KSP Interstellar Extended Support Thread

So based on launchpad testing I found that the magnetized target fusion reactor would be able to idle at low power for something on the order of years to power a science lab in orbit around duna & provide thrust to a thermal nozzle. I designed a long-haul ship that would live in orbit around kerbin and fly my kerbals to different planets to get science and chuck it into a lab. It looks like resource consumption with timewarp active is bugged? After about 300 days of timewarp -> transmit science -> timewarp the reactor informed me it ran out of fuel, stranding my kerbals around Duna. Upon further investigation while timewarping the reactor's status would occasionally spike to Active - 100% despite being stable at <1% without time warp on. I can only conclude this is the result of timewarp bugging the resource consumption. Are there any steps to mitigate this? I can't just shut the reactor down as it exists to power the ship (i.e. science lab) through timewarps. Plus if I go to Jool the amount of solar energy I'd have to bring would be annoying considering I have a nuclear reactor on board. -

I'm having an issue where the plasma nozzle is unable to have attachments on more than one end of it - making attaching a decoupler to it impossible. Basically if I have a plasma nozzle at the bottom of my stack, I cannot attach a decoupler. I thought to workaround this by taking the nozzle off, attaching a decoupler to the bottom of my stack, attaching the plasma nozzle (flipped 180 degrees) to it, then taking the decoupler + nozzle off, flipping it again and reattaching to the bottom of the stack. While I could attach the decoupler to the nozzle this way, I couldn't then attach the nozzle + decoupler back to the bottom of the stack! Here's an image to demonstrate the lack of attachment, notice the TD-25 decoupler at the bottom of the nozzle that isn't attaching: And the attempted solution (nozzle + decoupler after doing some flippy-dos) Pretty annoying issue. I'm noticing that the nozzle still has the green/black spheres that I assume represent attachment points on either end of it, indicating that attaching things should be possible. But it's just not working.
