[1.12+] Custom Clusters - More freedom in engine design! (re-release)

[Randazzo]

Tired of being stuck with limited propulsion options? Construct your own engine clusters!

In addition to their mount capabilities, all engines are surface attachable to facilitate cluster construction. There are four surface attachable adapters with built-in interstage fairings: 1.25m Ultra-Light Interstage Cluster Adapter (for landers), 2.5m Ultra-Light Interstage Cluster Adapter (for landers), 2.5m Cluster Plate, and 3.75m Cluster Plate. Along with these, there is also a large 3.75m mounted Expanded Cluster Tank with a large base for attaching clusters and carries fuel but cannot be stacked, and three node-based adapters cloned from the stock 2.5m-1.25m multi-adapters.

As seen on 2 Minute Mods!

 

Q: What do I do with this pack?
A: As you might guess, make engine clusters. Attach a cluster plate to the bottom of your fuel tank (found in the STRUCTURAL tab), then attach engines. The standard and lightweight adapters can all be included in stacks.

Q: Do these replace stock engines?
A: No. There will situations where a single stock engine suits your rocket better. These are only intended to help remove some of the limitations of stock propulsion. They are also not intended to be "stockalike", though they have fairly similar statistics to their stock counterparts.

Q: This is too easy!
A: Don't use it!

What's New

Version 0.6
Official Re-release

• All engine models updated to work with new stock functionality to provide multiple variants
• EXTENSIVE .cfg file updates (yeesh)
• New throttle animations
• Corrected and adjusted effects transforms
• No changes have been made to the plates or stock derived adapters

This is an OLD mod that I have decided to update to work with the current KSP version and the new stock mechanics. Just keep in mind it is OLD. Just look at what stock looked like at the time in the demo video.

I'd like to request a reupload of the old version if you are able and willing. The introduction of part variants is a 'breaking' feature between game versions ≤1.3.1 and ≥1.4.

I've been away for a time, sorry for the late response. I did not remove any uploads or versions from the original thread so they should still be available.

Edit: I see the links are not working, let me see what I can do.

Edit2: Curseforge download give that a try
