This plugin is a collection of code patches for fixing bugs and performance issues in the KSP codebase, and adding small QoL improvements. Entirely new features (especially those already covered by other mods) are out of scope, as well as patches that might alter the stock behaviors to minimize potential mod compatibility issues.
This mod is meant as community project, so feel free to propose additional patch ideas by opening an issue, or to contribute with a pull request.
Compatible with KSP 1.8.0 to 1.12.5 - Available on the CKAN mod manager
Required and must be downloaded separately :
- HarmonyKSP : Download - Homepage - Available on CKAN
- ModuleManager : Download - Forum post - Available on CKAN
Installation
Installation with CKAN is recommended. Otherwise:
- Go to the GitHub release page and download the file named
KSPCommunityFixes_x.x.x.zip - Open the downloaded *.zip archive
- Open the
GameDatafolder of your KSP installation - Delete any existing
KSPCommunityFixesfolder in yourGameDatafolder - Copy the
KSPCommunityFixesfolder found in the archive into yourGameDatafolder
Individual patches can be enabled or disabled by editing the Settings.cfg file. To make sure your changes persist when the mod is updated, it is recommended to make them in a ModuleManager patch. Open the Extras\KSPCF_UserSettings.cfg.extra file in a text editor for further instructions.
While all KSP versions from 1.8.0 to 1.12.5 are supported, using the latest one (1.12.5) is highly recommended, as many patches only apply to the most recent KSP versions. When a bug fix patch doesn't apply to an older KSP version, this doesn't mean those bugs don't exist there.
User options are available from the "ESC" in-game settings menu :

Will log detected leaks and memory usage. Also seeSettings.cfgto enable advanced logging options that can be useful to hunt down memory leaks in mods. - ProgressTrackingSpeedBoost [KSP 1.12.0 - 1.12.5]
Remove unused ProgressTracking update handlers. Provides a very noticeable performance uplift in career games having a large amount of celestial bodies and/or vessels. - DisableMapUpdateInFlight [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Disable the update of orbit lines and markers in flight when the map view isn't shown. Provides decent performance gains in games having a large amount of celestial bodies and/or vessels. - CommNetThrottling [KSP 1.12.0 - 1.12.5]
Implement a throttling mechanism preventing CommNet network updates from happening every frame. When this patch is enabled, network updates will only happen at a set interval of in-game seconds (default is 2.5s, configurable inSettings.cfg). This patch will cause events such as line of sight loss or acquisition, or comm link changes to happen with a slight delay, but provide a significant performance uplift in games having a large amount of celestial bodies and/or vessels. - AsteroidAndCometDrillCache [KSP 1.12.5]
Reduce constant overhead of ModuleAsteroidDrill and ModuleCometDrill by using the cached asteroid/comet part lookup results from ModuleResourceHarvester. Improves performance with large part count vessels having at least one drill part. - FewerSaves [KSP 1.8.0 - KSP 1.12.5]
Disables saving on exiting Space Center minor buildings (Mission Control etc) and when deleting vessels in Tracking Station. Disabled by default. - ConfigNodePerf see also [KSP 1.8.0 - KSP 1.12.5]
Speeds up many ConfigNode methods, especially reading and writing ConfigNodes. - RestoreMaxPhysicsDT [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
When using physics warp, Unity will set the max physics dt to be at least as high as the scaled physics dt. But KSP will never restore it back to the normal value from the settings. This can degrade performance as it allows more FixedUpdates to run per frame. - ContractProgressEnumCache [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Prevent performance drops when there are in-progress comet sample or rover construction contracts - DragCubeGeneration [KSP 1.12.0 - 1.12.5]
Faster and more reliable implementation of drag cube generation. Improves overall loading times (both game load and scene/vessel/ship load times), prevent occasional lag spikes (in the editor mostly) and fix some issues causing incorrect drag cubes to be generated (notable examples are the stock inflatable heat shield, the 1.25m and 2.5m nose cones and the Mainsail shroud). Note that by design, this patch results in a small deviation from the stock behavior for buyoancy, aerodynamics and thermodynamics, as the generated drag cubes will be slightly different. - LocalizerPerf [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Faster and minimal-allocation replacements for theLocalizer.Format()methods, can provide significant speedup for GUI-heavy mods using localized strings. - DisableHiddenPortraits [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Prevent non-visible crew portraits from being rendered after a switch back from the map view (and other cases), causing a significant perf hit when there are many kerbals in the vessel. - IMGUIOptimization [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Eliminate structural GC allocations and reduce performance overhead of OnGUI() methods. Can provide significant performance gains when having many mods using IMGUI heavily. - CollisionManagerFastUpdate [KSP 1.11.0 - 1.12.5]
3-4 times faster update of parts inter-collision state, significantly reduce stutter on docking, undocking, decoupling and joint failure events. - LowerMinPhysicsDTPerFrame [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Allow a min value of 0.02 instead of 0.03 for the "Max Physics Delta-Time Per Frame" main menu setting. This allows for higher and smoother framerate at the expense of the game lagging behind real time. - OptimizedModuleRaycasts [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Improve engine exhaust damage and solar panel line of sight raycasts performance by avoiding extra physics state synchronization and caching solar panels scaled space raycasts results. Also prevent useless constant overhead and raycasts inModuleSurfaceFX.Update()(see PR). - ModuleDockingNodeFindOtherNodesFaster [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Faster lookup of other docking nodes. - CollisionEnhancerFastUpdate [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Optimization of theCollisionEnhancercomponent (responsible for part to terrain collision detection). - PartSystemsFastUpdate [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Optimization of various flight scene auxiliary subsystems : temperature gauges, highlighter, strut position tracking... - MinorPerfTweaks [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Various small performance patches (volume normalizer, eva module checks, fasterFlightGlobals.fetchaccessor) - FloatingOriginPerf [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
General micro-optimization of floating origin shifts. Main benefit is in large particle count situations (ie, launches with many engines) but this helps a bit in other cases as well. - FasterPartFindTransform [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Faster, and minimal GC alloc relacements for the Part FindModelTransform* and FindHeirarchyTransform* methods. - CraftBrowserOptimisations [KSP 1.12.0 - 1.12.5]
Significantly reduces the time it takes to open the craft browser and to search by name. Most noticeable with lots of craft. - OptimisedVectorLines [KSP 1.12.0 - 1.12.5]
Improve performance in the Map View when a large number of vessels and bodies are visible via faster drawing of orbit lines and CommNet lines. - GameDatabasePerf [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Faster dictionary backed version of the stockGameDatabase.GetModel*/GameDatabase.GetTexture*methods. This patch is always enabled and has no entry inSettings.cfg. - PartParsingPerf [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Faster part icon generation andPartfields parsing. - ModuleColorChangerOptimization [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Reduce the constant overhead from ModuleColorChanger - FasterEditorPartList [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Improve the responsiveness of the part list when switching between categories, sorting and searching by tag.
- MultipleModuleInPartAPI [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]

