Changing resource that Extraplanetary Launchpads uses to make ships?

[SmashingKirby148]

So after playing Planetary Annihilation, I thought of how cool it was that all ships and bots and everything else are just fabricated into existence. And then this brought my attention to Extraplanetary Launchpads. I have used it several times before, and it was awesome, but I was wondering if it's possible to make not all pads, but a specific few to use Electric Charge to build ships instead of RocketParts, and don't need Kerbal Productivity. Again, just like the fabricators in Planetary Annihilation. Can someone make this possible, or even just tell me how to do it myself? I'd love to have a Sci-Fi fabricator near the end of the tech tree.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, this is gonna be harder than I thought. Had a quick little snoop around in the EL folder but the launchpads don't say anything about wanting a specific resource. :S

There was a mod designed to make EL compatible with MKS light that did change the resource used by EL. I think it was able to do it with a module manager patch. you should try and find that.

K, I'll try and find that patch and see if I can change it to Electric Charge. Thank you!

You can't do it on a launchpad-by-launchpad basis.  You can change with an MM patch the resources needed to build any specific part and/or the default recipe if you want - but it'll apply to every build.

I think changing it to EC would be a problem though, as I believe EL tries to be mass-neutral.

Awww man... well, I wrote a patch anyway based off MKS, just about to test it. ( please work, Kerbal gods ono/)(\ )

Dammit, just tested it, it didn't work. My selected pad still use RocketParts. TnT

What's the difference between a MM patch and a normal cfg file in GameData? Or are they the same thing?

You could make it that Electric makes RocketParts should be pretty easy
