This game wouldnt be playable in a classroom setting without heavyhanded assistance from someone who knows what they are doing. For banjo and kazooie n&b you create vehicles to solve whatever your goal is at the moment, where as this game your first goal is to launch your rocket off the ground, then its get to the moon, then its progress further beyond the moon where the smallest detail could cause your rocket to explode and killing your astronaut. The closest game I would say is banjo and kazooie nuts and bolts but that game didnt have the detail as Kerbal Space Program. This game is really a one of a kind game, theres nothing really like it. As a result KSP physics are still single threaded. My computer has X cores, yet KSP runs at a low framerate.
KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM GAME ONLY RUNS WITHOUT MODS MODS
This game is not something you can play on a short burst or a game where you can pick it up in a single class, this is a long game and rewarding due to its game design. And even a 64bits game can run out of memory when too many mods are installed. You don't need a ton of prerequisite knowledge to get started but to get anywhere you really have to try and actually research techniques that will help you succeed in leaving the galaxy. This game is about engineering and rocket science. The Kerbal space program is a great game.The open world is very big and there are a lot of possibilities.You can fly to the mun, build ISS, build your own rocket or ssto.You can use science method to build rockets.There are many interesting scenarios.In game there are a three modes: career mode, science mode and sandbox mode.I liked the sandbox mode because nothing stops you to do what you.
This game is extremely complex, high school students or college students really. This is a huge timesink, I cant stop myself. It encourages creativity but if you want to be successful you have to combine actual engineering techniques and its a blast to surpass yourself on previous runs. Download on Curseforge or Github or SpaceDock. I love the idea of building your own rockets and getting far far far away. This is a game I played way too much, I have like 200hrs on it on steam.
