Generator Config?

[Oppum]

I'm trying to make a cheaty generator part for my game, but it doesn't want to generate anything when I turn it on ingame

This is the .cfg:

	MODULE
	{
		 name = ModuleGenerator
		 OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		 {
			ResourceName = ElectricCharge
			Ratio = 999999
			rate = 999999
		 }
		 OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		 {
			ResourceName = LiquidFuel
			Ratio = 999999
			rate = 999999
		 }
		 OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		 {
			ResourceName = Oxidizer
			Ratio = 999999
			rate = 999999
		 }
		 OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		 {
			ResourceName = XenonGas
			Ratio = 999999
			rate = 999999
		 }
		 OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		 {
			ResourceName = MonoPropellant
			Ratio = 999999
			rate = 999999
		 }
	}

that's not the entire cfg, just the part that matters

How do I make it so it actually generates the resources when I turn it on ingame?

Looking at the RTG (the closest thing to what I think you want)

	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleGenerator
		isAlwaysActive = true
		OUTPUT_RESOURCE
		{
			name = ElectricCharge
			rate = 0.75
		}
	}

I say you should change ResourceName to name, and remove Ratio. Maybe also add isAlwaysActive = false as well. Don't know about making a button for it, or if that will happen automatically if it's not always active.

Hi below is one of my universal module setups i use when setting up new parts ,  to generate your extra resources simply add them in in the same format as the one already there . This generator only supplies when it is switched on via gui

MODULE
	{
	name = ModuleGenerator
	isAlwaysActive = false   // only active when switched on 
	statusGUIName = FuelGen  // will appear in right click menu
	activateGUIName = FuelON  // will appear in right click menu
	shutdownGUIName = FuelOff  // will appear in right click menu
	OUTPUT_RESOURCE
	{
	   name = LiquidFuel // resource
	   rate = 100	   // how much 
	}	
	OUTPUT_RESOURCE
	{
	   name = ElectricCharge
	   rate = 100
	}	
}

This is necro, but I just stumbled upon this.

A launch clamp with ModuleGenerator which is set

isAlwaysActive = false

will not have a button to toggle in VAB to consider.

This must be a stock bug. Still.  In KSP 1.10.1

 

Edit:

I found it - darn, the good old AFLC patch did this mistake (never put FINAL on legacy-type patches - some old config suggestion from an old forum post was in my copy):
