Atmospheric non-oxygen engines?

[VectorSpam]

I am working on a mod which adds electric thermal jet engines, which are specifically designed to work in oxygenless atmospheres. I had edited the script of the existing Juno engine to test the concept, but when I took it to Duna, the engine did not function. Do I need to make a new resource? If so, how can I make the existing air intakes work with my engine?

If you use IntakeAtm instead of IntakeAir, it should allow engine to function in all atmospheres.

However I'm not sure exactly which mod added it (maybe CRP?), but IntakeAtm is the resource most other mods use to make all atmosphere engines.

Ah, okay. I had cloned the stock shock cone intake and disabled checking for oxygen in the config file. My guess is that it will break the other engines by supplying intakeAir when there is no oxygen.

You could use simple MM patch to add IntakeAtm to all intakes without breaking their ability to supply oxygen to air-breathing engines:

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleResourceIntake],@RESOURCE[IntakeAir],!@RESOURCE[IntakeAtm]]:Final
{
	+MODULE[ModuleResourceIntake]
	{
		@resourceName = IntakeAtm
		@checkForOxygen = false
	}

	+RESOURCE[IntakeAir]
	{
		@name = IntakeAtm
	}
}
