OK, I have that bit figured, for some reason I had to transfer out the crew member with inventory before I could transfer the engi in the pod with him into the workshop, I am making material kits now and know what I need to do. Thanks much everyone!
Back to the other question though, is the Scout landers workshop function broken given it has zero crew capacity? Would fixing this be as simple as copying the crew module from one of the other workshop part .cfg's into the scout cfg? Or am I missing the way its meant to be used?
Oh, and also is anyone aware if the ranger lab missing in sci career needs to be reported here, gc, or ctt? Or am I being dumb somewhere again, Im well past the adv construction node but its not there.
Thanks again for all the help everyone!
