ISRU and contracts

[Jhawk1099]

So I accepted a contract to build a base on Duna. One of the requirements is to have a resource converter on the base. Yet in testing (and previous experience) the 1.25 meter ISRU doesn't count for some reason. This is a problem because 1. The 2.5 meter ISRU is bigger than I want. 2. I have a nice setup in which the 1.25m fits inside of a cargo bay for the planetary base mod so aesthetics would be bad (this is going to go on YouTube) 3. The 2.5m is bigger. 4. The contract doesn't specify which converter it wants anywhere. So this raises a question. If I fulfill all of the requirements, except the ISRU one, then should I just complete the contract via alt + f12 or would that be wrong? I just want to see some other peoples opinions and ideas on the subject.

Option 1: Decline the contract, as you cannot complete it

Option 2: Clever engineering, make a way to bring the ISRU, even as a dead useless payload

Option 3: Wait for 1.1 to drop as they have fixed the bug where small ISRU doesn't count

Option 4: Cheat lol

Option 5: Tweakscale ISRU down to 1.25. See Option 4

Why thank you sir (I assume sir due to the overwhelming male demographic ) I think i'll use tweak scale

Or launch another ship with a large ISRU and a claw.

Claw it on temporarily, take the money, then disconnect and ditch it.

I assume lots of people do this, but I routinely bring ISRUs or Sci labs or crew cabins on a mission with a decoupler or docking port, do the landing/orbit/whatever required by the contract. Then decouple and go do whatever I actually wanted to accomplish with that launch.

If I'm correct, the 1.25m not being recognized as an ISRU is a bug that is fixed in 1.1; if that's the case I don't see what's wrong with using the debug window to force the contract completed.
