One Way Fuel Crossfeeding Stack Adapter


Recommended Posts

It seems the stack adapters (quad at least) only crossfeed in one direction, "down" as in "what normally is down" for the part. If I built it upsidedown (via docking ports) no fuel flows into the engines.

Can I edit the part or will I have to built something strange with fuel ducts? (They wont attach to the adapaters.)

All the adapters (dual/tri/quad) have that key on the config file:

NoCrossFeedNodeKey = bottom

It is there to avoid the fuel to be pumped on a unbalanced way.

So removing it would at your risk of having a bad fuel flow. (fuel line would be better).

Not sure why your fuel lines don't attach to the adapters.

This is due to the fact that the cfg have that line:

attachRules = 1,0,1,0,0

stack, srfAttach, allowStack, allowSrfAttach, allowCollision

It does only allow for the art to be stacked, and allow other parts to be stacked to it, no surface attached.

You could edit those without affecting the game.

PS: Any edit you make, either make a new cfg (make sure you change the name = partname), or backup the original one (with another extension that .cfg).

So if I wanted to create a new part that works in reverse, what would I enter here (top?) - and what to change so it possibly starts out flipped up in VAB?

Leaves the question why it was designed that way ...
