- Patch #1.3.2 - 20 August 2024
Hello, KitHackers! We're back with another Patch mainly focused on game optimization and bug fixing. Check out the range of adjustments made below! PHYSICS Part breakage is now handled by FlexPhysics, instead of the old Internal Physics. Fixed the logic for detecting when struts are bracing a given part. OPTIMIZATIONS Part motion now happens separately from colliders, to avoid the (significant) cost of PhysX collider synchronization. Player RB interpolation is now kept off while the player isn't moving. Vehicle RB interpolation is now always disabled, for maximum physics performance. TX screen gauges no longer update if the view mode isn't on the player. Reduced Tape Gauge (alimeter) update rate to not happen every frame. Removed Internal Physics components from vehicles, now that Flex Physics is responsible for part breakage. VehicleFlex FX no longer use PlayableDirectors, and update t…
- Developer Update: Performance Patch Incoming - 13 August 2024
Hi Everyone, Just wanted to give a quick update, I'm aware that performance has been sub-optimal since the last couple of updates. I've noticed it myself. Just wanted to let everybody know that I'm already working on that for the next patch, and just make it clear that the current performance you are seeing is definitely below our target. There's no estimate as to when anything will be ready yet, but I have already been able to make some very significant improvements here, so we should be able to expect improved framerates soon. Cheers

- Patch #1.3.1 - 9 August 2024
Hello, KitHackers! We're back with another Patch to address some of the issues players have encountered, plus a range of tutorial fixes and quality of life updates. More updates to come soon! ROBOTICS Decouplers, Pistons and Rotary Tables now shows the not-connected warning pip if not connected to power Rotary Table Motor mode now works (tries to maintain a target rotation speed) Fixed issues with placement and updating of nodes for semi-flexible parts in the Flex physics simulation The Sym Lock option in Rotary Tables and Pistons now works. Decouplers will no longer cause parts outside their own subtree to become disconnected after detaching.

- We're in the Tiny Teams Weekend Deal! - 8 August 2024
Hey KitHackers, As you probably already know by now, we are very much the definition of a “Tiny Team”, therefore it seems quite appropriate for us to be in the Tiny Teams Weekend Deal. Working as such a small team, especially on a project this large, is a very strange experience. On one hand, it is enormously difficult, simply because of the sheer amount of work that has to get done. On the other hand, we don't have any of the difficulties that come from managing a large team, communicating design ideas, specifications and so on. There's probably a happy middle ground in team size somewhere... I guess I'm still looking for that. In KSP, the core team had about 8 people, at its peak. A lot more came and went over the years, but the team was never what you could consider large. I think that worked in our favour then, but even then, I remember having extreme difficulties with simply commun…
- Kithack Model Club from ex Kerbal Space Program dev hits full release - 1 August 2024
One of the joys of the original Kerbal Space Program wasn't just building your spaceship, it was putting it through its paces. You could plan for ages before blasting off only to find a critical flaw in your thinking meant the whole thing would blow up - quite literally - in your face. In Kithack Model Club things are considerably less explosive, but the attitude of slapping stuff together and giving it a try is very much intact. Read the rest of the story...
