Flag As Cargo Item

Mod for Kerbal Space Program changing flags to cargo items.

Plant flag.

Receive funds.

No more!

When I first saw the 1.11 trailer I thought to myself "Finally, no more infinite flags!" but I was wrong... I then asked on reddit if people would like to see flags as a cargo item and with 86 voters I had a score of... perfect 50/50! I also asked if somebody knew a mod capable of doing this, nobody answered. Therefore…

Introducing Flag As Cargo Item!

Flags are now stackable cargo items! Don’t forget to store them in your ship in order to plant this glorious 1 meter stick with cloth.

(The description comes from redditor Anameonreddit which commented my poll)

You can even craft them with ore with my other mod Ore To Parts!

Known issues!

• If you have an engineer trying to "construct" the flag, you’ll see a dull cylinder smashing explosively on the ground! => The 1.12 changelog says Decreased a height error check from 0.2m to 0.1m, in order to support smaller parts, and preventing them to sink into the ground.. Although the flag is 0.7m this might be the cause. Sorry.
