Features

A complete and total rebuild of my old Stockalike Station Parts Expansion project. Everything has been redone, and nothing is left of the old mod!

• Small Station Parts: A full set of 1.25m station parts, with habitats, control rooms, connecting tubes, hubs and much more.
• Medium Station Parts: Expanding the 2.5m set that stock provides, you'll find greenhouses, structural components, specialized connectors, orbital stowage bays...
• Large Station Parts: Yup, large station parts! A full set in the 3.75m size class, from habs to labs to... well, lots more!
• Reworks: I've taken the time to rework the three stock station components (Cupola, MPL and Hitchiker) to match the new parts. They look the same but new!
• Inflatable Habitats: A nice set of inflatable habitats for maximum crew space. They range from teeny to huge.
• Centrifuges: All size categories have at least one centrifuge habitat. They range from small and cramped to massive and spacious (one of the largest parts I've ever made).
• Cargo Containers: I really felt like making some multi-purpose cargo containers. These modules will adapt to what mods you have installed, and provide storage for resources from MKS, TAC-LS, USI-LS, EPL and probably a few more that I forgot.
• Self-Levelling Base Frames: To help align your bases on slightly bumpy terrain, use these base plates, which feature individually adjustable legs with a self-level function
• Extensible Crew Connections: Much like the Klaw, but better! Varying lengths and impressive looks!
• Comprehensive Mod Support: With the help of many forumgoers, this mod contains support for tons of mods, specifically those related to life support and colonization.
• IVAs: It almost killed me but everything has fully featured IVAs.

Dependencies

Required

These components are required for the mod to function and are bundled as part of any download:

• ModuleManager (4.2.1)
• B9PartSwitch (2.18.0)
• Near Future Props (0.7.1)

Installation

To install, place the GameData folder inside your Kerbal Space Program folder. If asked to overwrite files, please do so.

NOTE: Do NOT rename or move folders within the GameData folder - this mod uses absolute paths to assets and will break if this happens.

External Mod Compatibility

This mod includes compatibility patches for the following mods:

• KSP-AVC: Provides version checking
• Community Tech Tree: Provides an expanded, community-sourced technology tree for modders to use
• Kerbal Inventory System: Inventory added to particular parts
• Connected Life Support: Correctly marks parts as passable or impassable
• Extraplanetary Launch Pads: containers store mod resources
• KeepFit: Appropriate parts provide exercise
• Modular Kolonization System: containers store mod resources
• Snacks: sets up relevant life support for parts
• USI-LS: sets up relevant life support for parts

Note that the vast majority of this compatibility is community-sourced and not maintained by me.

Contributing

I certainly accept pull requests. Please target all such things to the dev branch though!
