Action Group to support enabling/disabling RCS fuel tanks


Recommended Posts

When I build multi-stage rockets, I'll frequently have RCS fuel attached to more than 1 stage. Obviously, I would like to burn the RCS fuel from the lower stages first. To do this, I disable the tanks of the higher stage. Once I've separated, I then enable the RCS tanks on the upper stage. When I have several tanks, I'd like to be able to switch them all on at one point. Unfortunately, it seems that I'm unable to bind an action group enabling or disabling RCS fuel tanks. Have I missed something? If not, would this please be added to a future release?

By default, RCS will drain from the last-placed tank to the first-placed tank, unless it's changed from the last time I did a test on it. You should be able to avoid this entirely by building from the top down, although that does mean you need to plan out your builds fairly carefully beforehand.

As to the actual suggestion, though, I think one of the devs mentioned that the Tweakables system was only a first iteration, and more things will be added to it soon.

As far I've seen in my ships they always drain equally from every tank
