I seem to be having an issue with 1.8.1 and I'm not sure if it's me being obtuse or some conflict. I have Breaking ground installed.
In the VAB i can add screwdrivers etc to a container's inventory and they show up fine in the VAB itself. I have to drag and drop the item over the container tho, not the inventory window. If i do that, nothing appears in the inventory.
When I reload the same craft in the VAB, the inventory is empty. When I re-add the parts and then head to the pad, the cargo container is once again empty.
Upon landing inventories on the containers are empty as well, obviously. This has happened to multiple craft, very frustrating as I just want a wrench on the Mun!
Is it possible this is a universal storage issue? It appears to be throwing NullReferenceExceptions. I can't decipher the logs well enough to tell.
Side question - is there a way i can just add a screwdriver to one of the container's inventories in my persistent save file in the mean time?

Edit: it appears that I can use KIS containers such as the SC-62 portable container with no problem. Things drag from the menu and into their inventory. The stock containers such as the SEQ-6 Cargo storage unit however, (using stock inventory system I suppose?) do not maintain their inventory and items can only be added by dragging and dropping onto the container itself in the VAB (although the items will disappear as soon as the scene changes). Do I just have to be careful what containers I'm using? Can the stock containers not handle KIS tools such as the screwdriver?
