Move Subassemblies

[OrbitalBuzzsaw]

Move the SubAssemblies out of Advanced category. Just a little thing to make life easier

I agree, but really it needs an overhaul... again.  That whole advanced section of the GUI is good in theory bad in practice.  It's just not a very user friendly UI.

I'd like to see subassemblies be applied to all game saves, and not specifically to one.
I have quite a few generic subs that I use often

When copying subassemblies over to different saves, I always have the problem that I have to put them in the Ships folder instead of the Subassemblies folder, because doing the latter doesn't work. And then I have to resave each one as a subassembly and relabel them with the relevant information (e.g. maximum payload to a particular parking orbit for a launch stage). Whilst I do not suffer major difficulties from the current placement of the subassemblies in the VAB/SPH, I would very much appreciate a more functional way to copy them to a different save.

Personally I'd rather have the option to pick which subassemblies get copied to which saves. Although, this is primarily just because I usually use mods, and I have various subassemblies for one set of mods that have an alternative version for a different set of mods (e.g. alternatives of my usual launch systems for times when I don't have Vx Series II engines installed).

Or it could have a global folder and a local folder and can load subs from either seamlessly.  You could do that for craft as well.

The stock ships are already handled this way.  The only problem is if you put it there, it will be identified as a stock ship, so we would need a 3rd location for 'global' crafts.

Something that could be included here....

having a subassembly "category" that self-updates for all sub-assemblies not given a category. When you get to having 100+ subassemblies, trying to figure out which ones haven't been given a category to find one in specific can get very bothersome.

 

Or if you go trolling through the ship exchange, and find someone's really, really awesome X, and without thinking about it you moved everything into your game, including their sub assemblies, and forget to go manually update the partlist\subassembly.cfg with their parts before you go in game.
