"Massless parts" fix

[biohazard15]

Some time ago (and that was a fairly long time) I saw a MM config which made "massless" parts (like batteries and small solar panel) into a proper parts.

Can someone put me into its direction, or make one, or advise on how to make one?

"Massless" do add their mass to their parents, whatever the map view info box says. Try comparing some launches with a crapton of heavy "massless" parts inside a cargo bay, and then without them, and see which gives you a higher apoapsis.

I know that, and that's exactly what I want to fix. Especially because some genius decided that it would be a really great idea to make stock heatshields massless.
