Editing .Craft files

[Kerbal the crazyest]

Hello! I have two weeks playing KSP, but i have a question: How to edit .craft files? Please help!

You will need to go to your game directory (if you got it on Steam, check the steam folder. If you got it from other platforms, check their folders, or where you installed it at a custom location).

From there, try to go to "..\Kerbal Space Program\saves\MyCareerGame\Ships\VAB\". There you will find all craft saved in the VAB specifically. Editing is simple, just open the .craft files with Notepad or any text editor of your liking (Notepad++ has a plugin that highlights sections in different colors to make more sense of it).

Editing craft files is not a good idea, it takes lots of time and prone to errors until you get good at it. There isn't many tools available to edit every aspect of them, generally users rather edit the persistant.sfs file, since that contains the actual craft that have been launched (great for fixing the docking port bugs)

Well there is an editor that come free with the game. But, hand editing them is tricky at best, kraken bait in the usual case.

What are you aiming to do?
