There's no need to launch a workshop - just go to your orbital shipyard vessel, note down the requirements. Full MKS chains too. But you really are going to want WOLF by then. Been fixed for ages.

Short version: MatKits cover mass. SpecParts through Prototypes cover cost. So bulky cheap things are matkits only, small expensive things use more specialized bits up through prototypes (which are 30,000 funds or so per unit).

MKS is a gameplay mod. KPBS is a parts mod. So KPBS gives you a different form factor for MKS bases, but the other way around is like comparing ham and hamsters.

umm? ok?

1. EC is already handled differently in USI-LS. The rest, really is no more or no less challenge with one part or three. It's a math game (unless you intentionally make something out of whack). 2. TAC-LS does not have radiation or hab, last I checked. 3. It would be clunky, but doable, and no support would be provided. All of these bits are configurable.

And this is where I get philosophical. When I used TAC-LS, the only difference between one resource and three was more parts, and three resource tanks. Like, I never had a situation where I was out of one (food/water/oxygen) instead of all three in equal measure. EC was a wild card (and USI-LS has that), also USI-LS has a lot more breadth as it covers long-term habitation (which is trickier to deal with than just keeping Kerbals fed). Lethality and effects are all customizable as well. But to each their own

Never been a compatibility problem with scansat that I am aware of. And MKS has been 1.11.x compatible for a while. It won't conflict, just don't use USI-LS if you use TAC-LS. You won't be using a lot of the modules though as TAC-LS has no analogue for habitation, and any community patches for TAC-LS do not have official support. tbh, USI-LS just fits a lot better.

Yep, surface is in the pre-release. As well as new supply chains - though for some of the upper end stuff it may just make sense to ship it up. In my own save I am reserving that level of manufacturing to a single body due to the magnitude of the planetary infrastructure (which IMO is best to do using WOLF).

Best way to see something sorted is to either (a) do a PR (in this case, possibly a custom drag cube/cubes, though I have no idea if that will work for FAR), or (b) log a github issue (or comment on an existing issues) since that's where I go when working on the different mods to see what else to toss in.

Pull Requests are welcome Just be sure to do it to the DEVELOP branch

A lot of that credit is for @DoktorKrogg RE the new stuff The new resources are there to handle cost. Basically we start with enough MatKits to cover the mass (so for some parts like structural bits, etc. MatKits are enough), then we fill it up with other resources (specialized parts through prototypes) until the part cost is covered. Otherwise you could go into a very lucrative gravioli detector assembly business.

different sizes - both are orbital. 5m and 2.5m

Best bet is always a Pull Request. Second best bet is a Github issue

Yeah... that's completely wrong. Also your KSP version is too old, no guarantee it will even work. 1.11.x

K&K is not part of this mod - sounds like an install issue, and insufficient details have been provided. KSP version? Mod version? Screenshot of your Gamedata folder?
