The fuel cell Anomaly!

[Sorabh]

I returned to KSP after a long time today, and noticed something odd while building my fuel cell powered ion probe..

Instead of the regular 18 EC/s, my fuel cell array was producing about 108 EC/s!

Same with the smaller fuel cell, instead of 1.5 EC/s, it was producing 9EC/s.....

I looked at the cfg file, and it mentioned that the charge for the fuel cell array should be 18EC/s.

So, what exactly is happening? Is it because of a mod? Or is something more sinister at play??

A mod would be a more likely explanation than whatever other 'sinister' explanation you're envisioning.

Do the following:

1. Delete your ModuleManager.ConfigCache file and then run the game. (this is necessary to force Module Manager to reapply all patches which it will then log to your log file)
2. Check your log file and search for Squad/Parts/Resources/FuelCell/FuelCellArray. You want the lines that end with something like '(applying some patch name)  to Squad/Parts/Resources/FuelCell/FuelCellArray'

Those are the patches that are modifying that part.

Example:

Quote

Applying update IoncrossCrewSupport/Ioncross.RF.FuelCells/@PART[FuelCellArray|SDHI_2.5_ServiceModule|SDHI_2.5_AvionicsRing] to Squad/Parts/Resources/FuelCell/FuelCellArray/PART

In the example above, IoncrossCrewSupport mod has applied a patch to the FuelCellArray PART node. (among other parts)
