I wanted to have an extra reason for having radiators or a large mass for heat to flow into. And so I want to write a MM script to make it possible, until Squad puts it in as stock.

Since I don't have experience with Module Manager, this will take a bit of time (very busy nowadays).

It works fine in my game, and it only needs the addition of the following lines in the part.cfg:

name = ModuleResourceConverter
         ConverterName = Fuel Cell
         StartActionName = Start Fuel Cell
         StopActionName = Stop Fuel Cell
         FillAmount = 0.95
        [B]AutoShutdown = true
         GeneratesHeat = true
         TemperatureModifier = 3300
         DefaultShutoffTemp = 0.5[/B]
        UseSpecialistBonus = false

The temp values need tweaking, they're fine for me because they're powering my armored vehicles, some people might not agree with the high heat values.

After releasing the first version, I want to adapt the script so it's activated after this one: https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/1046/ToggleFuelCells

And another change so the fuell cells only drain from the tanks they're attached to (flowmode = STACK_PRIORITY_SEARCH), which is a request from a different topic.

Release: Soon.

Why don't you put them on a ship and turn time warp up past 100x and see why squad didn't do this

Some people don't need time warp, but like the idea of limitations ;-)
