  1. @Galile-Ho @NathanKell Per: https://history.nasa.gov/afj/aoh/aoh-v1-2-04-sps.pdf Apollo didn't always require RCS settling prior to RCS burns, only once about half of the propellent in the tanks was depleted, through some combination of sump tanks and valving. That's probably beyond what Real Fuels will ever support, but it probably worth noting that it's not an all-or-nothing proposition. However, do you think it would be worth considering having a "Pressurized bladder" tank type whose costs and mass are not that much worse than normal pressurized at low volumes but that gets ruinously massive beyond some "reasonable" size? Then pressure-fed engines could check for either settled fuel in a pressurized tank or any fuel regardless of its stability in a bladder tank. You could go even further (this is probably getting beyond what's reasonable for gameplay) and have a pump part that would automatically refill bladder tanks from pressurized non-bladder tanks when the fuel is settled at some max rate (to prevent abuse by having a small bladder tank connected to a bigger non-bladder tank).
  2. @NathanKell Jeez, is that what causes that? Always drove me crazy. Would putting a strut between them and offsetting it into the parent part so it's visually the same prevent the issue?
