Version 1.3.1 OS: Win7 64bit Mods: Mechjeb2, Kerbal Alarm Clock, Transfer window planner (I believe that mods doesn't affect this problem) Problem: Fuel does not properly depleate within one asparagus stage. How to replicate: S3-14400 tank with S3 KS-25 engine in the middle On six structural pylons are six LFB KR-1x2 engines with six Jumbo 64 tanks on top of them. All attached in symetry mode. Boosters are propperly seperated to three stages with propper connecting by fuel ducts with symetry mode off. Expected behavior: last stage feeds fuel to the engine and to the next stages. Flow priority of boar engines is fine. Each stage has priority smaller than previous one. But all tanks on top of engines have the same priority and they are depleating together. It is not possible to adjust priority of tanks added in symetry mode separately to match priority of the corresponding engines. Only workaround is to turn off symetry mode and build rocket one part by one. Which is extremely painful experience if you have some tilted nose cones, separatrons, struts etc. Suggestion: flow priority of all parts of one stage should be the same. Possibility to change priority of parts added in symetry mode would be also great. Something like CTRL+click. https://www.dropbox.com/s/p9lhclsf019waue/Harvester XL.craft?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/radfics0dtzvdyr/Screenshots.zip?dl=0 Thank you. Your big fan Petr -
I'm having a devil of a time trying to stack multiple LF-only tanks to fill the 2.5m form factor and put a single LV-N Nerf underneath it. These are two designs that do NOT work: In the first design, I used the Tri-Adapter to take 3 stacks down to one 2.5m node. It is impossible to get fuel lines from the tanks to the engine, they just end up attaching to the adapter. I then found that I could still attach mk0 tanks to the 3 nodes, clipping through the adapter. Fuel lines to the LV-N and everything seemed to work fine, only it doesn't: even though they are connected at the same node, th mk0 tanks don't draw fuel from the Mk1 tanks. Of course, I had to be well into my interplanetary burn by the time I found this out, so that was a huge pain. In the second design, I thought the Mk2 Bicoupler might work. The LV-N draws fuel fine from the bicoupler, so I just removed the oxide and added Mk1 tanks above. And again, it was only on the interplanetary burn that I found out that the bicoupler will NOT draw/allow the transfer of fuel from the connected mk1 tanks. Again, fun to have to transfer fuel every minute or so on a long burn. So, has anyone found a way to get this to work? I'm coming to the conclusion that I'll just have to bite the bullet and clip the engine into the parallel stacks of tanks. or clip a cubic thingy into the tanks and attach the engine to that. The downside is obviously the time and effort making sure the thing is actually perfectly central.
