I can't get many of the Kolonization parts (Smelt-o-matic, Power Pack, Regolith Sifter) to attach to either the Colony Hub or the Anchor Hub "in-game". I can get them to attach in the VAB but not with a Kerbal in the field.
I can attach Flex-o-Tubes and Kolony Tubes in the field but I can't take the other things like {Smelt-o-matic, Power Pack, Regolith Sifter} out of Inventory and attach them with a Kerbal in-game.
I've read through the thread about things like using "R" to change node, but that doesn't seem to help.
Steps to Replicate
1. Load up a Command Pod and Kolony Hub with various parts and Wrench
2. Launch to launchpad
3. Exit the vehicle with Bill Kerman (with Wrench equipped)
4. Once outside open Kolony Hub Inventory and grab part
5. Attempt to attach "press H + left click"
Expected Behaviour: Part attaches
Actual Behaviour: Error message; "This node cannot be used for surface attach"
Also tried:
Pressing "R"
Attaching to other things like Girder Segment, or a Kontainer
Changing the orientation to something that looks like it should attach
I got the impression from the wiki and the title graphics for this mod at the start of this forum topic that I should be able to assemble something like example base in the field from unpacking things out of Inventory. But don't seem to be able to do this.
