Research Tree and New Mods

[Nsomnia]

I've already started a career mode, I've only got about 5 hours on it so its no big loss but I have a question.

I researched some of the tech tree that unlocked some mod parts (ie, MechJeb)

Now I added a bunch more mods

If these mods had researchable parts in the tree branches that ive already researched, will I have these parts available now, or will I have to start a new save everytime I add more mods if I want to use them in career mode?

Thank you.

All parts added with mods you installed since your last save are not yet available, but can be "researched" for free by clicking on them in the proper technology node (from the R&D screen). Any tech node that has parts not yet researched has a small circled number on it (with the number of parts available for research, the figure 9 means 9 or more parts).
