clamshell fairing deployment and parts blackening on reentry

[darthvader15001]

so could you add clamshell deployment instead of that confetti deployment? it would also be nice to have blacken on reentry.

if anyone from intercept games sees this please put it into ksp2.

Just FYI, clamshell deployment exists for KSP 1. Right click on the fairing to open the menu, you can switch between clamshell and confetti, and you can also do interstage nodes!

I do hope that the feature continues in KSP 2., and maybe becomes the default.

You can also do it as a patch if you have Module Manager installed:

clamshell.cfg

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleProceduralFairing]]
{
	@MODULE[ModuleProceduralFairing]
	{
		%useClamshell = True
	}
}

Thanks! I didn’t think to patch it in. Maybe I should start doing patches more when I want to change something…

What would be the setting names for the number of sides and the variant? It would be nice to default these to the values I typically use. I couldn't find the relevant info in any cfg files I looked in

Nevermind, found them in craft file!

I have a folder for all my tweak patches that I've been using for .... ten years? ish? It's the first thing that goes into GameData on a new modded install when updating KSP.
