Could Engineers Build in Space!?

[BlockTrooper]

I have an idea to make engineers much more useful! What if you would create a new storable resource called "parts" or something along those lines that engineers could use to build in space! That would make engineers very much useful in space stations or even rocket creation in space to make more advanced rockets to go to different parts of the kerbal system! I hope you will consider my idea!

Could they?

I agree. There are two mods for that called KIS and KAS, which do the job for now.

I'd also like this, but I disagree with the premise that engineers are useless. In stock they're the only ones that are (marginally) useful after awhile.

If you use the OSE Workshop Rochester with KIS/KAS, you're able to build parts directly on your inventory and use them as much as you like.

Take KIS/KAS, add EPL (Extraplanetary Launchpads) and you can build stuff wherever you want.  Assuming you can get your workshop there, and mine up the materials, then you can build whatever you like.
