Modular Fuel Tanks for All

[MrWizerd]

So I have been creating files to add third party resources to Modular Fuel Tanks. So far I have created them for TAC Life Support, KSP Interstellar, Extraplanetary Launchpads, and I have added Electric Charge to most of the tanks as well. The idea here was that I had a TON of tanks for all these different resources and I thought I could get rid of a lot of tanks using Tweak Scale and Modular Fuel Tanks. To this end I am offering these files to everyone so that they may do similar things with there tanks. Also, I have contacted the authors or caretakers for TACLS and EPL and they are balanced as of now. I have been unable to get any balance input for KSPI so I did the best that I could. I know that TACLS will be changing there units to a 1 unit = 1 liter, when he does I will be updating the TACLS file to a 5:1 ratio based on fuel being 1 unit per 5 liters of fuel. But for now I am leaving the current ratio until the next TACLS release. I am open to rebalancing the KSPI ratios and suggestions are welcome.

ElectricCharge_MFT.cfg

TACLifesupport_MFT.cfg

KSPI_MFT.cfg

EPL_MFT.cfg

I did not know the best way to make these files public and in the end I figured that since they might warrant there own discussion on balancing and such that I would start there own thread.

Cheers for this! Saved me a lot of searching. One question if you don't mind, how would i go about adding other parts to these? I'm thinking specifically of the water storage tank from KSPI.

[MrWizerd]

Oh, you want the parts from KSPI to be modular?

[MrWizerd]

Ok, I created a couple of cfg's for you that I think will solve your issue.

Methane_TankTypes.cfg

KSPI_ModularFuelTanks.cfg

I also updated the KSPI_MFT.cfg linked in the OP. Basically what I did was add methane to the standard tanks, which I forgot to do initially. So that is fixed. I then made a file to turn the tanks in KSPI modular but I ONLY did the ones that were LFO similar. The other tanks hold a lot less units than they would if they were standard tanks. No initially I did this to get rid of the tanks in KSPI so I didn't think to do this, I can make the other tanks modular as well, but they are a bit more complicated because they all would need there own tank types. Also, ALL the tanks that are modular accept the Methane tanks are just default so they will be filled with LFO instead of water or whatever initially. You can change what is in them afterwards but I didn't make tank types for them all. There is another way to do it in the tank definition file but it makes them static and not have like the default tank type or anything. If you really need all the tank types for these tanks I can make them it is just a bit of time. So the tanks from KSPI that are modular with these two files are as follows.

(Default Tank Types)

Liquid water tank

Pure liquid tank 2.5 and 3.75

Ammonia tank

(Methane Tank Types Methane45% Oxidizer 55%)

Ultra 75 Methane tank

Z200-47 Methane Tank

Cheers, those helped me out a lot. I actually wanted them so I could Put some life support supplies in them. They are way sleeker looking than the ones that i've found on the TAC thread. I had a go at writing my own cfg's last night that actually ended up working perfectly once i fiddled around with them a bit. I decided to add the functionality to the tanks from near future too, it's all purely for aesthetic reasons since I use extraplanetary launchpads.

Ok, the TAClifesupport is now at utilization of 5 which goes with the belief that 1 liter is = to 1/5 unit.

[MrWizerd]

I have updated the TACLifesupport_MFT to fall in line with the tac update. The old one will break modular tanks because there is duplicate entries for TAC in default and servicemodule tank types.
