Small parts

[VoidSquid]

Hi fellow Kerbalists,

The longer I play the more I like to build small rockets, 0.625m. And while several mods, namely RLA Reborn, do provide a lot of parts for that size, I'm still wondering, is there any mod that provides small parachutes, small batteries, small foldable solar panels?

Yes, I'm aware of TweakScale and similar mods, but I do not like the idea of "artificially" resizing parts.

doesn't provide those - but other fun small parts:

I am (slowly) working on updating the parts to 1.7.x - the tiny girders are done.

Thanks, not exactly what I'm looking for, but definitely something I'd like to check out when you're ready with the mod

USI sounding rockets has a lot of 0.3 & 0.625m rocket parts.  No solar panels that I recall, but it does have small batteries & parachutes, plus mini probe cores.

Also, one of the other USI family of mods has a small inflatable escape pod (the DERP), and that mod includes both a tiny folding solar panel & a tiny monoprop fuel cell.  I can't remember exactly which mod has it.

a lot of those parts were made superfluous by what are now stock parts. remember this mod was made at a time when we didn't have a whole lot of stuff to work with. the fact that they all use the prefix halfmeter, when in fact its 0.625 harks back to the early days of ksp modding when scales were less well defined. i do remember going back and adjusting all the tank volumes accordingly. but i didnt want to break my saves so i left the old naming conventions, even on newer parts.

Kurikane also has small parts (engine, parachute etc).

very true. something I have been mulling over and will respond more in that thread.

Finally found what I've been looking for: 

@zer0Kerbal: maybe some parts of that mod would fit into your mod too? If yes, I mean, no need to invent the wheel again, imho.

great set of parts and LGG is doing a great job in curating them.

I do have another set coming - look in the Dev thread - KGEx - and Hot Beverages Irradiated will have stack fuel cells as small as .3125 (so size000?)
