Way to combine a resource in a part's RESOURCE section

[seanth]

Is there a built in way, or a mod .dll that allows one to define an amount of a resource on a part, but have that total amount be taken up by more than one resource.

For example, let's say you have MineralA and MineralB, and have a Storage Bin part. What would be nice would be to say something like:

RESOURCE{

name=MineralA

and

name=MineralB

amount=0

maxAmount=10

}

That way the part would hold MineralA and MineralB, but together they can only reach a max amount of 10, be it 1%:99% or 50%:50%.

I suspect this does not currently exit, but thought I'd check first.

Hm, this isn't possible stock, but I think it might be possible using MFS. Else it would be rather easy to do via plugin. Something like this perhaps:

DUAL_RESOURCE
{
    nameA = mineralA
    nameB = mineralB
    densityA = 0.01
    densityB = 0.02
}

and then in the config:

MODULE
{
    name = ModuleDualResource
    maxAmount = 10
    amountA = 0
    amountB = 0
}

You'd just have to define everything in a .dll and set that amountA + amountB <= maxAmount.

EDIT: Okay, I'm tired. Above makes no sense. Would probably make more sense this way:

RESOURCE_DEFINITION
{
    name = mineralA
    density = 0.01
    flowMode = NO_FLOW
    transfer = NONE
}

RESOURCE_DEFINITION
{
    name = mineralB
    density = 0.0
    flowMode = NO_FLOW
    transfer = NONE
}

and then in the config:

MODULE
{
    name = ModuleDualResource
    maxAmount = 10
    resourceA = mineralA
    resourceB = mineralB
    amountA = 0
    amountB = 0
}

Check out the Spherical and Toroidal tanks mod. That does exactly what you want.
