ISRU limits

[Xannari Ferrows]

I've got different sized ISRUs put into the game, all balanced according to their size. While they function greatly now, there's a problem I can't seem to find a solution for.

I've made 2 new resources: Liquid Hydrogen, and Magnesium Oxide. [H_2L MgO]

I've made a converter module for both of them:

name = LiquidHydrogen
density = 0.0000012
unitCost = 0
hsp = 250
flowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW
transfer = PUMP
isTweakable = false
}

RESOURCE_DEFINITION{

name = ModuleResourceConverter
ConverterName = LqdHydrogen
StartActionName = Start ISRU [LqdH]
StopActionName = Stop ISRU [LqdH]
AutoShutdown = false
GeneratesHeat = false
UseSpecialistBonus = true
SpecialistEfficiencyFactor = 0.2
SpecialistBonusBase = 0.05
Specialty = Engineer
EfficiencyBonus = 1


INPUT_RESOURCE
{
ResourceName = Ore
Ratio = 1
}
INPUT_RESOURCE
{
ResourceName = ElectricCharge
Ratio = 29
}
OUTPUT_RESOURCE
{
ResourceName = LiquidHydrogen
Ratio = 8333.3
DumpExcess = false
FlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW
}
}

[FONT=Verdana]MODULE[/FONT]    {

name = MagnesiumOxide
density = 0.00358
unitCost = 0.008
hsp = 955
flowMode = NO_FLOW
transfer = NONE
isTweakable = true

RESOURCE_DEFINITION{

name = ModuleResourceConverter
ConverterName = MagnesiumOxide
StartActionName = Start ISRU [MgO]
StopActionName = Stop ISRU [MgO]
AutoShutdown = false
GeneratesHeat = false
UseSpecialistBonus = true
SpecialistEfficiencyFactor = 0.2
SpecialistBonusBase = 0.05
Specialty = Engineer
EfficiencyBonus = 1


INPUT_RESOURCE
{
ResourceName = Ore
Ratio = 1
}
INPUT_RESOURCE
{
ResourceName = ElectricCharge
Ratio = 30
}
OUTPUT_RESOURCE
{
ResourceName = MagnesiumOxide
Ratio = 2.7932960893854748603351955307263
DumpExcess = false
FlowMode = STAGE_PRIORITY_FLOW
}
}

[FONT=Verdana]MODULE[/FONT]    {

As far as I can tell, there are no issues with either of these. However, for some reason, the ISRU doesn't support the Magnesium Oxide. This really confuses me, because at first I thought it was due to too many modules on the single part at once, but after removing the LF and Ox modules, it still didn't work.

I tried also bundling it with the Hydrogen, but then it doesn't accept the module at all.

Is this some sort of bug I'm getting? Or is this just some limit to the ISRU?

Maybe it's Mr. NaN?

RESOURCE_DEFINITION
{
    name = MagnesiumOxide
    density = 0.00358
    unitCost = 0.008
    hsp = 955
    [B]flowMode = NO_FLOW[/B]
    [B]transfer = NONE[/B]
    isTweakable = true
}

I believe that is your problem. To test you can either add a MagnesiumOxide container directly to the ISRU unit (a trick I do to represent carbon build-up) or you can change the flow mode, whatever's easier for you.

If that worked, would it appear in the part description? Maybe so if it's due to the flow mode, so I'll try that.

EDIT: Still not there. I think this may just be a limit of the plugin itself, but it's so unusual.

Total shot in the dark here but maybe the parser is having problems with all the digits on the output ratio.

That was the 3rd thing I tried. I was like "Maybe I shouldn't be so precise?"

Oddly enough, and shockingly, it didn't work either. Maybe I can try the bundling thing again.
