Is this breaking the rules?

Is it breaking the rules by going into game data and copying items then changing there configure file?

ps what's the patcher do?

No, that's called modding ^^.

If you're copying stock parts then Squad specifically gave us permission to do exactly that - if you publish for other people make sure you follow the add-ons guidelines though.

Coincidentally, I've just written about Patcher.exe in the beginner's guide I'm doing. It verifies an install against Squad's servers and applies any patches. Staying up to date and in control manually is better though.

And welcome to the forums, even though this isn't your first post (questions should really go in http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/forums/15-Gameplay-Questions-and-Tutorials, rather than here, which is just for 'hello' threads).
