It’s not a stock KIS. I don’t think you can attach parts to other parts here. The experiment just pops into existence on the ground in front of the kerbonaut. No detaching parts from each other, no mass/volume limits for inventory, only works for deployable science parts. So it’s only good for one specific purpose (which is not necessarily a bad thing, because KIS exists already).

As I understand it, KAS split a long time ago, and what this DLC shows off is more like KIS, but what you are referencing (attaching parts) is KAS.

KIS/KAS are one of my few "must have" mods. So I'll be eagerly awaiting this to see the full features it has, and how KIS/KAS can better integrate with it.

Less code for the author to maintain potentially means easier porting to new KSP releases, which means faster releases.

I thought that too, but from looking at KIS's page you can attach with just it. I don't know the details but it seemed pretty clear it would work at least with radial batteries.

I don't know for sure as I barely ever use it and when I do - like everybody else - I install KAS right along with it.

@Phoenix84 @5thHorseman KIS provides part attachment/detachment now, while KAS simply adds more ways to attach vessels together (winches, towbars, fuel lines etc.)

The ultimate DLC collection - Jebediah's Junkyard Rocket Parts and Stuff...

I'd buy that DLC just for the steel trashcan Mk 1 capsule complete with military surplus parachutes and duct tape seals.

For that trash can (if you said it literally) - you can use a mod that adds Bargain rocket parts !
