"It's still Kerbal, right? If you build a tower too tall, it's still physical-it'll fall over." Like interstellar travel, space colonies will be a later early access addition. "Maybe most importantly, colonies are pretty fun to build," Simpson said. In our PC Gaming Show 2023 Preview interview, creative director Nate Simpson described how colony resource extraction and transport can be automated, with orbital colonies interconnected across an interplanetary trade network.Īnd because it's Kerbal Space Program, you'll be designing and building your colony structures.

As more resources are transported to-and gathered by-the colony, its population will increase as the colony itself grows, offering more features until eventually they'll offer their own VAB to build new rockets.Īdditionally, orbital colonies will let you construct massive ships free from the restrictions of Kerbin's gravity, which will be a key step in building interstellar craft. By flying colony modules to other planets, players will be able to create habitats that can support a small population of Kerbals. In addition to rockets and spaceplanes, players will be able to construct entire colonies.

Creative director Nate Simpson characterized the process as a mothership concept-building multiple vessels and attaching them to a larger superproject. It'll require building massive starships in orbital drydocks, with the assistance of resources from space colonies (more on that below). Interstellar travel will involve more than just slapping a bunch of high-tech rocketry onto your shuttles. Intercept Games is incorporating a suite of future-facing speculative propulsion technology that will allow you Kerbals to venture across the void between star systems. With mechanics arriving later in KSP2's early access development, you'll be able to leave the Kerbol System for distant stars with the addition of interstellar travel.


In Kerbal Space Program 2, you'll be able to travel even farther into the final frontier. Kerbal Space Program 2 will feature interstellar travel
