Subassembly not saving

[Rylant]

Hey All,

So in my career mode, some of my subassemblies don't save when I drag them and save them in the VAB.  It looks like it saved.  It asks me what to name it, I name it and hit save, but nothing shows up.  I am using steam and when do this, the subassembly craft shows up in the folder directory, but nothing is there in game.  The funny thing is, that some files save normally, but some behave like this.

Thoughts?

I think I had a similar issue ages ago, but I don't recall exactly what it was or how I solved it.

It is possible that this has to do with the name of the subassembly and the way KSP replaces "special" characters in the name and the filename. So maybe try only letters and numbers in the name of the subassembly and see if that works (no spaces, dots, slashes, or other fancy stuff).

P.S. I just gave it a try and I couldn't reproduce any problem. So my guess from earlier today may be wrong...

I think it has to do something about the root part, it needs to change for some reason to actually save, even if it looks like it saved, something like that, been a while i had the same issue.

Well, if the root part of the cannot attach to anything, then it isn't a valid  subassembly. But in that case you get a tiny error message when dragging it into the drop zone, it won't do anything if you click there and you don't get to type in a name for it.

Yeah but i think sometimes it bugs out especially if you editing an already saved subassembly and it doesn't give you the error message and/or it makes you feel like it saved, its been a while i might be super wrong.