Disabled by default, you can enable it with a MM patch. Fire GameEvents onRoboticPartLockChanging/onRoboticPartLockChanged respectively before/after calls to ModuleDockingNode.ModifyLocked(), following a modification of the ModuleDockingNode.nodeIsLocked field. - OnSymmetryFieldChanged [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Disabled by default, you can enable it with a MM patch. Change theUI_Control.onSymmetryFieldChangedcallback to behave identically to theUI_Control.onFieldChangedcallback :- The callback will only be called when the field value has actually been modified.
- The "object" argument will contain the previous field value (instead of the new value).
- PersistentIConfigNode [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
ImplementIConfigNodemembers marked as[Persistent]serialization support when using theCreateObjectFromConfig(),LoadObjectFromConfig()andCreateConfigFromObject()methods. Also implementsGuidserialization support for those methods. Includes a complete rewrite of underlying ConfigNode code (in line with ConfigNodePerf) for performance, lower GC impact, and to fix some stock bugs. - ReflectionTypeLoadExceptionHandler [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Patch the BCLAssembly.GetTypes()method to always handle (gracefully) an eventualReflectionTypeLoadException. Since having an assembly failing to load is a quite common scenario, this ensure such a situation won't cause issues with other plugins. Those exceptions are logged (but not re-thrown), and detailed information about offending plugins is shown on screen during loading so users are aware there is an issue with their install. This patch is always enabled and has no entry inSettings.cfg. - DepartmentHeadImage [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
Fix administration building custom departement head image not being used when added by a mod. - ModUpgradePipeline [KSP 1.8.0 - 1.12.5]
This will save mod versions in sfs and craft files, and use those versions for mods' SaveUpgradePipeline scripts so that mods can handle their own upgrade versioning using native KSP tools instead of having to always run their upgrade scripts. - BetterDDSSupport [KSP 1.12.3 - 1.12.5]
Implement compatibility with the DXT10/DXGI specification, and support of loading additional texture formats :BC4: single channel (R) compressed 4 bppBC5: 2 channels (RG) compressed 8 bppBC6H: 3 channels (RGB) compressed 8 bpp with HDR color range (Not available on MacOS)BC7: 4 channels (RGBA) compressed 8 bpp (Not available on MacOS)R16G16B16A16: 4 channels (RGBA) uncompressed 64 bppR16_FLOAT/R32_FLOAT: single channel (R) uncompressed 16/32 bppR16G16_FLOAT/R32G32_FLOAT: 2 channels (RG) uncompressed 32/64 bppR16G16B16A16_FLOAT/R32G32B32A32_FLOAT: 4 channels (RGBA) uncompressed 64/128 bpp

For Visual Studio, right-click on the KSPCommunityFixes project > Properties > Reference Paths, add the path to your KSP install and save the changes. Closing and re-opening the solution might be needed for the changes to propagate.
Alternatively, you can do that manually by creating a KSPCommunityFixes.csproj.user file next to the KSPCommunityFixes.csproj file, with the following content :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="Current" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<ReferencePath>Absolute\Path\To\Your\KSP\Install\Folder</ReferencePath>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>Then close / re-open the solution.
Building in the Debug configuration will update the GameData folder in your KSP install, building in the Release configuration will additionally create a zipped release in the Releases repository root folder.
For incrementing the version, edit the KSPCommunityFixes.version KSP-AVC file, changes will be propagated to AssemblyInfo.cs when building in the Release configuration.
The Start action of the IDE will trigger a build, update the GameData files in the KSP install and launch KSP.
If doing so in the Debug configuration and if your KSP install is modified to be debuggable, you will be able to debug the code from within your IDE (if your IDE provides Unity debugging support).
