlus" folder into \Kitten Space Agency\Content
Step 2: add the three lines below to manifest.toml with any text editor

[[mods]]
id = "ProbePartsPlus"
enabled = true

Features 3 Probes: Sputnik, Luna, and Vega
All 3 Probes are set up with connectors for the in-game ship editor!
To build in game use Shift + E
or View > Debug > "Editor Toggle" (second option from the bottom)
"Enable Connecting" allows ksp-like building, "Enable Snapping" allows you to surface/radial mount.

In addition to the Probes, we all saw our favorite youtubers playing with the Apollo CSM and Gemini 6a featured in prior builds.
With some minor tweaks I got the original Rocketwerkz Apollo CSM and Gemini 6a reconnected for you all to admire and play!


Features Earth, Moon, and Venus to explore.

Transitioned this mod into "ProbePartsPlus" with update 1.3!
Now featuring historical spacecraft Sputnik, Luna-2, and Vega. All set up with properly placed connectors to utilize the in-game ship editor. Slap an engine on these bad bois and take Sputnik where it was never designed! or make a scrapyard masterpiece combining them all into one mega-ship!

Built In-Game with connectors:​

*scales tweaked in building editor, does not represent default probe sizes, Sputnik is properly smaller, Vega is larger.

Future plans:

  • Historical probes: Voyager, Mars-3, Mariner, Pioneer, Viking, Juno, Galileo, Magellan, Cassini, New Horizons, Hubble, James Web, JUICE, ect...
  • Custom probe cores: classic hexagon/octagon, cube-sat, pioneer-esk cylinder, return capsule, truss structures
  • Busses and adapters (Hex/Octa to 1m and .5m circle)
  • Smaller vacuum engine
  • Reaction wheels/gyros (RCS without the effects?)
  • Radial mount antenna and solar panel parts
