Where does KSP store parts?

[AwesumnisRawr188]

Hey guys,

I was implementing different plugins and a mod, and I did as it said. After, when I first started up the game, all my parts were gone!

All I did was move one folder to the main folder, and it made them all disappear.

I want to verify whether or not KSP's base game parts were deleted, so does anyone know what the file name might be, or where it is?

Thanks a lot!

The parts can be found under GameData/Squad/Parts (For stock) or whatever the name of the mod is.

[AwesumnisRawr188]

Ah.

Thank you. It appears they have all been deleted somehow. I verified it with Steam, and it turns out over 1,000 files were deleted, all by me moving a folder and no prompt showing up.

Alright, even MORE problems. After verifying, my old save works, but all parts say they need an entry purchase in Research and Development. I can't purchase them again since i already did, so how can I get around this? Any way to edit a file and make it think I have what I already bought?

You should be able to just go into the R&D building and purchase them again. (IF the node is green and has a number by it you can purchase parts in that node without science) If you are really concerned about save file editing in your persistant.sfs (Or quicksave.sfs) look for the following.

SCENARIO
	{
		name = ResearchAndDevelopment
		scene = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
		sci = 179.8773
		Tech
		{
			id = start
			state = Available
                        part = mk1pod
			part = liquidEngine
			part = solidBooster
			part = fuelTankSmall
			part = trussPiece1x
			part = longAntenna
			part = parachuteSingle
		}

It should look like that for the first node. If it doesn't make it so.

and, just like installing mod parts, if you've already researched the branch that these parts are on, they should be free to unlock.

It says I need to research them first, but I already have. I will try editing it.

EDIT: I have no clue how to open the .sfs file. I've tried 7Zip, but it won't open it.

Guess I'll save the ships and start a new game and just add em after I get enough science.

The .sfs is just a text file. Use Notepad.

Alright, I will use that in the future, but all I did was start a new game, got enough science, and copied the ship files over. Now how can I finally get the Achievements GUI to show up?
