In VAB I create a ship that has enough radiators and a nuclear generator, with radiators extended the heat loop is fine and balanced. Now I pack the radiators and save it, still in VAB.
Problem appears to be the heat loop simulation keeps going while in VAB even if the visualizer window is closed and it saves the ship with whatever temperature the reactor simulation reached at the time of the save. When that ship is deployed to be used the reactor temperature isn't set to 0 but instead to whatever was saved in the VAB resulting in an instant meltdown.
Notice the currentLoopTemperature in the saved ship file:
{
name = ModuleSystemHeat
isEnabled = True
totalSystemTemperature = 750
totalSystemFlux = 50
currentLoopID = 0
currentLoopTemperature = 115407.781
nominalLoopTemperature = 750
currentLoopFlux = 50
stagingEnabled = True
EVENTS
{
}
ACTIONS
{
}
UPGRADESAPPLIED
{
}
}
Whenever you deploy the ship say through Hangar the reactor melts down instantly due to the excessive core temperature.
Other than manually editing the saved ship file is there any workaround to reset the currentLoopTemperature to 0 when saving, or to disable/pause the simulation in VAB?
