Again, if that is not the case, revert to the beginning of the tutorial. Your saved games should all be there as usual. The last thing you need to do is to check that the junction has been correctly made by launching the game. If it isn't the case, start everything from the beginning and make sure you do exactly as explained in this guide (don't forget to delete the "pseudo folder" that was created before you start over). You can see that some sort of "pseudo folder" named "saves" has been created where the original "saves" folder was before. What you have just done is called a directory junction. Also thanks to OdatNurd for his help on the OS X and Linux parts, and to Big Al for some tips about Microsoft OneDrive. Many thanks to the creator of this guide his tutorial helped me a lot. However, tools like Junction can be used to reproduce the desired effect. NOTE : This does not work on Windows XP since the "mklink" command we will use does not natively exist on this OS. Also, the Cloud can be used between different platforms since the save files are treated the same way regardless of what OS you are using. These steps will have to be repeated on each computer on which you play your KSP saved games. I prefer Dropbox since it works on all platforms and is free. This tutorial is quite short and very simple it only requires you to have Dropbox (or any similar program) and to enter a command in your computer's Command Prompt/Terminal. A few people have found ways to make a home-made Cloud for KSP, but none of them have made a Steam Guide for it, so I decided to do it myself. I apologize if I have undersold the greatness of KSP.Kerbal Space Program has been released after 4 years of intense development, and the developers have said that they want to minimize the use of Steam features, thus it is almost certain that they will never implement any Cloud system for the game, which is sad. It's a disservice to call KSP a game or even a simulator, it's so much more than both, it's an incredible experience that has enriched my life and i'm a better person for having it. If you have even a passing interest in space, astronomy, space flight, space programs, or rocketry, then do yourself the favor of getting Kerbal Space Program now, you will not regret the purchase and will chastise yourself for not getting it sooner. Why do I wax poetically about my life in the shadow of giant rockets in this game review? Because playing Kerbal Space Program stirs those exact same feelings of wonderment and excitement in me as those rockets shaking the ground beneath my feet as a child did. That constant reminder only further fueled my obsession with all things space and space travel, and combined with many school field trips and Boy Scout outings into Huntsville to visit the incredible Space & Rocket Center made for many nights lying on my back staring far into the easily visible center of our Milky Way galaxy thanks to little to virtually zero light pollution pondering not only the many wonders of human space travel but also my place within this magnificent universe. So even if you had no interest in the space program, you certainly could never forget it's existence while growing up in the valley I call home. I can recall many a time while fishing on the backwaters and swamps of the river with my dad watching the surface of the water turn from that of glass to something akin to boiling water as the vibrations from the rockets moved across the creek. Watching those from out of town become wide eyed and panicked at the unexpected shattering of the peace was practically a local pastime. A quite peaceful day with only the sounds of birds, cattle, and the soft breeze would suddenly be filled with a sound so loud and powerful that the earth beneath your feet would reverberate and shake as though it was an earthquake and every window for miles would rattle and on occasion shatter from the violence of a single firing rocket. While the frequent test firing of rockets was done a few miles away and hidden from view, the sheer amount of power unleashed in those short burst of rocket fire was impossible to miss. Living in a very rural area of Alabama surrounded by cow pastures and the wilderness of the Appalachian foothills on three sides and a mighty river on the other while simultaneously witnessing and experiencing the sights and VERY loud sounds of our nations largest most powerful rockets on a near daily basis created a love for all things Space Program in me at a very young age. I was born, raised, and continue to live on the southern bank of the Tennessee River directly across the river from the Marshall Space Flight Center. The Marshall Space Flight Center located in Huntsville Alabama sits on the north bank of the Tennessee River as part of the United States military's Redstone Arsenal.
