my dude are you playing ksp1 without mods?
I played a tiny bit of it, then installed the whole RSS suite, got overwhelmed, then just gave up and started reading rocket science. (But the book I got isn't really helpful except that it explained how orbits and transfers work, I would have had no clue how to do something like raise my altitude with two burns or perform a Hohmann transfer otherwise, everything in space is scary and confusing and behaves the opposite of how I'd expect but seems obvious afterwards.)
Damn, wish I had a newer version of the volumetric clouds mod. That looks amazing.
, Even.
I haven't seen anyone talk about it after the science update so I imagine not, it probably performs better than it did but that's all. I plan on giving it a shot after the resource update but that is still a ways off with how long the science one took.
People will talk about a game either because it's an amazing game that you want to talk about and recommend to your friends and join in communities and stuff, OR because it's an absolute trash fire that is fun to point and laugh at how much of a train wreck it is. (A lolcow game, if you will.) KSP2 was the latter before, which is why people were talking about it, but it's gotten steadily patched and content added, so it's no longer the latter, but not yet the former, so it's in this dull area where it's not fun enough to actually play a lot of, but not comically bad either. Hence, nobody has any reason to talk about it right now.
Sounds like they were essentially writing a graphics mod over the core of the original game and got lost in the weeds.
