  1. Thanks, I didn't think of going negative with the values. I'll experiment..
  2. I'm having trouble with ISRU refrigeration -- want to convert from gases mined from regolith to liquid forms for fusion pellet manufacture. It seems straightforward --but the refrigerator never does anything. testbed: https://ibb.co/f2ZzgKC Specifically, status is always offline whether the Activate button is pressed or not, whether the mysterious LqdDeut<->Deut numerical field is 0 or 100 or anything in between. Power is definitely available, I added a MJ capacitor at 0, and watch it fill up to 1000MJ at the launch pad very quickly. Additionally, is matter (deuterium in this case but generally) supposed to automatically transit between parts? I have a tank with Deuterium in it, and a tank to receive the LiquidDeuterium, but nothing is moving between the three. It doesn't improve the situation if I start the refrigerator module off with some Deuterium. I must be doing something silly wrong here. Edit: screenshot shows helium3 testbed but same results for deuterium or he3. Edit2: For posterity and similarly confused people, I figured this out. Here is what to know: 1. conversion of Deuterium to LqdDeuterium does not occur unless 100.0 units are available -- this was what made me think the whole thing was broken, I only had smaller amounts of Deuterium (was mining a single 1500.0 of regolith, which resulted in far less than 100.0, when I massively scaled up the amount of regolith in my testbed, stuff started working) 2. the A<-->LqdA numerical value just needs to be 1, any value in [1,99] seems to work but 0 and 100 do not.
