Thank you for posting this thread. As someone who has not written any mods at all I appreciate any resources I can find to get started.
In the mod Dr. Jet's Chop Shop there's a part called Lil' Buzzer. It consumes electric power to produce thrust, and I'd like to copy it a few times a few times with some tweaks. Here are some examples:

For me, the only interesting difference between these parts is their performance, ie one weighs 9.5g, draws 33.6W and produces 48g thrust while the other weighs 615g, draws 3700W and produces 4.5kg thrust. I don't really care much about their appearance. Could I jump straight to editing .cfg files?
