I want to be able to connect multiple engines to one adapter!

I feel it would be a very nice, helpful change!

Not sure if this is what you were talking about but it might be close.
Start with whatever you are wanting to mount multiple objects to. Here is a fuel tank.I add some of the small cubic octagonal struts.

Then rotate them up into the object.

This leaves new mount points for you to add things to. Here I added a cluster engines.

Can't you just do all of that with a pre-built structural part (for that specific scenario)?

The AIES mod allows attaching multiple engines to one fuel tank. It has not been updated for .90 yet.

EDIT: Took out what I said about youtube video. Tried it myself did not work.

If you want to use a Mod.. Space Y has a ton of cool adapters like this of all sizes. it even puts the farrings on them . here are a few examples. it is .90

Sure. I was just showing the OP since it seemed they already saw those and were looking for something else. What I posted was more a general guide to give the OP an idea on how to make his own mounts.

The method that woody referred to in the video does work, but only with the part clipping cheat enabled.

1. Press alt-f12 and enable part clipping
2. Connect an engine to the adapter and use the translation gizmo and slide it to where you want it placed.
3. when part clipping is enabled the attachment point will reappear and you can attach more engines.

So that is how he did it. I tried every which way I could think of except enabling part clipping. Nice to know, it was frustrating me trying to figure out.

I think Kerbonov had this radial multi-engine cluster for rockomax and bigger tank sizes, and I remember there being a standalone cluster adapter somewhere.

No mean at the bottom of that set-up you attack another adapter, crating a continous streamline.

Try something like this.

By using a few gurders or even cubic struts you can attach anything you like below your new engine cluster. I just threw this together but you can see the gurders and a small decoupler. The struts and framework help support the top and prevent any sway.

** The decoulpler was moved down because of past issues with it causing damage when it is detached. So out of paranoia I move it under a gurder.
