What does the number mean for "DefaultShutoffTemp"

[KerikBalm]

So I've finally got over my aversion to using the small ISRU (i thought it would make ISRU too easy, I wanted the large one to be even heavier as it was), and designed a 2 kerbal lander <10 tons to go finish off all the science for the Mun that I had not got earlier (tech tree is completed, just doing this or the sake of completion), the "Science Cleaner" vessel (shouldd go to Minmus and do the same afterwards).

1x 3 star engineer is onboard to make ISRU go faster, 1x scientist on board to reset the experiments, 2 mk1 cabins to store duplicate samples/experimments.

Everything seemed good, 2 small drills, 3 small deployable radiators, 1 radial ore tank, 1 small ISRU. Everything is temperature stable when its running, but if I switch to something else, timewarp, and come back, the ore tank is full, but almost no fuel was made -> it gives me a message about the core temperature being to high and a shutdown.

If fills up its small ore tank in less than 2 hours. To make this thing work, I have to come back to this ting every 2 hours, and start the ISRU... which when drawing from a full ore tank (vs the ore that is produced at the rate its made from the drills), consumes moe power than the craft can provide, so I need to shut the drills down, timewarp until the tank is empty, an repeat...

75 units or ore in the tank converts to roughly 7 units of LF... it will take forever to get this thing to the next biome...

Its realy a pain in the ____ .... so I'm going to .cfg file mod. Ideally I'd just prevent the core temp shut down.

in the .cfg file, it says:

        DefaultShutoffTemp = .8

What is that 0.8 value? which way should I change this to allow it to get hotter (even though I don't know why it shuts down at all, it seems to be a calculation error from the calcultions done for when I switch to it to make it the active vessel - again it is temperature stable wen its the active vessel).

I suggest you send a PM to RoverDude, who wrote the code.  He can tell you everything there is to know about the Ore system

@PART[MiniISRU]
{
	@MODULE[ModuleResourceConverter],* // IIRC, that hits every module of that type...
	{
		@GeneratesHeat = false
	}
}

Might want to fiddle with the thermal efficiency and stuff a little as well, but the getting rid of overheats is faster with ^^ than messing with overheat temps and heating rate

Or even better, just mention @RoverDude like this, which will cause him to get notified and he'll see this thread and hopefully reply here.  Then everybody gets the benefit of the answer. 

(One of the nice things about KSP is that the devs actually read the forums and respond directly to questions there-- I see lots of posts from folks like RoverDude and NathanKell, they're very responsive.)
