There was a mod that took a lot of the pain out of taking off/landing/intersecting astral bodies and so on but in many ways having that automated takes out a lot of the point of it but conversely if you don't use it you need to sit down and watch hours of tutorials before anything starts making even remote sense and then trying to do something more complex than getting a rocket into a stable orbit would be nigh on impossible imo..
It's worth some few quid but not what they're asking and the last time I played they only had the most rudimentary of gameplay elemtns outside of the sandbox environment.
It's a sandbox space sim and not overly arcade like so there's a lot you need to know about the basic physics involved in rocketry but you don't need to know much about engineering and air resistance, so it's definitely not pick up and play and most of the fun comes from it as a physics simulator. This means the game is either worth its cost at €5 to you or €25 depending on how interested you are in these topics.
It's Goat Simulator for intelligent people basically. 0 -

I enjoyed tinkering with it for a week or two. Felt quite awesome to finally land on the mun, place my flag and have a look through space at Kerbal but a lot of that sense of achievement was tempered through using the autopilot mod and I know that I'd have never ever ever have put in the man hours and I imagine numerous failed attempts required to have flown it manually.
Each to their own obviously. I bought it during the last sale as a wildcard. I think at the time I bought it for $25ish and I would have been happier in retrospect if it was maybe half that. I think it's a bit pricey for what it is.0 -

Yeah, I can appreciate that. Without mods it's a bit mad, I'd recommend everyone have at least a mod that shows deltaV for the various rocket stages in and out of atmosphere just to save you some work with a calculator. The autopilot mod is ok so long as you only use it to do things you've already done manually and even then landings should probably be manual (to make you earn them).
I think most of the problem is that this is really a game for a very specialist audience that has gained perhaps a bit too much popularity and a lot of people are picking it up who really aren't simulation gamers and don't really want to put in loads of hours just learning how to play.
I think a good comparison would be some of the better military flight simulators. If you just want to fly around shooting down the enemy within a couple of minutes as someone new to flight sims, these are really the wrong games to buy despite being excellent games at what they do, because for most of them you actually do need to quite a lot about how to actually fly a plane and your hand isn't going to be held. Versus something like War Thunder where in Arcade mode you can throw around planes without needing to care about the laws of physics.
