Ker Ball One

I'm new to this game, I bought it on steam almost a year ago but didn't start playing until this month. I suspected it would be addictive, and, um, I've got a problem. Will KSP2 have mods? I don't want to spend full price for a perpetually in pre release and unsupported by the community.

Is there a way to set the default preset for the stock parts? I want to place radial parachutes but their default size is small.

It seems the Mission Builder has an undocumented feature. For nodes with a 'Vessel' selection, some have ">>Acepello" which I assume means any large enough sub part of the original vessel. That might work well for smaller craft, but not the Saturn V. The command module doesn't trigger landing or splashdown.
