Fuel switch mod

[BSNB]

If I plan on using the nerv engine that only uses liquid fuel. Should I add the fuel switch mod to my game?

[Chibbity]

What, why?

Just use the stock liquid fuel tanks, plenty of them to choose from.

[Goro san]

You could, but not just use liquid fuel only tanks?

/damn i was ninjaded

From my understanding. The fuels say hold 200 / 200 (liquid / ox) The mod lets you use 400 liquid on any fuel tank.

Yeah, rocket fuel tanks hold liquid fuel/oxidiser.

Liquid fuel tanks only hold liquid fuel. So...use the liquid fuel tanks?

The Mk.1 Liquid fuel tank for instance holds 400 liquid fuel.

Just so we are on the same page here the Mk 1 Liquid fuel tank is the same weight and size as the Rocket fuel version; the FLT400.

fuel switch is very useful for nuclear engines, makes no sense to stick with the liquid fuel only tanks when you can make all tanks useful.

I don't even have the liquid fuel only tanks unlocked. I avoid the 'air plane' tech until I get everything else.

Why? Airplanes are great!

Also there are plenty of useful parts in there for rockets, like fins and obviously liquid fuel only tanks and such.

Plus, you could be making spaceplanes, or return gliders?

Or grab a regular tank and get rid of oxidizer. You will carry extra mass but the regular tanks hold a lot more liquid fuel

but there's still wasted space. with stock, if the tank is something like 200/200, you cannot do 400/0. it will only let you do 200/0.

that's why the OP wants to use a mod. the mod lets you use all the space of any tank, apparently.

And it's more realistic, we flew planes before rockets
