It looks like this issue was discussed previously:
https://www.simplerockets.com/Feedback/View/66V6o8/RCS-ignores-Fuel-Line-being-switched-off
But was conflated with an issue regarding the order that that tanks were being drained in:
https://www.simplerockets.com/Feedback/View/Y2V645/Monopropellant-drains-from-last-stage-to-first
Perhaps this will still be rejected as a "feature not a bug" but it would be really nice if there were a way to isolate monoprop to individual stages.
Repro
- Create a rocket with two monoprop tanks separated by a interstage.
- Attach an RCS nozzle to each tank
- Activate only one of the RCS nozzels and fire it until the first fuel tank runs out
Expected
Unless there is a fuel line or fuel transfer enabled on the interstage then RCS attached to one stage should not draw monoprop from tanks in another stage.
@AnotherFireFox I would go with an entire new propellant category for cold gas instead of a power cycle
