Field repairs

[0x7be]

Hello, everyone!

I've just had my rover turned over when it fell into one of Mun craters. Fortunately rover suffered only minor damage: some auxillary and/or backed up parts fell off but everything critical is intact, so I can continue my journey.

But I thought that it whould be nice if Kerbals could take some spare parts with them and attach them to vehicles "in field". Seeing KAS mod I assume that it is technically possible - KAS allows to attach ports to ships in "run-time", so there should not be any problem to attach, say, RCS ports, small fuel tank or spotlight. What do you think about this idea? Maybe even KAS might be repurposed for this.

There was a mod which did exactly that. It hasn't been updated to the newest version so I'm not sure if it still works. But it was called the Attachment Pack.

I like the idea, could lead to actual building of things in orbit, or building an interconnected Mun base without the need of docking ports and precision flying/user made forklifts/cranes.

I'd love that. I'd take so many spare solar panels for my rovers. They just keep breaking off whenever I try and push rovers out of the nose-stands they get into on heavy braking.

Looks quite outdated. But I've looked through KAS files and found that it has separate modules for "grab" and "attach" operations. I assume these modules could be reused for my goals.

Perhaps I'll test it tomorrow.

That's what the attachment pack uses. I would recommend trying it out. I'll bet it still works.

I'll give it a try, thanks for information
