What mod allows to multiply engines being attached?

[aMaestro]

Hello everyone!

In RealismOverhaul mod some sub-mod allows to attach a number of engines to the bottom of fuel tank. I thought it was RealFuels, I was wrong.

I want to switch on this ability in standard, almost 'vanilla' KSP. What mod should I use?

 

Thank you in advance.

Maestro.

Without any mods you could just clip a cube strut and use symmetry to mount engines.

[Chaos_Klaus]

Either use cubic octagonal struts to make more nodes, or use engines that can be surface attached (like the Vector).

EditorExtensionsRedux allows you to radially attach the engines to the bottom of tanks. You can use symmetry to put as many engines as you think will fit.

Or you could just add a snippet of ModuleManager config to make all engines surface-attachable.

Assuming you have ModuleManager installed (which you almost certainly do, if you're running any other mods at all), just make a .cfg file somewhere in your GameData folder, and put this content in it:

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleEngines]]
{
    @attachRules = 1,1,1,0,0
}

Voila, all your engines are now surface-attachable.

If you only want to do it for certain specific engines and not all of them, then that first line would be "@PART[whateverTheEngineNameIs]" instead of the wildcard it's currently using.

I generally use the small nose cone for small engines and the radial attachment point for 1.25m ones. Never tried to radially mount anything bigger than that.

Its the procedural fairings that adds the thrust plate multi-adapter

Thanks to everyone for your answers!

Just as @Vegetal said  

THIS!

use the specially purposed Radial Attachment Point! it's lighter, prettier, and it's size 1 instead of cubic micronode's size 0, meaning it's stronger   I use it for that (see spoilers below, skip to last picture)

Yup this. The multi adapter is exactly what you need

Mod question moved to the mod subforum.

Custom Clusters also does something similar.
