Attachment point appearing small and purple...

[Jack]

Kind of like the parachute attachment point, is there anything that I could toggle/change to fix this?

The last value on that is size. Set it to '1' or remove it.

The last value on an attachnode entry defines the size of the attachment point. You will notice that the parachutes have small, purple attachments, while most other parts have the default blue node. Parachutes specify a size 0 attachment, while all others have the default size 1 attachment.

There are attachment sizes up to size 4. They become larger and have different colors. For now, that's all the difference it makes. Later, the plan is to add a size compatibility check before letting parts attach, so you have to use adapters to connect different sized parts to each other.

Meanwhile, since there are no adapter parts, everything can connect to everything else.

Very interesting. I just went through my parts folder and edited in a attachment size for all the 2m and 3m parts and adapters.
