I am getting into station building quite a bit, and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to allow multiple modules to act as one in regards to UMMU and UCGO. I realize there is a generic UCGO and UMMU addon, but was wondering if there is perhaps something that would allow me to link the seperate modules instead of each acting as their own seperate block. The reason for this is that I am building a rather large station, and managing each block individually would be a colossal pain in the ass (im talking on the order of 100 or so different modules).

If i am not explaining this correctly, and anyone needs clarification, please ask.
 
The idea is great, but it is impossible with the means existing for the time being. But talking about wishes, why to stop on UMMU? There is a strong need in some universal tool that will let user to handle multi-module stack as a simple single vessel. The resulting vessel should inherit from its components the net fuel, free docking ports, UMMU units; ideally it should recognize and operate all RCS thrusters of stacked modules as the RCS of single vessel regarding the resulting net COG (I've seen the tool that makes the latter, but I believe it was not fully operable).

P.S. It should make coffee as well.

I also feel that I will experience the same requirement with Gateway Station. In response to PeterRoss, What would it take to make such a tool? Coding I imagine. Is there something from the ISS add-ons that could act as a script or storyline for the needed module of code. Is there another station add-on with similar methods and symptoms?
 
Well, I don't want to say that it's impossible, but I sure don't know enough to do it. The missions on "To The Moon In 24 Hours" does something quite similar. But TTM24 is very hard to come by anymore.
Sad, because it's an excellent set of missions.
