Releasing parts


Do you prefer to have lots of small mods or one big one.  

  1. 1. Do you prefer to have lots of small mods or one big one.

    • Group the parts together
    • Release them separately
    • Don't care

I've got several relatively simple parts that I've been working on in the background, which in my opinion are somewhat needed, I'm just wondering how to release them, because there's only a few of them, but they have nothing to do with eachother. When the time comes should I release them together, separately or do people not care?

EDIT

Could a mod please move this to the Add-on Development forum? I make misteak.

Regarding current memory management in KSP, many separated groups would be better (at the end) than a big set IMHO.

Just an example: you have 20 fuel tanks, 30 structural parts, 15 batteries, 10 solar panels, 5 wheels.

If I'm only interested in wheels, I just add these 5 parts, no need for the 75 others.

I perfectly know I can achieve the exact same result by doing some work myself (creating main folder, copying only the wheels) but you know how lazy people can be :).

Heh, I'm exactly the opposite of Justin Kerbice. :D You know how lazy people can be, let them download and install everything in a single block rather than having to install each component-group separately.

Though, I think a big chunk of that depends on the size of the pack and the logical-relatedness of them -- for example, I'd be happy to download an "electronics" pack with 5 batteries and 8 solar panels, and a "structural" pack with 20 strut-and-truss combinations .. but if you had 1 battery, 2 solar panels, and 3 structural parts, I'd rather get those as one pack instead of 3 different packs. Use your judgment.

agree if it is just a small parts pack then just release it as a single pack but if it is a large parts pack then release as separate parts for convenience
