Vehicle splitting and creation is now kinda a thing!

In the latest build you can now create new vehicles:So to create new vehicles. you have to start with editing an existing vehicle in the game.
I've also added a new hotkey "Shift-E" to make it easier to open the dev vehicle editor tol. Then drag parts off.. or even add new ones etc.

For each detached (separated from the original vehicle) stack of parts you have to open the part menu (right click) and set the "Create New Vehicle" checkbox on.
Then when you exit the Vehicle editor it will create new vehicles with all the attached parts for each detached stack that you set the checkbox on for.
Of course this is all temporary - to just prove the concept works and give us a way to do this for now.

@JPLRepo could you write a short guide on how to use the editor effectively please? I've tried, but I just can't get my head around how I can add parts or create multi-part vehicles.

Thanks!

The editor is still very much a work in progress. Anything I write will be out of date tomorrow. Also the attached nodes work is still very much under construction.
As soon as we have something a bit more complete and stable will put something together.
