Electric power generation reduced when engines added to craft.

[EBAO]

Something strange is happened to my fuel cells last night. The FC Array was only producing 9e/s and not the expected 18e/s.

I made a simple test assembly with just a fuel cell array, LfOx tank, grav meter/antenna (to drain charge) and discharged battery, then fired up the fuel cell array, but it ran as expected at 18e/s. When I added an engine to the assembly the output dropped.

More engines dropped the output further. I tried the Rhino, Mainsail, Reliant. All dropped power generation output.

I tried solar as well. The gigantor lost power output with engines added to assembly, but worked just fine when the engines were removed.

Weird. I have a modded 1.04 game, KER, Trajectories, KAC, life support, etc, but nothing that changes the engines from stock configuration.

Tonight I will remove the mods and see if I still get the same bug but first I wanted to check if anyone has heard of such an anomaly to save me some time. I have searched around but no luck finding an answer.

Thanks.

I will have to run a couple of tests to be sure but this sounds very much like another issue caused by bugs and inefficiencies in the Part.RequestResource function (e.g. this, this, this etc.).
