[1.0.2] LiquidTanks: LF-only tanks for nuclear engines

[FishInferno]

1.0 brought lots of new changes, and one of them was that now, nuclear engines only require liquid fueled engines to run. This would be a goo thing, but currently the only LF-only tanks are aircraft parts, which do not make very good interplanetary motherships. This mod adds a new version of each stock fuel tank that contains only liquid fuel, so you can go on building interplanetary craft as you did before 1.0!

Requires ModuleManager, but patch is included in download

You beat me by like, a day.

Is this done through tweakables or with a a load of extra parts in the parts menu? Would love to be able to do this with just tweakables to keep things neat.

Is there a game mechanic I miss or is it the same as just leaving the oxidizer at home?

[cy-one]

It should be possible to use MM in combination with either FSFuelSwitch or InterstellarFuelSwitch to patch all fuel tanks to be able to switch between LFO, LF and O, including more "LF" and more "O" if the tank is only used for that.

If nobody else does it, I will do it once I actually unlock a nuclear engine

This adds new parts. IN the stock game, you can tweak out the oxidizer, but you cannot add extra LF, so you have a half-full tank and wasted mass

Very nice man!

Very nice man!

thanks!

Huh, why did someone rate this one star?

Where do you rate stuff? You deserve rep just for doing this. I personally use FSfuelswitch, but stuff like this *should* have been in the stock game since they made the choice to switch the nuke to LF only

The rating is in the top right corner of the thread, and rep goes in the bottom left corner of a post.

Thanks:)

You think? The aircraft parts make nice looking interplanetary motherships. At least if you use adapters (which need fuelswitch to be liquid only at full efficiency, tho).

[FishInferno]

I'd be very interested in that. As much as the stock problem is annoying, I really don't want to double the number of fuel tank parts.

Yes, that is the problem I guess. Luckily it reuses the stock texture so there is minimal RAM usage

[jofwu]

Woops, sorry I tried to ninja-delete my post. Turns out Porkjet has already done it. Not fast enough! It's not so much the RAM usage as it is parts list clutter that I was afraid of. For some people though I think yours is definitely a better solution!

Nice, but I will pass. I would rather just right click and drag the oxidizer out.

So you'll have a half empty tank then. Not very efficient
