Question about Sterling fission reactors and SystemHeat.

[zabodan]

Out of curiosity, why do these reactors use ModuleSystemHeatConverter rather than ModuleSystemHeatFissionReactor?

[JadeOfMaar]

My reactors are the way they are because ModuleSystemHeatFissionReactor assumes certain characteristics, that the reactor is pretty much a Generation III or prior: That it is water cooled, its fuel and waste are in the form of tall rods (reflected by being non-transferable / not pump-able in-game), and it has certain failure modes.
My reactors are Generation IV. Their failure modes (and the protections against them) are different, and the fuel and waste can be cycled without needing to shut down.

In addition to how the inner workings are different I have the major conflict that the module assumes that the only valid energy resource is ElectricCharge and that the only valid storage for a reactor's outputs is the same part. It is incompatible with Sterling Systems' emphasis on raw thermal energy first, and electricity as a deferred product. I have tried using this module for ThermalPower output but the reactor stops when that is full, as if ThermalPower is a waste product. Added inline heatsinks for holding ThermalPower, and added tankage for the wastes are ignored. Setting tank priority might help but I don't remember if I tried this and I don't have high hopes it would be respected.
