intake air problem

[horace]

i have a mod which is an engine which has intake air, but the engine said intake air deprived and the status of intake was #autoLOC_8005416

"A mod" and "an engine" don't really tell anyone enough to offer anything but very general help (such as; how high/fast does this happen?).

Problems/Questions about a specific mod are usually best addressed in that mod's own thread, because its author and users will most likely be active there.

If you are *writing* this mod and don't know how to deal with intake air then Add-On Development is the best place to look.

Question moved to modded support, where folks will need a lot more information to help diagnose your problem. Please list the mods you're using and a picture of the craft in question is often illuminating.

This is happening in Stock 1.5.1 as well. A closed intake has a status of "#autoLOC_8005416".

The bug is in the localization. The behaviour, though, is normal and you should only need to open the intake to have it gather intake air again. It sounds like @horace's problem is the intakes are just closed. You can open and close the intakes during assembly.

By any chance is this modded engine your JX-5 "Joanna" engine with the integrated shock cone intake?

@horace You need to review your configuration for this engine. You have ModuleResourceIntake defined twice, and in the Spaceplane Hangar the engine has "Close Intake" listed twice. I also can't seem to open either intake on the runway, so they stay closed at all times.

Just comparing this engine to the other engine with an integrated intake, the Goliath, I tried copying some of the Goliath's properties to this thing. For instance, apparently ModuleResourceIntake needs to be first before any other module is added. But that alone didn't fix things; it still came up as Closed. Maybe try enabling surface attachment for this engine to see if exposing the front of it lets it work.

I've never tried adding an intake module to a non-intake part before. Not sure what other requirements there are. But that's all I can try for now.
