KMS MODIFICATION LEDGER
What changes.
Why it matters.
KMS is not presented as a mysterious preconfigured GameData folder. This ledger explains the behavior the suite owns, the upstream systems it extends, and the integration work that makes the program coherent.
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
COMMUNICATIONS AND CAPACITY
Turns RemoteTech connectivity into an operable data network.
- Continuous signal-quality and route-segment diagnostics
- Finite per-link throughput, spectrum bands, channels, and spectral efficiency
- Onboard routers, packet processors, bounded storage, priorities, and congestion
- RF and optical terminal roles with pointing, power, heat, and wear costs
- Ground-station reachability, gateway backhaul, mesh routes, and red-line map diagnostics
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
NAVIGATION AND GNSS
Makes constellation geometry, infrastructure, and service quality matter.
- Powered generic navigation receivers and transmitters
- RemoteTech-aware satellite health, reachability, and ephemeris maintenance
- Visible-satellite geometry, accuracy, and degraded-solution reporting
- JX2, Near Future Exploration, OctoSat, and original KMS constellation hardware
- Shared GNSS state across part actions, Alt+M, missions, and Mission Control
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
SCIENCE AND DATA RETURN
Connects experiments, surveys, storage, transport, and receipt into one mission loop.
- SCANsat coverage drives named-body mapping objectives
- Tarsier telescopes contribute observation, visual mapping, and SpaceDust discovery
- [x] Science! discovers custom KMS, Tarsier, DMagic, and WBI experiments
- What Do I Need? maps objectives to actual payload and communications hardware
- Persistent RemoteTech science packets complete only on verified transmission or recovery
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
MISSIONS AND CAREER
Provides deterministic missions with observable prerequisites and exact-once rewards.
- Persistent KMS mission program for Science and Career saves
- Explicit survey, relay, navigation, telescope, laboratory, resource, and return objectives
- Suppression of overlapping unaccepted stock offers without deleting accepted work
- Five-stage commercial constellation certification program
- Regional demand, availability, delivered traffic, backhaul, gateway, and SLA progression
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
PARTS AND PROGRESSION
Makes the full hardware library discoverable and useful in one technology path.
- Original KMS communications, routing, compute, storage, navigation, and science parts
- Distinct OGS-96 optical ground gateway plus Deploy-driven RF and optical terminals
- RemoteTech and GNSS roles for Near Future Exploration, JX2, and OctoSat hardware
- M.O.L.E. laboratory and experiment integration
- Legacy attachment, animation, IVA, editor, and KSP 1.12 compatibility repairs
- Technology-tree placement, costs, categories, and mission-readiness descriptions
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY
Improves observability and load behavior without reducing visual or simulation quality.
- Bounded frame percentiles, hitch rate, heap, GC, memory, physics, and part-count telemetry
- Validated KSPBurst native cache lifecycle and duplicate-runtime prevention
- Optional loader prewarm experiments with safe default behavior
- Quality-neutral scheduling and diagnostics rather than texture or physics downgrades
- Crash evidence collection, deterministic static audits, and save-aware recovery
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
VISUALS AND PLAYABILITY
Ships a controlled visual composition instead of a conflicting pile of configs.
- ClassicSpectra composition for Spectra, EVE Redux, and Scatterer
- Mutually exclusive visual-profile switching and conflict detection
- Stable full-quality atmosphere, ocean, eclipse, cloud, and plume configuration
- TAA disabled where temporal jitter affected parts and UI
- Editor, flight, testing, recovery, and placement utilities wired into one workflow
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
MISSION CONTROL
Replaces the legacy Telemachus experience with a local operations console.
- Bounded v2 telemetry API and explicit offline/loading/no-vessel states
- RemoteTech signal, delay, capacity, route, and ground-network telemetry
- GNSS, SCANsat, science, carrier, power, thermal, and readiness views
- Main-thread-safe command pump with browser/network work kept off simulation state
- Loopback-first operation with deliberate LAN pairing; no public-cloud telemetry relay
INTEGRATION PROGRAM
INSTALLER AND OPERATIONS
Makes a large KSP environment installable, testable, diagnosable, and recoverable.
- One unsigned Windows installer with the KMS payload embedded
- Official dependency acquisition with fixed versions and SHA-256 verification
- KSP 1.12.5 detection, staging, transaction backups, receipts, and rollback
- Private Cloudflare beta identity, passkeys, invitations, releases, R2 artifacts, and audit events
- Monorepo build scripts, 163 integration checks, 34 mission checks, and operator documentation
TRACEABLE BY DESIGN

The public ledger summarizes player-visible behavior. The operations library explains how to use and diagnose it, while the private monorepo retains source provenance, build scripts, test evidence, and exact configuration ownership.
