part.AddThermalFlux(double kiloWatts? not kiloJoules?)

[MOARdV]

Does AddThermalFlux really take kW, not kJ?  I'm working on a little PartModule to simulate climate control in a manned pod, and I want to transfer heat from the cabin compartment to the part.  The parameter in AddThermalFlux is named "kilowatts", so I assumed that I should not multiply the value I want to use by time before feeding it to the funciton.  However, this thread...

...says that they're multiplying the input by the timewarp value, which converts it to kJ.  So ... does anyone know if AddThermalFlux really takes Watts, or does it actually take Joules?

I'm calling it every FixedUpdate to transfer energy from the cabin's atmosphere to the part itself (or vice versa, depending on who's warmer), and I want to make sure I'm not adding / removing too much energy from the part.

It's kilowatts as the input. and the AddthermalFlux multiplies it by fixedDeltaTime.
This changes to analytics mode when thermalMaxIntegrationWarp in Physics.cfg is reached.
and as NathanKell mentioned in that other thread you can use interfaces to alter this.
specifically:
IAnalyticTemperatureModifier
IAnalyticPreview
IAnalyticOverheatModule

Which are documented in the new doxygen API docs.

Thanks for the clarification.
