When I was going to land my rocket, the parachutes didn't work and the lander crashed and Bob Kerman died. I didn't know how long it would take for my kerbal to respawn so I waited for 2 months (in the game) for him to respawn but he didn't respawn.
I'm playing on sandbox with easy difficulty and I set it so that lost kerbals would come back.
In KSP, the respawn time is based on real life time, not in-game time. The default time is 2 hours, though you can change it in the game settings down to 1 hour. If you have experience in tampering with the save and settings files, you could change it to 0 hours or something else via this method:
...\Kerbal Space Program\saves\NAME directory, where NAME is the name of the savegame.GAME/PARAMETERS/DIFFICULTY/RespawnTimer parameter. The unit here is in seconds.7200) in any time amount you want! NB: If you try to change this in-game afterwards, it will reset, and you will have to do the process again.I hope this helps in the revival of Bob!
