Something is editing my electric resource to MaxAmount = 0 in batteries and probes as well as whenever I launch a ship the batteries are always at zero charge

[NikorTaron]

Here's an example from my save file:

                RESOURCE
                {
                    name = ElectricCharge
                    amount = 0
                    maxAmount = 0
                    flowState = True
                    isTweakable = True
                    hideFlow = False
                    isVisible = True
                    flowMode = Both
                }

This is happening to batteries and probes seemingly randomly. It hasn't happened to every ship yet, but it does seem to be growing.  I'm running KSP 1.12.3.3173 with all the DLC. It must be a mod somewhere and I suspect through the B9 Part Switcher.

Thanks for the detailed mod list.  Now if you can include a log file, we might be able to glean some more detail.  Nothing in the mod lists stands out.  Also, if you can describe circumstances where you see this happening, that will help.  I know you say it is random, but any detail on use, ships, actions, might help.

 

Also, max amount being 0 is interesting.  I wonder if that is set in the VAB...

Here's my Log and GameData folders https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Tsl2a4DGQwxZ0sBe8RE4uvbzAHNFm8Av?usp=sharing

 

Right now, EVERY time I launch from the SPH or VAB my batteries show a valid max amount, but they have 0 current amount. I've had to start launching with fuel cells so I could start them to get power for launch.

The maxAmount going to zero is happening to vessels that have been in flight for some time.  For example, I have these two wheeled "fuel pumps" with drills and converters on them landed on the Mun. I then land a Fuel Ferry ship next to them, use the fuel pumps to fill it, then return the fuel to Kerbin orbit (using aerobraking to save return fuel ). I've made many round trips this way, but last night when I started the game "poof" no battery capacity. I had to enable the infinite electricity cheat to perform some maneuvers. That's when I checked the save file and saw he maxAmount had been set to zero.

 

The only changes I make in the VAB or SPH is to enable the Kiwi "upgrades" that increase the base charge amount with tech tree acquisition. My 4k batteries get a 200% upgrade to 8k batteries. That works for various probes as well, there's a battery density upgrade that can be applied to the vessel during construction that increases the base capacity.

So I just finished going through my persistent.cfg file to fix the max amounts, the only parts hit so far are (the values are just the defaults I put back plus any applied Kiwi upgrades):

FuelCellArray = 300
FuelCell = 50
probeStackSmall = 15
probeStackLarge = 30
batteryBank = 1000
batteryBankLarge = 4000
mumech_MJ2_AR202 = 5
Mk2Pod = 200
ksp_r_largeBatteryPack = 400
mk1-3pod = 150

I'm suspecting that this happened when I switched back and forth between vehicles because while I fixed ~50 entries, I have many many more that could have been set to zero but weren't.
