ModuleAlternator vs ElectricCharge

[Fengist]

Ok, here's an oddity and not sure if it can be fixed.

I have a part with both an engine and electric charge.

If I do this:

	RESOURCE
	{
		name = ElectricCharge
		amount = 50
		maxAmount = 50
		isTweakable = false
		hideFlow = true
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleAlternator
		RESOURCE
		{
			name = ElectricCharge
			rate = 20
		}
	}

When I launch, the battery is at 0 charge.

Is there no way to have an alternator and battery on the same part?

Greetings Fengist,

While im still in the initial stages of modding outright myself.. the configuration files I dabble with to construct my train diesel electric system are modified jet engines to a point,

they have 24 units of battery to run lights when stationary in an emergency.. the only difference I can see between the two is the order,

perhaps it makes a difference?
