Make Parts disappear in VAB/SPH

[VooDooShamane]

Hi all

Im just curious if its possible through cfg editing to have parts not in any category (VAB/SPH) but still be loaded in the Game.

My Situation:

I part welded some sepcific parts together but i will only use the welded part on the one ship.

I need the game to load the part so the Ship can exist but i don't want it in my Build list.

I already tried to edit the part cfg.

Changed "category = FuelTank" to "category = somethingnotexist" That made the game stuck at loading screen.

I also tried "category = 0" but strangely with that the part still appears in the Fuel tanks category.

I even tried to delete the whole "category = FuelTank" line but than it's also available in VAB/SPH.

Thank's

I don't know a solution that will work for sure, but you could try to find out how squad did it with the asteroids. Just go to gamedata --> nasa mission --> parts --> potatoroid. They are treated by the game as ship parts, are however not listed in the VAB/SPH.

Edit: damn spelling

Following up on the above, the relevant lines in the potatoroid's .cfg are:

category = none

subcategory = 0
