SimpleConstruction! Hero

Preamble by `MatterBeam`

After testing out Extraplanetary Launchpads and Roverdude's MK/OKS, MatterBeam had the idea of creating a simple, user friendly mod that would allow you to build rockets without taking a 200MB hit to RAM or having to juggle multitudes of resource pathways. If you know how to set up a drill, ISRU and a fuel tank for an Ore to Fuel conversion, then you should know how to build rockets.

Features

No extra parts
No RAM usage
Added functionality for the Mobile Processing Lab in the late game
Simple, configurable and adds levels of depth to the gameplay without a learning curve
Ore --> Metal --> RocketParts --> rockets!

Cabin notes

Will remain prerelease until taniwha releases Extraplanetary Launchpads as release instead of alpha/beta/prerelease
WIP - work in progress
Am open to adding more features, great project for someone!
I have not personally tested the patches
Have a request? Glad to have them, kindly submit through GitHub push.

Known issue(s)

If the offset/rotation gizmo's are used on the docking ports, the spawn location might be off. This is a known issue and a feature request has been sent to taniwha
Kerbalism compatibility is considered EXPERIMENTAL.
- certain builds may require no RocketParts and time to complete. We are aware of this and any assistance with this issue would be appreciated.

Installation Directions ¹

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies)

I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods. CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools. If you are having issues please let the CKAN people know and refer to the CKAN thread. My support of CKAN extends as far as me checking the checkbox in Spacedock when I upload. Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.
