Tutorial (Installation)
Moved original to Outdated Tutorials Archive
Valid as of MKS V0.50.4.0
For the installation of MKS you might run into some corner cases. This page navigates you through most of the problems.
MKS can be installed manually or via CKAN. It is recommended to use the manual method, since CKAN can cause inconsistencies in the installation.
Get the Installation zip from one of the USI-official sites:
USI mod catalog
Dropbox
Extract the contents of the GameData folder in the Zip into the folder KSP_INSTALLATION_DIR/GameData.
Make sure that you have the following items in KSP_INSTALLATION_DIR/GameData:
- 000_USITools
- CommunityResourcePack
- Firespitter
- Squad
- UmbraSpaceIndustries
- ModuleManager.X.X.X.dll
and that you have the following items in KSP_INSTALLATION_DIR/GameData/UmbraSpaceIndustries:
- Kolonization
- Kontainers
- MKS
- ReactorPack
If one of them is missing, then you have a first indication that something went wrong. In most cases it is better (read: faster, less error-prone) to start with a fresh KSP installation and perform a re-installation of MKS.
- delete MKS and Kontainers from KSP_INSTALLATION_DIR/GameData/UmbraSpaceIndustries
- delete 000_USITools, CommunityResourcePack & ModuleManager.X.X.X.dll from KSP_INSTALLATION_DIR/GameData
- re-install according to the above instructions
- verify that files in KSP_INSTALLATION_DIR/GameData/firespitter are consistent (no multiple dll's)
CKAN installations are not recommended and will not receive support. If you have a problem after installing MKS with CKAN, please make sure that the problem also happens in a manual installation before reporting it to the forum thread.
