Here you go. I don't know how to make it big in this form so here is a link to imgur

I'm having problems with my orbital construction site. It seems that my orbital factories are bugged, it says there isn't enough room for more rocket parts but every container is empty there is plenty of ore and metal and crew and I had successfully built other craft earlier. Any ideas?

I come into a conflict problem between Karbonite drills and Interstellar Lite. interstellar lite uses ORS DLL 1_2_1.dll which breaks Karbonite drills while Karbonite uses 1.2.0.dll which breaks all the resource items in Interstellar Lite. Is there a way to resolve this conflict?

Sorry about the aggressive response, I just got really frustrated with people telling me that was the problem when I was having the same problem as the previous guy.

They are in fact not decorative. They work, and if you want proof you can go into interstellar mod folder and look where it calls the B9 precooler and adds the mechanic to the part. Also update interstellar they have fixed it in the latest 10.3 version I just tested it with my SSTO

You are probably using interstellar, and what i've found is that interstellar has a bug that makes it think that your engines are always in the atmosphere, thus why when you're in space you still have overheating problems because it's treating the object as if it were in atmosphere. The solution to this is to add a precooler, they work in this case because interstellar has a heat mechanic it institutes for them, and if that's not working add multiple of them, I.E. using splitters to connect multiple intake precooler combos' this gives you higher allowance to do the maneuvers needed in space. In this case the precooler has to be connected to the intake, you also cannot stake multiple precoolers behind one intake.

Trying to create a heavy lift ssto, so i'm using 8 S's and 1 M.

I am also curious about this, it has broken large b9 space planes. It seems that overheating is attached to how fast you're going regardless if your in the atmosphere or not. In fact going retrograde at full throttle decreases overheat dramatically whilst going forward at the limit even with 1% thrust will blow those things up.

Yep there appears to be a bug where heat is not actually stored heat but rather a ratio to how fast you're going compared to your precoolers. I went retro grade turned engines full blast, and they started cooling down which is obviously counter intuitive.

I have a sneaky suspicion the game screws up in the sense that the precoolers are the problem. Even with heath production at 0, i'm still overheated. I think there is a correlation between what the game thinks is your speed and your heat and that because the precoolers don't lose their heat like they are supposed to they are scaling with relative speed regardless of atmosphere.

Ah Yes, I thought of this as well, and it seems to have no effect currently heat production is 30

Ah yes, well I have gotten to orbit, but once there my engines do not cool down. They stay overheated for no apparent reason, which obviously doesn't allow me to make any extra maneuvers.

I would appreciate that, thank you.

Just for clarification i'm not using Thermal Turbojets i'm using SABRE engines.

So using the precoolers seen in the youtube video you linked me seems to have done something, and I have managed to get this thing into space (every intake also has a precooler attached to a sabre engine) however the heat is not dissipating once i'm in space, staying near max overheating well into the flight. My other craft which I have tested do not have this problem, any suggestions there?

Tried using the Interstellar Precoolers, and they don't seem to have any effect, overheating happens at the same time in the flight. I need to set up a new KSP without interstellar as a mod to see the effect.

I do have interstellar, however attaching any of those radiators from inline to the side one's has no effect seeing over heat happen at ~700 m/s.

Running .23 with the updated .dll's I'm having a horrible time trying to get the SABRE engines to not overheat around 1400 m/s at 24,000 meters. This is even with some of the provided ssto's example craft. Does any one have any suggestions on how to avoid this silly over heating problem? Yes i'm using objects such pre-coolers (although they don't actively do anything) to help dissipate the heat. I'm just not able to go fast enough to escape the atmosphere before my engines overheat.
