Fuel transfers between multiple tanks?

[kurja]

I've put together a large craft in orbit and now I need to refuel the thing so I can go anywhere with it, and it's taking ages to do because I have dozens of fuel tanks in there... Is there a convenient method, by a mod or otherwise, for transferring fuel between docked crafts? Like, transfer all resources from a craft through a docking port to any and all tanks on the other side of the port...?

Right click the first tank,

press Alt + rightclick on the other tank

transfer the fuel using in/out buttons on the UI.

People seem to use the TAC fuel balancer, but I've never tried it.

Yes, that's exactly how it's taking half of forever when there are dozens of tanks to transfer fuel to. Do you know of a more convenient method?

thanks, I'll take a look at that

To speed up the actual transfer, if you set up 4x physics time warp (Alt+.) before you start it'll go a lot faster.

I use Tac Fuel Balancer. It really helps when you have lots of RCS tanks and need to fill them all.

What you could do is build a super lifter to get this large craft into orbit without using the craft's fuel, that way there is no refueling required.

Tried that, couldn't make it happen... it's an eve lander, lifting it from Kerbin without using any of it's fuel isn't easy and requires a lifter so large that laaaag.

I like that idea but for some reason the mod doesn't seem to work for me :^/
