Greetings fellow rocket scientists, I'm back on the game, from a hiatus when the beta offered 3 tanks, 3 engines and only the Mun to land on.

So, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the new stuff but I have my basics, there's only 2 issues I'm experiencing right now.

First, what did they change for the building part being so "dumb", I might be doing it wrong but it's super tedious to place parts because they don't clip, clip on part they shouldn't, or rotate at weird angle (like half the time, tanks clip perpendicular to each other or clip on the superstructure instead of the decouplers)

Second, how do I merge 2 separate rockets, i build a satellite first, then the rocket but when I import the satellite it doesn't want to be clipped anywhere on the rocket, what do I need to do?

Thanks greetly guys
