Asparagus fuel distribution problem.


Recommended Posts

Version 1.3.1 OS: Win7 64bit

Mods: Mechjeb2, Kerbal Alarm Clock, Transfer window planner (I believe that mods doesn't affect this problem)

Problem: Fuel does not properly depleate within one asparagus stage.

How to replicate: S3-14400 tank with S3 KS-25 engine in the middle
On six structural pylons are six LFB KR-1x2 engines with six Jumbo 64 tanks on top of them. All attached in symetry mode. Boosters are propperly seperated to three stages with propper connecting by fuel ducts with symetry mode off.

Expected behavior: last stage feeds fuel to the engine and to the next stages. Flow priority of boar engines is fine. Each stage has priority smaller than previous one. But all tanks on top of engines have the same priority and they are depleating together. It is not possible to adjust priority of tanks added in symetry mode separately to match priority of the corresponding engines.

Only workaround is to turn off symetry mode and build rocket one part by one. Which is extremely painful experience if you have some tilted nose cones, separatrons, struts etc.

Suggestion: flow priority of all parts of one stage should be the same. Possibility to change priority of parts added in symetry mode would be also great. Something like CTRL+click.
