This mod pack idea was partly inspired by my desire to reduce my part count by turning my subassemblies into single parts and watching Bob Fitch's [Felbourn] Project Gateway and Odyssey. In it I discovered the possibility of welding through the UbioZur Welding Ltd. Continued mod. Unfortunately, it is not currently being maintained and doesn't work in KSP 1.8.1 which is the most recent version I'm using...

What this pack will amount to is a collection of subassemblies that I have welded - the hard and tedious way - into single parts much like Felbourn used to do with the afore mentioned mod. At present, I just have a single part, but intend for it grow over time. At present, it just needs stock KSP with the Making History DLC, but that could change as it grows...

@adm-frbDoes it work without Bluedog design bureau? Stupid question but desperate requirement as I'm maxed out on RAM and don't want to switch mods, otherwise I will create a seperate save for this.

Sorry with latish reply. Busy at work because of COVID-19

 

It should. I've included the parts of Bluedod DB it requires (the models). Let me know if it doesn't

Is there any instructions on how to use this?

If you mean, installation, they are in the very first post and are included in the readme file...

Just released Version 1.0.0.6

Mod now includes an improved version of the RK-7 "Kodiak", It shows as a new engine called the RK-7A "Kodiak" which increases thrust by 5% and extends the ISP to 315 seconds at sea level, and 330 seconds in a vacuum. Not a welded part, but something I thought it needed as the 5% increase in thrust featured in the real RD-107A

Engine compatible with restock
