this is a biggie, Where are the buildings kept in ksp and how can they be edited/replased

speaks for its self

I experimented with this in 0.90 but had to prioritize my time a bit so nothing ever came of it. It still works in 1.0. I'm just going to barf it up in hopes it'll be useful

[KSPAddon(KSPAddon.Startup.MainMenu, true)]
public class Test_ChangeSpaceCenterBuildingsExternal : MonoBehaviour
{

    private void Start()
    {
        Log.Debug("Testing building external changes");

        var facility =
            FlightGlobals.Bodies.Where(cb => cb.isHomeWorld)
                .SelectMany(cb => cb.gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Upgradeables.UpgradeableFacility>(true))
                .FirstOrDefault(f => f.id == "SpaceCenter/VehicleAssemblyBuilding");

        if (facility.IsNull()) throw new InvalidOperationException("facility");



        Log.Normal("UpgradeableFacility:");
        facility.gameObject.PrintComponents();


        var model = GameDatabase.Instance.databaseModel.Find(
            go => go.name == "BuildYourOwnSpaceCenter/structures/TestCube/TestCube");

        if (model == null) Log.Error("failed to find model!");
        model.AddComponent<TestScale>();
        model.AddComponent<CrashObjectName>().objectName = "That ugly box";
        model.SetLayerRecursive(15);
        model.SetActive(true);


        model.transform.parent = facility.GetUpgradeLevels()[0].facilityPrefab.transform;
        model.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;

        DontDestroyOnLoad(model);


        var uft = facility.gameObject.AddComponent<UpgradeableFacilityTweakable>();
        uft.ImpersonateFacility(facility);
        uft.SetPrefab(0, model);

        Destroy(facility);
    }
}
class UpgradeableFacilityTweakable : UpgradeableFacility
{
    public void ImpersonateFacility(UpgradeableFacility target)
    {
        upgradeLevels = target.GetUpgradeLevels();
        facilityTransform = target.GetFacilityTransform();

        setup = false;
        preCompiledId = true;
        id = target.id;
        facilityLevel = target.FacilityLevel;

        SetupLevels();

        for (int i = 0; i < upgradeLevels.Length; ++i)
            upgradeLevels[i].levelCost = 1000f * i;

    }


    public void SetPrefab(int level, GameObject prefab)
    {
        upgradeLevels[level].facilityPrefab = prefab;
        setup = false;
        SetupLevels();
    }
}

Those are the main pieces. The interiors are simpler (you can just swap the model right out). Not a complete solution (the structure can't be destroyed -- haven't investigated that yet) but should jumpstart anyone willing to make the effort
