I frequently see requests for changes or mods that can be done easily using nothing but a module manager patch, often those have already been requested several times. Rather than copy/paste every in every single request, I thought it might be nice to make a database of module manager patches for the stock game so players can simply scroll through the list and pick out what they like. If you have a specific MM patch you would like to add to the list, feel free to post it. If someone else made it for you, please include their name. I would like to attribute the correct author.I will try to keep the thread up to date and will likely improve the thread organization as it grows. Instructions For Usage Install Module Manager. Many mods already come packaged with this, so you may already have it. However, it is wise to ensure you have the latest version. Copy the entire contents of the patch(es) you want into a text editor. I recommend Notepad++, but any text editor will do. Save the file in the Kerbal Space Program\GameData folder using a *.cfg extension and any name you wish (example: ServiceBayDeployLimiter.cfg). The patches may be almost anywhere in the GameData folder, you may wish to create a "Patches" folder for organization. The patches can all be in one file or split among many for your convenience (white space is ignored). Patches that alter the same modules may be combined provided they have the same header, see example below. Rules for Patches in the Database Patches in this thread must be for stock KSP. Mod patches should be posted in their respective threads. Patches must include the name of the original author or if you do not know, say so. Patches posted here are assumed to include no reserved rights beyond attribution. SCPD Patch Manager You can now download this database formatted for use with @linuxgurugamer's PatchManager mod. Simply extract the zip file to your GameData folder. Download Module Manager Patch Database Quality of Life Improvements These patches do not alter the overall difficulties in the game. In most cases they simply make it easier to do things you can already do through less convenient means.
