Build a precise Kerbal Space Program troubleshooting note

Record the variables that change the correct support route. Your entries stay in this page until you choose to copy the note; they are not uploaded or saved. Never enter passwords, recovery codes, payment details, or another player's personal data.

Suggested next step

Record the exact symptom and compare the current official support instructions before changing data.

Build a reproducible stock report

The KSP forum guide distinguishes stock and modded support and asks users to include the build and operating environment. It names buildID.txt, readme.txt and the main menu as ways to identify the version, and explains when craft or save files are relevant.

IssueAttach only if relevantFirst classify
Craft will not behave as expectedScreenshot and the specific .craft fileBuild, OS and whether the craft used mods
Career/save problemA copy of the relevant save only if support asksBuild history, update timing and stock/modded state
Crash or launch failureOutput/player log and crash log if generatedOS, architecture, storefront and reproducible trigger
Mod-specific failureMod list/version and clean reproduction detailsUse modded support, not the stock-only forum

Keep the upload safe and useful

The forum guide mentions sharing files through an upload service. Treat saves, logs and screenshots as potentially private; inspect and redact them before posting. Include the version and a concise reproduction instead of uploading an entire installation.

  1. Confirm this is Kerbal Space Program 1 and note whether the install is stock or modded.
  2. Record the build shown on the main menu or in the installation's buildID/readme file.
  3. Write a short, ordered reproduction and what you expected versus observed.
  4. Add OS, architecture, storefront, basic specs and update history requested by the support guide.
  5. Attach a craft or save only when it materially reproduces the issue; preserve an untouched backup.
  6. Inspect logs/screenshots for usernames, paths, account data or unrelated private content before linking them.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cover modded installs?

The linked guide is specifically stock/unmodded PC support; modded installs should use the separate modded-support route.

No. Follow the support guide, attach only a relevant copy when requested, and preserve your original privately.

Does this worksheet inspect the KSP install?

No. It only formats details manually entered in the browser.
