Description

Found out the hard way. Minor thing but pretty important for a structural item. I searched the bug tracker for "girder" but couldn't find this particular issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Construct awesome space station piece w/girders.
2) Attach radial liquid fuel engines to girder.
3) Get into space.
4) Stage to liquid engines.
5) ...Fuck.

P.S. You probably get this a lot, but I'm a great proof reader / writer, I'd be happy to contribute item descriptions, anything text, gratis, of course. Love the game and just want to see it more complete!

History

To add to this, the liquid engines are radially mounted.

I know that radially mounted fuel tanks don't crossfeed, however I cannot find a source for radially mounted engines NOT mounted on a fuel tank?

Riddia,

The do allow crossfeed. Are you sure you aren't using an engine that needs a different type of fuel(i.e. a Monopropellant engine without Monoprollent)?

I've attached a couple of screenshots showing radial engines attached to a girder working.

I'm using the L1-R liquid engine. I can see several of them on my space station (radially mounted to the tanks themselves) get fuel and are OK, but there are 4 that are attached to the girders themselves that have no fuel available to them.

Now that I look closer, I can see the engines have decided to mount themselves INSIDE the girders, I cannot select them but going back and testing in the VAB these engines always seem to mount themselves to the inside of the girder, perhaps a clipping issue?

I have MechJeb and FAR installed, but I installed them AFTER getting this space station into orbit, so I don't think they're having any effect.
