This game looks fun, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing when I tried it a couple years ago. I gave up too quickly probably.

Is there a good tutorial that y'all used to learn how the game works?

I recommend Scott Manley's tutorials on youtube. Even though many of them are for older versions of KSP, they are still great to get you started. If you are willing to spend a bit, there is a great book that covers a lot of ground in KSP:

I'll second that. Scott Manley is THE source KSP tutorials and just plain absurd fun-with-KSP-plugins. You'll get a lot more out of KSP if you watch/follow his videos.

Seconding Scott Manley's videos.

The game is fun, and I definitely recommend putting in the time to figure it out. There will come points where things just click, and suddenly getting to orbit becomes easy, then orbital rendezvous, then Mun and Minmus landings, etc., etc.

For me the struggle of figuring it out from the very basics was the best part. It's ok to have 10 or 20 or 50 failed launch attempts in the beginning. You're learning how to go to space!

Not a tutorial per-se, but rather a series of KSP youtube shows, https://www.youtube.com/user/BeazaYT has done some amazing story telling, and a lot can be learned by watching his build teardowns.

Quill18 has some good Let's Plays - I picked up a lot from him https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs3acGYgI1-tflJyPE7go...
