Fuel flow

[Ellie]

Hi

I want to design a new fuel tank and it would be usefull to know if the top-down fuel 'flow' is hard coded or if its changeable by any value I havnt found yet

look at the engine configs they describe how fast the fuel is consumed

[hpearson]

i think he is asking how to make a part act like a pipe, not the consumption of the rocket its self

*i am working on it now

[hpearson]

it looks like it is hard coded

==changelog==

* Fuel can now flow through Strut parts like the tricoupler

but the tricoupler.cfg doesn't have any variables specific to this event

I think it depends on the module type, for example the fuel tank is a 'FuelTank' and so on with the default parts.

But anyway, if the module type is FuelTank liquid boosters will always try and receive fuel from it.

Thank you all but this does not exactly solve my problem. I want to make the fuel flow through the Attach-nodes like this:

[xx][xx]

[xx][xx] -fuel tanks

[xx][xx]

[xx][xx]

[ ]

/\ -engine

so the engine under the left fuel tank also consumes the fuel of the right fuel tank

Pretty sure that this is hard-coded, as I have tried (with no success) to use a reverse tricoupler to send the fuel from 3 tanks to one engine. Only one of the tanks gets used and the other two just get jettisoned while still full.
