so now when we have eva construction there should be a way to atleast make surface attach parts. this whould help if you forgot something because  I wont put every part necesary in a container in case I forget them. The part could be a 3d printer and it would need something to print with so you cant make infinite parts with it. Maybe you should even be able to make material for it with ore?

i think infinite parts is a stretch, maybe only 2.5m parts and it could use ore. make sure to have LF/O and electricity with you fi you wanna have it fueled up

So, now that KIS is stock, make OSE stock?

Well, I was under the impression that EVA would remain mod territory but now I really don't see* why not make extraplanetary constructions a whole into the stock game. 

*well, aside from all the work.

OSE is already being updated to work with stock.

Also @RoverDude is adding this functionality to his Konstruction mod.

@goldenpsp go without saying that every mod out there that relied on KIS/KAS will most likely be updated to use the stock inventory. Heck, even the plan for KIS/KAS itself go along those line. So,  that is not the point.

The idea in OP is pretty much "make OSE stock" Something that couldn't be done without some form of "make KIS/KAS stock", but now that the last update solved it, "make OSE stock" seems like a very natural next step.  (making Konstruction Docking Ports stock seem very reasonable also)

I get that.  And I'm sure from a programming level it wouldn't be that hard to add that functionality.  As usual it comes down to whether it fits with what stock should be.  There are lots of great mods out there, but many that wouldn't make sense to be part of the stock game for various reasons.  I'm not saying this is one of those cases, but the decision to integrate a feature into stock is more than just "can it be done"

And I was just pointing out in the meantime there are already going to be 2 options for that functionality.
