So what is the correct algorithm for allocating them now? I don't think it changes that much. Just total up the engines' ratios, instead of simply counting them. Then divide up the intakes between them weighted by ratio, instead of equally as before. On a related subject, it might be handy for the tool to provide an estimate of whether the engines are sufficiently supplied in the first place. I've definitely had to do some trial and error, even with the rule of thumb that each engine needs 0.02 or whatever. Now that engines require different amounts each, it would be great to indicate (colouring the lines in the IBA window?) whether that's enough intake area or not. I might write a patch for that, in my Copious Free Time, but it's a busy time at work so I don't know if that's going to happen.

I pulled the code from Github and patched it - ModuleResourceIntake.area is now a double, not a float. Small tweak to IBA's bookkeeping, and it's all working again. I suspect that "Field .ModuleResourceIntake.area not found" message was somewhat misleading; it's really searching for field by type and name, not just name. Sent a PR on Github https://github.com/LordFjord/KSP/pull/2 and uploaded an unofficial release to my branch: https://github.com/shepheb/KSP/releases/tag/v105. Thanks for a great mod!
