Universal Storage II – TAC Life Support

 

Resources

Resource wedges contain stock and Community Resource Pack resources for use in your craft.  All resource wedges are available in four size configurations, allowing for more storage without raising part count.  The core wedges are available in an otherwise stock KSP install, however several of the resources are also used in 3rd party mods and will be available for use in the expanded systems.

Radial Tank

Surface mountable tank which can be configured to carry various resources.  The radial tank makes a great addition to a rover or other small craft.
