protochicken

Worked for me.

Fair enough. Quickloading didn't seem to fix it for me, but if it's a known issue I will not worry about it. I noticed in my testing this evening that the Candle no longer generates any thermal power at all unless it is under thrust. Is this a bug? Or did I miss something in the release notes.

I do not. It's a simple craft, just the engine, fuel, battery, RCS,. probe core, and docking clamp. It was build to fly out and dock with a space station that needed additional power generation. I will fiddle with it more when I get home from work and see if I can find more details.

I seem to be running in to a bug with the Candle engine now. It used to generate electricity on its own, and now no longer does. I have tried quick save/quick load with no result, as well as closing the game and re-opening it. Am I missing something? Sorry if I missed something in the notes; I did look, but did not see anything about the Candle. Edit: It seems that the engine has stopped producing megajoules. It has lots of thermal power, I don't know what would cause this. It most likely happened after docking the probe with a station. Edit 2: Second probe, all worked perfectly until I docked, then MJ production stopped again.

I have been looking for the last few days trying to find a way to generate positrons for the positron reactor. I tried the penning traps, AM generators, collectors, basically anything that seemed like it might generate any kind of AM. I am able to generate antimatter easily enough, but positrons as a distinct resource seem to be evading me. Am I missing something? I like the power/cost ratio of the positron reactors, but cannot make a self-sustaining ship right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
