Looking for parts files.

[Scorch Draken]

I was wondering if anyone knew where the new parts files are located for the game. I haven't had any luck on finding the parts to adjust some of the file's information.

Parts are located in the Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Parts directory.

But, if you want to tweak parts, I'd recommend spending a bit of extra time and getting familiar with Module Manager, and using Module Manager patch files instead to effect your changes.

Reason for doing this is if you want to revert your changes, it's as easy as pulling the patch file out, and adjusting the changes only requires adjusting the patch file, rather than having to dig into the actual part files each time. Also means you aren't going to lose your adjustments if you have to verify your KSP install.

make sure you go into windows/controll and tell your computer to show all the system/hidden files just in case. Took me forever to locate the parts files...

I have hidden files shown and look in the parts directory, it is the first place I did look. The files never show up.

[justDerrick]

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Squad\Parts

they should be right there


if you want, say the xenon tank,

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Squad\Parts\FuelTank\xenonTank.cfg

is the part file that handles all the other files for that part

That is how I look for them, but nothing at all.

are you 100% certain you are in the Squad folder in Gamedata, since there are alot of just plain empty folders in the KSP root directory

does verifying the games integrity with Steam help?

That helped, thanks, it seemed to refresh the folder when I verified the game integrity
