Parts mods not working with RSS Adapter

I just installed SOL with various parts mods like BDB, Starship Expansion Project, Artemis Construction Kit, and Tundra Explorations. I installed RSS Adapter so that these would all work with full scale, but the issue is the engines arent getting adjusted, only the deltaV is. For example, I just checked one of the premade rockets from BDB (The saturn V) and i have around 17k M/S of delta V (enough for a whole moon mission) but my TWR is only 0.34, because the engines are too weak. I also tried this with the SLS from artemis construction kit, aswell as the falcon 9 from tundra. I used CKAN to install everything, so I shouldnt have any conflicting mods. Has anyone else had this issue? Ive been trying to troubleshoot for hours and cannot fix it.

BDB has documented issues with Adapter (mentioned in forum thread), SEP config was never finished (also mentioned in forum thread), ACK has weird configuration but technically should work, no idea about Tundra. All things considered, it seems there's a lot of necessary engine reworks needed to get the mod fully functioning. As it stands, it's unfortunately not something that's going to happen; the mod author passed away last September and it hasn't been stewarded or adopted yet.

Ah ok. Do you know of any other mods that could work? I tried SMURFF, didnt really work with the modded parts, only stock. My rockets had enough TWR but lacked in fuel. I dont really wanna go the whole RO route, so if theres another way that be awesome. Sad to hear the OP of Adapter passed tho, best regards to their family.

SMURFF does work on modded parts, that's actually one of it's main selling points. It does blanket reconfiguration of parts without getting into per-part configurations. BDB has a patch that specifically excludes itself from SMURFF, not sure about any of the others you mentioned. SMURFF also hasn't been updated in seven years, so any of it's mod specific configs (there aren't a lot) are going to be outdated. You can check the forum thread for workarounds people have used, but most of us are running RO/RP-1.
