Remove item from staging?

[Aser]

Hello,

I want to know if there is a way to remove and item (such as engines or decouplers) from being activated by staging. I have a habit of sending up multiple missions per launch and sometimes staging makes a mess.

For Example: Here I have a rover w/crane and a separate crew lander. I don't want the decouplers or the crane engines to have anything to do with staging.

I'd like to just activate each part manually.

I just place all of the ones that i don't want activated to the last stage and do it manualy with custom action groups. Also would like to know if there is another way of doing it like a mod or something.

A huge mess in stage 0 has been my "fix" as well. It is not ideal...

(Sometimes it ends up getting accidentally staged...)

Right click the part, click the button next to "Staging" so it gets set to "disabled".

Just don't use staging after the useful ones. Just organize your action groups effective

You can also lock staging with MOD+L.

It would be better if we didn't have to worry about that - especially when it's a spacecraft intended to dock with other spacecraft.

Staging or not, if you have two or more docked spacecrafts with a different set of action groups, it will still be a mess. So whether you lock the staging or not, you always have to organize your action groups.
