Small Parts (Custom Part Pack)

[NeptuneSky]

Supported Game Version: v1.5.8.5

This pack adds a set of small parts, along with a matching engine! (Titan for scale)

If you have any suggestions for additions/changes I can make, feel free to leave them in a reply.

How to Use:

1. Close the game, open Steam, then go to your library.
2. Right click SFS, then go to Manage > Browse Local Game Files.
3. Navigate to Mods > Custom Assets > Parts.
4. Drag and drop the part asset from the below Google Drive link into the Parts folder.

Google Drive - smallparts.pack

The game will automatically load the parts when you re-open it. You can find them under the new pick category, as well as sprinkled around the relevant vanilla categories.

I found it

While i dont play the PC version this still looks very interesting! Perhaps you could try doing some more unusual engine designs like aerospike style engine for example? I know almost nothing about modding tho so i suppose it's pretty hard to make that, still would love to see a mod like this even if i cant play it

 

[EmberSkyMedia]

What colour is the Engine exaust?
(Looks Like I need to figure out enabling "Mods" first)

Wouldn't be hard at all. You can add an engine plume and an engine module to literally any shape

It's the kolibri's but a hint more reddish.

Got it to work! So very cool! (now to make some micro satalites and stations!)

If I were to provide you with a photo(s) would you be able to make an engine for me?
*At some point I'm going to try to figure out modding, at the moment I'm seeing what you guys come up and and see where there may be needs...*

I should add (as I can't edit) I don't mean to ask for a "freebie" but I'm a bit rusty on programming and C# is new to me (I came from C/C++ era many years ago) and your code is already compiled (Historically I pulled from asset sprites etc vs. hard code them into the file).

You pretty much don't need to do any coding to make a custom part unless you want to do things the vanilla part modules don't allow. As for the custom engine, I'm up for suggestions but I'm trying to keep my stuff original, I want my parts to feel like they are vanilla and not just copies of real life. I am likely going to completely change the look of the firefly at some point because of this.

Is there a tutorial on how to make custom parts? I have some ideas I'd like to try.

Thats cool! I hope to see unusual engines in the future

can it work on sfs pc 1.5.7.2 or beta version

beta version

Major update, posted at the same drive link:

- Reordered the part list to be more sensible. It now mirrors the order of the Basic tab.
- Remodeled and retextured the firefly engine a bit. It's less of a HyperCurie ripoff and more of a Kolibri ripoff now, but i overall think it's an improvement.
- Added a small heat shield. This should've been added originally but I forgot. Oops.
- Half height separator! You can fit this separator in the same 0.5m block as a heat shield. The original full height is still included, though.

 

[NeptuneSky]

Known issues:
- Heatshield invisible in stages

 

[NeptuneSky]

Fixed heat shields being invisible in staging, though the shield is now oddly sized in the part picker. Can't really fix that without reverting my fix to staging.

 

[NeptuneSky]

Another update: added small fairings. I am not sure what you could possibly use them for, but they exist now.

 

[EmberSkyMedia]

Maybe a mini-parachute (and side-seperators)?
As this combo is too top-heavy for rentry (from the moon).

Latest pc release has a broken version of the parts loader, beta fixes stuff. You can try it, but no promises.

I've made a small parachute. A small side separator is really not going to work though. I can't make that less than 0.5m wide or it just won't work.

Wait, but doesnt it work through bp edit anyway?

The game forces it to move on 0.5m increments. Anything smaller than that is finicky and pretty much impossible to attach to 2 things at once.

Hmmm alright

 

[NeptuneSky]

uploaded new parachute, along with a fix for the separators not having any separation force.
