Resource usage restrictions

[tuckjohn]

I am going to try my hardest to keep this brief.

KSP resource management allows you to prevent resource usage in a part with the green or red symbol next to the resource when your right-click on the part. But let's say that you don't want the electric charge to drop below 50. The best way to do that would be to have not allow electricity to flow from one of your batteries.

But if a feature was implemented that allowed you to "corner off" part of the resources in the part, aka not allowing the last 10% of fuel to be drained. This could be done with a "click and drag" interface, as such that you would click the "don't use this button", and move your mouse across the resource bar to select different amounts of the resource

I hope I explained this in a way that makes sense. Anyway, have a great day!

I approve.

The resource bar should be lockable, when locked; the resource bar should be overlayed with a different color, and draggable to a set amount (default is 100% locked, but draggable to less.) This would also be a quick at-a-glance bar-color feature for when you click something in the resource panel in the toolbar (i.e. showing all LF tanks; and some resource bars are shown as yellow or something, for being locked.)

I have to say, I would IMMENSELY approve of this for reserving just the right amount of dV for landing on a recoverable first stage.
