[TechieV]

Reported Version: v0.2.0 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes 
OS: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621) (22621.ni_release.220506-1250) | CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics (12 CPUs), ~3.9GHz | GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 | RAM: 16384MB RAM

 

Frequency: High (Happens all the time.)

Severity: Med (Resources transfer not working as expected)

 

Description:

Expected Behaviour:

Ablator is untransferable, due to the nature of ablative heat shields. Explanation below:

Spoiler

Ablative heat shields work by letting itself ablate away during re-entry.  This way, the ablated material can take away some of the heat instead of letting it get into the capsule. You can't "refuel" an ablative heat shield like any other resource. Once used, they can't be reused.

Observed Behaviour:

Ablator can be transferred between heat shields.

 

Steps to Replicate:

1.      Build a craft with 2 or more heat shields. One should have less ablator.

2.      Launch.

3.      Open the “Resource Manager” app.

4.      Try to transfer ablator, just like how fuel and other resources are transferred.

The ablator should be transferred between the heat shields.

No workaround to disable ablator transfer.
