: 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 has added challenges and realism, a more sandbox-style campaign increases player freedom, and slower progression is initially inspired by the first human rocket program (rocket vehicles and planes). New gameplay systems create an overall more comprehensive simulation, including in less conventionally-considered subdisciplines like behavioral health.

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

Feature Overview

• Gamified Realism: cryogenic and hypergolic propellants, engine ignition failure, ullage, engine throttle limits, single-fuel containers, fuel switch, variable fuel ratios, weaker reaction wheels, part damage and deterioration, part failures, part grades and manufacturer agencies, "PAL 5000" AI diagnostics, ISRU
• Kerbal Life: life sim with physical and psychological health, socialization, personalities, non-player agencies with crews
• Rocket Science: many new science sources, science specialization with unique tech prerequisites, repeatable experiments with time decay, new tech tree, science agencies with archives
• Career Revival [WIP]: boat docks opening, facility progression, milestones, new missions tree with optional sci-fi horror story
