I play bob's with Angel's. Angel's smelting solves the ore problems you're trying to fix here (does exactly what you're saying with the minor/major ores but better), and angel's petrochem does a lot more chemistry including several uses for coal and better rocket fuel recipes.

But I am interested in the use of nitinol/tungsten/v8 modules in rocket component production. I used to use SpaceMod for the proper bob's endgame but it's temporarily broken. Is it possible to add a settings flag to only enable the satellite + endgame changes?

I have a separate mod up for that. Let me see if I can quickly hack something up, if not I'll have to put it up in 48 hours (I'm currently moving)

Alright, I managed to get it up in a quick hack, so go to

For the download link. Or seach CMH in the mod portal.

Thanks, looks great! Is there any chance you could put in an in-game start up setting to remove the necessity of having 2 separate incompatible mods?
