Merge Parts to decrease Part count

[mattssheep4]

I don't know if this is possible or not, but it might be worth looking into if, for example, two fuel tanks that are attached could be merged in such a way that the physics engine would consider them one part with the dimensions and capacity of both parts. Ditto for things like girder segments or hitchhiker modules or maybe even wings and fuselages. Like I said, I don't know enough about how these things work, but it would be cool it did to reduce part count and strengthen joints and the like.

Have ou checked out PartWelding?

UbioZur Welding is a mod that does it, but it seems to be broken since 0.90.

This would definitely be helpful, mostly for space stations. Need 10 orange tanks for your mega-station? You can save 20 parts on each individual orange tank just by merging each dockingport-tank-dockingport assembly into a single part!

I'll check it out, thanks.
