Backports and Patches

With KSP having moved past 1.3.1 quite a while ago, there have been some mods that we have had to modify in order to keep things in working order for RP-1. These backports ARE REQUIRED for your game to operate properly.

  1. WHEN UPGRADING A MOD, DELETE THE FOLDER OF THE OLD VERSION OUT OF YOUR GAMEDATA FOLDER. DO NOT OVERWRITE
  2. BE VERY CAREFUL if you go back into CKAN as it might try to overwrite these backports and patches. DO NOT LET IT
  3. Install updated Contract Configurator -> Contract Configurator version 1.27.2 RP-1
  4. Install updated Real Fuels Backport -> Real Fuels v.12.7.3
  5. Install updated CustomBarnKit -> CustomBarnKit RO-1.1.19.0
  6. Install updated Kerbal Construction Time -> Kerbal Construction Time - RP-1 Version
  7. Install updated X-Science -> [X] Science Update 5.17-RP1v2
