• Recycler UI:
  • Part tree may be filtered by part name
    • Search term is case insensitive and will match any part whose title contains it.
    • Filtering is started in 0.5s after you stopped typing.
    • Filtering is not instant: when the search term is yellow (configurable color) the search is in progress; when it becomes green (configurable color) the search is complete and the filtered part tree is displayed.
    • Parts that do not match the term are not shown in the part tree unless they are ancestors to those that match.
    • Matched parts that has children remain togglable, so that you can access their subtree. Other parts of the filtered tree are not togglable.
    • Recycling in the filtered tree works exactly the same.
  • A part is highlighted when mouse hovers over corresponding part tree node
• Added spotlights to the Space Crane
• Added AutoSave option to the Main GC Window
• Fixed detection of the Orbital Container by workshops (thanks @ChrisF0001 for the report)

• Supports KSP-1.8.1
• Recycle nearby vessels back into Mat.Kits and Sp.Parts:
  • Recycling is done by the construction workshops.
  • Nearby means no further than 300m from the workshop, like the construction limit for ground workshops.
  • Recycling is done part-by-part in the order in which the vessel was assembled in VAB/SPH, i.e. along the Part Tree.
  • A vessel may be recycled partially, i.e. you may choose to recycle just one branch of the Part Tree, or even a single leaf part.
  • The obtained resources (MK, SP and anything that was inside of a recycled part) are moved into the recycling vessel and distributed within available storage.
    • If there's no room left for a resource, the part is not recycled, but skipped, and the Recycler moves on and tries to recycle other available parts.
  • If there's crew inside of a part, it is skipped.
  • Orbital Workshop also recycles remotely.
  • The vessel to which the workshop belongs can also be recycled, with the exception of the workshop itself.
• Creation of an empty kit container consumes resources that would be required to actually assemble and construct it.
• Added the Final Assembly - last phase of the construction: It represents some work that needs to be done after construction is complete. Does not require any resources but the time.
• Numerous bugfixes and improvements:
  • Do not allow assembly/construction in the docked container if it is not docked through the construction node.
  • If the effective workforce is zero, the construction is stopped.
  • Deploy hint is disabled when the payload is launched.
  • Added ModuleConstructionKit and DockedKitContainer to ignored PartModules.
  • Improved Docked Kit Container texture.
  • Fixed resizing with KJRn and robotic parts.
  • Fixed NRE in part prefabs of ConstructionWorkshops.
  • Multiple fixes in the assembly/construction framework.
  • Multiple fixes in docked spawning.
  • Several fixes in spawning of empty containers.
  • Fixed infinite loop in WorkshopBase.start_next_item.
  • Corrected some typos.

See the video for details

• Vessels constructed inside Orbital Kit Container can be docked to the main vessel instead of the container when launched.
• Orientation of deployment/spawning can be changed (in 90 degrees steps around Up axis) from the container's part menu and from the workshop UI.
• Added in-editor information window that shows assembly/construction requirements for the current ship, and shows bottom-most attach nodes available for docked construction.
• Deployment hint shows silhouette of the vessel that will be constructed in addition to the size of the deployed container.
• Deployment hint may be shown/hidden per container.
• Added part menu button to add a single part to the container in editor.
• Added warnings that prevent accidental deployment.
• Corrected Vessel/PartKit requirements calculations. Now resources that are not stripped away when a kit is created do not contribute to complexity and construction resource requirements.
• A PartKit costs at least dry-part-cost*0.1.
• Fixed kit resizing on kit creation/deployment in flight.

Note for modders: the excluded part modules are listed in the IgnoreModules.cfg and could be added/changed using MM.

• !!! BACK UP YOUR SAVES !!!

• DIY Kits can now be created on other planets.
  • To build a new kit you'll need the Ground Assembly Line (a new part that you'll have to build from a DIY Kit brought from Kerbin) and a supply of Material Kits.
  • The Assembly Line will first (painfully slow) convert Material Kits to Specialized Parts.
  • Then you can select either a vessel from VAB/SPH, or a subassembly, and build a new DIY Kit using Specialized Parts, Electric Charge and kerbal engineers with Construction Skill.
  • The new kit is then spawned inside the Assembly Line and pushed out. At the top it has a place (marked by a small metal plate at the center) where any stock docking port can couple, so you can use it to grab the kit and transport it elsewhere.
  • Unlike kits produced on Kerbin (in Editor), off-world kits have NO recourses included. None at all. So, for example, if you build a nuclear reactor kit, on Kerbit it will include the radioactive fuel; but anywhere else you will have to find and transfer the fuel yourself.
• REMOVED workshop functionality from generic crewable parts.
  • This means that all non-GC/non-MKS parts will stop work as workshops. If a base relies on them, you need to build the Mobile Workshop there before installing GC2. Or you can copy MM patch from GC1 after the installation.
  • On the bright side, there's a new Inline Ground Workshop part that has better efficiency than most of the generic workshops.
• Fixed the deployment of a kit in a time warp; the kit doesn't jump into the air afterwards anymore.
• Fixed the issue with determining the proper size of the stock RadialDrill.
