Just putting in my suggestion for a feature I would like to see added which is for an option to see dry and wet center of masses. For rockets this usually isn't an issue, but for making stable aircraft and space planes that require keeping lift and mass close together for stability it is important. I have seen a lot of people make planes with lift and mass close together and initially stable to later find after burning some gas the aircraft becomes unstable and crashes due to a change in CoM. Having a tick box to see the dry CoM means you could place fuel tanks and adjust their loads to try keep the movement of the CoM to a minimum which is vital to good aircraft design. This feature could also be usefull for placing RCS thrusters as keeping them close to the CoM and understanding how it will change as fuel is burned. Just my two cents but think it would be a valuable addition

Thanks, i followed your advise and still had the issue. I have found a fix, I configured the ECLSS to a monoprop fuel cell and turned it from running to off and then configured it back to another system such as scrubber. You might be able to reproduce this if you follow the reverse actions. Possibly in the coding it still considers it running if if not configured as the system. Again thanks for your support.

Odd, yeah i have tried making a new vessel in the VAB with update 2.1.2 and still exhibited this behavior. Even tried the latest dev build and even tried making a brand new save with it and still the ECLSS unit was acting as a monoprop fuel cell even if it wasn't configured as one. Here is my save file with a test vessel on the pad

I seem to have found what is responsible. The ECLSS Unit even when configured not to act as a monoprop fuel cell still acts as one. To reproduce, build a vessel containing a probe core, some oxygen tanks, empty nitrogen tanks, monoprop tank, empty water continer, battery with an ECLSS Unit configured any which way and it will slowly convert Mono and oxygen into water and nitrogen. Had four ECLSS Units hidden in the service bay of my docking ship and it would chew through oxygen trying to keep batteries up in the dark.

No, no fuel cell and no hydrogen on board even if I some how managed to put one on without knowing. Edit, After more mucking around i have noticed that monoprop was also being used and nitrogen was actually being produced as well as water. Hints to a mono prop fuel cell however i do not have on on that station. Maybe a ship once docked to the station once did and now it is stuck with the calculation in the background?

Hi all, new to kerbalism and have come a cross an issue. Currently building station around the mun and on sending some tourists over have noticed a spike in oxygen consumption. The vessel goes from having 9 days of oxygen and a low consumption of 0.01 and then spiking up to 10.24 units and only having a couple of minutes worth of supply. Nitrogen consumption also seems to spike at the same time with a similar jump. As far as I can recreate the scenario it happens on the darkside of the mun or if the vessel is in a particular orientation leading me to think a part is occluded from the sun causing this spike. If anyone could guide me as how to check resource consumption on a part by part basis it would be much appreciated.

Hi all, just getting back into KSP and still love Porkjets parts. Just wondering if anyone has seen or know of anyone taking on modeling his plans for the larger engines such in this image. I personally think most off the stock engines are awful and don't fit the rest of the style. Was so excited for all these to get released back in the day but so sad to see it never happened Edited, Now playing around with Vens stock revamp since i found an upto date version
