Something I was surprised to not immediately see people making, heat shield tiles. Just little squares that can go on the side/bottom of rockets instead of lumpy dome-shaped heat shields. They don't make seams when you stack them next to each other and are also skinnable.

I will say, they are definitely overpowered and I can kind of see why Stef didn't make them vanilla. But hey, I'm not here to judge you if you can make use of 'em. Go nuts.

custom parts made with part creation toolkit arent mods
I mean, you do directly interact with source code to make them, unlike custom planets and stuff. But if want to count mods as modifying source code, no, they aren't.

Part pack updated for new modloader release. Just redownload the pack from the same google drive link and replace the old file at the new custom parts location.

Ok so just a little suggestion uses the file button when uploading a file, so people click that instead because some people don't know how to use google drive.
