Simple ElectricCharge question (.cfg)

[MatterBeam]

I'm trying to make a part consume electricity just for the sake of consuming electricity.

In .cfg files, I know of ModuleGenerator that converts INPUT_RESOURCE into OUTPUT_RESOURCE, or ModuleAlternator, that just creates a resource, but I don't know of any Module which acts as the opposite of ModuleAlternator, as in, it simply consumes a resource.

Can I: use negative values in ModuleAlternator?

use another, dedicated resource-consuming Module?

- - - Updated - - -

For now I'm using ModuleGenerator where the OUTPUT_RESOURCE has a value of zero.

What is use the electricity ?

EDIT- This should just use it.

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleGenerator
	isAlwaysActive = true
	INPUT_RESOURCE
	{
	   name = ElectricCharge
	   rate = 0.75
	}	
}

EDIT- In some older mod to get them to work in .90 use

RESOURCE
{
	name = ElectricCharge
	amount = 0
	maxAmount = 0
  	isTweakable = false
	hideFlow = true
}

Thank you!

I gotta say, a part to use up electric charge... just for the sake of using up electric charge... well, it's actually sounding extremely "kerbal" to do that, but I really don't see much point otherwise.

Krakenfour, thanx for asking this....I have the same problem with a part that I made.

MeCripp, thanx for a helpful answer.

I'm making a special fuel tank that needs to keep its contents heated. Therefore, it consumes energy without 'producing' any other resource.
